Wow. It's 9 p.m. What time will they call this thing?

Fman99 May 29 2018 01:40 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

According to the SNY crawl they are going to play, first pitch set for 10:05 PM.

Edgy MD May 29 2018 02:05 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Gary and Keith acting a little punchy.

41Forever May 29 2018 02:07 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

If it's the same umpiring crew, I predict a very, very wide strike zone. Guys should go up there hacking.

Edgy MD May 29 2018 02:11 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Brandon got at least one called strike he didn't agree with. Jay Bruce gets "Born in the USA" from the Atlanta organist.

Edgy MD May 29 2018 02:12 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

That's fan interference! Conforto should get to score! Adrian Gonzalez gets "Theme from Rocky."

41Forever May 29 2018 02:14 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

I'm liking this so far!

41Forever May 29 2018 02:15 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Well, that was gift.

Edgy MD May 29 2018 02:16 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

I think McCarthy got crossed up there by the secondbaseman covering second, so you can't lead him like you'd lead the shortstop. You're in fact throwing behind him. Weird.

Fman99 May 29 2018 02:16 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Rally repellant, Jose Reyes.

41Forever May 29 2018 02:17 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Reyes the rally killer.

41Forever May 29 2018 02:18 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Wilmer's injury probably extends Jose's tenure, which I thought would end when Frazier returns.

d'Kong76 May 29 2018 02:24 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

On the radio game-one pre-game they mentioned that it's been forty years since the Mets played a doubleheader on Memorial Day. I thought it would be interesting to go back a re-visit those two games. Here's Game Two, courtesy of our friends at Shaefer and Ultimate Mets Database!

Fman99 May 29 2018 02:39 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Nice gun there by Conforto.

Edgy MD May 29 2018 02:42 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

If they're gonna try and groove strike one to you, Nimmo, you know what to do.

41Forever May 29 2018 02:43 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

NIMMO Kaboom!!!! He's gotta stay in the lineup!

Edgy MD May 29 2018 02:44 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Second time around, Bruce gets "Don't Bring Me Down."

Edgy MD May 29 2018 02:49 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Sheesh, somebody buy Reyes a break.

41Forever May 29 2018 02:51 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Poor Jose. Foul by inches.

Fman99 May 29 2018 02:56 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

I hate the fucking tomahawk music.

Centerfield May 29 2018 03:00 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

How the fuck is Conlon the best option we have. That alone should tell you all you need to know about Anderson’s farm system.

Wow. Just wow.

Centerfield May 29 2018 03:04 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

So I actually gave myself a glimmer of hope when he took the mound. “Maybe if he shows us something here he can be a lefty option out of the pen.” Um. Nope.

Centerfield May 29 2018 03:04 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Oh good. Robles in. Things should settle down now.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 29 2018 03:07 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

On the plus side, Conlon is performing at a major-league level. I mean, it's Vargas' major-league level, but still.

Centerfield May 29 2018 03:14 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Good job by Robles there to limit the damage. Feel like Plawecki should call his off speed pitches more. Let’s score 20.

Centerfield May 29 2018 03:18 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Robles kinda looks like Beltran when batting. Until he swings.

Nymr83 May 29 2018 03:23 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Rain Rain Come back soon...

d'Kong76 May 29 2018 03:35 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

I've run out of steam; looking forward to a happier recap t'row am.

Edgy MD May 29 2018 03:45 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

I know they want to conserve pitchers, but Hansel looks like he's run out of crumbs.

Nymr83 May 29 2018 03:58 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

A rare Reyes sighting! Come on Mets!

Edgy MD May 29 2018 04:00 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Braves be sending the coach out for a fake chat to ultimately stall until the reliever is ready. Mets be sending Rosario up to face a sidearmer with the bases loaded and one out. Squeeze it!

Nymr83 May 29 2018 04:02 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Yeah!! I knew I stayed up for a reason!

Edgy MD May 29 2018 04:03 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Or knock a two-run single over shortstop! That's good too!

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2018 04:18 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

this friggin team. nothing is going right. you knew leaving the guy on 3rd with 1 out was going to hurt.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2018 04:29 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

the Mets when they hit well don't hit nearly enough 3-run homers

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2018 04:31 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

man on 3rd, less than 2 out. here we go again

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2018 04:32 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Reyes hacks to 0-2, then goes down looking

Edgy MD May 29 2018 04:33 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

At a pitch three inches off the plate. Wasn't much he could have done hacking at that. It was a Glavine strike. BUT LUIS!!!

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2018 04:33 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

wow, 2 out, 2 run oppo single. shut me up, Guillermo

Edgy MD May 29 2018 04:45 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Call me Bob Bailor, because I'm bailing. Enjoy the finish.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2018 04:50 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

you missed Rhame blowing them away 1-2-3. my schedule is destroyed; I napped late and will try to take you all to the end

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2018 05:08 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

fammy pitching the 8th. is he the 8th inning guy now? Freeman just missed a homer. eventually strikes out.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2018 05:24 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

fammy back in there for the 9th. one out

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2018 05:24 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

2 out

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2018 05:28 AM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

I heard the tomahawk and went to bed.

Centerfield May 29 2018 01:31 PM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Was shocked to check the score this morning and see that the Mets had won. Good job by the offense to rally after our starter gave back and early lead yet again.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 29 2018 02:10 PM Re: Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/28, Game #2 of 2

Starring Robles as the stopper, no less.

Conlon will probably get other chances, and probably deserves them, but it's going to be hard to find a way to win with an 85-mile-per-hour fastball.

I heard the tomahawk and went to bed And Chick'saw cries did fill my head For though my team could yet surprise Foreboding smoke obscured the skies I saw ghostdancers from great length Distant shadows great in strength When wisps of hope passed through my heart The laughter grew, they broke apart I heard Coyote howl at night Iguana slithered, crow took flight The Mets could win! I loudly said But Hawk still circled overhead The great war cry grew louder still Ten thousand Braves moved in to kill Aaron Matthews Glavine Spahn I cursed them all (plus Fred Wilpon) But I am not the type to weep If Rocker doth disturb my sleep I said a prayer, I set my clock With no more thoughts of tomahawk For even in a losing streak Sunrise comes o'er yonder peak A new morn in my window pane A new chance for the Mets again But lo, what's there beside my bed? My phone still has a charge, it said! "An 8-5 win?! What's THAT, you say?" THE TOMAHAWK BE MINE TODAY!
