I feel like I should try to swing one of these but I don't know that I can convince the wife to do bedtimes alone.

On the other hand, the Mets suck and a 9:30 fall asleep in the car bedtime when we left early isn't the end of the world if I took the nearly 4 year old..

I was in the midst of writing about how I guess that 1st inning -- a single in amongst a couple of wild pitches -- was to be the extent of our offense tonight ... and then Conforto HR'd

So I'm taking credit on the reverse psychology thing.

The problem was Cabby could not jump high enough to make a good DP pivot. A bench clearing discussion ensues.

Re: IGT 06/26 - PIT at NYM - Win One for Gunk!

Yeah, he had a vertical leap of about three inches.

He also failed to let his momentum carry him across the bag and out of the crosshairs of a direct hit from the runner.

Got to that last one, though. I confess I had my doubts.

Run on 3-2. Hit and run on 2-1. Bunt against shifts. Steal. The Pirates have already shown that they'll throw the ball around recklessly if you put the guns to them.

I agree on both counts. Rosie agrees with the first.

Wilmer Flores now has 9 walk-off RBI, tied with David Wright for the Mets franchise record.

Not a bad night at the park, even got Shake Shack.

ThoUGHtS On THe GamE!!!

--other than watching strike 3, good night for Bautista. 2 big running catches, got on base and scored like a leadoff man was supposed to. What does it say that it's come to this?

--Dom Smith. Jesus.

--I'm a Matz skeptic as you know and fully expected him not only to lose the perfecto but the lead and he didn't let me down. I rooted for him though. All the hits he gave up were in a row, until the HR, I think.

--Tim Peterson, I believe, gets his 1st MLB win and deserved one! He's awesome!!!!1

--The game was going nice and quick till Swarzak came in and ground it to a halt. I was getting chilly up there. They don't have a reliever who goes up there and destroys guys anymore. Everyone has become this nibbler, even Fammy.

--I don't believe I have ever been at a game when the benches cleared. The Mets never get into brawls anymore. I can't think of the last one. Familia must have been upset because he couldn't believe Cabrera couldn't make that play.

--Very happy that Wilmo ended it and fairly CAHNfident he would, no help to the Cabrera bunting disaster
