We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

[YOUTUBE]LQiOA7euaYA[/YOUTUBE] First Place Showdown https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/40653592923_b6f1536d44_z.jpg> It's looking like another Mets season reduced to rooting for personal accomplishments. Last year, it was Jake deGrom's triumphant Cy Young quest. This year, it's Pete Alonso's ROY and potentially record-setting HR campaigns and Squirrel McNeil's pursuit of an improbable batting title in the Coors Field era, where a Rockie wins that award seemingly every other year.

Let's hope Wheels can limit the longball damage today but you know, I'm not real optimistic. I don't know how the team isn't completely in the dumps as this "defining" road trip finally ends 3-7 so far with two embarrassing blowouts, losing two 4-games series to division rivals including 3 straight Ls to the reeling Phillies all on multirun lead giveways; 2 Seth Lego bedshits; 2 crushing walkoff losses; 2 coaches fired; unchecked aggression toward the fourth estate engendering fake, insincere apologies or in the case of Vargas, insensitive tone-deaf justification.

Edgy MD Jun 27 2019 11:10 AM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

Road blues at home for Phillies. Nola looking like Randy Lerch.

G-Fafif Jun 27 2019 11:12 AM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

IGT of record here.

Edgy MD Jun 27 2019 11:13 AM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

Randy Lerch looking pretty sharp striking out the side in the first.

Edgy MD Jun 27 2019 11:16 AM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

And a quick leadoff single by Bob Dernier.

Edgy MD Jun 27 2019 11:22 AM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

I prefer the maroon-era Phils with a stylized seam in the middle of the P, making the negative space look like a baseball.

Edgy MD Jun 27 2019 11:51 AM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

About time Franco did something wrong in this series.

seawolf17 Jun 27 2019 12:04 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

At least two Poolers in the house today, as per their Facebook posts. Get this win, fellas.

One indignity we haven't yet suffered on this trip is getting no-hit but Mets haven't given up on that dream yet.

Edgy MD Jun 27 2019 12:34 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

One hit between the two teams through three and a half.

Edgy MD Jun 27 2019 12:51 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

Get some pride, Mets. Get some shame. https://d9nvuahg4xykp.cloudfront.net/8826380382360006884/-7743521648196867694.jpg> Here's your ticket, pack your bags. Time for jumping overboard.

Edgy MD Jun 27 2019 01:02 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

Wheels gets the hit!

Edgy MD Jun 27 2019 01:08 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

Looking for Ben Grimm behind first base.

Looking to get that Harper homer back.

MFS62 Jun 27 2019 01:36 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

Rosario swinging at the first pitch was irritating, but typical. I just found out that Frontier Communications will NOT be renewing their deal with SNY, so I'll be a fan on radio only (except for those dreadful ESPN and FOX games). Later

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 27 2019 01:39 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

Lagares is hitting .182 with a .515 OPS. Cano hitting 233 with a 631 OPS It was a real step change in quality there

Edgy MD Jun 27 2019 01:43 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

Poundcake trying to stay a major-leaguer and keep the Mets in the game.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 27 2019 02:00 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

Put on your rally jocks. Conforto has a 1-out single in the 9th

Hit & Run with Ramos is a play I've been waiting for all season.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 27 2019 02:09 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

Kicking Neris while he's down, I like it. Rosey needs to drive in the run here

Let's bring Mazza in for the save

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 27 2019 02:22 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

My thought is, if we had Cesar Hernandez and the Phillies had Cano, we'd be in second place and they'd be in 4th.

He won't get canned with this weekend coming will he? Does he make it to Yankees series? And WTF are we going to do about Diaz? What an absolute disaster of a trade, and of a series. The Phillies on Monday were deader than we are right now, and we let them beat us four streat.

MFS62 Jun 27 2019 02:36 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

Psst, Cooby. The movie is still on. Later

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 27 2019 02:37 PM Re: We're on the Road to Nowhere: The IGT - NYM@Phillies - 6/27/19

I mean, if you're into teams shitting all over themselves the Mets are incredible. Five straight!! I think they have to demote Diaz from the closer role or maybe they DL him to preserve his feelings. We'd have been better off had we just left Gselly in the role as he was more or less fine upon assuming the role last year, iirc.

Fire the whole damn active roster. Scratch that - everyone but deGrom, McNeil, Alonso, Dom Smith, and Conforto.

This was an absolute glorious game in all Metness , it had it all , I was listening while driving home, then for further punishment I tuned into SNY just before Frazier hit the HR....what an epic ...Diaz looks shell shocked
