Let's kick their white asses

Justin Turner's ass refuses to get kicked.

G-Fafif Aug 15 2021 05:21 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

This miserable Will Smith character's ass also goes kickless.

Frayed Knot Aug 15 2021 05:23 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Getting down 3 (or 4) Zip in the 1st inning -- as they've done multiple times in recent weeks -- has proven to be a poor strategy for winning baseball games.

Frayed Knot Aug 15 2021 05:37 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

It's amazing how increasing the number of base-runners decreases our chances of scoring.

bmfc1 Aug 15 2021 05:37 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

At least McNeil yelled, "God **** it!" That shows he cares.

Frayed Knot Aug 15 2021 05:47 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Oh so that's one of those two out hits I've been hearing so much about. I wasn't sure what they looked like.

bmfc1 Aug 15 2021 05:50 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

We waited an extra 6 hours for this.

Frayed Knot Aug 15 2021 05:51 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Well, at least we won't lose in extra innings tonight.

Fman99 Aug 15 2021 05:51 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Nice of them to do this early. Gives me time to find any other thing to watch.

bmfc1 Aug 15 2021 06:10 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Luis continues to manage with no sense of urgency. LAD made an error giving the Mets 2 extra outs and he gave one out back. He'll probably say that wanted Carlos to build up his pitch count but this game counts.

Gwreck Aug 15 2021 06:11 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

He took Carrasco out Anyway!!! WTF Luis? Where is the pinch hitter?

Frayed Knot Aug 15 2021 06:17 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Give Reed a spot in the rotation!!!!

Edgy MD Aug 15 2021 06:19 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Do it for Jake!

Frayed Knot Aug 15 2021 06:26 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

A couple of mighty blows by Dom tonight. Not sure if either the combined distance or exit velo broke into triple digits.

Frayed Knot Aug 15 2021 06:29 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

I think that's now 6 ABs w/RiSP tonight and nothing yet has come close to leaving the IF

Do we think Luis pinch hits for Jake Reed here? Or nah?

He'll probably say that wanted Carlos to build up his pitch count but this game counts. I shut it off for a bit after that... I gave Luis an excuse. Now he'll say "short bench" but screw that.

bmfc1 Aug 15 2021 06:53 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Dom is now 0 for 13 against Scherzer.

Frayed Knot Aug 15 2021 06:53 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Still no hits w/RISP, still nothing out of the infield. It's like a disease they can't shake.

Alonso didn't think that last one was a strike. Neither did I. Where did this pinstripes-on-the-bottom and bright-blue-tops come from? It looks like something the cat puked up

Gwreck Aug 15 2021 06:56 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

I don't care how short the bench is, if Carrasco is coming out of the game you at least put up Megill or Stroman or someone who can swing a bat. Period.

They wore this a lot mid-2010s, yes? I think it was Harvey's preferred uniform and they wore it a lot on his starts.

At least we finally retired a Turner tonight. I was thinking that if the Dodgers had put Tina in the lineup that she might have notched a few knocks.

It's been around since 2015. They haven't worn it this year until tonight.

Too many Will Smiths in this league.

kcmets Aug 15 2021 07:46 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Why did they show Scherzer on the screen for like two minutes pacing and grimacing with a 7-run lead? I just sat back down and wasn't about to put the audio on.

Edgy MD Aug 15 2021 07:48 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Who is singing "God Bless America"? Why do I get such a sense of aural comfort food hearing Foxwoods commercials?

Take a strike, Pete. I won't kill ya.

Thank God for wild pitches with runners on third.

Sunday night baseball.

Gwreck Aug 15 2021 08:48 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Great that we couldn't use Pillar to hit since we had to save him for use out of the pen.

You mean when it was 6-0 and the Mets had 2 RISP but Luis let the pitcher bat even though he was taking him out of the game? Yeah, that was dumb.

G-Fafif Aug 15 2021 08:50 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

I admit to actually leaving Citi Field early tonight. First time in maybe 7 years that's happened. This is putrid.

kcmets Aug 15 2021 09:01 PM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

Thought the Mets were at least second tier. After this weekend I guess they are third tier and only when they're lucky.

Lefty Specialist Aug 16 2021 05:39 AM Re: IGT 8/15/2021: LAD@NYM — Mets Be Not Swept

These next ten games are going to be excruciating. It's pretty obvious this team has nothing in the tank.

Just so I have this straight (as I didn't hang with the game thoughout last nihgt) the Mets scored their four runs via -- a groundout, a groundout, a Wild Pitch, and a Sac Fly, the final two being set up by three walks and an infield single?!? That's good hittin' yo!
