IGT 7/7 6 pack of wins Mets vs Padres Tale of Two Teams

The Mets and Padres have had similar seasons in that both employ a good amount of highly paid star power with underwhelming results thus far.



Both teams need this series. No Joe Musgrove tonight but we will see Yu Darvish go against that Verlander fellow



I don't know if the Mets are as good as they've looked of late but here's to hoping

Terry Collins replacing Todd Zeile on the pre-game.



I like that even when he's being warm, genial, and gregarious, Terry looks like he has a hemorrhoid that's killing him.

Infield-hit Vogey!



I think it's a sweet look for San Diego. Looks like a national team uni for Guyana or somebody.

Nice to see a team feel that have to make a pitching change to go after Pham.



Nicer still when that backfires and he gets a walk.



I'm rocking solo here.

I think it was more of a dare than a deke, to the extent that it was anything.



But Álvarez with three non-homer hits is encouraging.

And Marte chases the slider away as he is wont to do, and the 1-2-3 killz the Mets rally dead.

Buck leaving Canha in to play third set up a good matchup this inning, but a swinging sac bunt is all he can effect.

It's almost certain they won't do it, but the Mets now have the option of batting Baty for Pham against Honeywell.

That also puts the Mets ahead of the Padres in the Wild Card standings, having already passed Pittsburgh and the Cubs during this streak.

Just watched the condensed game. Impressive clutch hitting in the 10th there to salt this away. Good remedy for the stupid ghost runner is to put up a four spot in the top of the inning. Then a two run dinger won't end things for you.

They look like they should be driving an ice cream truck or jumping out of a clown car at the circus.



Great win for the Mets. Hopefully they can maintain there momentum for the rest of this series and go into the All Star Break on a good note.

Nice night at the park. We were seated in the front row of the second deck, right opposite Pham. In the middle of a long, sold out row so getting up and down to pee or eat was a challenge but t he fans were great.



The concessions are few compared with citi and less within reach so we did what everyone else did and ordered for delivery using the mlb ballpark app. Presto. They even delivered a beer.



Our seats were cushioned and angled toward home plate, nice touch.



Padres unis looked okay on the field but impossible to read the nameplates. Melvin looked like an idiot in a white sweatshirt.



I don't know why the Padres don't win more often; they seem to have a good enough lineup except for catcher. They used too much bullpen last night and ran the bases like idiots, though.
