Can the Mets ever beat the Nats? Their best chance may come tonight with Jonathon Niese on the mound for the 7:05 start
I’d love to see us put together a winning streak.
Hey Peter – I’ll settle for a win tonight!
i know, I know. I can’t give up the miracles that we once experienced. I am too old to forget!
That wild winning streak that goes from August through September and gets us a wild card spot!
You still live in NY?
Baxter with the triple
So much for getting the early lead
Hey Brian. Is there a way to archive the chat and start fresh? Because it takes a while to load now when i first get on and i’m sure it happens to others as well
It’s on the list of things to do but it’s easier said than done.
i hope this doesn’t turn into one of the “Niese blowup” innings
Two outs – let’s hold the damage to one.
you mean zero
i hope that was Niese’s bad inning of the nite
Sorry, listening on the radio – thought there was a SF on the 2nd out.
Boy the Nats are loaded with pitching. Jackson is probably the best 4th starter in the majors
I’ve got both of these pitchers on my fantasy team. I’m hoping for a 1-0 Mets win tonight.
The Mets are really chasing that breaking ball down, i hope that changes the 2nd time thru
Nice inning
Well, i’m going to eat. I hope they take the lead when i come back
See you later!
still scoreless?
David’s still fishing
why are the Met pitchers still bashing the no-hitter? they know he pitched well until that ankle injury. I don’t get why they are still going back to that no-hitter and dismissing the ankle injury
i mean Met announcers
So what’s the excuse for the bad pitching since he came back?
still the ankle of course
An ankle that doesn’t heal in over two months?
the fact that he tried to pitch another inning with that ankle probably made it much worse
but my main point is how can you blame the no-no when he had 3 excellent starts in 5 tries afterwards
i hope that doesn’t cost us the win
good job niese
jackson has had absolute pinpoint control tonight. I haven’t seen 1 mistake yet
I’m getting the low-scoring game I wanted. Now it just need to stay that way for another couple of innings before the Mets blow it open against the WSN pen. It could happen, right?
You could always hope whatever runs are scored are unearned, right?
Yes
Looks like a good night so far for you. 10 IP, 12K’s, just 5 hits. no runs
and one of those hits really should have been an error
hi name im casey whats your name?
should have been called strike 3 there
i think this is the begininng of the end for jackson
i was right!
I just got back from washing my daughter – how did we score?
HR for Ike
wright walked and then next pitch Davis crushed it to left
i think it will be niese 7th parnell 8th fransicso 9th with rauch as backup
I see Niese’s pitch count getting up there – probably won’t go 8
that’s why i said parnell 8th
finally niese getting some love from the ump.
I think that Ike Davis should be full time.
I agree Brian.
I think this is his last
niese is up 2nd so 90% sure that was last inning
Jason Bay get to PH?
The defense saved him some pitches
i think terry is sticking with niese because of his great career numbers vs the Nats. and well… our bullpen is…
Hi All. Howd we get 2?
Ike davis 2R HR
xllnt
niese good?
but jackson was absolutely dealing and filthy tonight
besides the obvious no runs
our bullpen is…according to stats on today’s broadcast just as bad since the all star break as they were before!
niese had a shaky 1st but has been excellent otherwise
Well, he is hitting
1I’m glad.
I’m glad
I think Harper is due up 1st and Terry doesnt want to burn Edgin
harper,
its ok chris, there will be no one on
thats a plus!!!
Neise the 8th and Rauch the 9th then is whatit looks like.
I don’t think Niese will be able to finish the 8th
Or Niese for Harper than matchups the rest of the 8th…
I’m glad harper can’t win the ROY now
should I just turn off and not jinx this?
Looks like you’re right Brian. Here comes matchup crazy TC
bad news
i vehemently object tot his
Rauch? Shouldn’t he save him for when Francisco blows up in the 9th?
didnt Niese face leftys and rightys all night??????? why yank this from him now?
in his defense, he is at 108
by his i mean collins
How close was that one?
would have 1 bounced the wall
warning tracl
did niese have an extra day of rest for this start?
going to be an adventure with franky frank in the 9th
i cant believe it.
i just cant believe it
the dread is so deep right now. please friends, tel me we can get through this
cmon ike
We’ll get thru it! Hopefully with a win. How’s that
need better than hopefully B
I give you a money back guarantee
perfect!
Another run would be huge here
indeed
I hate to say it, but im rapidly seeing the tarnish on TC
there are no emoticons below that cover where I am at right now
I like it Chris.
Frank-Frank with the 3 up 3 down save
he gets the middle of the order though
i hope edgin is up in case
he is
And Parnell and Ramirez and Acosta…
BAXTER!
Two more missiles and we’re out of the inning!
again
Bax
The gamecast has a thing for each batter – “Loves to face” and “Hates to face” LaRoche loves to face the knuckleball and hates to face a fastball
3 up 3 down for Frank-Frank – who else saw that coming?
They are WINNERS tonight!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good call Brian. Man, you’re spot on tonight
It would be nice to win a series for a change.
no money back. great guarantee
they are 3-5 now, which means they have fulfilled the 3 win quota i set for them, a 4-5 trip against 3 VERY tough teams is nothing too shabby
Night everyone – see you tomorrow.
see yall
if we could win tomorrow then head home for 7 with the rockies and astros then 6 more with the Phillies and Marlins and take 9 out of 13, that could go a long way to fixing August
