If you bubbled the Dodgers out, she is then hot.

And you've been crying about the shitty ass Mariners all season long too and I bear with it.

I'm going to try to not cry about the Mets, but they make it so hard.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Ryu is making this game fly by.

 

[The Frankman]

dat 2 game sweep.

 

[Carlbeego]

lol

From HBT:

It was the first time Rivera had ever taken a blown save or a loss in an appearance without recording an out.

Wow.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Awww.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

From HBT:

Wow.

Mets make history.

 

[Syrinx]

From HBT:

Wow.

I wonder how often he's blown a save to a team getting shut out before he came in. I wouldn't be surprised if you could count them on two hands. Maybe even one.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Aww, as a neutral observer I was wanting to see the always entertaining Brandon League Show.

 

[Alex Anderson]

*tunes to 13th inning in Milwaukee

 

[HarryDemeanor]

DODGERS WIN!

Ryu had a great game tonight.

 

[KidA Seven]

 

[HarryDemeanor]

YES!

 

[brianjones]

fuck yeah gettin my dodgers and kings flags out

 

[HarryDemeanor]

fuck yeah gettin my dodgers and kings flags out

Car flags for all!

 

[Lambtron]

I'm pretty sure Dick Bremer just had an orgasm because of Dozier's stop at second there.

I almost did because this horrible fucking game is almost over.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Nifty catch there, Dozier

Mets make history.

Mets are also the only team to have 3 walk-off hits against Mariano, according to ESPN. That's actually really surprising to me, considering the relatively few times they've played each other.

 

[geeko]

Nice hit by pence.

 

[cashman]

I have no idea what the purpose for the double header yesterday was.

 

[Square Triangle]

I have no idea what the purpose for the double header yesterday was.

Scheduled event?

 

[cashman]

Scheduled event?

yep. Double header yesterday and off day today. I guess Arizona thought they couldn't sell enough for an afternoon weekday game.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Segura is ridiculous. Too bad we lost, but thanks Angels!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

DFA Rivera.

 

[rekameohs]

From HBT:

Wow.

He's also probably the first person to throw a ceremonial first pitch and lose the same game.

 

[The Frankman]

Mets are also the only team to have 3 walk-off hits against Mariano, according to ESPN. That's actually really surprising to me, considering the relatively few times they've played each other.

And I vividly remember the other two:

Matt Franco walkoff 2-RBI single to right field to give the Mets a 9-8 win in 1999.

David Wright walkoff "single" to deep center to give the Mets a 7-6 win in a crazy game.

 

[Malo]

DFA Rivera.

He's a false prophet.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Man I was spent so I fell asleep. Wake up today n see Mets beat Mo the Closer. Is Ike gone yet?

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

I have no idea what the purpose for the double header yesterday was.

New schedule format required it.

 

[Windu]

lol yankees

 

[eznark]

Segura is ridiculous. Too bad we lost, but thanks Angels!

It's going to be a lot of fun watching Braun and Segura for the next few years...as the Brewers struggling to win 70 games in each of them.

 

[Lambtron]

Segura is ridiculous. Too bad we lost, but thanks Angels!

This is hilarious to me. I'm glad he's going nuts for anyone but Scoscia. I'm honestly happy Gomez is playing to his potential for you all, I love that kid. I was smiling like an idiot when he tipped his cap to Hicks after he robbed him of that homer.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

You guys have pretty good pitching/defense - just need some offense. Trading Myers as an "all-in" move is looking worse and worse.

Yeah. It was just one of those gambles... there was no way to foresee that the entire offense would completely fall asleep in the month of May. It's crazy that they went 17-10 in April, then 7-18 in May.

I really don't get why, for all these years, things are so bad. Our prospects turn out to be busts. Two years ago, Eric Hosmer, Mike Trout and Bryce Harper were all at the top of the various prospect rankings. Why is it always our guy who turns out to be the bust? Dayton Moore has only been around since 2006. This fucked-upness has been going on for three decades, four GMs and two owners. I don't know if it's coaching, scouting, a radon leak under the K, or what.

 

[rubius01]

Arizona needed the off day. Without the off day today they would be over 20 consecutive games played.

 

[sf2fanatic]

I didn't start Ryu in fear that he was going to get shelled by The Angels. smh

Lol even on his bad day he'll give you a quality start.

Thx corran for adding me to the dodgergaf. delete the Angel one.

 

[captmcblack]

Even GOD is fallible in a world of humans.

 

[The Frankman]

Ike may not be the only guy to go down soon:

The Mets have discussed sending Ruben Tejada to Triple-A, a high-ranking team source told Andy Martino of the Daily News.

However, the source said, “If we call up Omar Quintanilla, we can’t send him back down,” because the Mets would be dangerously thin on organizational shortstop depth if he’s later claimed off waivers.

Tejada is batting .209 with just 10 doubles and 14 walks in 49 games.

Meanwhile, Quintanilla is batting .328 with a .415 OBP in 125 at bats this year for Triple-A Las Vegas.

Apparently one of the reasons Omar isn't up here is he's out of options; if the Mets try to send him down he'll have to pass through waivers. Personally that sounds dumb, just don't send him down once he comes up.

 

[sf2fanatic]

We'll trade ya Dee Gordon for a 6 pack of Jolt cola

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Team needs another IF anyways.

 

[Fox318]

Can't belive Mo blew that.

Fuck

 

[Dominican Power]

Pedroia is playing wit ha torn UCL in his left thumb. He's on his Kobe steez.

 

[3N16MA]

Offense better score more than 1 run against Hefner.

 

[rekameohs]

I have no idea what the purpose for the double header yesterday was.

Last year, MLB realized that the Dbacks had too many games scheduled together and so that forced a doubleheader. It did very well financially (and since it was against the Marlins, that's actually fairly impressive). The team requested another doubleheader on Memorial Day this year.

Spoiler

going 4-0 in those games is pretty nice

I actually would not mind to see this started as a tradition. The best traditions are, after all, started almost randomly.

D-Backs double header on Memorial day.

It's not like Meyers is exactly lighting up AAA for the Rays, either. But yeah, it sucks. As the only other team in the Central who isn't the White Sox or Tigers and doesn't have a racist logo, I'd like KC to be good. Hopefully KC and the Twins will be jockeying for the division in 2015 while the other teams are all terrible. One can hope anyway.

Trust me.

It's not always just YOUR guy who busts.

Some guys just take longer. So many people were saying that Dom Brown was a bust and would never amount to anything, and he is having a really solid year. I wouldnt be surprised at all to see Hosmer turn it around. I really wish the Phils hadnt played the Royals early on when you guys were tearing it up.

 

[The Frankman]

I'll say this much; Kevin Gausman is no Matt Harvey.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Hosmer's line drive rate is still solid, he's just hitting right at people. his numbers should get better soon enough.
