Scoreboard Watching (July 10, 2013)

Scary times up in AT&T Park.

Mets @ Giants, 12:45p PT. Zack Wheeler (2-1, 4.29) faces Matt Cain (5-5, 4.85), with a chance for the Mets to sweep the Giants. In each game of this series, it's gotten easier for New York. Game 1 on Monday was a 16-inning, five-and-a-half-hour dirge of six scoreless frames before the Mets got Eric Young to single, steal second, get sacrificed to third, and come home on a two-out fielding error by Brandon Crawford. Mets win, 4-3. Game 2 on Tuesday was a back-and-forth seesaw battle tied at 5 until the 8th inning, when Giants reliever Jake Dunning came in trying to stave off a one-run deficit with the bases loaded, when Marlon Byrd uncorked the first pitch for a grand slam (putting the Mets up 10-5; they won 10-6).

Today's the third and final game of the series. Giants have dropped 15 of their last 18 games.

Eric Young's on third with none out in the first. Oyster Pubes makes a throwing error on EY's SB, allowing Young to advance

Eric Young scores on a Dan Murphy single. None out.

Remember also, Wheeler is who the Giants traded to the Mets to get Carlos Beltran.

I'm no satin worshipper, glad to see Ike Davis in the lineup today.

MR.F said...

Hahahahhaaha why is Cain out? Just run out of the inning?

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Cain must've suffered a boo-boo. Is he a candidate for a PRP injection?

36 pitches, .2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 1 K

Schadenfreude is my favorite of all the freudes!

Just saw this headline, went to post it as a comment, and saw that you all are of course ahead of the game.

Still:

"Mets end Cain's day early to back rookie phenom Wheeler" (MLB.com)

Dang, Fat Sandwich broke up Wheeler's no-hitter.

Steve Sax said...

Cain only lasted 0.2 IP. What the heck is up?

Steve Sax said...

Cain: 6 years/$127.5M (2012-17), plus 2018 option

Did someone say fat sandwich?
