I am going to challenge myself and watch the game in espanol!
— Tim Byrdak (@Givemethelefty) May 20, 2013
meanwhile as @bnharrington counts jerseys in an empty minor-league ballpark, mets fan attention is focused on actual major league baseball
— Jon Presser (@metsjetsnets88) May 20, 2013
Marcum loads up that lip with tobacco..and we are ready to play ball! #Mets
— Tim Ya Heard (@TimYaHeard) May 20, 2013
I love the strategy of great leadoff hitter followed by shitty second hitter. That’s how you score runs and win ballgames.
— Steve Smistermet (@_mistermet) May 20, 2013
Cesar Izturis & Rick Ankiel are your #2 hitters tonight…..
— Jay (@TeamThirstTrap) May 20, 2013
Can anyone identify anything that Ike Davis actually does well? He’s become a minus-five-tool player. #Mets

Ike Davis does all the little things!

On Bruce double to RC, Tejada throws to third to get the invisible runner.

@metsjetsnets88 doesn’t have a put away pitch
— d’evON (@DevOnSports) May 20, 2013
i cant watch pitchers like Marcum… nibble nibble nibble put you to sleep #mets
— The Tanna (@danXtanna) May 20, 2013
Rick Ankiel is a .251 career hitter in the #2 spot. Most at bats (419) Most HRs (18) have come in that position.
— Josh Batelli (@Josh_Batelli) May 20, 2013
Pitchers should be docked $10 grand every time they walk Ankiel.
— Mitch Rapp (@MitchNYM) May 20, 2013
@jay_horwitzpr For after his pitching arm falls off?

Mayhaps we are entering the long-awaited Duda/BABIP Renaissance.

I always confuse Johnny Cueto and Edinson Volquez because #CISM
— Mark Ethe (@TooGooden16) May 20, 2013
Of course the bases are loaded for Ike Davis. Of course.

— Steve Smistermet (@_mistermet) May 20, 2013
He hit the ball!!! #BabySteps
— Rob (@RobbieNYK) May 20, 2013
Ike was also called for obstruction during that AB. He interfered with the team’s ability to score runs

Cueto doesn’t have it tonight.

Dusty to Cueto: “You are pitching like you’re on the #METS.Get your crap together and get these bums out.”

Marlon Byrd with a line drive three-run homer to left field, tying this game at three. That got out of here in a hurry. #Mets
— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) May 21, 2013
The whole family is loving Marlon’s HR #Mets twitter.com/dailystache/st…
— Matthew Falkenbury (@dailystache) May 21, 2013
Ike just K’s again, fans booing as he walks toward plate, this is why I advocated sending him down last week. Going to be Lost Cause soon
— Kevin Kernan (@WheresKernan) May 21, 2013
on a scale of 1 to 10..how much does Matt Harvey hate doing these interviews??probably a like 15, right? #Mets
— Tim Ya Heard (@TimYaHeard) May 21, 2013
Love Matt Harvey, hate in-game interviews.
— Mitch Rapp (@MitchNYM) May 21, 2013
Marcum had retired 10 straight batters before that Xavier Paul single. Terminator X!
— Anthony McCarron (@AnthonyMcCarron) May 21, 2013
Cap tipped to Marcum. Looked headed for 8 pm shower, hung in there, figured it out. #Mets
— Jason Fry (@jasoncfry) May 21, 2013
Six swinging K’s for Marcum since this twitter.com/DevOnSports/st… #ThankMeLater

If Ike gets sent down to AAA Tejada needs to go with him. #Mets

Cueto pulled his hands in and cleared his hips. I hope Ike was watching.

10th best 2nd baseman

Nice job by Marcum getting out of the jam in the 5th
— TySim19 (@tysim19) May 21, 2013
B Phillips just caught Wright’s pop in center with his back to the plate. Nifty.
— Anthony McCarron (@AnthonyMcCarron) May 21, 2013
That play is much harder than it looks. Incredible how easy Phillips made it seem.
— Gabriel De León (@gabe_deleon) May 21, 2013
.@jayabruce‘s third HR in his last 4g and fifth HR in his last 10g. Was his 140th career HR, 1 more than Votto. Reds lead, 4-3, T5th.
— Reds (@Reds) May 21, 2013
Saw it as it left Marcum’s hand. Fucking Bruce
— Money & The Hammer (@FartBurglar) May 21, 2013
TC played Ankiel and Byrd because of their success against Cueto. It worked: They went 2 for 3 with two walks and Byrd’s 3-run HR.

WOAH when did SNY buy a blimp?
— Steve Smistermet (@_mistermet) May 21, 2013
marcum was credited with a 3.36 FIP, 3.12 xFIP for today’s outing, which lowers his season FIP to 3.62. not buying that marcum is dead

Foul ball. Damn. Good acting, Phillips
— Gabriel De León (@gabe_deleon) May 21, 2013
Classic case of a play that NEEDS replay. No way one of the umps could see that. Fuck you and your commish for not having replay @mlb

LaTroy Hawkins just got tossed for those really watching
— Kevin Kernan (@WheresKernan) May 21, 2013
LaTroy YES. YOU GO TELL HIM TO DO HIS DAMN JOB AFTER YOU SUCCESSFULLY DID YOURS AFTER HE FUCKED SHIT UP BOO.
— RageWynn (@RageWynn) May 21, 2013
Hawkins just can’t believe the Ump hates #KUBoobs
— Matthew Falkenbury (@dailystache) May 21, 2013
Hawkins essentially tried to get run. He knew he was done pitching today. When Hallion tossed him, Hawkins shrugged and kept jawing.
— Jared Diamond (@jareddiamond) May 21, 2013
Collins was just ejected from the game by the plate umpire
— Anthony McCarron (@AnthonyMcCarron) May 21, 2013
Oh, Terry tossed too? Good. Stick up for your fucking players. I love ejections. Shows your damn heart.
— RageWynn (@RageWynn) May 21, 2013
Just so I can be first, #FireBobGeren.

Tom Hallion is terrible. #BadUmps

Almost makes you miss Angel Hernandez. Almost.
— Mets WFAN (@MetsWFAN) May 21, 2013
Wow, Tom Hallion is a hothead. Now he just has a chip on his shoulder. He won’t check with the 3B ump on a check-swing now? #Mets

Btw, the last time LaTroy Hawkins was ejected was August 4, 2010. Who was the umpire who ejected him, then, you ask? Tom Hallion.
