No bull Hurdle tells Mets to buckle up for MadBum

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle can tell the Mets about drawing the Giants’ Madison

Bumgarner in a one-game wild card playoff game. “It’s like drawing a bad bull when you are one of those bull riders,’’ Hurdle, a rodeo fan, told the New York Post on Sunday. “Some guys draw Wildflower and some guys get Widow-maker. That particular night ... we got Widow-maker.” Hurdle was reflecting on the 8-0 blanking Bumgarner staged against the Pirates at PNC Park two years ago when he gave up four singles, walked one and struck out 10. “It’s crazy,’’ Hurdle said of Bumgarner. “Guys were calling me afterwards saying he pitched really well and I said, ‘No, he carved us up.’ It was stuff that you don’t see very often and then he carried it through.’’
