Batting the pitcher eighth seems to have gone the way of Asdrubal. Callaway hasn't done it since June 19 in Colorado.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Whether on the mound OR notching extra-base hits with less than two out, our guy can't buy help.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Speaking of un-purchasable things... my attendance at a Zac Brown Band-plus-Onerepublic twofer.

[Guest 41Forever]

I see we’re giving deGrom the customary level of support.

[Frayed Knot]

We should just preemptively forfeit deGrom games.
It would save wear and tear on him and the outcome would be the same anyway.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I mean, but then we'd miss stuff like that thar slider to retire Marte.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Aaaaaaand there's a two-out run, and that's the ballgame.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Is Callaway gonna let deGrom hit? I'm not asking what you would do. What Callaway would do.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Yes. And deGrom will again get the only hit in the inning.

[Lefty Specialist]

I almost want them to trade deGrom to somebody who can score some runs for him.

Almost.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

[sarcastic clapping]

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Just... embarrassing.

[Guest d'Kong76]

And deGrom got 2 of the Mets 6 hits.

[Guest cooby]

Please. Let’s keep him and Thor until we can find a team that can make them winners

[Guest cooby]

We cannot deal out our good cards.


Geez louise I wish I had some say

That is pathetic. I volunteer me, my 8 cats, my mom, and my dad in law (in a home) to effing replace the Mets.if things continue to suck I’ll throw in my hubby, kids, inlaws abd grandkids

Finally my 8 cats but really at that point it’d just be embarrassing for the team (but hella better for me)
Marnie already can bat better than half the Mets and she lives under my bed

Tonight's loss drops the Mets into last place as they play leapfrog with ineptitude rivals, the Miami Marlins. More important, the Mets gain two slots as they jockey for position in next year's amateur draft. If the season ended today, the Mets'd pick sixth. Yesterday, they would've drafted eighth.

Gotta root for something.

Waitaminnit!
Getting rid of in-laws can help the Mets?
Why didn't you tell us that years ago?

Later

Mets move up a slot in next year's amateur draft. If the season ended today, the Mets would select fifth overall.

Beats rooting for Jason Vargas.
