IGT 6/18: Tomorrow I May Go as Far as Suicide

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I picked up the paper this morning

And read all the daily blues

The world is one big tragedy

I wonder what I can do

About all the pain and injustice

About all of the sorrow

We're living in a danger zone

The world could end tomorrow

But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight

The Atlanta Rhythm Section was what their name indicated they were, a studio band based in Atlanta that among other things backed Roy Orbison. They were Southern but not Southern Rock per se, nice mellow rockin groove with their best stuff.



They are one of those workaday groups that put out 1 album a year for 10 straight years, 1972-1981. Consider this a prelude to their forthcoming Desert Island Mix Tape.



deGrom is pitching, I think

[kcmets]

NYM (34‑38) Jacob deGrom (RHP, 3-6, 3.38)

ATL (43‑30) Julio Teheran (RHP, 5-4, 2.92)

[bmfc1]

Someone on Twitter, perhaps it was Mike Puma, said that if they lose this game they can start selling for next season.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'd start by trading Brodie for Chaim Bloom.

[ashie62]

The usual folks are talking about selling



Lets win one game at a time



Teheran has been a Met hit denier

[G-Fafif]

Do it or die now

Stand your ground

[G-Fafif]

Jeff McNeil - LF

Pete Alonso – 1B

Robinson Canó – 2B

Michael Conforto – RF

Todd Frazier – 3B

Amed Rosario – SS

Carlos Gomez – CF

Tomás Nido – C

Jacob deGrom – RHP

[Vic Sage]

deGrom is the best bat in the 2nd half of that lineup

[whippoorwill]

Good choice!

[Edgy MD]

Situational hitting from Alonso is a heckuva thing to see.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Mets prepping a little Champagne Jam tonight. 3 XBHs, 3 walks in 2+ innings so dar, Teheran working hard at 43 pitches

[Edgy MD]

Three doubles in an inning is also a heckuva thing to see.

[Edgy MD]

Rosie is alright. He wears my ring.

[Frayed Knot]

I was on the verge of borderline depression following the long(-ish) fly out by Acuna leading off the 1st then the Dansby Swanson double because, with Freddie & Donaldson coming up, I had visions of this

game falling apart almost before it started. Fortunately, that descent into madness was forestalled.

[Guest 41Forever]

Darryl's record might fall this road trip!

[ashie62]

Wouldn't it be something if Pete gets 50?



Mets in a romp. I'm delirious

[whippoorwill]

Hold off til the bullpen gets their crack at it

[Frayed Knot]

Alonso robbed of what would have been his third double/4th XBH of the game.

Settles for a single instead.

[Edgy MD]

Needed it for the cycle right?



Not counting chickens here, but two of things I like about this:

2. Disabuses the Braves of the idea that Teheran is an ace again.


4. Disabuses the world of the idea that deGrom isn't.

[Edgy MD]

Freeman swinging 3-0 down 8 to 0.



Stupidity just won't go away.

[Frayed Knot]

Oddest strategy of the day?



- Mets pulling off a double steal with 2 out/2-strikes and the pitcher up



- Freddie swinging 3-0 while leading off an inning (7th) down by eight

[Edgy MD]

At least the Mets pulled it off. And hey, if the pitcher isn't looking, he isn't looking.



But yeah.

[Guest 41Forever]

Jake is at 89 pitches. If he gets through the eighth reasonably easily, maybe he'll be allowed to go for the complete game.

[Edgy MD]

WE WANT BLE-VINS!!!



Do you think these chumps are really going to take deGrom out?

[Guest 41Forever]

Yeah, I think Conforto got all of that one!

[Edgy MD]

McCann is a classick red-ass catcher, isn't he?



When he isn't pissed about something in particular he always seems to be looking for something to get pissed about.

[Edgy MD]

Hilarious. He gets out of the eighth, and walks off the field as his fielders all offer him daps and he ignores them all.

ARS was one of those groups that got thoroughly squeezed out when radio stations started tightening their playlists.

For a while there they were versatile enough to fit into several different formats but, because they weren't definitively representative of any one specific genre, they wound up getting

dropped from all of them when stations chose to "focus" on their core sound. Not that they were ever superstars to begin with, but suddenly it was like they disappeared overnight.
