Speaking of red recti (Is that the plural of rectum?), one of my co-workers spotted Paul O'Neill in a CVS pharmacy today. My co-worker is a Mets fan, but admitted to me he was't quick enough to ask Paul if he was there to pick up steroids.

Ah poo.

Freaking Freddie Freeman always seems to find way to spoil the fun.

[Guest 41Forever]

Double damn.

[Edgy MD]

That had no bidness getting out.



Bring on Gsellie, I guess.

Figures that it was Fkn Frdy Frmn who broke it. Annnnnnnnnnnnd, there goes another..........oy!

[Frayed Knot]

Eight run lead, two outs to go ... I'd say we have at least a 60% chance to win this game.

[Zvon]

Jake did look kinda beat coming in after the 8th. But I did want him to get the CG shutout.

Bummer.



Overall a great game though. At least so far.

Yikes, I'm very rusty, graphically speaking.

Good game.

Probably would have been bad timing, as O'Neill's sister, the food-critic writer Molly O'Neill, just passed away the other day.

Gary asked Ron if the bad ninth ruin all the positive vibes of the game, and Ron said that at the moment, he probably feels like crap, but once the game gets nailed down, everybody shakes hands, and he's standing in front of his locker, he'll be on Cloud Nine.



But it was more like Cloud Four.

deGrom's been pissed off all year.



I wonder if he might be having Wifey troubles or something similar. It's like it's gone beyond simple in-the-moment sports frustration. I'm a little werried.

[Edgy MD]

Gooden's spoken about this with regard to deGrom, saying that as magical as 1985 was, not being able to go out and just do it again led to him hating the game.



He had to come to realize despite all his work and skill development, a lot had that he couldn't control had to go right for 1985 to happen, and he had to get back to doing what everybody else in the league was doing, trying to take care of business one game at a time, one batter at a time.



deGromio is hoping for a perfect game every time out. That's fine until you give up a run or two, and you still have to get your team deep into the game. You feel like you've already failed, because you have such high expectations of yourself, and you start beating yourself when bad results come, instead of adjusting to adversity.



deGrom yielded something like a batting average of .015 with runners in scoring position last season. It felt like that, anyhow. He can pitch his ass off for 100 years and that still might not happen again.



He needs to grow his hair, play with his kids — play the flute and dance and sing his song.

While he's on the mound? THAT would be interesting!
