Minneapolis has the Twins, but we're going for triplets winwise.



Zack Wheeler will endeavor to keep the elevator from bringing us down. Michael Pineda will punch a higher floor where his ERA is concerned.

[Frayed Knot]

In a scheduling oddity (what isn't these days?) the Mets have nearly 16% of their remaining games (11 of 69) against AL Central opponents. At first I thought it was

more because I only remembered the first two games against the Twins and totally forgot about the trio they already played vs Detroit back in May. So far: 3-2



So that's two remaining against the very good Twinkies; three vs the occasionally good seriously, I just used a racist word when I really meant "Guardians", and then three each vs the weak but improving ChiSox and also the

very bad Royals

And speaking of bad teams, we also have seven left vs the Marlins (3 in early August then 4 in late September) with all being at CitiField





Now if only we could be the phucking phillies!!

[G-Fafif]

All right, Matz, consider this first inning the second.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Whoa Matz had a 1-2-3 first inning

[MFS62]

Nelson Cruz is still playing?

I think I got his baseball card when I was 10 years old.

Matz getting Matzed

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Gzelly in. Needs a triple play

[G-Fafif]

Close!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ooh, mighta had one

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Avilan. I barely even know this guy.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Wears under armour sneaks

[Edgy MD]

How the devil have the Mets gotten through the last two innings with only one run scored?



Also, I have to say, these Twins are, like, mutant-big. Every one of them scares the shit out of me. I knew they hit a prodigious amount of homers, but it didn't occur to me that they'd all look like Pete Alonso's big brothers. They're like the Gashouse Gorillas.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Sure bring Fammy in. What could go wrong?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Cano could drop the force throw, he answered

[Edgy MD]

Oh, Canó, you lucky, lucky doggie.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The Bro-pen coming through tonight

[Edgy MD]

C'mon McNeil. Be the guy you were before you were traded to the SHaMs.

[Edgy MD]

Man, it hurts my back when I see Alonso lurch at that slider away below the knees.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ohforfucksake

[Guest 41Forever]

I give Cano credit. He doesn't just hit into your typical double play. He hits into ALL KINDS of double plays.

Thanks for the four hits, Conforto, but you could have stayed in the pickle for a moment or two.
