Land-o-Lakes!

[Edgy MD]

Oh, glub. That 2-2 pitch was a strike.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yikes

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Books! That was Minnesota nice

[Edgy MD]

I think I pooped.

[bmfc1]

YES!

[Guest 41Forever]

I confess I was a little worried.

[Frayed Knot]

PUT IT IN THE BASKET!!

Frazier did

[Edgy MD]

And we still have Mazza and Rhame with fresh arms for tomorrow!

Tomorrow? Try 'in a few hours'.



I was so afraid Diaz was going to walk the tying run in there.

It wound up as less than the greatest closing job ever, but at least he made the Twinkie batters earn their runners.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I kinda forgive his struggle given the interupted at bat and weak grounder, bit yeah I was convinced he would walk in the tying run

[Centerfield]

That was crazy. He didn't throw one good slider that whole inning.



Pretty obvious that this was a guy who had a live, moving fastball and a wipeout slider, and now he's just left with his fastball.

[Vic Sage]

i no longer watch the last inning of games, unless we're losing. If we're ahead in the 8th or 9th, and the bullpen is coming in, i change the channel. The satisfaction of seeing them complete a victory is greatly outweighed by the torture of seeing them collapse.

The Mets beat a helluva good team, but how many times did the bounces go the Mets' way in this one? The Conforto dribbler for the go-ahead RBI, Canó not getting called for the drop at second (probably the right call, but it could have gone either way), the Mach-2 screamer into Alonso's glove, the Mach-2 screamer into Frazier's glov, etc. Lugo was the best I've seen him in a while, but to a large extent, the bullpen was just getting the breaks. Matz' was, too, come to think of it.



The play of the game might have been Frazier fielding that infield hit in the ninth, and not making a throw.



Also, that double off the wall where the throw went to second and Rosario wasn't there covering? What the hell?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yup to allathat. But guess what? Twins didn't play like a first-place team either and got what they deserved

[TransMonk]

I saw the Raconteurs in Milwaukee on Sunday. I believe White is a Tigers fan, so maybe he was rooting for the Mets?

[kcmets]

They caught my eye early on but then disappeared, so I forgot about it.

Knew they were 'someone.' haha

[Edgy MD]

Is that writstband saying, "This guy has been carded and is OK to drink" or "This guy was admitted to the emergency room at St. Luke's, treated for dehydration, and released"?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

New Racontuers album is... pretty good, I guess.
