I was gonna check out, but I have a feeling the 2022 Mets

are about to return and make this a ballgame.

[seawolf17]

This game ain't over until WE DECIDE IT IS!

[Edgy MD]

Man, all the arm Harris showed earlier is lacking in Rosario. Didn't even fire it in.

[nymr83]

Darin Ruf joining Vogelbauch and Naquin in making sportswriters and fans everywhere look foolish for bashing the Mets trade deadline approach.

But, the catcher position is still an automatic out.

Buck should have literally taken the bat out of Nido's hands with the count at 2-0.

[seawolf17]

Yeah, as soon as I saw Nido at the plate I was like BLARGH.

[Edgy MD]

Now that I've seen Rosario's arm, I want the Mets to hit it to him all night and all day tomorrow.



Buck still has Cahna on the bench.

[Frayed Knot]

Got a good inning out of Joely.

Would be a crime to waste that!

[seawolf17]

Gotta hold back and use Canha in the seventh to PH for Nido as the tying run.

[Edgy MD]

Joely, Joely, looks good on the telly

Paintiing the corner like he's Botticelli

[Frayed Knot]

OK with me, Colin McQ, if you want to bring the tying run to the plate.

[Edgy MD]

Loving the atmosphere here. This is the Grand Slam Single Game without the rain.



Buck burning his bench down to the backup catcher in the sixth. I don't know AL strategizing that well, but that's kind of balls-out.

[Edgy MD]

No, Mark, he got you with that one.

[kcmets]

Pretty lame AB by pinch-hitting Canha.

[Frayed Knot]

More LOBsters, but, oddly, still a lot of time left.

And the Braves haven't scored since the 2nd.

[seawolf17]

The hell was that crazy editing on SNY after the Pete near-beaning?

For those who missed it.

He can't get the win. He only pitched 4 2/3 innings.

Now, let's go win this thing.

Mychel not Given me a lot of reason for optimism.

Yes. As per the time stamp, I wrote that at 9:12 PM, while he was still in the game.

[Edgy MD]

A.J. Minter is my favorite Phillip Seymour-Hoffman character.

[Edgy MD]

Whatever noise the Mets have left to make, best to make it before Kenley Jansen comes in.

[seawolf17]

They'll get Iglesias first, who's no slouch himself.

[Frayed Knot]

So, if nothing else we'll force them to use both Iglesies and Jansen in advance of tomorrow's DP.

They're going to turn a DP tomorrow? Which inning?

[Edgy MD]

More power to Tommy Hunter.

Neato concurs.

[nymr83]

Nido just told me to STFU

I'm keeping that a secret for the time being.



Now, imagine if we force them to use both Iglesies and Jansen AND we get to one or both.
