Mariners!!



8-7 walk-off win!!

Wow Atlanta came back from down 6-1 in the 8th to take a 9th inning 7-6 lead, only to have Jansen blow the save in the 9th. That's some sexy business there

[Frayed Knot]

HOLY SHIT on the ATL/SEA game!!!



I wasn't connected live this afternoon so am just catching up now.



Braves, down 6-1, score one in the 8th then 5 in the 9th to take a one run lead due largely to a HR in each inning by the rookie Harris*. But then, with a chance to close out the game, Kenly Jansen, who's been an issue for them, goes:

GO, HR, line out, HR







* even though not called up until May, I think Harris is closing in on Pujols

Seattle takes 2 of 3 from Atlanta to help the Mets cause.

[Edgy MD]

Seattle took the Braves' best punch and won. That's great.



And if you need an American League girlfriend to root for, you can't do any better. They're loaded with ex-Mets, they have castoffs from other teams (and yes, that includes the Mets) playing like stars and picking each other up, they've been out of the post-season longer than any other team, and two years ago, a dozen or more cultists kept trying to convince me that the whole city had been burned to the ground by Black Lives Matter protestors and Antifa.
