Time to turn up the SHaMometer and start cookin'!!

[ashie62]

Casu Marzu cheese will be near the rubber for Peterson tonight



Casu Marzu is a cheese made in Sardinia. The name translates to "rotten cheese"



It is flavored with maggots and other live larvae. It is said you need to eat the cheese while the maggots and larvae are still alive. The opposite of what I would have thought



If Francisco calls for high cheese tonight a dose of Casu Marzu is on the way

If I tune in at all it will be to see what Baltimore is about, but I'll likely watch PBS News hour

[kcmets]

I have a rather open-mindedness to trying new foods but I have to say

that I'll take a solid pass on sheep cheese with live maggots and larvae.

Cooperstown Cheese of Milford NY had 1400 pounds of cheese recalled a couple of weeks ago.



The "Jersey Girl" brand was dosed with Listeria



Fun with cheese

[kcmets]

Nimmo's quad is feeling better.

[G-Fafif]

Araúz goes to Syracuse to clear space for Marte.

[Frayed Knot]

With two outs and your power hitter up Francisco ... Really?!?!!??

[Frayed Knot]

A(nother) play not made forces Peterson to throw 9 or 10 extra pitches, but he does a nice job getting out of early trouble.

[ashie62]

Baltimore unis look like the ones at U of Maryland



Black with alot going on

Keith Raad: "I'll never understand running onto the field. You cannot win."



It's called beer, Keith.

[ashie62]

What happened to Peterson?



Is he hurt?

[nymr83]

How much of it is education? There was certainly a time in many cities when - as long as you weren't an ass about it and went willingly - you'd simply be escorted out of the stadium with no other consequences

[kcmets]

Shea had a jail, so does Citi haha...

[Edgy MD]

What happened to Peterson? Is he hurt?

I don't think so. I believe it's just one of those latter-day practices that, if a pitcher, even a career-long starter, has been pitching out of the bullpen of late, upon joining the rotation, he is drastically reduced in the number of pitches he is permitted to throw until he is "stretched" by gradually increasing his limit.



I'm not a fan.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets have now scored in four of their last 33 innings.

And now, because they have two runners on, odds are the streak will stretch to 34.

[Edgy MD]

Two on and the alleged best hitters coming up. The Mets' best scoring opportunity at hand.

[Edgy MD]

Bezes now bloated.



Baltimore stays with their twirler.

Oh, man, I hope you didn't place a bet with FanDuel!

[Frayed Knot]

I'm surprised Alvarez was able to cruise into 3rd uncontested. Mountcastle seemed to give up early on that one even though the throw would have been short and his momentum leading him in the right direction.

[nymr83]

Ah, a double play, back to business as usual.

And even here, as they score for just the second time in the last 24 innings, it took a pitcher falling apart (and a slow hook) issuing three straight BBs and then their #3 & #4 hitters go weak contact and weak contact.



Fortunately in this case, the well-placed weak bloop came before the GIDP weak grounder.

[Edgy MD]

Am I crazy or am I hearing something like the Atlanta Braves tomahawk chant at Orioles Stadium?

[Edgy MD]

Wow, I knew if the Mets were patient enough, James McCann's offense would come around.

[Frayed Knot]

Both a hesitation from Lindor before throwing and then a bit of a balloon throw considering how short a throw it was.



It like he either didn't expect the runner to go or he assumed he already had and there was no play.

[Edgy MD]

Man, I'm getting a ride home tonight from James McCann. Everything is going right for that guy.
