Hosting the Yankees should always be combined with toasting the Yankees.



Righty Luís Gil is the guy the Mets aim to light up. Lefty Sean Manaea defends for the homeboys.





jump ahead to about 1:10 to get past the pointless prologue.

I played that cassette to death in 1984, let me tell you

[Edgy MD]

Sorry, Don Baylor, but home-field rules keep the DH out of the lineup. You should just be happy that you don't have to see Rusty Staub for more than one plate appearance tonight.



I'm tempted to gloat, but Mookie is apparently out of the lineup tonight, and that damned boy-genius Johnson won't give up on Jerry Martin, and has old buddy batting leadoff.

[MFS62]

They're gonna' have a lot of passed balls with no catcher (and two centerfielders).

Later

[kcmets]

The Mets lineup for this evening...



Francisco Lindor (S) SS

Brandon Nimmo (L) LF

J.D. Martinez ® DH

Pete Alonso ® 1B

Francisco Alvarez ® C

Tyrone Taylor ® RF

Mark Vientos ® 3B

Jeff McNeil (L) 2B

Harrison Bader ® CF

[Edgy MD]

Same lineup as yesterday. Mendoza don't wanna rock the boat.

[kcmets]

Didn't notice, did I cut and paste the wrong players?

[Edgy MD]

Nope. Just happens to be the same starting lineup, excepting the pitcher, of course.

[Edgy MD]

Mets a game below .500 and a game and a half out of the last Wild Card spot.



And when they're rockin' on the mic, you should all applaud!

[metirish]

Let's see what the weather does , definitely going to rain hard

[Edgy MD]

Rain hasn't hit us here Balmer yet.

[ashie62]

If Citi is going to get splashed Im guessing around 9pm



This is the get to .500 game



I expect Vientos to homer tonight

[ashie62]

Vientos future all star

[Edgy MD]

Terrific start.

[Edgy MD]

Gleyber Torres getting the day off that probably should have started halfway through last night's game.

[ashie62]

Walks kill

[metirish]

Fucks sake ,Sean

[Edgy MD]

Three walks in the first inning is not a good personal signature, Sean.

[ashie62]

WOW

[Frayed Knot]

So it's going to be that kind of night again, eh?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

That was pretty hardcore

[Edgy MD]

One million consecutive leadoff doubles.

[ashie62]

Lindor would likely have scored from third on Pete's flyball

[ashie62]

The translator covers his mouth also

[Edgy MD]

When did Álvarez acquire the best batting eye on the team?

[ashie62]

Ughhhh



This is going to turn into a shootout though

[Edgy MD]

YANKEE FANS: "This sucks! They totally waste their opportunities!"



METS FANS: "This sucks! They totally waste their opportunities!"



YANKEE FANS: "Shut up!"



METS FANS: "No, you shut up!"

[Edgy MD]

Michael Mays = good interview.



It's impressive that he's been able to do this media blitz while mourning.

[Frayed Knot]

This game a some similarities to one from June of '18, a Sunday Night game which I was watching in a hospital room.



The Yanx were then starting a young, relatively unknown, starter who, while not a rookie, was in the midst of a break-out season that would end up getting him 3rd in CY voting. Going into the game he was 9-1, 2.20 in 13 starts.

Mets won that one 2-0 on a 5th inning 2R HR by Todd Frazier as starter Seth Lugo (6 inn), Robert Gsellman (2) and Anthony Swarzak (1) shut out the Yanx on 3 hits.



The Yanqui starter that night? Luis Severino.

[ashie62]

JD Martinez thank you!



1-0 Mets
