[bIGPURPLE] ALVAREZ BOOM[/bIGPURPLE]

[Frayed Knot]

Take note ESPN (and FOX), it turns out that you CAN interview a manager and still show the game at the same time!!

Somebody please pass along the word to the folks in Bristol.

[Frayed Knot]

Vientos still doesn't look particularly smooth or graceful in the field ... but he's increasingly turning more tough plays into outs and making fewer E's at the same time.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Lol yankees

[Edgy MD]

Those raindrops are the size of tomatoes.

[MFS62]

Alvarez hits the ball so hard he brings rain.

Later

[Frayed Knot]

I like watching baseball ... but I'll take this win any way I can get it.

[Edgy MD]

The league's top starters have really brought out the best from this latter-day version of the Mets. The Yankees couldn't have lined up their rotation any better for this series, but alas.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Game got better after the break

[Frayed Knot]

We've really got to stop walking guys in front of Judge.





... and I actually typed that just one pitch prior to him smacking the snot out of that pitch.

[Edgy MD]

This pitch-Ottavino-every-day-until-he-works-his-shit-out strategy is interesting.

I take back what I said.

[Edgy MD]

Ben Rice looks about 15.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Seriously, this is great

[Frayed Knot]

A 10-2 lead.

That's pretty safe, right?

[Edgy MD]

I don't think I've seen a pitch yet from Yoendrys Gómez that has had a Met fooled.



That homer just now from Taylor seemed to be just a matter of time.



Say what you will about the Mets' pen, but ... .

[Bob Alpacadaca]

This is a good game so far.

[Frayed Knot]

All right, I'm out.

So if this game gets blown I'm going to hold one of you folks responsible.

[Lefty Specialist]

Who are these guys and what have they done with the Mets?

[Edgy MD]

Let's see if we get to ring the Adcock Bell.

[Edgy MD]

I'm thinking that these Yankees lead the league in bling.

[Edgy MD]

I was looking for an Adcock sighting, but I've instead stumbled into a Gamel encounter!

[Edgy MD]

Super save!!

[Fman99]

Enjoyed the post rain delay highlights that I just caught up on. Sorry but I can't survive a 90 minute weeknight break in the action.

11-2 in the Grimace Era.

[Edgy MD]

Mets are at .500. (Their season high is two games over.)



They've also put some distance between themselves and much of the cluster. They were behind the Cubs, for instance, heading into the series at Wrigley, and now are up on them by 3 1/2 games.



St. Louis and San Diego both won also last night, so the Mets sit a game and a half behind both the second and third Wild Card spots.

[G-Fafif]

Season high: 4 games over (12-8).

[Edgy MD]

I am corrected!

[Cowtipper]

Catching up on some games.



What a rout!!!
