[bIGPURPLE]LETS GO METS [/bIGPURPLE]

[Frayed Knot]

Well if we're going to rev ourselves up by having this much purple floating around ...

Nice to see Lindor leading off without the sun in his eyes.

[Edgy MD]

Sorry.



[bIGPURPLE]Nice to see Lindor leading off without the sun in his eyes.[/bIGPURPLE]

[Edgy MD]

[bIGPURPLE]Wow. A double off the pillow![/bIGPURPLE]

[Frayed Knot]

Got two breaks that inning: Nimmo's non-called strike three and the pillow double

That said, we also failed to make our own breaks by failing twice to get a ball out of the infield w/RiSP



Getting a little tired of thinking, 'yeah we left runs out there ... but at least we made the pitcher throw a lot of pitches.

Can I do normal-sized purple? My throat is starting to hurt.

[bIGPURPLE]No, normal-sized purple is not an option this evening.[/bIGPURPLE]

[The Hot Corner]

[bIGPURPLE]I prefer big Mets Blue lettering.[/bIGPURPLE]



[bIGPURPLE]Maybe the big purple letters will help revive the Grimace era. So I'm in.[/bIGPURPLE]

[bIGPURPLE]WINKER CAN CATCH!!![/bIGPURPLE]

[bIGPURPLE]Big Purple Catch by Winky![/bIGPURPLE]

[Edgy MD]

[bIGPURPLE]MANNY CAN'T CATCH!!![/bIGPURPLE]

[Frayed Knot]

Gotta admit, I like it when Machado messes up and/or has bad stuff happen to him, more so than with most opposing players.

[Edgy MD]

[bIGPURPLE]McNeil looked that pitch right into his elbow guard.[/bIGPURPLE]

[Edgy MD]

[bIGPURPLE]I CANNOT TYPE BIG ENOUGH NOR PURPLE ENOUGH TO CELEBRATE THAT GRAND SALAMI!!!![/bIGPURPLE]

[The Hot Corner]

[bIGPURPLE]LINDOR!!! Grand Salami!!!![/bIGPURPLE]

[kcmets]

[bIGPURPLE]We need bigger purple NOW!!![/bIGPURPLE]

[Bob Alpacadaca]

You can't spell Lindor without MVP!



Technically you can. But don't!



MVPLindor!

[Frayed Knot]

Didn't leave runners stranded w/2 outs during THAT inning.

And that it further rubs salt into the Machado wound makes things that much sweeter.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, any coincidence that we seem to be using 'Grimace' purple in this thread?!?







Marte seems more sure of himself defensively since his most recent return.

I called him a defensive liability in a thread earlier this season but, right now anyway, he doesn't look like it.

[Edgy MD]

[bIGPURPLE]We need bigger purple NOW!!![/bIGPURPLE]

[bIGPURPLE]He's on the way![/bIGPURPLE]
