Sixteen straight batters retired -- change pitchers -- three of the next seven retired.

Why would you pull Megill. Just mind boggling.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Little league rally

[Frayed Knot]

A mighty blow by Alvarez!!!!

[Edgy MD]

Eddy Alvarez skates into his Mets debut!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Eddie Alvarez Fever... Catch It!

[Frayed Knot]

Can this be any more of a NYM bases-loaded but not hitting rally?

[Edgy MD]

Alvarez skates home!



Who needs RBIs to score?!

[Frayed Knot]

Alonso goes down swinging on the exact same three pitches ... and wasn't anywhere close to any of them.

Worst two run rally of all time.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Good work by Mendy there. 2 pinch runners scored, pinch hitter started the rally

Let's review: Walk - Dribbler + Error - Walk - WP ® - K - PB ® - F8 - SB - K

[Fman99]

Ryan Stanek, in between meth deals, mowing down opponents

[Frayed Knot]

Now that was impressive!

[Edgy MD]

I'm starting to feel bad how I keep forgetting Ryne Stanek is on the team until he shows up on the mound.

[Edgy MD]

I might have kept Alvarez in the game to replace Nimmo in left. It keeps your versatile guy available if somebody gets hurt.

You'd lose a potential Nimmo AB if it goes to the 10th. He'd be no further than the 5th hitter in that inning.

Here comes Diaz to raise our blood pressure.

[Cowtipper]

My blood pressure remains stable.

[Cowtipper]

Gary is sounding extra Kermit-y tonight.

Books

[Cowtipper]

See? Told you. Blood pressure. It's never easy with Diaz. If this is what we have to rely on in October to shut down games, we won't be going deep into October.

[Frayed Knot]

I

thought

that

was

out

[Cowtipper]

Magic number to lock up that Wild Card spot down to 18 with 18 games to play. I keep saying "second Wild Card spot" because I keep forgetting they watered down the playoffs even more by adding a third one.

[Edgy MD]

I missed that entire bottom of the ninth with an Internet outage.



Was it awesome? I bet it was awesome.

It's never easy with anybody. At all.



Blood pressure is part of the package. It always has been.

[Edgy MD]

"This guy"?

I had somehow expected a larger Mets contingent at the game as we ran into others in town who were headed there - but in our section there were very few. That being said, the Torontonians were as polite as could be. In the second inning the dome opened so we got both closed and opened experiences. A couple of weeks ago the notion that Tylor Megill and Ryne Stanek would be players of the game would have seemed delusional but good for them. A nice ballpark, a lovely city - good museums, good food, super walkable.
