I was pessimistic about Game One. And the Mets won.



I was optimistic about Game Two. And the Mets lost.



And now I'm pessimistic about Game Three.



I hope the pattern holds.

Exactly this.

Pete is going to have a huge game tonight













I'm trying to manifest it

[AIMrMet]

My prediction? Quintana, pony-up, ol' chap! Check this - Jose (no love lost for da Bronx, aye) mows down hitters like the lawnmower man after four too many of these delightful creatures called Flail Ale Pail - yeesh, nothing small or mellow 'bout this Hoppy Horror Show, I tell ya. The beer probably swings harder than Tyson in his prime, and Quintana? Boy's gonna toss fire, send those lovely 'baseball thingies' whizzing past the Griffin nuggets' faces streaking blue and orange, like my vomit after too much of this giddy beer drink.



Talking about homers, let my lad, Pete Alonso - ultra-omega-power slugger, show one or two how to fly. Mark my intoxicated babble, Petey's gonna smash one into the Cohen-lit night - chased by as many of these paradise-on-earth-and-never-mind-the-hangover beer chuggers - injecting pure unfiltered joy into the Mets holly-jolly. Oh, damn, even thinking about it makes more sense than the antlers on this royal deer whose namesake is this hop citrus bombshell beer. That's big Pete - like this pondering pint I'm tarting up, Brand Departed Beer of Lost Souls.

Same here

[Methead]

I'll be driving to northern VA this evening, but hopefully the audacy app won't fail me in the car.

[ashie62]

This game may largely come down to Quintana as the bullpen is very taxed



Pete Alonso swing away tonight, the Mets need you and your Mets career possibly ending on with an empty stat sheet is just sad

[Centerfield]

59.3% chance the Brewers win according to ESPN.



I think this sounds about right.

[ashie62]

And in line with the Brewers being a -120 favorite

Quintana LHP (10-10, 3.75)

LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOO

[Edgy MD]

Waddaya think of the lineup juggle?



Iglesias back down to fifth. Does his awesome batting average but only meh power help Alonso see more strikes? Does it matter? Does the vote of confidence of bumping Alonso back up to cleanup matter?



It's guesswork, especially over the short haul, but I want, like, 19 runs.

[whippoorwill]

How can Alonso see any more strikes? Holy cow he's a strikeout machine

[Edgy MD]

Perhaps, but often many of those strikeouts come from chasing balls outside of the zone.



That isn't to say that he didn't miss a 3-1 (?) fastball right down the middle yesterday, because he did, but it would be better if he got two of those than one, and better still if he got three.

[kcmets]

T-minus one hour to lift off!

[Cowtipper]

I predict a 7-5 win, Mets.



Jose Quintana in September: 0.72 ERA, .177 OBA

Tobias Myers in September: 3.03 ERA, .274 OBA



At the moment, I'd say Quintana has the momentum. Myers' recent elevated OBA shows he is hittable.

[Centerfield]

Remember how I said the postseason was all a bonus and we're playing with house money?



Trying very hard to channel those feelings right now.

[ashie62]

Very true

[Lefty Specialist]

They need to score early and not let up. No tripping over bats. Turn all the double plays. Keep their fast guys off base.



Play a tight defense and Alonso, get off your ass and into the game.

[Fman99]

Having a throbbing erection due to nervousness is normal, right? Asking for my cat

[Edgy MD]

Gary Sanchez hitting fifth and catching?



We can exploit this, can we not?

[ashie62]

Mets lineup looks like it got a chin lift

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

We got this!

[Lefty Specialist]

I'm ready.
