You wonder how many runs we left on the board by starting JD. So dumb.

Okay, they have a shot on Sunday. Then it's all hands on deck in Game 7.

[Centerfield]

You know. We have the starting pitching advantage the next two games.

[Fman99]

OK this game goes into the category of "fucking awesome." And on we go !

[The Hot Corner]

Thank you sir. Nicely done.

Winker didn't get to 2nd on a ball off the wall and Acuna doesn't score from 3rd on a GiDP ... and FOX never showed nor mentioned either.





Someone above said the pitcher looked Acuna back but, even so, that's a go on contact play IMO.

If they throw home you're almost certainly out but it kills the DP and you've still got a RiSP w/1 out.

If they opt for the DP instead then it's a free run.

And, hey, LAD might be so surprised that they eff up the play entirely.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets box score: 14 for 34, 12 R, 12 RBI, 5 BBs, 3 HBP, and, wait for it, ZERO Ks!!!

I'm used to two in the 1st inning alone.



See guys, good things happen when you make contact. For instance you just might win a game by six runs despite getting out-HR'd three to one.

Nice of Ryne Stanek to do an interview before loading all the amps onto the truck.

Hey, when Florida-Georgia Line has got a gig lined up down the Interstate a bit he's got to hop to it.

The show must go on!

He was on first when he checked in, and then burned ass to third on the next hit.

Hey, I wasn't justifying, just describing it. Rookie mistake. Talent of youth without wisdom of years.

Great morning to be a Mets fan

[Centerfield]

How was the mood in the stadium? I was wondering if it would be muted given the series score.
