IGT, 2025-08-19, NYM@WAS — Mets Under Occupation

Edgy MD · August 19, 2025

The New York Mets, champions of Williamsport, head due south to Washington DC, where our fellow Americans live under an occupation while we somehow continue on.

As the Nationals sit comfortably in last place in the NL East, the Mets have released Paul Blackburn sometime between here and there, and they are apparently IL-ing Francisco Álvarez also.

I don't think identifying James Wood as a colored player is the way to go here. I mean, he is, but we don't do that sort of thing in 21st century America.

Remember also that the game times for this series are: 6:45, 6:45, 4:10 (T/W/T)

MFS62 · August 19, 2025

I just noticed the little figures that are appropriate next to the positions.

Nice job.

Edgy MD · August 19, 2025

First-ever MLB matchup of two Venezuelan managers.

I guess that isn't counting all the times Ozzie Guillen managed against himself. Ohhhhh!

ashie62 · August 19, 2025

Doh!

LGM

Lefty Specialist · August 19, 2025

Lefty Jr at the game tonight, rocking the Lindor jersey.

Champions of Williamsport?

Most people here thought that was the worst game ever. Either they never played LL or never had a boy that did.

BTW. Edgy I noticed you enjoyed the festivities.

Nimmo drives in lindor, 1-0

ashie62 · August 19, 2025

Just like that the Mets are up 5-0

ashie62 · August 19, 2025

Vientos has picked a great time to get hot

Frayed Knot · August 19, 2025

52 pitches thru 5 for Peterson.

I hope that by noting that I didn't jinx anything.

ashie62 · August 19, 2025

Baty bopper buggy player

kcmets · August 19, 2025

Baty BOMB!!!

Edgy MD · August 19, 2025

I dig any game where Baty and Vientos both homer.

I still want them both to be dudes, and I still think it can happen.

Edgy MD · August 19, 2025

I think Juan Soto may turn out to be a dude someday too.

ashie62 · August 19, 2025

Soto would be a big part of a successful stretch run

As long as you keep the bases cleared* for him ... amirite folks?

* 24th of his 31 HRs w/bases empty

ashie62 · August 19, 2025

That might change

Peterson for a shutout?

Lefty Specialist · August 19, 2025

Lefty Jr has agreed to attend every Met game for the rest of the year.

Edgy MD · August 19, 2025

So much for the second-career shutout.

But I will take the double-play.

ashie62 · August 19, 2025

Stanek on to put it in the books

Later tonight Reds at Angels Hunter Greene vs Kyle Hendricks

ashie62 · August 19, 2025

Yeah!

Before my bedtime even

MFS62 · August 19, 2025

I think that I can be convinced that Stanek can be trusted to protect a seven run lead for one inning. Still not certain, though.

Later

Frayed Knot · August 19, 2025

Three wins in a row!! Which brings our total wins in August up to ... five

Lefty Specialist · August 19, 2025

Speaking of occupation, Lefty Jr reports that there were indeed unidentified armed and masked military thugs outside the park tonight. 'Murica!

Edgy MD · August 19, 2025

I ask my friends in DC to report on what is going on in our old neighborhood (very Salvadoran-American and highly concentrated with homelessness services) and they say they can only speak to me in person or on Signal ... which is chilling as fuck.

Edgy MD · August 19, 2025

And yeah, sorry-ish to ruin a perfectly lovely IGT, but I just found out that at least seven parishioners from my former parish have been taken into custody.

Gross.

We noticed, at least early on, that there were a surprising number of empty seats down front. I wondered if this was a factor in that.

Lefty Specialist · August 20, 2025

No, it's more that the Nats just suck. He said it was about a 50-50 split Mets/Nats fans.

He'll be back there Thursday afternoon for more authoritarian hijinx.

Frayed Knot · August 20, 2025

Yeah, those front row seats, like they are in every stadium, are for the rich and/or well-connected.

The biggest difference here is that no one knows how to distance themselves from a loser like the well-connected D.C. crowd.
