I can't look anymore. It's like watching a multi-decapitation car-crash with heads rolling all across the highway.

Watching the Mets games of late is like some kind of Macabre Theater. It's really not fun to watch.



I'm going to need more than one to sit through another game.

Keep 'em coming! Three will get me through the pre-game for now...

[Centerfield]

I know I said this yesterday. But I think we win today. Less confident than yesterday though.



I don't know anything about their pitcher, but he has good numbers.



How is it that every team has good pitchers but us.

[ashie62]

Better chance the Mets win than the Jets

[Edgy MD]

If you pull pitchers after 70 pitches when they are shutting out the opposition, you are going to want for good pitching.

[ashie62]

Just hoping Nolan throws enough strikes

[kcmets]

We're the squanderers, yeah the squanderers

We squander round and round and round

[ashie62]

Yes they are



Nolan avoids injury late covering 1st base

[roger_that]

I read that never before has a team gone 4-0 in the first inning then gone hitless for the rest of the game.



Don't know if it's true, but I believe it. First time in 249 years a team has screwed that particular pooch.

[ashie62]

Cmon Lindor

[The Hot Corner]

Bases loaded for Soto with 2 outs. Time for the big hit.

[Edgy MD]

I am pretty sure neither Ron nor Gary (nor Keith, for that matter) know what a rhombus is.



And I think Ron also confused geometry and geography.

Or not.

Sproat and McLean have been terrific this weekend but that's only one element to winning a game

[ashie62]

McLean into the 5th



Mets offense is still at the train station

[Edgy MD]

A party of about 100 fans in right field cheering to the camera and waving Dominican flags.



Brave folks.

[The Hot Corner]

McLean has thrown 5 innings of shut out ball on 82 pitches. Going by Mendoza's usual usage of starting pitchers, I expect him to come out for the 6th inning and be removed should he allow a base runner.

[kcmets]

AlvaSLIDE!!!

I would hope not but Mendoza is not likely to change his approach

[The Hot Corner]

That play should never have been that close. Telez made a nice play, but Alvarez was getting a miniscule lead from 3rd and hesitated (one step then stopped) before breaking for home. Alvarez should have been off third as much as the 3B Jung was, but he was hovering near the bag like someone was holding him on. Rather fortunate to get the one run.

[Edgy MD]

Less-than-stellar footwork by Rowdy, tagging the base with his back foot.



Good throw, though.

Yeah, the stubborn-ness that leads a manager to double down comes from the desire to move blame for yesterday away from himself.



But he doesn't have a fresh Diaz today.

[Edgy MD]

Biggest double play in about three weeks.

[kcmets]

Nimm BOOM Bah!!!
