The new stadium name comes from a seating chart observation on another easy to find thread

The German team name comes from, you guess it, another easy to find thread

Ashie ist Deutsch und Gehen sie Mets!

Five games under .500 is our high water mark since the losing streak. We hit that May 18 when we won the extra inning game in Washington. Since then the closest we’ve come is 7 games. 
 

We sit 7 games under today. This will be our 7 chance to get back to 6 games under (we lost the prior 6). Today we face the second best pitcher in MLB. And he throws with his left hand. 
 

The good news is, since his scoreless streak ended, he’s given up 1 run, then 2 runs, then 4 runs. So he’s clearly on the decline. 

Need Freddy to step up today.

It'll also be a charm if Vientos and/or Alvarez could bring one or both of their best today.

I'm just saying that I slid Peralta out of my fantasy starting lineup today. I'm not cahnfident on this one.

If we’re looking for positives, the Phillies offense hasn’t been much better than the Mets (27th in MLB) and worse than the Mets in May and June. 
 

Maybe we’re 0-0 going into the late innings and the bullpens decide it.
