Mets (McLean) vs White Sox (Newcomb): 08/23/26, 2:10 PM

[Edgy MD]

Let's go!

[Edgy MD]

Flagellum.

[Lefty Specialist]

Foof.  Setting themselves up for the nut-crushing loss.

[Lefty Specialist]

Nuts crushed.

[metirish]

Well that sucks 

[Edgy MD]

Ouch.  So much crushing.

[Frayed Knot]

They all count but, between the Benge face-plant HR plus the two walk-offs, those three HRs made it over the fence by a combined negative eight inches.

Dozed off, I guess for the best. Mets are better than this, the White Sox really are not.

Off day tomorrow to refresh, regroup and rock 'n roll....

[Centerfield]

If the Mets were competitive this would have been a frustrating weekend. I’m sad they got to Senga though. 

[Lefty Specialist]

So I'm pointlessly wondering.  Does Luis Robert make that catch?  He knows the park well and is a competent outfielder with speed.  And he's 4 inches taller than AJ Ewing.

 

Like I said, pointlessly wondering.

Are we shit again? We're shit again. Damn, we were so close to putting it all together while at the same time being SO FAR AWAY from putting it all together.

Guess we'll have to finish the season 28-3 or whatever.

[whippoorwill]

It could happen

I didn't see this brawl at all! But I was in the lower bowl. I don't like the upper deck at Rate Field. Way too steep. 

[The Hot Corner]

Sadly, we have all witnessed this kind of gut punch loss far too often.  It comes with being a Mets fan.

Or maybe we needed Nimmo to do it. He prevented more HRs at Rate Field than Ewing and Benge put together.
