Someone's got to win ... right? Mets @ Angles IGT (5/1/26)

[Frayed Knot]

The Angles, 12-20 on the season, losers of 10 of their last 11 and coming off a sweep at the hands of the frggin' White Sox, play host to the 10-21 Mets  -- losers of, well a lot, but it's too depressing for me to count -- for the weekend. 9:38 is the scheduled first pitch time for youse east-coasters which, just a few years ago, meant a probable final pitch time sliding towards One AM, but now it might even sneak in just prior to the witching hour.

Nolan McLean gets the start as he continues his quest to see how many games he can lose (or, at least, not win) with a sub-3.00 ERA, aka: the Jacob deGrom award. Reid Detmers, a LH 1st round draft pick (10th overall in 2020 out of U. of Louisville) takes the hill for LAA. Currently 1-2; 4.48; 1.09 WHIP

Prediction: (to quote the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughn) the forecast calls for pain

I have a 7-9 PM gig so this game should be getting going right around the time I get home.  We'll see how long it holds my attention.

Ooh. Helping the kiddo move out of his apartment for the summer this afternoon but we'll have two cars. Maybe I'll swing by if we're done in time and sit in with the band for a song or two.
