So John Maine has a pinched nerve info not previouslty released per Kevin Burkhardt and is looking at 2 rehab starts per Bob Ojeda.

Mets's Medical Staff-- Ministry of Disinformation

Anyway

LETS!

[Guest Kong76]

It's funny how in some sports and with some teams not fully disclosing
injuries, intentions, whatever, etc. it's heralded as keeping things close
to the vest and prudent not to show all your cards.

But, with many Mets' fans, especially online ones and radio heads ...
it's disinformation, not showing us the plan, pulling the wool over the
fan's eyes, and generally dicking Johnny Q Lunchpail.

Phils lost, Mets need to win today. Focus.

METS

I'd ax the medical staff. All of them-- doctors, trainers, masseuses. This is crazy.

[Guest Kong76]

Based on what, exactly?

Start a thread, let's discuss it.

[Guest Kong76]

I like the Old Bay seasoning ad behind home plate.

(hey, it's a slow IGT)

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm here to speed it up. So is Cora, apparently.

[Piggiestomatoes]

This game is the equivalent of ambien. Please, let's get something going!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Gracias, Carlos.

[Guest Edgy DC]

First and third. I deliver scoring opportunities.

Mets plate one. YAY!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Is there such a thing as a bad sac fly? Cora and Beltran get decent pitches to hit and deliver, then Wright swings at the first pitch.

[Guest Edgy DC]

There's no such thing as a bad run, except maybe a sacrifice fly in the ninth when you're down by more than one.

Certainly not tonight.

Big time hit by Churchie and we're tied.

[Guest Kong76]

Gotta love Livan getting through six with only two runs.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Livan's performed far better than I ever thought we'd get from him.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Cora, too.

[Guest Kong76]

MURPH

[Guest themetfairy]

RBI for Muffy!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

HUGE double for Murphy! And Cora's stolen base set that up for sure!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Oh no, something's up with Livan. Looks like he tweaked something.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Apparently just a little cramp or spasm or something. He's back at Jones and looks fine.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Melvin, I still root for you. But not tonight.

[Guest Edgy DC]

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Castillo saves the day with a lovely grab to his left, and Green whiffs TWiggy, and the mets have a skinny 1-run lead going into the ninth.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Frankie, come entertain us.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Not entertained, Frankie, with that lead-off double by the phenom.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Not a fan of putting the winning run on base. We've been down this road before.
