Spoiler alert: I have been to the future and know how this one ends. An eighteen-run victory for the Mets, featuring fighting, ejections, and post-game tears and backstabbing in the Phillie clubhouse. Book it.

Hope you got back in time to put down a wager. Meanwhile, Beltran delivers a 405 foot fly out to right center field. He might miss New York, but he won't miss Citi Field.

It's a Bugs Bunny Bat-Around in the 1st inning!!!

[Guest themetfairy]

Who are these guys, and can we keep them?

6-0 Mets so far in the 2nd

[Frayed Knot]

I think we have an outside shot at taking this one.

[ashie62]

8-1 Good Guys..Yippee!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Don't say I didn't give you a chance to get in on the action.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, my crappy desktop computer, crappy ISP, and crappy mlb.com subscription have conspired to deliver me the SNY broadcast.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gary's calling Wright's PT a tedious process. I'm going through PT and I love it.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Is Rollins stat padding?

[bmfc1]

At least somebody in the Mets organization can hit a slam:

BuffaloBisons
GRAND SLAM! Valentino Pascucci belts the slam to put #Bisons up 5-3 in 5th.

[bmfc1]

A Reyes triple is a thing of beauty. Too bad Bill Webb sux so much that he won't let us see Jose joyously slide into third, instead showing us Thole trot toward the dugout.

[Guest sharpie]

When was the Mets' last three-triple game for any one player?

Doug Flynn, August 5, 1980 -- and no, I didn't have to look it up.

Yes, Flynn is the one and only - something many normal Met fans can recite.
It's when you come to the specific date where the true geeks separate themselves.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And no Mets opponent has ever had three triples in a game.

This is the seventh time that Jose Reyes has tripled twice in a game, and the third time this season.

He is now.

Congrats on the steals down 9-1 Rollins. You must be so proud, especially since you had to play today when Howard, Ruiz and Utley got the day off.

The Mets lost that one 11-5. Flynn grounded into a DP to end it and insisted it was his hardest hit ball of the day.

[Guest Edgy DC]

A lot of slumps busting today. Let's get Nick Evans a taste of this.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, a relief pitcher at-bat!

Yes! Put him in at 3B, move Tejada to SS, Turner to 2B and give Jose an inning off.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I was thinking right field.

Americans of a certain generation will always remember where they were on August 5, 1980.

[G-Fafif]

Oh, and Buchholz kind of sucks on an otherwise unsucky day.

[Frayed Knot]

Payback's a bitch Jimmy.

[G-Fafif]

LOLRollins.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ultrapleasant day at the ballpark with MeeMaw and the Littl'un. But for moments of agita in the middle and the end, and a bittersweet rerun of Saturday's three-minute midgame tribute to Gary Carter, t'was all smiles.

Y'know, but for the 40 percent of the crowd wearing red. I figured on an uptick, but... Jaysis.
