The Circle of Qualls

[Edgy MD]

The company is not as elite as it was before Johan's no-hitter, thankfully, but Alex Rios has joined the Hall of the Frustrators.

"Qualls," not "quails," yes?

[Edgy MD]

Fixed. Typing is hard.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oddly, "Quails" works too, though. (Or, say, "ducksnorts." Or "bleeders.")

[Edgy MD]

Greg (of course, Greg) had a fantastic list of all the men (Quallses) who stood between Mets pitchers and history.

I have to say, that the wattage of electricity in the Metsophere seems shockingly low for the day after one of the four or five best pitched games in team history.

Maybe everyone's still stunned. Because that was, you know, stunning. He looked like Danny Almonte out there.

Seen a lot of blog posts go by and plenty of excitement from a small subset, but the Mets have low amperes right now. Especially given the Islanders, Rangers and Knicks.

I feel like Twitter has sped things up to the point where reflecting on stuff the next day is hopelessly late but at the same time, we over-examine stuff while it's happening.

Some. There's a lot of overreaction to the reactions to things. Specifically the (Yesterday's News)papers. But since it's universally accepted that Harvey was and is amazing, there wasn't a lot of "Did you see what so and so wrote?!?!?"

[G-Fafif]

Harvey has pitched seven times in 2013 and four times he's been outright sensational. By the fourth time -- no matter that it's the best start of his burgeoning career and one of the best starts you'll ever see -- I get the sense it's a little "...yeah?" in terms of reaction. It's fucking crazy, of course, but if he's not spoiling some elements of the hardcore then he's not quite surprising them anymore.

Plus Twitter.
