[Edgy MD]

Brewers, Brewers, if you're able
Call the pen for Corey Knaeble
I'm about to cut my cable
If you sweep us with a broom.

There's a lot of folks who aren't the same fans they were five days ago.

Just your customary late-game stellar Met infield defense. No big whoop.

[Frayed Knot]

HUGE DP for a number of reasons - not the least of which was that the pitcher's spot leads off meaning that they'd have had to double switch if Familia was needed in the 8th meaning probably Ceciliani being pulled for Lagares and then you couldn't simply bring Lagares in in the 9th for either Cuddyer or Granderson instead.

Two down!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Oh, cool. THAT'S what winning is like! Been a while.

[ashie62]

Why did our soon ex-manager pull deGrom?

[Edgy MD]

He didn't.

[Ceetar]

falling asleep on a day game in bed. I think that's a new one for me.

Lol at the ESPN headline.....

Jake makes Brewers hitters look like ... Mets

They should stick to sports they know. Baseball isn't one of them.
Betcha' they're going absolutely orgasmic about the NBA draft.

I'm giving you raspberries over the interwebs.

For those who want to know, the Hot Dog won the sausage race.

I'm hoping the crucible of pitching with little-to-no margin for error is making men out of these young pitchers.

I get the idea � from last season as well as this one � that it's terribly unhealthy for Colon. That if he knows the team can give him some support, he can stay around the plate, give up 1-3 runs, pitch deep into the game, and the offense and the bullpen can pick him up. But if he loses faith in his offense/defense/bullpen, and knows he's got to hold the other team to 0-1 runs, he ends up trying to be too fine, working against his strength, and giving up seven.

They'll trade him, I'm rooting for him to have a couple
more nice (I hate quality) starts and buhbye...

My fear is that he's all done and his next few starts make him worthless.

nah, he had some clunkers last year too and then rounded out again. I suspect there's some combination of tight umpire strike zones and being just a bit off that he can't deal with. (much the same with Gee actually)

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure if we're talking about Niese or Colon here.
