nope, Reyes at short, Flores at third, Loney at first.

Cabrera was scratched. He'll become a werewolf at next full moon.

deGrom tiptoes through a minefield in the first, though it takes him 20-some-odd pitches to do so.

[ashie62]

I believe Stanton is copying Yo Yos arm legging but in Marlins color.

I really wanted the Mets to get Cespedes last season. Love watching him.

[Guest d'Kong76]

TV booth says Cabrera scratched due to no sleep last night. He
has an ill family member and it kept him up.

[Edgy MD]

Me too (a shih tzu), but I'm here!

I mean, I'm here watching a game, but I'm here!

[Zvon]

Ha. WILMAAAAAAAABOOM!

1-0 Mets

Wilmer: Don't bury me cuz I'm not dead yet

Wilmer: Don't bury me cuz I'm not dead yet

I couldn't find my Python "Bring out the dead!" gif, but I was able to find this.


deGrom has issued
two silly walks and it's
only the 3rd frame...

[Frayed Knot]

I was going for the Elvis reference.

Interesting tidbit from Howie and Josh: during negotiations for the trade that brought Nicolino, among others, to the Fish (and Reyes, among others, to the Jays), the Jays reportedly offered Marlins management their choice of three single-A prospects; aside from Nicolino (whom they felt was the most polished of the three), they could have had Aaron Sanchez (9-1, 2.94 ERA/1.18 WHIP this season) or... Noah Syndergaard.

I like


Reyes first comeback hit is a double. He and deGrom score on a Grandy line single.

3-0 Mets after 3

[Frayed Knot]

Will get the measurement on that one once it comes down.
Check back later.

3-1

Crap. I'm not totally here. Missed the StantonBOOM.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Floresboom ll!

[Lefty Specialist]

I think Wilmer needs to be threatened in some way on a daily basis, because that's when he performs best.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

OK, who is that guy and what have they done with Wilmer!

[Benjamin Grimm]

If he slumps again, put a Milwaukee Brewers uniform in his locker.

[Edgy MD]

Granderson driving in somebody besides himself is a treat also.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Jose with two doubles today!

Subtle. I like it.

[Lefty Specialist]

With the bases empty he homers twice, but with the bases loaded he hits into a double play. Gah.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

All in favor of issuing Stanton an intentional walk for every at-bat left in the series?
