And if it wasn't for the fact that his batting slot will probably come up in the bottom half here, I'd have him pitch the 9th.
Terry won't, but I would.

WTG Rockin Doc!

Right on! (Though stop talking to yourself. It's creepy.)

Of course, I would have left Colón in.

Two of Dozier's homers were as a DH, so he needs three more to catch Davey Johnson and Rogers Hornsby for the record by a secondbaseman, but the Mets are doing their part in defending Davey's legacy.

He nonetheless has already caught Alfonso Soriano for the AL record.

This is about as stress free a save Familia can pick up. LGM!

[Ceetar]

I mean, sure, stretch out Reed and Familia a little bit so they're more ready to go deeper in the playoffs.

Gotta love inning-starting walks.

Just stick with pitchers when they're succeeding. It's not complicated at all.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Familia walks Mauer to start the inning. He must want to torment me.

Twins fans probably bitching that Mauer didn't swing. I hear that's what they do. Got 1 now though.

Sure it is. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

[Zvon]

86 slider with a dip

[Edgy MD]

Fine, it's hard to throw strikes, but why throw the breaking pitch in the dirt 3-2 with the tying run on deck? A walk is the same as a homer there.

But one of Davey's came as a PH so now he's back down to two.

I have to talk to myself, I'm the only one who listens to me.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Mets did their job by winning. Now we just wait for the results of the Cardinals/Giants game.

[Edgy MD]

Which can't go bad.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, today has to be labeled a good day. The Mets have already dropped their magic number on the Cardinals, and on the Giants, and one of those teams will lose another magic number point later tonight.

Going into last night's game, the most ABs against Bartolo by any Twin was the 13 by Kurt Suzuki.
Second most was manager Paul Molitor (10; 2-for-8 plus 2 walks). Monitor retired 18 years ago.

This. A thousand times.

WTF d'Arnaud.

[Centerfield]

Fun Fact:

The last two times I've gone to Citi, Reyes and Cabrera have gone back-to-back.
