Thirteen Years of Schaefer

[G-Fafif]

NEW YORK -- F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company has announced plans to expand its flagship Crane Pool brewery in response to demand for more points stemming from the Mets' 14-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on July 14. "The Mets generated 19 hits, while starting pitcher Jacob deGrom gave up only four over eight innings while striking out 11," said a brewery spokesman. "Factor in deGrom's two hits at the plate, and he's in position for Player of the Game honors."

The problem -- "and it's a pleasant one," the spokesman stressed -- was deGrom's excellence represented just one of several landmark performances. "You've got Cespedes with four hits and that throw to the plate. You've got Conforto with a three-run homer, [T.J.] Rivera with two hits, a homer and three RBIs, Cabrera with three ribeye steaks, Reyes going 3-for-5 and scoring three runs, Duda having a big night and even d'Arnaud with the really good tag and a couple of runs scored." Given all the positive activity at Schaefer's plant, the company will be adding capacity in an effort to "award as many points as possible to as many deserving Mets as possible." An industry analyst, however, doubts the effort will be sufficient.

"Ten points is ten points," the analayst said, adding "what was good enough for Seaver and Kingman is good enough for deGrom and whoever."

If you like voting while the memory of the game is still fresh, please record your votes offline somewhere so that you can post them after I get caught up on box scores after my return.

Thank you for catching up on the vacation games so quickly.
Schaefer Voting runs a tight ship!

[Benjamin Grimm]

The home office in Stockholm pretty much insists on it! I'm lucky they even let me take a vacation!

[G-Fafif]

The most rewarding voting in this fan's world, for 'Poolers who are having fun.

Last call for all games played through August 13. If you haven't voted yet, and intend to, please try to do so either today or tomorrow. The voting for these games will close on Friday.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I guess there's extra time to vote for these games, if you're so inclined, because I haven't been motivated to do any Schaefer or Mets stuff.

[G-Fafif]

August 26 game is listed as August 25, perhaps indicating one Mets day in 2017 has become very much like the other.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Thanks! I'll fix that forthwith!

On September 22, I erred in omitting Jeurys Familia from my ballot. Please give him 0.5 point from me and change Nori Aoki to 1.5 to compensate. Thank you.

Thanks for the fix!
