Serena Williams announced today that she is 20 weeks pregnant. That means she won the last Australian Open while pregnant.
C'mon, Travis. Shrug that bruise shit off. Don't be a wuss. We need you.

Later

Rats.

[Frayed Knot]

At this rate, our starters just might all finish this season with fewer than 10 decisions.

[ashie62]

Travis and Duda are hurt? I'm stunned.

Bruce juice is loose

[Guest themetfairy]

I think we can call this The Jay Bruce Game.

Wow!

[Zvon]

BRUUUUUCE!
5-3 Mets

[Frayed Knot]

It's official Mets fans, you can stop hating him.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

This one's goin' out to Candy in right field!

I'll admit that I'm coming around.

To Neil Walker too.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I get a feeling Neil Walker hatred is on the upswing. He's my "pick to click" for hated Met regular of 2017!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Reed does work quickly.

Books. (Albeit ones whose endings leave me... unsettled.)

[ashie62]

... and to think Bruce was untradeable..

Rather see Flores at 2b than Walker.

It was a grind but we won. It just has to get easier from here.

I think the opposite. If Duda is hurt, it takes some of the heat off of Reyes.

Rather late to the party tonight. Reading through the thread, but I couldn't let this pass without comment. Not hard to find a Bartolo Colon type? Are you kidding me? The man is a one of a kind original.

Besides that, he was dependable and durable. He is the kind of bullpen arm the Mets need. He can fill in as a spot starter, long man when a starter faulters, or the inning eater in those long extra inning affairs.

Glad to see the Mets (Bruce) pulled this one out.

On vacation for a few days in Tannersville, PA, hitting the indoor water park/arcade/mini golf type joint. Watched innings 3-6 in the hotel room on the Phillie network, only, our kids don't fall asleep with the TV on, so, I boot myself down to the resort bar and ask the bartenders if they can put on the Phillies games. Only, the channel numbers are different down there, and I can't find Comcast.

But they get SNY down here!

So it was 3-3 at that point, but over a fine Blue Moon stout I got to see Bruce hit the go ahead HR, and grabbed another beer to go, and headed back to my hotel room.

That is all. #LGM

[ashie62]

Super!!!. They do have SNY and WPIX NY channel 259. The two NBC's confuse me.

[Lefty Specialist]

That SNY streaming stuff doesn't work in St Louis, boo.

But Bruce looked good on Gamecast (which is only slightly worse than Comcast). Needed that one, boys.

Meh, Bartolo has a 4.24 ERA this season, his age 44 season. He's only reliable until he's not. He pitched well for the Mets over the three years, giving them some value, pitching right about league average. That's fine, that's good. (That's also what everyone bitched about when we got it from Mike Pelfrey), but you can find that if you suddenly need it. You might even be able to find _Colon_ again should you need him, if it's two months from now and the Braves are looking to promote a starter from the minors anyway. He's just roster filler for them.

[Edgy MD]

It ain't a bullpen arm the Mets need. They need to get their leadoff hitter on.

It also means she should have been playing doubles.
