Oh good Correa is back, I was beginning to think that this series was tilting too far in our favor.


Mets starting the game with Dominican Republic, followed by Japan, Venezuela, then U. S.

Flexy given a 2-0 lead to blow.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Halfway there, as Reyes carelessly extends the inning

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Should be 5-0 at least, but 4-2 after 1.5

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

And there we go. 6-4 bad guys, and by bad bad guys, I don't mean the guys who are playing badly, because that's the good guys.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Good play by Lagares makes up for bad play by Zimmo on the same play. Mets!

[Frayed Knot]

Lagares ... now if only he could hit and run the bases.

[Frayed Knot]

There's the Clippard we all know: HBP, bases-loaded walk

[Frayed Knot]

Papa Hernandez

[Edgy MD]

Shoulda squeezed, Cabrera.

[Frayed Knot]

Got those outs in the wrong order.
With only one out, TdA's fly ball might have brought home two!

[Edgy MD]

Is Rosario hurt now?

[Frayed Knot]

I don't know, although it is a day ending in a Y and it has been nearly 24 hours since the last injury so, yeah, the odds are pretty good.

Except that his previous attempt at bunting didn't go well despite the open left side.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, but ...

Nimmo has a great eye, but doesn't seem to buy into protecting with two strikes.

I just got in and checked the box score, saw Reynolds in for Amed, and was going to ask the same thing.
Any word about this yet?

Amed tweaked a knuckle yesterday. X-Rays negative,

How bad are the good guys, now, these days? Tough to stomach, prospects and all. Rough times.

When I saw the names of the starting pitchers, I remembered that as a kid I always wanted a Flexible Flyer.
Then, I snapped out of my reverie.
Sigh.
