  1. As of August 27, 2015, the New York Mets (71-56) are precisely 15 games over .500 for the first time since August 31, 2008 (76-61).
  2. Funny how we've never seen Soupcan and Soup Campbell in the same place.
  3. [fimg=300:2mq7i1xl]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VqHUGmkah7M/VDFgCLx0s1I/AAAAAAAAGWc/9kF9RumOW-0/s1600/kola%2Bnut%2Bcollage.jpg[/fimg:2mq7i1xl] Come Saturday, we shall all be Koehler Nuts.
  4. Three cheers for OTOFT (our temporary other favorite team) the San Diego Padres for hanging on in their 6-5 win over the Nationals. Two home runs for Justin Upton, who is forgiven for that dinger through the raindrops four weeks ago broke our hearts beyond repair one day before the trade for Yoenis Cespedes stitched them back together just fine. Beloved righty Andrew Cashner goes up against heathen Joe Ross (he dares to wear 41????) 7:05 Thursday night. OTOFT becomes the Miami Marlins this weekend, but for now Let's Go Padres!

  9. As of August 25, 2015, the New York Mets (69-56) are precisely 13 games over. 500 for the first time since August 26, 2008 (73-60).
  10. Anemic MFYs barely eke out a run while the big, bad Mets simply pound opponents into dust.
  11. Flores 2.0 Wright 1.5 Gilmartin 1.5 Cuddyer 1.0 d'Arnaud 1.0 Murphy 1.0 Cespedes 1.0 Lagares 1.0

  14. Terry: the guy from work who sometimes you roll your eyes at as he leaves, sometimes you think he's not so bad -- he may even kind of know what he's doing. In real life guys like that aren't replaced every time they do something you disagree with. They stick around and after five years maybe they get mentioned in an anniversary recognition ceremony if the company's big enough or acknowledged with a piece of cake if the company's friendly enough. At this company, a ring might be in order.
  15. Benjamin Grimm wrote: Conforto's sitting too against the lefty. That's Cuddyer in the corner spot. I expect we'll see Curtis pinch-hitting against a righty reliever. Brain saw one thing, fingers typed another. Corrected. Thanks.
  16. No Granderson. That's a rarity. [crossout:rnx9xgoq]Conforto[/crossout:rnx9xgoq] Cuddyer in the corner where he was originally slotted before a game was played. And JuannyLag in center, so David doesn't suffer culture shock.
  17. "We're gonna be careful with you and bat you cleanup from the get-go. No pressure." Juan Lagares � CF Daniel Murphy � 1B Yoenis Cespedes � LF David Wright � 3B Wilmer Flores � 2B Travis d�Arnaud � C Michael Cuddyer � RF Ruben Tejada � SS Jacob deGrom � RHP
  18. It was a four-game series sweep at Citizens Bank Park at almost the exact same time of year (August 27-30) eight years ago that presaged the collapse to come and era to follow. The Mets entered on a Monday leading the Phillies by six and left leading by two. They recovered for a couple of weeks, but the fuse was lit. Historical retribution is in order. Officially I take them one game at a time. But man oh man, I want to take four. Never mind that 23 of the current 25 Phillies will be, "What's 2007?" Stick it to Ryan Howard and Carlos Ruiz now and Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins in October.

  20. At 67-56, we're on our second trip of the year to the mile-high air of eleven over, August 23, 2015.
  21. Verrett 5.5 Conforto 2.0 Murphy 0.5 Flores 0.5 Cespedes 0.5 Recker 0.5 Robles 0.5
  22. The Uniclones are coming and they're crossing home plate as we speak. Actually, they're here.
  23. Uribe 2.0 Niese 1.5 d'Arnaud 1.5 Tejada 1.5 Lagares 1.5 Granderson 1.5 Clippard 0.5
  24. Indeed, the herd has been thinned. Go figure. The pack of Uniclones, however, now goes to 11. Date listed is most recent of the two appearances by the score in question. 14-9 08/22/2015 a-COL 2 REG 14-3 06/28/2011 a-DET 2 REG 18-5 09/05/2010 a-CHI 2 REG 15-6 06/27/2008-1 a-NYY 2 REG 11-8 06/30/2000 h-ATL 2 REG 14-11 04/30/2000 a-COL 2 REG 14-0 04/19/1998 a-CIN 2 REG 12-10 08/08/1995 a-PHI 2 REG 15-10 06/13/1990-1 a-CHI 2 REG 14-7 08/08/1985 a-MON 2 REG 14-4 07/07/1984 h-CIN 2 REG
