My first thought was the MFYs

Not 4 nothing but we salvaged a split of that ugly series and believe it or not had a winning road trip

Yay, hits with RISP

Yeah Walker's alright. Just one subpar outing all year even though we all probably harbor doubts he's this good irl. Let's talk about Smith, though. Geez

My wild enthusiasm has paid off thanks to an error and pitcher who stopped throwing strikes

What passes for my enthusiasm these days. I don't think this 1-0, 5th inning deficit is completely insurmountable

Dammit smitty

wasn't hit hard enough for a DP, just a force at 2nd

I always forget day games. Anyway here we are in the 2nd, McCan't with 2 on and 1 out. High probability of a DP to come

We are underway. Lindor reached base!

I liked that happy birthday vid

I like where the wild-pitch leaders also index with good pitchers in their years. Obviously innings matter but stuff too

Gary mentioned today how polite and tolerant he has found St. Louis fans to be. That hasn't been my experience. My experience has been mixed in various St. Louisian visits. First time at Busch II, I was on a biz trip and bought a single seat at the gate. Figured that being amongst the "Best Fans in Baseball" I'd encounter knowledgeable patrons with whom I could the discuss the game but the people around me were complete baseball illiterates. Coulda just been bad luck. More recently at Busch III we had a very friendly stadium tour guide who was partisan and knowledgeable but great to talk to. Also encountered a butt-hurt usher who interrupted us trying to get the proper post-game victory photo, shooing us away. A better strategy would have been offering to take the pic for us but you could tell they too humilated to do so. Spring Training in St. Petersburg back when we shared a facility-- no problems, good folks. Online fans-- don't know they're racists, less smart than they think they are. Visiting fans at Shea/Citi -- OK I guess. My cardinals-Mets at home stories are almost all big wins for the good guys. Historically -- "pond scum." Does not reflect well

I guess you guys referenced this above. Luncheonettes, candy shops and delis need to penetrate this category again.

Geez, damning indictment of the Chisox' 76-year-old skipper Detroit Free Press: Chicago White Sox's Tony La Russa's managerial mistakes continue to mount. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/2021/05/06/tony-la-russa-managerial-mistakes-chicago-white-sox/4966423001/https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/2021/05/06/tony-la-russa-managerial-mistakes-chicago-white-sox/4966423001/

As a former ultimate frisbee legend I can tell you that play is not instinctual at least at first but once you do it it's like the greatest feelings there is. You outran a a thing that was flying away from you, like the cavemen felt like capturing a buffalo

Well done Mets. They now have a shot at salvaging a series split on the road

The frisbee play I meant was just getting totally horizontal at speed, but O'Neill couldn't hold onto the ball.

Both Nido and Ali Sanchez look like Star Wars Stormtroopers

That was an ultimate frisbee kinda effort

Villar is really humiliating Lindor

Villar now out slugging and out RBIing Lindor

Yammy is hittable, but hanging in there

Pillar shits on the urinator
