    Mike started and had a 7-3 lead, but couldn't hold it. He's out of the game, which is now 7-6. His numbers:4.0IP 8H 6R 6ER 1BB 3K 1HR his season's ERA is now 6.16 Later

    I usually am content with whatever they achieve. (I can say that because I picked them to miss the playoff in the pre-season prediction thread.) But since they look like they will make the playoffs, why not go all the way? And, I think the MFYs will be in the WS for the AL. So what could be better than winning it all by beating THEM? There are only so many miracles, why not a biggie? WS champs or bust! Later

    Still laughing. Edgy at his best. Later

    I lived in California from 1998-2014 and absolutely relied on the IGT to keep me apprised of what was happening (I was unable, or too cheap, to access the games from there). Following the games here when I can watch on TV is not as beneficial but I like to read a quick recap when I miss the games for one reason or another. I don't get SNY on my cable station, so I follow the IGT for game updates, too. But, Like Whippoorwill, I'd prefer words to reactions like "blerp". But purple print is always good. Later

    BTW, speaking of IGT winning streaks, if we were to have a contest to see who would have the best IGT winning percentage, the best strategy to employ would be to hog them up. Being an IGT hog would give you the best chance of scoring the highest winning percentage. That's because given our unwritten IGT rules, claiming a win ensures that you'll then get every consecutive win that follows. But if the Mets were to, say, have a 10 game losing streak, no one would ever get stuck with all 10 of those losses because the rules prohibit you from claiming a game after a loss. In another thread, I suggested creating a CPF Award, named after Ed Kranepool, that is given to the person who "delivers" most IGT wins for the year. It didn't get a response. We'd still have to use the rule that you can't IGT after your loss. Whaddaya' think? Later

    Keep your eye on Nolan McLean. He was drafted as a two way player but mid year he decided to concentrate on pitching. He was named Eastern League Pitcher of the Week. He tossed six scoreless innings and struck out six in his effort, lowering his Double-A ERA to 4.19. McLean looked increasingly better as the season went on, earning a 2.35 ERA in his final six starts. Later

    =Centerfield post_id=170646 time=1726602743 user_id=65] I didn't realize until just how that the IGT argument was real and not tongue in cheek. To be honest, I'm still not completely sure. I think a much bigger deal is that we leased an office in Stockholm without forum quorum.

    Group hug, guys. Glad you both did that. Back to the game. LGM Later

    I'm a Vientos fan, but It may all be about "OMG" José Iglesias. When he was with Syracuse, the AAA Mets were the top team in AAA. Since his promotion on May 31st, the AAA Mets have sucked and suddenly the major league Mets who were 11 games under .500 have been one of the Top 3 teams in MLB and are 25 games over .500 since he joined them. There are some players who contribute more than what we see in the box score. Later

    Torrens wouldn't have been the heaviest second baseman I've seen. After the two NY teams moved West, when they visited Philadelphia, some games were telecast back to New York. For a few games that year, Pancho Herrera (6'3" 220+ pounds) played second for Philly. In one game I saw against LA, somebody missed a hit and run pitch and Frank Howard (6'7" 250+pounds) was "stealing" second. They collided at second base and I think the resulting force weakened Connie Mack Stadium so much that the had to replace it with the Vet. (well, maybe an exaggeration, but not by much) I was something to behold. Later

    LOL! Later

    The way they're hitting, that 0-1 deficit seems insurmountable. Time for some Mets Magic. (divine intervention would help, too.) Later

    HUH? Looks like something either got deleted or moved to the red light forum. (I haven't looked there yet). OE: Yep. It was moved. Back to baseball. Later

    =Centerfield post_id=170454 time=1726520474 user_id=65] I didn't think Grimace was still a thing. Maybe woulda been funnier a few months ago. Anyway, not a big deal. I imagine this is for this last homestand only.

    =Cowtipper post_id=170433 time=1726510290 user_id=166] Even if they don't get very far in the playoffs—if they get there at all—2024 has certainly been memorable.
