Run on Jay Bruce, pay the price.

Kaboom. Double kaboom.

Nicely d'one!

That was great, Brucie. Now let's get some runs back.

Well, that gsucked.

Bumping this up. If the Mets are going to improve over this .500 start, it's up to us - each and every one of us - to better know our enemies.

Good to see Walker showing mobility. I was going to post about his back in the worries thread.

I think this Syndergaard guy is going to turn into a pretty good pitcher.

Darling with specs is a new thing, isn't it?

. I don't know nuthin' about nuthin'. But I can make a table. I took Pittsburgh, and I signed FMan up for the MFY series. [table:f9898buq][tr:f9898buq][td:f9898buq].

A Cleveland April Fools joke with a Metly surprise at the end. A massive change is coming for Market Garden Brewery: The downtown Cleveland brewery, which has been expanding rapidly since its inception in 2011, will shift from producing beer to making milk within five years. ... One of the biggest challenges will be finding a place for the cows the brewery will keep - something McNulty said is important so people will understand the "grains-to-glass" cycle and know exactly where the milk they are drinking is coming from. The owners have chosen a farm in Amish country, about 90 minutes south of Cleveland. Ohio-bred cows could be a selling point in the milk market, much like the local-foods movement has influenced offerings in restaurants and grocery stores. Livestock workers who are experienced are encouraged to apply for cow-tending positions when the brewery's plan hits that phase. Email mbona@cleveland.com for details. Sidd Finch of Old Orchard Beach, Maine, has been hired as director of the brewery's milk operations. He was traveling in the Himalayas and unavailable for comment. http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2017/04/market_garden_brewery_to_shift.html

1. Larry Sherry OE - was never actually a Met, though his less successful brother was.

I just looked up and it's now 9-3, as Number 83 is giving up some runs.

Mets win 3-1. Lugo goes 3 and gets the win. Is the rule that a starting pitcher needs to go five to get credit for the win suspended in ST games? Future answer to a seawolf countdown trivia question Josh Smoker gets the save.

That ground rule double looked like it was going to be an easy pop fly. Some wind definitely blowing today.

Even if it does shorten the game, the complaint that the game is now taking too long is a catchall complaint for various actions that extend the length of a game without adding excitement - time taken between pitches, time working the count, conferences on the mound, etc., etc., etc. It doesn't have anything to do with extra inning games, which most fans love. So this is addressing the wrong problem. Personally, I have no problem with game length at all. I could see cutting time between innings (which, as has been pointed out, will never be agreed to by the networks), but I like strategizing. I like hitters battling pitchers by going deep into the count. I like close plays being subject to review at a manager's request. I'm good with the game as it is. But I recognize that I'm in the minority of baseball fans in general, and I may even be in the minority of fans here in the CPF.

My dad was a Yankee fan and my maternal grandfather was a Giants fan turned Mets fan. Until I was about 13, my Met allegiance waxed and waned depending on how well I was getting along with my dad at the time. And in the early 1970s, it was OK to root for both. Roy White, Bobby Murcer, and Mel Stottlemyre? Cool. Wayne Garrett, Cleon Jones, and Tom Seaver? Also cool. But my heart was always with the Mets. My dad drove to Yankee Stadium and left in the bottom of the 7th to beat the traffic home. My grandfather took the 7 to Shea and stayed until the last out. And Yankee imagery, to my seven-year-old self, was dull, stodgy, hidebound. The Mets had Mr. Met in the stands and Bob, Lindsey, and Ralph calling the games. Rooting for the Yankees was great when they were good and utterly joyless when they weren't. The Mets were about fun. And it's a fucking game. Even when I was a kid, I had enough sense to know that the point was to have fun, win or lose. Anyway, Steinbrenner bought the Yankees in the early seventies, and the Reggie-Billy-George soap opera and my growing political awareness and deepening love of the underdog (and equally deepening hatred of the DH) brought me back for good to the side of dignity, light, and truth.
