The only good thing that we could say about Las Vegas is that there were plenty of flights to anywhere the Mets were playing. Without checking, I don't think that's true for Fresno.

Back to the game, have Frazier and Rosario mentally checked out? The relievers have a tough enough time without the IF blowing easy plays.

To speed up the game, as soon as Sewald comes in a game give the other team a run and go from there.

Thank you for apologizing for what this is doing to my family! BTW, I like beer. It's Jose Urena v Corey Oswalt at Citi Field. Oswalt is 3 and 3, 6.08, 1.35, 41 K in 60 IP, -0.6 WAR. Where do you see him in '19? Insurance at Syracuse? Not working for State Farm, although it's possible, but ready if needed? He pitched once against MIA, on August 11, giving up 3 ER in 6 IP which seems about right for him. He has given up HRs to Lewis Brinson and J.T. Riddle. Stitches in The New York Post, is a gambling column and it says: "Marlins and Mets at Citi Field this weekend. Jose Urena’s won his last five, posting an ERA of 1.85. Mets give Corey Oswalt another look. 20 units on Miami." https://nypost.com/2018/09/27/jose-urena-will-shut-down-mets/ Urena is 8 and 12, 4.07, 1.17, 128 K in 168 IP, 0.9 WAR. He's the guy that drilled Acuna for being so good. Jay Bruce has hit 2 HR off Urena and Conforto is 7 for 16. Here's a picture of Corey Oswalt that I took last Saturday at Nationals Park: METS: 1.

Who dared mock Vargas in the thread's first post? Nice win. The quest for 3rd continues tomorrow.

It's a partisan political war! Everyone can speak for 5 minutes as the NL East Champs face the Mets at Citi Field. This game won't feel anti-climactic after last night, right? What's at stake for the Mets? [tweet] [/tweet] Jason Vargas (6.25, 6-9, 78 K, 1.49 WHIP) for the Mets and, obviously, Julio Teheran (4.03, 9-8, 157 K's, 1.19 WHIP) for the Braves, making his 27th start against the Mets this season (26 IP, 1.69, 0.98 WHIP). Jose Lobaton has 2 HR's off Teheran as does Jay Bruce. Vargas has a 6.14 ERA v ATL this year (14.2). Markakis has 2 HR off Vargas, like that's difficult. No Freddie Freeman for ATL. METS: 1.

Wouldn't "Jeff will speak tomorrow" have been enough for a quorum of talking heads with press passes to clear their calendars? Also, why is Jeffy talking on Sunday? That's David Wright's last day as an active player. Unless Jeffy has to immediately get to the Hamptons there is no reason why he can't mumble his way through a press conference on Monday (which would also give the Mets another day of coverage).

Can we leave Steve Bartman alone already? Last night a foul ball was caught by a Cubs fan (at Wrigley) while preventing Anthony Rizzo from making the catch. Of course, the fan is being compared to Bartman (this time, the ball was in the stands, Rizzo didn't throw a fit like Alou, and the Cubs still won the game). http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=24809057

I'm glad to hear the Great Shower Curtain Strike of 2018 is over. Does Maja still have her talk show?

How about deGrom returns on Sunday to get the save.

[tweet:1o1lhodd] [/tweet:1o1lhodd] Jeffy Wilpon, the third Trump son, will mumble through a press conference with the media on Sunday. What do you expect him to say? Some guesses: "We are committed to winning" "We are in the process of finding the best possible General Manager" "Mickey has done a great job"

Useless. Syndergaard pitches a brilliant game then Mickey puts on his manager hat, Gsellman stinks it up, Jackson fails to do the one thing he is slightly capable of doing, and the lead is lost. It doesn't matter next week but it matters now.

About David Wright: [tweet:1hjmednc]https://twitter.com/martinonyc/status/1044678596990828544[/tweet:1hjmednc] If that's the case, then they should not start Austin Jackson and should keep Jack Reinheimer and Jose Reyes on the bench because the use of any of them is an advantage to the Braves.

I enjoyed getting free fries from Shake Shack. When the guy behind the counter saw me he quietly said: "I'm a Mets fan too." I gave him my order and he said: "I'll hook you up with the fries."

Congratulations to all of the long suffering Braves fans.

If you think that this game sucks on TV, it's worse in person.
