Miserable game. They have nothing. "We beat Nola and Wheeler and now they're sending a no-name? We got this." A rare time when Buck's Mets have looked flat.

That was David Robertson who Billy Eppler didn't get at the trade deadline while PHI did.

1st inning--Castellanos robs McNeil and saves 2 runs. 6th inning--McNeil robs Realmuto and saves 2 runs.

They crush Nola and Wheeler but can't hit this nobody.

=kcmets post_id=104747 time=1661041039 user_id=53] What's up with the pitchers image from that outfield camera? It's like the have an aura shadow or something.

"Bloop hits", "cheap hits". Way to stand up and accept your shitty performance.

How about that pre-game show? Yankees, Braves... oh yeah, the Mets, too. F F*x and the Mets post-season games will be on F*x, too. PRB person Orsillo said that Buck had the same lineup as G1 other than at catcher... except that Canha is starting in LF while Naquin started in G1.

During the extra-long commercial breaks (for national TV) you can watch Mets past and future as Syracuse is on MLBN, facing the Charlotte Knights. I wonder why Francisco Alvarez isn't playing. https://www.milb.com/gameday/mets-vs-knights/2022/08/20/666207#game_state=live,game_tab=,game=666207https://www.milb.com/gameday/mets-vs-knights/2022/08/20/666207#game_state=live,game_tab=,game=666207

Not to be confused with Bailey Quarters of WKRP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey_Quartershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey_Quarters

It's a matchup of left-handers as the Mets go the doubleheader sweep against the Phillies (7:10 PM, FOX, with Don Orsillo and Tom Verducci). David Peterson hasn't started against PHI this year but did pitch two shutout innings in relief last weekend. Bailey Falter has pitched against the Mets which surprised me even though once was last weekend! Pete has hit a HR off Falter. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-phillies/2022/08/20/661606#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=661606https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-phillies/2022/08/20/661606#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=661606

Maybe Cora was too conservative there.

Me: It's gotta be the 7th inning by now... WHAT?

Nice job by the guys tonight after a long night.

Trevor Williams goes for the Mets against Zach Wheeler for the Phillies at 1 PM ET. Kyle Schwarber has hit 4 HRs off Williams. Trevor has not started against PHI this season but pitched two scoreless innings in relief on August 14. Wheeler got his ass kicked by the Mets last weekend, giving up 6 runs. I wrote something that was factually inaccurate in my thread starter for last night's game (that I have edited) which tells me that either you are too polite to correct me, and we know that's not true, or you don't read the comments. The Phillie Phanatic is like a hack comic doing the same tired, obvious act for years. He's the Gallagher of mascots because we once thought that the watermelon smashing was funny but after a few years, you need to do something else. Gallagher is still smashing watermelons and the Phanatic is still smashing helmets. Mr. Met is the finest mascot in sports, a class act who improves every year. The Phillie Phanatic is a giant, green, POS. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-phillies/2022/08/20/661628#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=661628https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-phillies/2022/08/20/661628#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=661628

=bmfc1 post_id=104587 time=1660928335 user_id=73] Pete has 4 HRs against Nola but Pete doesn't seem to hit HRs anymore... prove me wrong, big guy!

Look, it's the worst mascot in sports, the Gallagher of mascots.

The first of 4 in Philadelphia as Chris Bassitt faces Aaron Nola (RHP). Pete has 4 HRs against Nola but Pete doesn't seem to hit HRs anymore... prove me wrong, big guy! And shame on Pete for having Jim Breuer as part of his charity comedy night. Breuer no long yells into his phone for Mets fans but he is a strident anti-vaccer. Shame on Pete for giving that ass a platform. I'm sure that Gary and Ron will chuckle at the Phillies' new graphic ("Keith approved!" whenever there's a good defensive play). Boy, they sure are sensitive in a town that is supposed to be tough... second-rate New York wannabees. Jealous much?

Maybe Nimmo should start sitting against lefties for a while. You could put Pete at leadoff--he's become a singles and doubles hitter and he has more steals than Nimmo.

=MFS62 post_id=104290 time=1660766280 user_id=60] Pete Alonso has announced that he will be playing for Team USA in the next tournament.

I know that this is a minority opinion and I've said it before but the Braves organist is a look-at-me piece of trash.

An early candidate for next year's Derby Final Four.

Yesterday's shutout win: 2:24 Today's shutout win: 3:22.

I heart everyone in a Mets uniform but I really heart McNeil.

Phew. Diaz didn't break even w/o his best stuff. Impressive. Big win.
