    Don't you folks read anything?!?

    Looked at backwards, his name was, essentially, Ladies Love Dick .... which you can interpret any way you want.

    Perhaps the most predictable GiDP in history.

    How is the word 'Noffense' not in this thread?

    Maybe what they need after a few Hollywood Nights is some sunshine in Chi Town and a Saturday in the Park. The last place (NLE) 7-12 Mets take on the last place (NLC) 9-9 Cubs on Friday - Saturday - Sunday with all three games at 2:20 EDT Friday sees Kodai Senga vs Edward Cabrera [3 starts, 16.2 IP, 3 R, 10 H] who had spent his whole career (2021-25) with Miami until an off-season trade back in January. The 28 y/o Righty has good numbers this year although his history isn't as kind. In ten GS vs the Mets over his career Cabrera pitched to a 5.09 ERA w/lots of baserunners, thanks mainly to 33 walks (plus 4 HBP) in just 40.2 innings. Of course that was prior to the Mets adopting their current strategy of going to the plate with a rolled-up and damp copy of Good Housekeeping in their hands in place of traditional wood bats so current mileage may vary.

    'Hey Freddie, Luis Robert here. I just called to say I glove you'

    That's what we needed, an AB by a guy who has never been a Met before. btw, MJ Melendez is Mervyl Samuel Melendez ?!?

    Insurmountable Lead Alert: Dodgers have two, Mets runs in the three games don't yet add up to two.

    Yanx have given up 21 runs to the Angels in three games (they have a fourth game Thursday afternoon) but won two of the three with both wins coming by scoring three times in the bottom of the 9th. Tonight it was bases-empty/one out in B-9th when Jazz Chisholm popped up in the IF. But the SS & 3B played I-got-it/you-take-it and it fell untouched. The Angels never got another out. About the only positive thing for LAA is that Trout has homered four times in the three games so maybe the 34 y/o (35 in August) has some juice left in the tank yet ... until the next injury occurs anyway.

    Going to be coming home from California with an aching in our hearts.

    Didn't even come close to making that 9th inning interesting. The Dodgers notched three hits and three walks (plus one IW) but they twice paired a walk and a hit to score a run. The Mets, far too often, do the one baserunner per inning thing (when they're even getting baserunners at all).
  12. Frayed Knot
    Leadoff walks!!!!
  13. Frayed Knot
    I didn't even realize that one was called a strike and Gary didn't seem to either.
  14. Frayed Knot
    Two consecutive ABS challenges that were much more hope than belief.
  15. Frayed Knot
    Encouraging reckless sports gambling. Do you really need the money that badly Kevin Hart?
  16. Frayed Knot
    We got get this kid some runs. And he's only at six innings worth of pitches (thru 6-2/3) so no need to yank him yet unless this next out takes a while.
  17. Frayed Knot
    Let's test this out ... The Mets have now gone 42 straight games without a two run, tie-breaking double. Hmmmm, now quite a fool-proof strategy apparently.
  18. Frayed Knot
    Will Smith seems to be tattoo-less. Are you allowed to be a big league catcher sans ink?
  19. Frayed Knot
    Hit -- 20 straight (mostly weak) outs - Hit
  20. Frayed Knot
    Are you kidding? That kind of outing makes him THE epitome of a Met. And as you know: When you're a Met you're a Met all the way / from your first bullpen gaffe to your last pinch-hit K
  21. Frayed Knot
    I think they'd hit the ball a lot harder if they started using wooden bats to swing instead of the wet, rolled-up copies of old Rolling Stone magazines they've been using.
  22. Frayed Knot
    Not sure. But if it's a Win it looks like it'll have to be the kind where you score early and try to make it stand up over the next 27 outs.
  23. Frayed Knot
    Dom Smith is 3/4 tonight including an 8th inning/two-out/3-RBI 2B to put the Braves ahead 6-5. This should put his BA at right around .400 and push his OPS to 1100. OK it's just 38 ABs, but still ...

    From the 'Things Could Be Worse' file: at least none of the Met pitchers have had a game as bad as the one put forth on Monday night by Boston's Garrett Crochet of all people. Bottom of 1st inning (vs Twins): FO, 2B, WP, 2B, 1B, FO, BB, HBP, IF 1B, PO [9 batters faced, 4 runs, 4 hits] Bottom 2nd: 1B, BB, BB, 1B, 2B, HR, GO, FO, HR ... and then pulled. [9 batters faced, 7 runs, 5 hits, 2 BB] In all, 18 betters, 11 scored, 5 retired. (1-2/3 IP) 2 LOB. Sawx are now 6-10 (much worse than our 7-10)

    I was hoping they'd bat McLean cleanup.
