    The Alonso HR, along with the subsequent Peterson save, ended the Brewers season thereby denying Uecker the chance to be behind the mic as his hometown/lifelong team possibly marched to their first ever WS title. Instead, that 9th inning wound up being the last one Uecker ever got to call, so I think it's pretty obvious that it was Pete's HR that killed him. iow, I made it up.

    The American Ryder Cup team just checked in and said, "Man those really Mets sucked this year!" I didn't watch a minute of it this year -- despite it being on the only course used by the professionals that I've actually played (twice). But after being down by like two touchdowns after Friday and Saturday's matches, USA mounted a furious comeback only to fall just a little bit short. Why the Euro teams always seem to do better in the pairs half of the tourney and the Americans the singles portion remains an unexplained mystery to me. But that's a topic for another thread, I suppose. I just brought up the topic so as to get the joke in.

    The Blue Jays have now officially won so that is all over.

    From May 30, 2024 thru June 12, 2025 the Mets went 112-64, a .636 win pct or a 103 Win pace From June 13 until the end of the season they went 38-55, a .408 win pct / that's a team on pace for a 66-96 year. And while it's obviously not the same team all through those two stretches, the core was similar only with Soto added and Senga added.

    So the Reds get to watch the five run comeback in the Milwaukee visiting clubhouse.

    Yanx win on a run in the 9th ... but Toronto up 13-4 in the 8th So no division title up in the Bronx

    Tigers lose. Guardians win AL Central

    Marlins have six hits, five of them coming in a six batter span, three of which were for XBs. The only other one was an infield dribbler inning earlier. It's been a season full of meltdown innings like this one.

    Yanx/BAL still 2-2 But Jays now up 8-4 CLE down 4-3 DET down 4-3

    So the Marlins have been shut out (and barely gotten any baserunners) in 21 of the 23 innings in this series ... and have scored 11 runs. This is how we always used to lose to the Yanx: hold them to five hits but have four of those hits plus two walks all come in the same inning and lose the game 5 - 3 or something like that.
  13. Frayed Knot
    So the Mets had a 2-0 lead and two runners on w/one out in Game 1 of this series and seemed to be about to run Alcantara off the field ... but Lindor lined into a DP (1-U) and they never threatened to score again. Today they had two-on/one-out for Soto who GiDP'd to kill that inning. So let's see how this plays out. So far, not good.

    That strike 3 to Alvarez is a hat-tapper next year.

    End of 4: Yanx 2 - Orioles 2 End of 3: Blue Jays 5 - Rays 4

    More pitching changes than hits allowed.

    Yanx up 1-0, but Blue Jays up 5-1 still batting in bottom 2
  19. Frayed Knot
    Reds are 8-2 over their last 10 despite scoring just 3.8 runs/game. But they've allowed just 2.2 RA/G on average. In their last nine they've won games where they scored 1, 1, 2, and 3 runs. Plus the Brewers probably aren't too anxious to help out the Mets after last post-season. And they hold Alonso responsible for killing Bob Uecker, so there's that too.

    Top 3rd recap E-1 Single turned into a double by ill-advised dive K RBI Single (1st & 3rd) Short F-7 Walk Infield Single Bases Loaded Walk 2-RBI Single plus E-7 5-3 6 runs, 4 hits, 2 walks, 1 K, 2 Errors I mean, SHYEEET, could make them earn it at least a little bit?!?

    Gasser finally out after dancing with danger everywhere. The good news: only one run allowed The Bad: he's leaving the bases loaded/two outs for his successor and, yes, it's Les Mis. And a ****ing two-strike swinging bunt makes it 2-0!! Walk -- 3-0 Single: two runs + an error (no one covering 3rd which is where the throw went) = 3 runs 6-0 Reds, still batting.
  23. Frayed Knot
    Two misplays by the Brews put Reds on 2nd & 3rd w/no one out. 1) pitcher error on an easy 1-3 2) a dive and a whiff on a low liner to LF

    Gasser still in for the 2nd inning. I wonder if he's any relation to Steve Gasser. That Gasser was one of three pitchers the Twins dealt to the Mets in exchange for Wally Backman. It was considered at the time to be one of those 'Rich get Richer' deals where other teams couldn't believe the Mets were able to land three of Minnesota's hot up and coming minors league arms. Except that none of the trio ever reached the show. Meanwhile the younger Gasser just weaseled out of and 2nd & 3rd/one out jam (out #2 was Elly De La Cruz being thrown out at home on a grounder). Scoreless going to bottom 2 oe: Dang! Quick 1-2-3 bottom 2. Game on Big FOX
