I'm on fumes here.

Boo. Pete sure does run those out hard, though.

Wow! The Pads can muff a force at second too! Alonso up with the bags all filled!

Yup! Show us your pen, Padres!

We may be chasing this guy.

The Mets cut the lead in half with a great expression of McCannage!

That last pitch was a triple-pause motion for Darvish.

Am I all alone with this show?

Rough inning on defense for Drury.

Oh, man. First and third, two outs, in the top of the fifth. Down three. And they let Walker bat. Of all the times to stick with the starter.

A hit happens. Masonic!

A double play keeps the Mets alive. But a baserunner would be nice.

Darvish's mid-delivery delay is starting to get annoying.

Oh, Mason!

Walker has movement but his control looks all over tonight.

The Padres helmets totally make me want a chocolate bar.

As noted in another thread, Springtime Met Caleb Joseph is now Raniering.

Not only is Cuddy from Nicaragua, from whence he'd be only the second of his countrymen ever to play for the Mets (should he play for the Mets), but he's actually from The Corn Islands, Nicaragua — a former pirate enclave of less than 10,000 souls. His nickname is even "Island Boy." I'm pretty sure they have dinosaurs down there. That's even cooler than being from Wyoming!

Tovar and Maybin feel like the first time in a dozen tries the Mets were able to get somebody across the waiver line. All you have to do is send down a guy hitting .036, and then everybody lets you keep him!

No word as of press time with regard to the pile of guys the Mets have DFA'd, but i imagine they are flooding the waiver wire as we type.

He's probably just roster filler, but he's got a Jake deGrom build and represented the Great Lakes Loons in the Midwest League All-Star Game, back in 2019, the last year there was such a thing.

I'd work on Franco.

I knew of his relation to Falcone, but not to Franco. Franco took over the tomato garden in his day.

Los Angeles may be winning at a .600 clip, but it's not like teams aren't bringing their best when they play the Dodgers.

I guess that means no Greek. Sorry, Dellin Βnces.
