And Pistol Pete's second dong of the day puts him back in Ralph Kiner territory. Did I say Kiner? I mean Babe Ruth territory. The accompanying RBI also puts him back on track to break the Mets team record, if only just, and brings him into Top 1,000 RBI seasons of all time.

YGB, man. Loogie ain't been the problem. It's September ball, though. When you send up Panik! to hit, and the opposition counters with a lefty, you pull Joe for Haggerty or Frazier or Rajai or something. Additionally, after taking it in the ear from Philadelphia, I haven't really appreciated enough that this is a game against a rival for a post-season slot also.

Wow, the Mets get baserunners after Alonso's homer. Again.

Pete Alonso now owns the 101st best home run season ever. Ever. [TABLE][TR][TH] Home Runs in a Season by a Mets Rookie[/TH][TH]Home Runs in a Season by a Mets Hitter of Any Stripe[/TH][TH] Home Runs in a Season by an MLB Rookie[/TH][TH]Home Runs in a Season by an MLB Hitter of Any Stripe[/TH]

What the bean is Wilmer doing wearing 41?

I believe in cleanup hitters. Schmutz the upside of getting two guys on after Alonso's homer?

Man, you can fool Alonso, but it's really hard to get the same pitch by him twice.

Dom Smith hit the DL on July 27, so that suggests he would now be eligible to be activated on September 25, depending on the foot.

Nimmo continuing to be on the wrong end of the lineup. Wilmer, on the other hand, is hitting fit'.

Does he come to speculate on why? I mean, it'd take at least two psychologists, one specializing in organizational psych, an economist, and a statistician to separate how much is horrible luck, how much is shortcomings in the organization and their deployment and philosophy, and how much is something else, but there's probably at least something in there.

And, it was a good afternoon for Terry Felton. Most Career Losses, All-Time, Without a Win 1) Terry Felton (1979–1982 Twins): 0-16 =#0000FF]2) Paul Sewald (2017–2019) Mets: 0-14 3) Steve Gerkin (1945 Athletics): 0-12 4) William "Charlie" Stecher (1890 Athletics): 0-10 5) Tyler Cravy (2015–2016 Brewers): 0-9 t-6) Ed O'Neil (1890 Maumees, 1890 Athletics): 0-8 t-6) Ed Albosta (1941 Dodgers, 1946 Pirates): 0-8 t-6) Archie Reynolds (1968–1970 Cubs, 1971 Angels, 1972 Brewers): 0-8 t-6) Paul Brown (1961–1963, 1968 Phillies): 0-8 t-6) Scott Ruffcorn (1993–1996 White Sox, 1997 Phillies): 0-8 http://twinsdaily.com/uploads/monthly_01_2013/ccs-6-140639493255_thumb.jpg>

Glad the Buckets enjoyed.

Just a reminder. Most Career Losses, All-Time, Without a Win 1) Terry Felton (1979–1982 Twins): 0-16 =#0000FF]2) Paul Sewald (2017–2019) Mets: 0-13 3) Steve Gerkin (1945 Athletics): 0-12 4) William "Charlie" Stecher (1890 Athletics): 0-10 5) Tyler Cravy (2015–2016 Brewers): 0-9 t-6) Ed O'Neil (1890 Maumees, 1890 Athletics): 0-8 t-6) Ed Albosta (1941 Dodgers, 1946 Pirates): 0-8 t-6) Archie Reynolds (1968–1970 Cubs, 1971 Angels, 1972 Brewers): 0-8 t-6) Paul Brown (1961–1963, 1968 Phillies): 0-8 t-6) Scott Ruffcorn (1993–1996 White Sox, 1997 Phillies): 0-8

Sewald exits ineligible for the win, but eligible for the loss. Shmuh-oh.

Good news, though: Sewald is entering the game in a nice position to pick up his first career win ... or take a step toward the all-time record for most losses without a win.

Todd the Bod up with the bags juiced and two down.

The Mets fall behind but they would have been out of the inning if Conforto hit the cutoff man. The trailing runner was dead to rights. And the Mets tie it up on Nimmo's bases-loaded single. Rosario grounds out with the go-ahead on third. Two out.

Give it time. There are worse bunts to come. Phils have stolen three times. Ramos has yet to even make a throw.

Well, he's ... oh, you said sock.

Velasquez looking desperate as the Mets open up for three in the first. Got to bat Nimmo leadoff. Eight walks in 18 appearances since his return!

That was the best I could come up with also.

I'm pretty sure the general manager doesn't need to let Stroman pitch better. And if the trade fails, then it does, but the idea that there wasn't justification a month ago for replacing Vargas with him isn't particularly fair. Meanswhilst, if we're going to Monday-morning quarterback that change, Stroman has a 5.05 ERA since the trade, while Vargas has a 4.93 figure. That's not a lot of difference to lament. And again, Sandy Koufax can't make a difference if the team don't score and the leftfielder don't catch. There was plenty of reason to have been against that trade but I don't think replacing Vargas should count as one. I'm kind of disappointed we miss him this series. And hey! How about those five scoreless innings from the bullpen with only one hit and no walks allowed.

I'm sure other things happened — I think there was a well-turned DP in there or something — but I woke up thinking that Nimmo's ninth-inning walk was the highlight of the evening. Also, I was never quite clear on who or what "Teb!" is.

Well, Stroman smelled, but Koufax can't win if the team can't skurr.

This game has had more ass than a Steve Perry video, but I'm watching this ninth.
