We may have to figure it out Gselly from process of elimination, as September Mets are often hard to identify. Here's a larger version of the tarmac shot: [fimg=1000:3jdirsse]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DJxc3KPVYAAp0Wi.jpg:large[/fimg:3jdirsse] And here's a handy-dandy chart with numbers: [fimg=1000:3jdirsse]https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/mets-tarmac.jpg[/fimg:3jdirsse] Copy the list below and add one identity per post 1) Jerry Blevins 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) 13) 14) 15) 16) 17) 18) 19) 20) 21) 22) 23) 24) 25) 26) 27) 28) 29) 30) 31) 32)

Mets flew out of Chicago wearing römpers to the last man. Kind of appropriate, I guess, and it beats rookie hazing day. [fimg=850:1yvi5tya]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DJxc3KPVYAAp0Wi.jpg:large[/fimg:1yvi5tya]

Congratulations to Rafael Montero. Here's hoping your success proves to be more enduring than Alay Soler's.

Yeah, umlauts have failed just as so many things have failed me. But you'd really never think you could be disappointed by umlauts, of all things.

Also, that loss (and the horrible play that ended it) sealed the package on the Mets' elimination.

A cheetah on 5-Hour Energy Drink. But Smitty is no blade of grass. He's batted .365 (57-for-156) since May 9, with 20 doubles and two home runs. Re-reading this thread and this makes me sad.

What an appropriately shitty ending.

Those uncontested stolen bases are so emblematic of the 2017 Mets. They just concede so much.

Jay Bruce is spewing cliches for the cycle!

I love that the Indians' translator showed up with her finals week hairstyle.

Next available potential middle-infield minor league callup is 32-year-old Josh Rodriguez, who is a minor league free agent at the end of the season and is probably already home and planning his retirement. Behind him is ... Luis Guillorme? L.J. Mazzilli?

Should have put Nido in.

That was great.

Two. But Lindor up at the plate.

Naquin hugging first. Very exciting.

And d'Arnaud is out also.

OK, he's hurting. Mercy sakes.

And now Rosario is lollygagging it to first. "Don't be surprised, be ready," indeed.

Straw was a cool Facebook presence for a little while a few years back, interacting frankly with fans, until his wife let him know how many marriages are broken up by social media. Straw, fearing how quickly a mis-step could spiral into a disaster, initially pulled back, and then, I think, deleted his accounts. In those interactions, whenever asked the "Mets or Yankees" question, answered, "Mets, baby! I never should have left!" Like our president, I think he tends to answer these questions with utter absoluteness, but based on little more than his most recent interaction.

Does the Wrigley Field organ player know any music besides "Little Bit of Soul"?

Hey, this is a Mets broadcast. I don't want to see dancing in the Cubs bullpen.

Let it help you make it, after all. [list:1zwovlxu]1. Jösé Rëyes, 2b 2. Brändon Nïmmo, lf 3. Asdrübal Cabrëra, 3b 4. Domïnic Smïth, 1b 5. Trävis d'Arnaüd, c 6. Norichïka Aöki, rf 7. Amëd Rosärio, ss 8. Jüan Lagäres, cf 9. Sëth Lügo, sp[/list:u:1zwovlxu]
