The Nats have shown heart, pulling ahead 9-8 in the ninth.

JAKE-DE-GROM! JAKE-DE-GROM!

C'mon! Save deGrom's ups!

Jacob deGrom and Terry Collins may be taking this thread title more seriously than expected.

deGrom may be struggling these days but certainly not at home.

Hopefully. Probably won't see him tomorrow, though. Meanwhile, Mets infielders are cleaning up.

Shane Baz is the guy who got ROBBED in Season Three of American Idol. His rendition of "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" should be the new standard.

Yoenis has been lifted for Lagares. Concern over the legs or the earliest defensive replacement ever.

Pavin Smith is the steady, reliable, bowtie-wearing, Anglophile romantic rival to our red blooded, 80s-movie American protagonist, who is a little rough around the edges, but has heart. Pavin may offer you a big, safe house in the suburbs, Christine, but Jeff makes you laugh, and the world is better when you laugh.

Jay Bruce, garbage in, garbage out ... of the park.

McKenzie Gore, teenage girl pop singer of the sixties, singing her hit sensation, "Did You Have to Date My Sister?"

Runners in scoring position every inning, but it doesn't seem like deGrom is struggling. Seems to be in control.

Cabrera doing what he do.

Leadoff error. Shakes it off.

Ugh. #toomanyshortstops

I feel like it's 15 or 20 years since I saw a slugger (or anybody) choke up and go the other way like that with two strikes. Rizzo looked like Rusty Staub up there. That double aside, nice inning by deGrom.

I like how deG is coming out.

Hey, Keef's back! And strangely happy. Watch out for those painkillers, man.

Hardy Bardy was mostly injured earlier in the year. (Hardy Bardy isn't very hardy, are he?) So he will be reporting to St. Lucie to work out before being added to a minor league roster. Technically, he'll be a St. Lucie Met on the Temporarily Inactive list. Brilliant move by Sandy-Who-Waits-in-the-Grass.
