I was hoping this was a dramatization of the Elton John story, at the peak of his glamour god stardom. How could it not be?

Yeah, it's offense. If you don't score, it'll always be some bullpenner who gives up the winning run. If you replace him with another guy, either the other guy will give up the winning run, or your offense will continue to fail and the next guy will. Offense. Baserunners. Offense.

Cool story about deceased Jets tight end Konrad Reuland, and the heart his family donated ending up in the chest of Hall-of-Famer Rod Carew. http://www.ocregister.com/2017/04/14/konrad-carew-how-an-nfl-players-donated-heart-saved-life-of-a-baseball-hall-of-famer-2/

Well, I guess I get to sleep tonight.

Mets fanning Ichiro is nice.

Seems like Suzuki has been up all night.

Man, Yo-Yo got toyed with.

Bitchin'.

PLEASE STAND UP UNDER REVIEW, DOUBLE PLAY, PLEASE STAND UP UNDER REVIEW!

Intentionally walking a guy after getting to 3-2? That's not a lot of faith in your boy.

Gigolo in a tennis visor. Trying too hard. Meanwhile, Montero coming on early for the second straight night.

Nice drive, Ichiro. I'd guess about 80% of MLB parks don't hold that.

Two-base sacrifice. First time I ever saw that.

Kinda harsh throwing the debutante into a tie game in the sixth.

Cheapie hits but no way Bruce should be playing that deep against Gordon facing Syndergaard.

Leiter throwing the scroogie?

Lucas, you must find me ... A SHRUBBERY!

Should have been taking 3-0, man. And Bruce should have been tagging on that fly.

Confortage with the bases hammered. Let's make a party.

Last appeared in a game for the Mets on September 13, 2014. Became a free agent on November 6, 2015, but hasn't gotten another contract until now, finally, as noted in the Roster 2017 thread, signing with the Sussex County Miners of the Canadian American Association. Good for him. But this finally marks his official exit from the organization, and that's when the memories come, distant as they may be. I remember him getting a win in his first outing against his former team. I remember Lunchie remarking upon his acquisition* that if "Vic Black" isn't the name of a future closer, then he don't know what. *Black was the PtBNL in the trade that sent Marlon Byrd and John Buck to the Bucs for Dilson Herrera and a PtBNL.

Looks more like the Mets lose Black.

If you're going to do the pitcher-batting-eighth thing, I'd go with Reyes ninth.

I would've sent down Gsellman and called up Goeddel also. Tonight's game could go extries also.

Four. Apart from their opening day lineup, they have Conforto, Lagares, Flores, and Rivera.
