If my calculations are correct, the current Mets all-time winning percentage is .4789308. They haven't advanced their all-time winning percentage since 2009, which makes sense if you think about it. While they are trending in the right direction from their inauspicious .000 beginning, they are unlikely to advance their all-time winning percentage this season. Milestone advancements (if you consider turning over the hundredths digit in your winning percentage a milestone advancement) are below. Unsurprisingly, a good chunk of those advancements came in 1962.

Lucas Duda's back reportedly seized up, necessitating his removal from this evening's game. Mets allegedly plan to give him tomorrow off and re-evaluate him Sunday. But needing another pitcher might force their hand.

The Vegans re-take first with a resounding 8�3 win over the all-round excellent Omaha Storm Chasers, as the red hot (previously, anyhow) El Paso Chihuahuas fall 7�0 to the Memphis Redbirds. Travis Tajeiron wasn't about to let Yoenis Cespedes grab all the headlines, and so he hit three homers of his own, his 21st through 23rd on the season. He's officially a candidate for PCLMVP, even though Wally sometimes bats him eighth. Darin Gorski gets the win with one inning each of scoreless relief from Zach Thornton, Alex Torres, and Chasen Bradford, any one of whom might be a Met by the time you wake this morning.

So, for all the bullpen pinching, this guy hasn't gotten a call since the Pittsburg(h) series.

Mets continue to gather up wandering souls, to let them know they don't have to live like a refugee. This latest addition is a Cal-Davis grad who started 10 games this summer for Schaumberg in the Pioneer League.

Cespedes' stat sheet includes two positions played.

Fonzie, your legacy is secure. Now let's win. And yeah, let Clippard start the inning.

Somebody poke that man/woman in the Phillies hat. I'm getting creeped out.

Oh, deesnutz, that ball four was bogus.

15 total bases.

Man, does this Kahnle guy look like an eighties throwback or what? He should be named an honorary 1993 Phil, who were culturally 80s themselves.

10�3 is your final. Kiss your local beermaker.

He's been FAR better against lefties than Granderson. But he may be needed at first now.

Terry HAS gotten the same treatment. What makes it weird is that he didn't seem to be asking the ump who made the call, whose decision it should be.

That 'uz ball four, Muff.

"The play under review brought to you by Mazda: Driving Matters... but apparently the rules don't."

Let him have it, Keith!

Come on, Muh, set the table.

Ouch, you can see the lump on Colon's forearm.
