Durn. Coulda bounced a ball to the left and jogged home.

Can KJ squeeze?

ALL THREE!!

Bunt, Ruben. Or steal, Curtis. Or hit and run, Ruben and Curtis.

How do you say "�Yo la tengo!" in Italian?

Five innings in the bag. Would love to find a way to steal a second run.

Hey, Jimmy Rollins. Just don't.

The breeze is doing some beautiful things with deGrom's mane.

That was some weird nonchalantness with Gonzalez's toss to second to start that double play.

Plawake-up!

Streak this.

A single and a big break. Let's plate him with deGrom.

Man, this may be The Year of the Pitcher II, but it's also The Year They're Calling the High Strike.

Sit down, Rumpelstiltskin.

That calls for some hailing. I like how he hit a second, just to clear up any ambiguity that missed homer may have caused.

That's impressive: [list:3b45vs5u][*:3b45vs5u]They have exactly three automatic show-stopping killer tracks in their catalog, and they have the courage to spend two of them right out of the gate.[/*:m:3b45vs5u] [*:3b45vs5u]They use only one of their hugely popular but distressingly uncharacteristic and un-rocking late-eighties power ballads, and they bag the original arrangement in favor of an alternative version of that.[/*:m:3b45vs5u] [*:3b45vs5u]They dip into the Zeppelin catalog, but they don't do that "Stairway to Heaven" cover that got a zillion FB shares.[/*:m:3b45vs5u][/list:u:3b45vs5u] Sounds like Heart broke out as much as the Mets did last night. My only question is why do "Immigrant Song," when it underscores where you got that galloping bassline from "Barracuda" from? If you're going to do that, you might as well feature that shared element and merge them into a medley. Did Nancy do the full Ovation acoustic solo intro for "Crazy on You"?

Gwreck gets our last player: husky, short-time (58 PA) Sunday catcher and emergency (1 [perfect] IP) pitcher Rob Johnson.

Deron Johnson replaced Dick Sisler on Joe Torre's staff for the strike-shortened 1981 season. Swept out with everybody else following the season. Had DH'd for the A's in 1973 and helped them beat the Mets in the Series. Ended up dying at only 53.

That pop foul should tell you how easy bunting to the left side would be, Lucas. Nobody within dialing distance.

Let's stick Campbell behind the plate in the ninth.

Last time they scored this much at home, I was at the game at Shea with d'Kong, Fairy, and dgw. Valentin drove in seven in the first two innings.

I believe at 15 runs, all fans with a valid ticket stub can redeem it for a Ford Focus.

AHHH! How awful would a collision injury have been?

If Mattingly offered us a run tomorrow if we'd trade in eight tonight, you'd have to be tempted.
