Oh, you sell Branden Wellington short when you describe him a an "'in-game promo entertainment guys." What he actually is is an Actor/Host/Model/Spoken Word Artist/@Mets InGame Host/@TravelChannel Alum.

Let's get Niewie going!

This is going to be a tough test. With all the pub the Mets have been getting, the Yankees are going to have plenty of bulletin board material.

That's what McGwire's 62nd looked like. A hard liner with topspin, that just somehow cut through the air and went out in about a second. It was supposed to be a deal, and yet, you couldn't not think that something was very wrong with the scene.

!!

In Kevin's second or third year, they went down to him with a sideline report, and it turned out to instead be a re-appearing Chris Cotter, filling in unannounced for the day. He finished his report with with a "Back to you, guys!" and Gary allowed two beats of silence to pass before saying, "Who the heck are you?"

Miami has pulled into a tie with the sinking Phils, and the tie is going to the Fish based on head-to-head play. San Diego has moved atop the Wild Card Standings, with Colorado right on their tail. This leaves the West looking like an ambiguous mishmash, with the leaders on a three-game skid and the last place Giants on a three-game run. But it allowed the Mets to knock the Braves out of the money for the time being. Hottish Cincinnati has passed DC and moved into a tie wtih Pittsburgh. The defending champs in San Francisco are starting to find their feet, pulling ahead of Philadelphia, which all may soon achieve. Brewrs got just their third win yesterday, and are drowing as much at the Mets are soaring.

Dumb misreading by me.

Another advantage he seemingly has is a mechanical soundness that suggests that the psychology of pressing won't mess up his swing. But it does seem to be messing up whatever modest plate discipline he has.

Congratulations to the Mets. Their win today not only ran their winning streak to 11, but it evened the team's record going back to Game 26 of the 1979 season. Why, that, you say, was just the day before! Well, right you are. Little do I have to tell you, but here I am doing it anyway, that the 1979 Mets did a lot of losing, and tended to get clobbered on West Coast trips. This particular clobberin' was of the 7-2 variety. Rookie Neil Allen started and exited after only two outs, with three Dodger runs already home, courtesy of solo homers from Davey Lopes, Reggie Smith, and Steve Garvey. He got relieved by fellow rookie and fellow future closer Jesse Orosco, who fared a little better but not a lot. It would be the last start of the season for the shell-shocked Allen. But Neil and Jess ought to be on the phone to Bartolo Colon thanking him for his work this afternoon, because despite their debacle, the Mets are even going back to that day. OE: Looking at the box score now, I want to go back in time and fire Torre. Or at least batting coach Dick Sisler. The last 20 Mets batters went down in order.

And here's hoping, if it does break that way, that it goes down after he's got all of his three-run, first-inning doubles out of his system.

Steve, you left out them issuing as press release for a scoreboard upgrade. I'm on my way home. Got to get to work on the Superman blog.

I'm starting to get a strange notion that continued flourishing by the team could be bad news for Murphy's tenure. It's dangerous to undermine team harmony by trading one of their longest-tenured players and last season's only All Star, but [list:1gacewwm][*:1gacewwm]He's slumpin'.[/*:m:1gacewwm] [*:1gacewwm]He's seemingly not with the program, offensively.[/*:m:1gacewwm] [*:1gacewwm]He's shown some serious unheadiness, defensively.[/*:m:1gacewwm] [*:1gacewwm]He's in his walk year.[/*:m:1gacewwm] [*:1gacewwm]They seem to have some ready-to-launch redundancy at his position.[/*:m:1gacewwm][/list:u:1gacewwm] I'm not advocating, but he could probably net a decent reliever.

There's nothing obnoxious about that slogan. The worst time to be a Mets fan is any time another Mets fan starts to go on about his alleged suffering. What a waste.

LOL, I mean you are being very territorial about this sort of thing. Rogers, I invented the term MLBS, did I not? Is it too much to ask folks not to be late-arriving, self-promoting, bandwagon-jumping, trash-talking tools that make the rest of us look bad? I think it is not. LOL, that slogan just brings up bad memories from a rather painful era for Met fans, including me. Most likely the least revered time period in Met history, one that hopefully has concluded. Are you really LOL-ing this much? A banner from 2006 at my house is bad because it "just brings bad memories from a rather painful era for Met fans, including me. Most likely the least revered time period in Met history, one that hopefully has concluded." And I'm the wet blanket.

Here's Rogers on Facebook this morning teaching me how to be positive.

Yeah, I'M the one who can't stand seeing the Mets in a positive light. You stick with that story.

Boom! Improving without transacting.

Feels like the 11th strikeout for Recker this afternutz.

Any chance we see Goeddels or Roebbels for the ninth?

The NL in 2015 is broken into four distinct tiers: there are the obvious division favorites, the Wild Card contenders, the Wild Card pretenders, and the Phillies. Ouch.

This may be the Murphiest game in Mets history.

Juggernaut.
