Be well, ashie. Blessings to your mom.

If you thought the Calypso Mets movement ended with The Duke of Iron, brother, think again. [YOUTUBE]AffhY0UITgQ[/YOUTUBE] And the glorious previous record, for reference and posterity. [YOUTUBE]xh4ci5-63YI[/YOUTUBE]

No, they haven't I don't know who you are quoting.

The 1984 game featuring game-tying homers in both the ninth and the tenth, both by Sandberg, both off of Bruce Sutter, leading to a walkoff Cubs in in the eleventh, leading Whitey Herzog to call Sandberg the best player he'd ever seen.

I do not understand the continued griping (during a winning streak) about the players who sit, while never mentioning which player they should be replacing. The team has to fit Acuña, Baty, Marte, Mauricio, McNeil, Taylor, and Vientos into four positions. Seven into four means three have to sit. All except Taylor and Acoonie are hitting, And Acuña hasn't exactly been a stiff. Taylor and Acuña still provide important defensive value. Taylor and Acuña nonetheless rightly play less than all the others. The lefties in this group are doing better, in general, against lefthanded pitchers than the righties. This group, by and large, has been outhitting the everyday players at the top of the lineup through a lot of this road trip. So who sits? Who, who, who? Because unless we want to start benching Alonso and Lindor, Nimmo and Soto, the answer is three of those seven guys.

Also, Todd Zeile had as engaging an evening behind the mic as any I can recall. He shifted nicely between prepared narratives and emerging ones, and offered perspectives that referenced "back when I played" accounts mixed in with "what I have observed since then." I was trying to recall why Zeile was referred to as "Z(ei)le" back on the MOFo, but then realized I don't know now and didn't know then.

All losses stink, and losses after midnight take a lot out of you, and walkoff losses are a kick to the gut, but I got to start threads for seven straight wins, mostly on the road. The Pads are a good team, and the ump took Soto out of the game. I think they can turn the page.

Of course.

The Mets now need to focus a bit on not losing Chris Devenski, but it is late July and everybody needs pitching. Maybe he becomes a Brave.

Wow, that is terrible. We also failed to give proper honor to Jeff Bittiger, perennial Mets prospect who had to go to another team to break through because Gooden/Darling/Fernandez/Aguilera/etc. all flew into the system and whizzed past him. Jeff was one hell of a lifer, spending the last nine years of his career pitching in The Northern League.
-
Pop will eat itself. Even as my team is depopulated, it is hard to summon memories of a guy who pitched one game, but he is a rare person gain entry to Club Medich — Mets pitchers who appeared in just one game and managed to take the loss.
-
Good night.
-
These Padres actually square when they bunt. How about Soto blowing the easy play and nailing the hard one?
-
I guess they play it by ear. The 10th is not yet guaranteed. If it does come to pass, Lindor is our magic runner.
-
Bartolo Mauricio will serve just fine.
-
We need Bartolo here.
-
Upside of this game is that, well, they have forced San Diego to use all the best pieces in their star-studded pen, and they still have one more chance. Downside is there seems to be bad blood brewing with the two teams and with the Mets and the ump. And also that they are losing.

The strike zone is starting to get magical.

Forunately they hid the ball in Nimmo's glove.

Feels like the only way to get the third out is a hidden-ball trick.
