World War II guy gets VotG.

I'm going to invite Iglesias to go dancing next weekend. Because he likes to boogie.

I'm going to invite José Iglesias to my home this autumn. Because he likes to rake.

Well, the big lummox was going to get his sooner or later. May payback be swift and unsettling.

More notably perhaps, Lindor continues to not be shortstopping. Marte is a career .375 / .444 / .438 // .882 in 18 career plate appearances vs. Ranger Suarez.

Yesterday's loss certainly wasn't without harm. Among other things, the Mets lost a share of the second Wild Card slot, bringing the need to TCB against the Braves more deeply into focus. First order of business, of course, is winning today. If they are to chase the big prize, then they are likely to meet the Phils again.

I just wish I could check José Azocar more than once.

Sometimes, that's kind of how I feel about life.

Nitz.

Let's get Eddy the win.

Alonso should be pitching here.

Two out in the bottom of the seventh is a good time to put Lindor in.

J.D. = oh-for-30

Alonso missed a chance to start a Memories of Christopher Sanchez thread.

Well, I guess it's the Mets turn to pour some comeback juice.

Sheesh, lotta Phillie hits thus far.

Man, Phillie has come-from-behind bats.

Peterson pounding the zone is sweet. (Damn, now everything I type reads like a line from one of Diddy's sex parties.)

You rarely see a wild pitch so wild that the catcher fails to catch it twice.

It got a "Great Googily Moogily!!" out of Gary.

Christopher Sanchez, meet José Iglesias.

I can hardly guess what we'll get going forward, but Acuña's at-bats have been positively Lindovian. The defense has been mostly there also. Amazingly, he has yet to attempt a steal.

Catchers don't play every day, and the Mets have two good ones.

I kind of trust percentages, but I don't trust ESPN.
