One at a time or you want me to slam five cards down at once?

Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Amed Rosario DFA'd, he can take over first as we bench Alonso We could use him, but don't really have the Rosterio room. Starling Marte will be returning within a few days to bump asiide Ben Gamel. So unless we're ready to toss Tyrone Taylor overboard, the only place for Rosario is Syracurio.

For perhaps the last time ever, the Mets host the Oakland Athletics for a series. The Mets are starting Paul Blackburn, who has been a dependable edition since coming over from these very same A's. The A's aren't sure who they will start. Manager Connie Mack has only indicated that Lefty Grove is unavailable. The A's are coming off a victory over Toronto in a three-game series, culminating in a game-three victory where they beat the pants off of Chris Bassitt, a previous transfer from the Athletics to the Mets, sort of making him the Paul Blackburn of the Showalter Era. The A's boast of a roster that includes former Met minor-league castoff Michel Otañez in the bullpen, Mike Cameron's son Daz in the outfield, and a catcher named Shea. Manager Mark Scott prefers you pronounce his name in Pig Latin.

No, that's not what I wrote.

Maybe somebody needs to ask the Harris-Walz Campaign where they stand on media conglomeration.

Well, I think all competitors, when measured against the arc of time and history, will trend toward mediocrity. If the competition doesn't get you, time and rot and fatigue will. If you can't get the competition, eventually time and rot and fatigue will catch up with them for you. What makes it interesting is that everyday is a struggle against that trend, and so we revel in how long we and the heroes we allow to embody us can sustain that struggle. This series was a victory for Seattle. Maybe, at another time and place, it might be a victory for the Mets. But time and rot and fatigue were always going to win. Those black pants, tho'.

Two former YGB signatures come to mind. 　　YNaGaYTYAWYW. YNaBaYTYAWYL. 　　La stagione è lunga e dura.

Cubbage occupies the same psychic room in my head that houses John Denver and Robbie Rist. Overtly bespectacled, comfortably goofy, sun-kissed, squinty, tousled-but-straight-haired blondes of the seventies. Paul Williams occasionally wanders into the room, but is disappointed to find only soft-drinks available, and he leaves. In fact, I'd be disappointed if he didn't play a little guitar himself, seeing how he's the guitarist in a band of interim Mets managers that also exists only in my head, with Salty Parker on bass and Frank Howard on drums. The real star of the outfit is keyboardist Roy McMillan.

McNeil's homer broke open the wrong dam.

Ryne Stanek was named after Ryne Sandberg, who was named after Ryne Duren, and ... I'm pretty sure that chain ends here.

Stanek putting on a clinic here. Just not the helpful kind of clinic.

=kcmets post_id=166002 time=1723423068 user_id=53] I'm almost rooting for them not to score a run.

Faceplant run, followed by a gargantuan homer. Not our weekend.

I don't know if it's the twilight or what, but the radio guys have been blowing a lot of calls.

Seattle's defense has been blessed by Willie Mays.

A ball in play! And it sneaks through for a hit!!

I'm less concerned about a swoon than about the game itself, as the 5-6-7 Mets strike out in order.

Keith Raad (or the other guy) just called Randy Arozarena "Orazoreno." He got it right when Arozarena got caught moments later.

Maybe we'll score, but first we're going to strand two in each of the last two innings.

[MetsBlue]Other Possible Specialty One-Offs[/MetsBlue] The Parks & Rec Classic — Yankees and Mets alternate as host team from year to year in alternating Central Park locations (North Meadow, Great Lawn, Heckscher Ballfields) hosting out-of-towners, after playing each other the first year. Future years could move the festivities to Van Cortland Park, Prospect Park, Astoria Park, Randall's Island, etc. The Pacific Classic — played on a sea platform, with the stands erected on aircraft carriers and destroyers anchored around the perimeter. Elysian Fields Classic — I realize the site is long-since paved over with asphalt and buildings, but Hoboken could do the world a favor by re-establishing the earliest-known baseball diamond in America. The National Parks Classic — played year to year at the foot of a glacier in Alaska, or against a backdrop of a herd of buffalo grazing well beyond the rightfield wall the Badlands, on Governor's Island in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, at the rim of The Grand Canyon, begging Francisco Álvarez to deposit a ball at the bottom. The potential for environmental degradation is enormous, but that's why smart people from The National Parks would be involved. The Boston Common Classic — self-explanatory! The Aloha Classic — baseball in Waikiki! The Antarctica Classic — self-explanatory! The Border Classic — Half the ballfield is in the United States and half is in Mexico! The Democracy Classic — The Nats host visiting teams from year to year on the lawn of the US Capitol. Members of Congress attend, forced to sit together in regular old seats! The Johnny Cash Prison Yard Classic — Folsom, Attica, Angola — the most famous prisons get a spotlight as they host MLB baseball in their prison yards. The country is reminded that these people exist, and spotlights are put on the conditions of the prisoners. The Peace Corps Classic — Played in developing countries that host Peace Corps missions. MLB pays for the establishment of a professional-quality park and outfits a baseball developmental program in each of these nations. Mt. Vernon! Graceland! Dollywood! Ft. McHenry! Cape Canaveral!! Let's build some ballfields!

In the past, when Nimmo has blown steamy chunks, he still can be counted on to get his walks. But he's kind of traded love for glory, and forsaken his foundational skill for more extra-base power. That looked gorgeous for a few weeks there, but now that the extra-base hits aren't coming, and the foundation has been unmade, it's hard to justify him being out there at all. I'm afraid a similar thing may be happening with Jeff McNeil and his foundational skills, but he was in the wilderness so long that he had to remake himself. I'm thinking maybe McNeil needs to be bumped up to Nimmo's two-hole. Whether or not you're gonna keep Brandon in the lineup every day, bat him eighth or ninth for a few games. Every failed at-bat of his seems to arrive at (and sink) the faintest hint of a rally, so he's trying to straighten his shit out under a huge weight. He comes up empty and the Mets seemingly don't get another chance for three innings.

It'd be gratifying just to push a run across.

I'd give Jorge Polanco a Golden Glove for this game alone, except he doesn't really use his glove.

Let's call up Baty mid-game!
