A win of great importance.

Ex-Met Guillermo Heredia enters the game as the tying run on first.

I have no nostalgia for the Phils' baby blues, but they can rock that maroon primary color forever, as far as I'm concerned. Let's go, Phillie bullpen!

LOL

If everybody want to pay me a few bucks, I'll procure a testing sample from the guy. I'm a truth-teller.

Nickname: "Swirvin' Irvin" [FIMG=400]https://whitecleatbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/imagn-images/2017/07/16885592.jpeg[/FIMG] He's sort of the guy they've needed to step up to fill the Bassitt void.

A scumdiculously corrupt Evangelical Prosperity Gospel pastor plans his comeback following a scandalous downfall that dare not speak its name. He and his wife, billed as the church's "first lady," invite a documentary crew to follow their path back to prominence, leading to some awkward strains as they grin with the love of Jesus and try to brush past the realities of the their downfall and their abandonment by their large congregation.

I was in the Army with a virulent SPhillies fan, and he tormented me about how the Mets couldn't beat Culp and Larry Jackson. I you're taking about mental health, I'm crazy about the Mets. Later Please STOP!!!! LOL

Should McNeil and or Nimmo need some time off, they needn't necessarily be placed on the injured list. The Mets can demote Vientos to add a guy if they want to be keep their options open on those two, but would rather have a lefty bat or a more experienced outfielder.. It's possible they could DFA Ruffage or Gore also. 1) They can use Escobar in the outfield as well, though he hasn't played there this season. Maybe Baty becomes magically healthy by tomorrow and he can play third and Escobar left. 2) Khalil Lee can play center, bats left, and has had a pretty rotten year. 3) Dom Smith bats lefty, has a shit-ton of experience, has beaucoups Metly bona fides, but doesn't fit in anywhere. Buck didn't seem interested in seeing him faking it in the outfield earlier in the season, and it's not like he's going to DH and force Vogelbach to find a glove. 4) Daniel Palka bats lefty, hits for power, has plenty of big league experience, and has had a strong year at AAA. He also isn't on the roster, and would be limited to corners. 5) Maybe Marte becomes magically healthy by tomorrow. Probably more likely than Baty, anyhow. 6) The craziest idea, but not necessarily the worst — call up Francisco Álvarez, make him your DH against lefties, and work Ruf into the outfield mix. 7) Travis Jankowski! He's still in the system! Or, maybe McNeil and Nimmo are fine by tomorrow. Anyhow, Jankowski, Álvarez, and Smitty are all in the Syracuse lineup tonight.

It was losing to the Ray Culps and Joey Amalfitanos that I never got used to. And that persists. The world isn't black and white. It never was. Ray Culp won 122 games. It's healthy to expect them all to be tough.

It's healthy to expect them all to be tough.

And it's Guillorme who gets to spike the ball in the end zone. Also, the '97 O's are suddenly within reach.

Not looking like Buck's strongest game.

There we go! Action on the PoBO Front! 　　Bryn Alderson 　　Billy Beane 　　Leigh Castergine 　　Donn Clendenon, Jr. 　　Terry Collins 　　Jon Daniels 　　John DePodesta 　　Billy Eppler 　　Theo Epstein 　　Davy Johnson 　　Dayton Moore 　　J.P. Ricciardi 　　David Stearns 　　Adam Rubin 　　Bobby Valentine 　　David Wright

Lunge bunting is bad. Nobody bunts right anymore. Nobody.

My bet was on the soy sausage. Lost a LOT on that race.

Brian Chicklo: "Jeff, are you sure you can still go? Let me get another look at that knee." Jeff McNeil: "Leave me alone. I'm FINE." Brandon Nimmo: "Jeff, you're no help to the team hurting yourself worse. That's why I came out." Jeff McNeil: "Yeah, and also, you're a big baby. You leave me alone, too."

Terrific play there, but he's looking like Gibson '88. And I don't mean Debbie.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: McNeil looking pretty gimpy. Do you take him out and put Ruf in the outfield? Or Gore? Gore, McCann, Ruf, and Vientos are the only position players on the bench. That's three perfectly viable options. I'm not sure I can support Buck's course of action here.

And it's appropriate that it's Cahna to carry the ball over the goal line.

Gotta get McKnee out of there.

I'm going to assume that Cahna talks shit in the MLB Fantasy Football Forum.

Nats done take the lead. PASS IT ON! And they lock the eight down with William Contreras getting thrown out at third!

It's the super-draining fields that cause outfielders to get their knees jammed into divots. Somebody's gonna tear up a leg on one of those plays.

One tick short of the modern, non-Ned Hanlon record.
