There's nothing about the Mets offense that it should be made feeble by losing Guillorme and Nido.

And great job by Lee getting him anyway.

Great job working his way back into this at-bat by McNoogies.

I'm telling you — bunt like maniacs. They'll never see it coming.

I'm calling for the Mets to bunt for hits, if only to remember what contact is like.

My browser wouldn't blow it up with a zoom-in. All the other elements of the page enbiggened, but not the puzzle.

"Nogo, we need some length here. Try to conserve your bullets." "I'll see what I can do." /two-pitches_two-outs

The Mets defensive strategy is to put Acuña on base and throw him out.

"Rock 'n' Roll All Night" played between the fourth and the fifth innings, and I'm thinking, "Hey, Cobb County, get your own crappy band! KISS is OUR crappy band!"

Nobody even going to the mound to settle him down.

Oh, dear, R.J. is getting pin-cushioned.

Perez is a secret weapon on defense.

Welcome back to the Enbiggened Leagues, R.J.

More importantly, what the hell is going on with Taijuan Walker?

It looked kinda small on my screen, but I was able to work it out.

Baty voters, please step forward and collect your prizes.

Three called third strikes on underwhelming fastballs in the second. Morton has the power to cloud men's minds.

Yesterday, Marrero and Perez make their debut, and today they crack the lineup.

Unless we're speaking of different versions, "Crawling from the Wreckage" appeared on Dave Edmunds' Repeat When Necessary, which was produced Edmunds himself. Let's listen! [media=youtube]IPI8RHfL5UY[/media]

I was so thinking as well.

If Carrasco hits the injured list, the Mets might be in a spot where they could call up somebody else. They might have to add two pitchers for Sunday's doubleheader in Phillie, but they have four games until then. They might end up starting Peterson and Williams that day. So much for Subtle Distinctions Bring Clean Work.

Sure, but there's that taxi squad thingie.

Vote! But don't forget McNeilio's 4-for-4!
