    I loved his sheepish grin to Kelly Johnson after Johnson hit the home run to bail him out. I have a feeling Conforto will be a fave very soon. Does nothing but hit.

Conforto playing regularly will, I think, offset some of the loss of Cespedes, but I still think they'll need to bring someone in. And trading Matt Harvey may be the way to do it. Yes. Someone with reasonable power would be nice. But then they'll need another pitcher. Wheeler won't be back until the second half, barring any setbacks. So you'll have deGrom, Syndegaard, Matz, Niese (if he gets his act together) and a mystery fifth starter. Do you take the risk of bringing back Colon in his age-43 year? You get the feeling he wouldn't mind.

    This team gives me chills.

    We got here because the rest of the NL East is terrible. I mean, REALLY terrible. Even when they couldn't hit their way out of a brown paper bag, they were beating up on the bad teams, while holding their own with the Nats. They were a .500 team that was in contention because the Nats couldn't get out of their own way. On July 30th, they were 52-50 but only 3 games out after dropping a crushing 8-7 loss to the Padres. But even at their worst, they never fell more than 4.5 games behind the Nats this season. Now once they got everybody back and added Cespedes, Johnson, Uribe and Conforto, they took off. 20-8 in August. The Nats stayed stuck in second gear while the Mets blew past them. Pretty simple.

    I rarely dance on the furniture. But I did last night.

    Yeah, I've lurked there a bit. Passionate fans who are ready to explode. The shift from 'all right!' to 'WTF??' to 'I can't take this any more' to 'Matt Williams is an idiot' to 'I'm never watching this team again' strikes some familiar chords. But boy, a fun read when you're on the winning side.

    I am irrationally exuberant.

    Good job, Clippy.

    6 more outs, guys.

    Omir Santos in the on-deck circle!

    Reed kicks seventh inning butt. Now go to town on Paps, boys.
  17. Lefty Specialist
    Well, just, wow.....
  18. Lefty Specialist
    Ummm.....tying run at the plate? And it's Cespedes? And Storen coming in to face him?
  19. Lefty Specialist
    Cespedes was just too casual on that one. It's a flaw in his game- he's immensely talented but he can come up short on the 'fundies' as Keith would say.
  20. Lefty Specialist
    Okay, shut Harvey down NOW.

Allowing for that downside may be worth it to him at this point, but it's a calculated maneuver and the Mets may certainly have paid something for the honor. Cespedes' new manservant- Danny Muno.

    Turds: Cancelling out Wright HR's since 2015.

    Well, not going well for [crossout:28wbx9fy]Boras[/crossout:28wbx9fy] Harvey tonight.

In fact we've gotten lucky on a bunch of occasions this season in missing aces. That's a big deal. When he's pitched, he's been lights out. And if the Marlins can cuff the Mets around, the least they can do is cuff around the Nats a bit, too.
