    If Harvey goes along with this, the fans are going to turn on HIM. The Mets have been talking about this IN PUBLIC for the entire year. Boras could have said something in June or July but chose not to. He's doing it now to put the screws to the Mets. How did limiting Strasburg's innings work out? He's been injury-free ever since, right? If they insist on the 180 limit, shut him down right now and go with a 5-man rotation. Fuck Boras.

    Boy, the Braves suck big-time.

Yeah, because Terry wants to see if he can 'get him going'. Campbell's days of batting cleanup are SO over. He's just here to be a body you throw into blowouts or to pinch-hit in the 18th inning.

    Nola getting Katrina-ed.

    We really need to see how things shake out down the stretch. Injuries are always a possibility. If the post-season were to start today, Niese would be left without a chair. But we haven't seen Matz throw a pitch in the bigs in two months. We're all assuming he'll be lights out, but he might not be. Two weeks ago I was ready to give Colon a basket of flowers and a ticket home. Suddenly he's sharp again. So there's still a month of ebb and flow here. Sadly, you don't get the feeling Parnell's going to put it together, though, and will be on the outside looking in. Reed/Clippard/Familia are locked in as the 7/8/9 guys. The rest of 'em, it's Hunger Games time.

    Benjamin Grimm wrote: Okay, the Mets were down 6-0, and Terry probably had Parnell warming up because a game with a six-run deficit is a realistic time to give him an inning to see what he can do. But when the Mets scored four runs, Terry should have shifted gears. It's now a two-run game, and momentum is in the Mets favor, but Terry brings in a pitcher who had a 7.71 ERA in August. When that doesn't work out, he substitutes a pitcher who had a 12.86 ERA in August. The third pitcher of the inning is a guy who had a 5.91 ERA in August. He was managing that inning like a guy who had money on the Phillies. Well, it's a good point. Garbage time is when you should get Parnell up, and they were looking at 4 innings to fill. But he should have shifted. One thing I've always noticed is that Terry doesn't like not bringing players in after they've warmed up for a while. That's the last we'll see of Bobby P in any kind of leveraged situation, methinks.

    Nats-Cards is the ESPN game tonight, so you can get your schadenfreude in real time....
  8. Lefty Specialist
    Man, on a night where they get the stuffing kicked out of them by the Phillies, their magic number goes down. Nats boards are hovering somewhere between suicidal and homicidal.

    I hate beards.
  10. Lefty Specialist
    Boy, when Cespedes hits 'em, they stay hit.
  11. Lefty Specialist
    Again, Niese lets an inning get away from him. It's why I don't want him starting in the postseason.
  12. Lefty Specialist
    This is all Geno's fault.
  13. Lefty Specialist
    I DON'T CARE WHAT GENO AUREMMIA THINKS ABOUT ANYTHING. GET HIM OFF.
  14. Lefty Specialist
    I just want them to be 4 ahead when the Nats come to town that final weekend.
  15. Lefty Specialist
    OK, then a magic number of 1. Tom Glavine still haunts my dreams.
  16. Lefty Specialist
    And parking is $22.
  17. Lefty Specialist
    'Collapse-resistant lead'. I don't know where that line is, short of a magic number of zero.

They could snag the East, but that would require the season-long cooperation of the Nationals, which I don't think is going to happen. I'd expect them to fall out of first place by the end of June. They'll have their best year since 2008, but they won't make the playoffs. Well, I stand by what I said, kind of. They won't get the wild card, and they HAVE gotten the season-long cooperation of the Nationals, something I never expected. And it certainly will be the best season since 2008.

It IS horrible. First of all it sounds like a drunken lounge singer, and then squeezing 'Zenga's LatinAsian cuisine' into 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' is something beyond sacriligeous. They should play that song during the seventh-inning stretch, though, just to mess with people's heads. And I'm guessing the LatinAsian cuisine must have really sucked.
  20. Lefty Specialist
    Really. These are the times when we all have to suck it up and root for the Cardinals. (Well, except for Yadier F. Molina. I mean, I can only go so far.)
  21. Lefty Specialist
    Whew.
  22. Lefty Specialist
    Waiting to exhale.
  23. Lefty Specialist
    Boy, Colon suddenly the best pitcher on the staff over the past two turns.
  24. Lefty Specialist
    Crucial single by Phat Boy before that GrandyBoom.
  25. Lefty Specialist
    Those Great Danes aren't going to fit in that Honda CRV either, #clueless idiot.
