  1. Butto back for the 8th. Ride him hard and put him away wet.
  2. Some wasted opportunities in this game. Hope it doesn't bite them. Butto keeps Butto-ing. 2 2/3 very nice innings.
  3. If you bump McNeil out to RF, you put Iglesias at second. You don't bench him in favor of Baty. And if you don't play Baty, what's the point? Agreed with deep-sixing DJ. He's done virtually nothing.
  4. Well, it didn't take long for Maton to fit in with the rest of the bullpen, did it?
  5. Gary Cohen used every opportunity to insert things like 'feats of strength' and 'airing of grievances' into his play-by-play, because he knew Festa was going to be a tiny waterbug skittering across the pond of the Mets 2024 season, leaving little trace of his existence.
  6. Also, 21-10 in the Grimace Era.
  7. Nice to see JD get 3 hits as he'd been slumping. Alvarez got a full day off, which was nice. No need to use Diaz, but I'm a little pissed at Young fouling the nest badly enough that they had to bring Dedniel Nunez into a game with a 7-run lead. Impressed with Matos- K, K, pop-up and didn't seem to be fooling around out there.
  8. Totally awesome game. Took a while to get going, but once it did, fun. Of course the bullpun had to load the bases in the 8th AND 9th, but wriggled free. Hooky games are the best

Sounds like a good camp. I'll have him wave to you. Later Nice. I wish real life was like summer camp. I'll be the one in the LFGM shirt. Hot one today, make sure the kid stays hydrated.
  10. I'll be there in person with a work friend, playing hooky.
  11. I've thought about that too. Pete's going to want an awfully long contract, and Stearns may not want to give it to him.
  12. Al Roker, scheming dirtbag weatherman.
  13. Jake Diekman is up in the bullpen. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
  14. Hard to sustain rallies when you start them with two men out and no one on.

  16. Gary will be heartbroken. He loved to say 'churve'.
  17. If this team gets up 10-0, they should keep stealing, taking the extra base and trying to add on. If the other team complains, just say, "Have you SEEN our bullpen?"
  18. They had a chance to give Diaz a night off with a five-run lead, but no. Maybe they should entice Billy Wagner out of retirement.
  19. I liked that when Lindor hit that home run, both Darling and Murphy went 'Ohh!' simultaneously.
  20. They moved Wood up to third in the order. That didn't take long.
  21. Why? Iglesias has been hitting and plays marvelous defense at second (and third). Frankly, at this point Baty is insurance if something happens. He's certainly not taking the third base job away from Vientos. Baty's had numerous chances and hasn't really performed. He should be stashed quietly at Syracuse until a need arises. LBRWHIUWNH!!!! (Leave Baty Right Where He Is Unless We Need Him)
  22. Feels like it's hanging over my head, too. Tracky sez the missus is looking to upgrade.
  23. Gary pleading for bullpen help. Preaching to the choir, reverend.
