Fucking hell guys. Every one of these games is a goddamned blessing. This shit ain't over. And even if it turns out that our run is over, it's been a fucking joy. Who the fuck had tired for the wild card with the braves heading into the last games of the season on their bingo board? Especially with where this team was at the end of May. If we get in. Great. If not. Fucking awesome ride. Lfgm, let's go!

Boy the Mets are really metsing this game up. Somebody call a team meeting and get these guys out there having fun again.

Wow. That was a terrible call. I've not been happy with his zone one bit. Twice he ended an inning with that nonsense

Nasty pitch by wheeler to get iggy. Yeesh.

Acuna. Alvarez. What do our bullpen options look like? Temped to go fill the pen with the rest of our rotation. And maybe drop jd.

lol @ lindor with the yellow card. Wtf is that all about?!

Hey I like this acuna kid

yeah... i mean, vientos was being prepped in the stable in case one of the horses on the line threw it's jockey. iglesias was chomping on carrots & crab apples out in the back fields chasing mares and playing tag with the colts.

Also if there were criminal shenanigans there are better places to report that this. all of it. especially the last.

should i post an unverifiably vauge unspecific anonymous accusation of presumably date rape or otherwise sexual assault to my fun and authoritative fan site? hmm.... yeah, man, i don't think you want to go down that road. maybe a bunch of old dudes isn't the right arbiter on this topic, but i'd steer clear of it if you can, since you have the ability to moderate things.

Spencer Horwitz is the grandson of long time Mets PR director Jay Horwitz. Later https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Horwitzwikipedia sez this isn't so. jay's tweeted it out as a joke when spencer was called up to the blue jays after they'd both been on team israel together (jay as pr director, spencer as player) dang. edgy beat me to it....

He had his advocates, but I don't remember anybody ever saying that when Vientos arrives, we're all going to be drinking champagne with every meal and farting through silk undies. i double up on the silk undies to help keep the farts in.

if you're looking at fWAR, not playing defense is already factored into the calculation. currently ohtani is issued a 14 run demerit for sipping martinis, whereas lindor has a 15.7 run credit to his balance. this effectively evens out the offensive difference between the two players, 56.5 runs vs 27.9 lindor currently has a statistically irrelevant edge in fWAR at 6.6 to 6.4 bbref has lower emphasis on defense it seems, as ohtani is given a -11 run demerit to lindor's +10 credit, leading to ohtani's 6.7 to 6.0 bWAR advantage. i think fWAR's defensive metrics are held to a higher regard than bWAR, but i may be mistaken. i think the mets need to make the playoffs for lindor to have a real shot at the mvp, and even then it might not be enough. lindor would need to have a hell of a hot streak down the stretch to propel the team. threatening a 50-50 season while also being in the triple crown and triple slash crown hunt on a first place team is pretty damned tough to beat. especially with all those martinis sloshing around in his belly.

man, brazoban just had no desire to throw strikes, did he?

Sitting in petco, I notice, boy these padres fans really dislike Jesse winker. Does he just piss off -every- opposing fanbase, or is there something in particular he's done to the friars?

scooter is available, apparently. i wouldn't mind bringing him back if the cost were pretty reasonable.

**** it. I’ll give it an 8 as well. Ack ack!

is this some kind of sports memorabilia auction, because if so, how much for the girl in teh ring? if not... what the fuck is up with teh girl in the ring? is this some sort of super-expensive rich-people thing that i'm just too ordinary to understand? also, wow. pete dances about exactly like i would expect a very white polar bear to dance. and dresses the part. lfgm. omg.

that's true. fox does a good job of showing baseball. not the best listen, though. better than whatever the fuck espn thinks we want to hear.

one of the best things about watching mets games, aside from getting to listen to gary keith and ron, is getting to actually watch the way mets games are shot. they do it better than anyone else i've watched. and certainly a fuck-ton better than any of the national broadcasts.

I voted Rickey because, other than bonds and arid and Clemens, it's Rickey. And then probably Schmidt. But it really should be bonds. Or at least it coulda been
