Wow, 4 HRs in his first 41 games as a Met. And 4 in the last 6 games. Wow.

Do we all collectively forgive Bruce yet?

Cabrera is sooooo smooth. 2-1 Mets

With our schedule including two extremely compelling games we don’t want our fans to miss any of the thrilling action. So for the first time ever, instead of airing just one MLB game you’ll be getting the best of BOTH! This Saturday in non-home territory markets only FOX Sports will shift between both baseball games so that viewers can see key moments of each important contest. This concept, which we’ve dubbed “Whip Around,” will have the non-home territory markets start on the NYM @ PHL game and then shift to PIT @ STL at a pivotal moment. At some point, those same markets will go back to the NYM @ PHL game for a key situation. The shifting between the two games could occur multiple times. Please follow the previously provided formats, all local commercial breaks will air in their normal slots. BS

I'm glad others also think that this was unacceptable on a number of levels. Grandy up with Yo on 1st. 2 out. 1-0 City Of Brotherly Love

Instead of my usual bitching Ill go with: Yay, I get to listen to Howie for the next 3 games.

Niiiiiiiiiiice. [tweet:1vfuei9b] [/tweet:1vfuei9b]

I still want to think D'Arnaud has a better career ahead of him, but there's no way he's been better than Rivera this year. Agreed. d'Arnaud has to drop two things. His little wrist cock with the bat as the pitch comes in and his little wrist cock right before the throws a ball. d'arnaud's problem is he has a wrist cock.

Thor also is part of the team MVP conversation. I really thought it was a slam dunk for Cabrera. People are wacky tho, so I will do a poll after the last game of the season. Bleacher Report makes their choice: New York Mets: Noah Syndergaard Named Team MVP http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/new-york-mets-noah-syndergaard-named-team-mvp-093016?cmpid=feed:-sports-CQ-RSS-Feed The way this year has been going, I don't want to get into this until after the regular season. For me it's such a tight race between Cespedes and Cabrera (Cabby w/a slight lead) that either could have a great series in Philly and walk away with it.

Bummer. I remember his 73 airbrushed Topps card more than anything I recall about him. I'd make a memorial card but there are no decent photos of him out there. RIP Mr. Hennigan.

Giants won. But we got this. We're gonna turn The Bandbox into The Launching Grounds.

And now it's becoming apparent that the ground rules say that a ball hitting where that one hit should have been a GR double but that the Reds -- due to crowd noise making them unable to hear their dugout phone they claim -- didn't notify the umps quickly enough after the play that they were thinking of challenging. To which I respond: NOW we're enforcing a time rule on challenges?!?! haha, they only enforce it for the last out. How about how the umps call their own huddles when they "want to get it right". This was huddleworthy. Something really stinks about this. 2-2 in SF after 4.

I'm always thinking in the back of my mind (due to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the Captain) who is going to be our next regular third baseman. No matter how it shakes out we will need one more sooner than later. For the longest time, from early 2015, Matt Reynolds was my front-runner. Walker and Johnson muddied things up but until they put in some more time they have been rent-a-players as far as I'm concerned. Reyes....well, if David does return and stay on the field this will muddy up things and I'm not sure if it would be good or bad. It's a can of worms for another thread (re:development of these new players) but if Reyes can hit like he has been in 2017, he'll have to play. I'm assuming Cabrera is still our shortstop. I've said before, even though I'm a huge fan of Reyes I think that shortstop now belongs to Asdrubal, at least as long as he wants it (and can do the job, of course. His fielding had amazed me. Still, it would seem more logical to have Cabs at 2nd & Reyes at short). Back to our future third baseman, I'm talking who from within the organization. Cause that's the way I usually prefer it. Since TJ came up he quietly passed Reynolds in my third base thinking. It all hinges on his arm. I have to see him throwing more, because I thought he had an odd way of throwing his first few games. I have not noticed this throwing thing recently. I think there's a good chance this guy could be the one.

On a play where there is any question, and this was certainly one, the umps should just do their job and wait to see if there is a protest. At least look at the bench/manager to see if there's a possibility of one. What, was there a swingin' ump party after the game or something? WTF?

HahnSolo wrote: It hit the back wall pretty clearly I thought. That makes it a ground rule double. I think it ought to be 2nd and 3rd. But never mind what I think. How do the umps just leave the field leaving the Reds with no ability to challenge? Did the Reds have a challenge left? I didn't watch the entire game. If they had one left then they have to pick this game up and finish it. This is pretty preposterous. OE: according to MLBtv, it's ovah!

The Reds might want to have this reviewed but the umps have left the field.

Wow. Fuck you fat ass. Fuck you Reds. Cards walk-off in the 9th. Molina RBI double. Reds should have had Carpenter at the plate, I feel, but they bungled their shit. Might be reviewed. Talk of it possibly being a ground rule double.

[fimg=200:3e76s4rp]http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/cin/images/fan_forum/y2010/letsgoreds_sign_310.gif[/fimg:3e76s4rp] Cards get a man on with 1 out in the bottom of the 9th. Grichuk up. 24 dingers. Hmm.

Reds tie it 3-3 with 2 out in the 9th!! yayoooeeeeyeaaaa.

Reds score in the 8th. 1 on, no out. 3-2 Cards.
