Not looking good in Atlanta right now.

Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit, he got a hit!

J.D. Martinez is batting! Everyone get in here! (LOL, j/k)

Bottom of the 8th in Atlanta. Braves have Ozuna, Olson and Soler coming up. They're trailing 4-2. Fingers, toes and all other possible appendages crossed.

That was dicey!

It is Mickey Callaway, well done!

I'll post the other correct answer promptly at 5:30 if no one gets it.

Harrelson is right, Frazier had a .488 winning percentage with the club.

The following Mets managers have a .500 or better career winning percentage with the club: Davey Johnson Carlos Mendoza Willie Randolph Buck Showalter Bobby Valentine Gil Hodges ? ? Can you name the two that are missing?

D-Backs up 9-2 now.

At the exact moment, Carlos Mendoza has the second-best career winning percentage of all Mets managers, behind just Davey Johnson.

D-Backs scored again, up 8-2.

Welp, Padres scored a run, at least. Now down 7-2.

Padres have something cooking. Man on second, no outs, Tatis batting.

Diamondbacks scored again.

Good enough!

Time for a sland gram.

Braves scored, now down 4-2. Bottom of Padres lineup batting, don't expect much from them right now.

Royals up 4-1.

Diamondbacks are up 2-1. Braves are losing 3-1.

Martinez was 0-for-34 before that hit I think. 1-for-38. 2-for-41. 3-for-51. 11-for-82. He's hit .166 since August 1. He sucks. At least he made himself useful by scoring.

Sasser and Franco are correct. #3 isn't Butler, the correct answer is in the Hall of Fame. #1 isn't David West, the correct answer has a tilde in his surname. Two new questions have been added. 1. From the back of a baseball card: "This player was a solid middle man for the Mets in '90 after coming over from the Dodgers in the off-season. A very slow worker on the mound, he throws a fastball in the 90s and an excellent curve. It took this player nearly three years to re-learn how to pitch without relying on sheer power after he was felled by arm troubles in '85. He was a starter when he first came up to the majors and in '84, he led the National League with a 2.48 ERA. "He's a veteran who knows how to close the door," said Dodger coach Ron Perranoski. "With this player, you're seeing consistency." Who am I? Hint: Pitched for the Mets in 1990 and 1991. 2. I was an All-Star! I won a Gold Glove! What else can you ask for? What isn't there to love? So how good was I with New York? Go ahead, take your bets! I won one hundred-plus times But was a loser with the Mets But don't think I was all bad, Oh, please don't think that poorly of me For New York in 1965, My mark was still below three Who am I? 3. Who is the former Met who holds the major league record for most consecutive seasons playing 150-plus games? 4. Who am I? https://i.imgur.com/OXVW1qn.png> 5. From the back of a baseball card: "This player is a valuable utility player for the Mets. He started the '90 season as the team's regular center fielder, but lost his starter's spot in May when the Mets decided to platoon Daryl Boston and Mark Carreon in center. Aggressive and a hard-nosed hustler, this player then showed his worth to the team by filling in all over the infield. He is a line-drive hitter who sprays the ball to all fields with excellent bat control. This player is also an excellent bunter and has lots of speed on the bases. By mid-July, he was batting .295 and ranked second on the Mets with 13 SBs. 'The guy's a winning ballplayer,' said VP Joe McIlvaine. 'He does things that don't appear in the box score.'" Who am I?

I hope the Mets win.

"For the past five seasons, this player ranked as one of the top relievers in the league. A feisty southpaw with a stocky build, he mixes a sinking fastball with a wicked changeup that breaks like a screwball to get batters to hit the ball on the ground. He is as tough on righthanded batters as he is on lefties. Before joining the Mets in '90, this player was the ace closer in the Reds bullpen. In '88, he ranked first in the NL with 39 saves in 42 opportunities and allowed only a .198 BA against him. In '89, this player was third in the league with 32 saves in 39 opportunities. Three times he was picked for the All-Star Game and he set a team record with 148 saves in his six seasons with Cincinnati." 5.
