They should be called the New York Melts because they always melt down and their leads always melt away.

Well, one of the true outcomes was inevitable. Unfortunately, it was the bad one.

After two throw-overs, might as well just walk to second.

Iglesias can be our hero, baby. I remember when he was a BIG prospect back in the day. He was involved in this deal: July 30, 2013: Traded as part of a 3-team trade by the Boston Red Sox to the Detroit Tigers. The Detroit Tigers sent Avisaíl García to the Chicago White Sox. The Detroit Tigers sent Brayan Villarreal to the Boston Red Sox. The Chicago White Sox sent Jake Peavy to the Boston Red Sox. The Boston Red Sox sent Cleuluis Rondon (minors), Frankie Montas and J.B. Wendelken to the Chicago White Sox.

Now foofy Bader comes up with his dorky shoulder shimmy and ridiculous pads.

That ball was Vien-TOAST!

Reyes, Guetterman and Jackson are all correct! Well done. Three new questions have been added. 1. I'm an ex-Met who was a very very extremely big key The assistant GM from Moneyball got the job thanks to me I also spent some time as a player crosstown I got plunked by an ex-Met that made me go down Who am I?

Bob Bailor is correct! Well done. A new question has been added, with hints for the rest. 1.

Mets still suck.

Oy.

Well, ninth inning. Here we go...

Never actually seen Torrens before. I swear, Venezuelans have some of the most European-looking Latin Americans. Former Met Ender Inciarte is another one. Francisco Cervelli also comes to mind.

Nunez is rockin' for now. These past couple years, the Mets have been really good at putting no-name relievers out there that kill it initially for at least a short while. Brigham: First 16 games—2.76 ERA, .130 BAA, 10.5 K/9 Hartwig: First 11 games—2.87 ERA Curtiss: First 6 games—1.23 ERA, .125 BAA Garrett: First 14 games of 2024—0.42 ERA, .169 BAA, 15.0 K/9 First 17 games of 2024—0.72 ERA, .195 BAA, 14.8 K/9 First 21 games of 2024—2.54 ERA, .229 BAA, 13.7 K/9 Reid-Foley: First 6 games of 2023—0.00 ERA, .100 BAA, 16.5 K/9 First 10 games of 2024—0.00 ERA, .037 BAA, 13.0 K/9 First 16 games of 2024—2.25 ERA, .196 BAA, 11.8 K/9 Coonrod: First 7 games—1.69 ERA, .063 BAA

I sincerely hope they're considering making McNeil trade deadline trade bait.

Wow! Martinez is good!

Boy, did Brandon need that. His second triple of the year.

Answering the unanswered: 1. Who am I? https://i.imgur.com/WoNVTru.png> Dick Schofield 2. This is the description from the back of an old baseball card. Who is it describing? "This player is no longer a pure power pitcher, but he can still reach back for "something extra" when he needs it. Among active pitchers, he ranks fifth in baserunners allowed per nine innings (10.69) and sixth in strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.89)." Hint: Remember, this is from the back of a baseball card, which might be 30 years old. Dwight Gooden 3. Before Hanley Ramirez broke the record in 2007, a one-time Met held the Marlins single-season record for runs scored. Who was it? Cliff Floyd 4. His mark has since been surpassed by multiple pitchers, having first been overtaken by Jason Jennings in 2006, but at one point a one-time Met held the Rockies career record for victories. Who held it before Jennings? Pedro Astacio 5. I was a Met not too long ago A pitcher who they thought could throw I did pretty well, sometimes so-so And now I'm an All-Star for our foe Who am I? Zack Wheeler New questions will be added shortly.

I'm catching up on Mets games. The Mets reeealllllly should trade Garrett now while he still has value. It's diminishing quickly. 10.13 ERA since May 16. 6.08 since the start of May.

The Mets have released Ji Man Choi.

Mets sign minor league reliever Jhosep Chirinos.

As long as they turn that tirade into a t-rade, I'll be happy.
