Yeah, friends in funny uniforms for this series include Clippard and Ollie Perez in the pen, Kevin Plawecki behind the plate.

Well, those same anouncers would say that dirty statistics shouldn't get in the way of the LOST ART of color commentary

It's pretty intuitive if you consider the ballooning strikeout rate. I think this might be the game Sewald gets his win.

Maybe. But there are also fewer 160 lb middle infielders who had trouble getting the ball out of the infield. And, if things are really down these days, just tell me what the numbers say. Don't take it personally but I'm not taking your (meaning: announcers) word for it just because you say so.

Best BA in MLB since the ASB ... so, no. So the Injuns IW'd Alonso following the Sac Bunt (1-out/runner on 2nd) which was followed by Conforto essentially switching places with him on the non-GiDP And then seeing as how Conforto eventually scored the winning run, I'd say that their strategy of putting the winning run on base pretty much backfired on them.

Yup, hadn't hit a fair ball all night (K, Foul-out, K, K). And it's not like you're walking him to get to a LHB to face the lefty Hand (well, I guess they were w/Conforto but they still had to face at least one more batter) Instead they had to face the leading BA in the second half and a guy who kills LHPs

I can think of no finer victory cigar/rally mascot. Dude has been emblematic of the team's likability/can-do exuberance since ST, where he best-bro'd his biggest rival for playing time (and the guy whose continued success will still likely push him out of the organization) instead of going the totally-understandable play-me-or-trade-me route. God, these guys are fun. Except for the bullpen, which I still don't really trust.

Mrs Lefty and I said the same thing last night. It's a weird feeling to have as a Met fan, but we just KNEW he was going to come through there. I keep thinking I'm going to wake up and they're actually 16 games under .500. But no.

I am dreading the day I have to make that drive. My wife is going to be an absolute wreck and I'm not going to be much better. If it's anything like I remember, your little guy will love Ithaca. 4 of the best years of my life. Is he going to IC or CU?

Probably the third Greatest Win of the Year to date. Not "third-greatest," but the third time we're in Greatest territory. I thought the second game of the doubleheader sweep of the Marlins that pushed them past .500 was the Greatest. Then I thought the Friday night over the Nationals with Conforto and the shirt was the Greatest. Now I believe beating the Indians in the tenth as they did is

My wife cried for two hours and wondered how he'd ever survive in rural Maryland without us. That hug when you let them go can be traumatic. Spoiler alert: He was (and is) just fine. And when he comes home it's special. JD Davis was still jumping up and down last night when the phone was buzzing with him calling to celebrate. Life is good.

I think I have to disagree with you there. The Friday night game against the Nationals was the Greatest. And for me, it's not particularly close. The Mets coming home after that great road trip to get themselves back in contention. The Nationals coming to town. That game being the first game against a "good" opponent. If we lose there a lot of the naysayers "you only beat bad teams" who follow with "I toljuso". Down two runs, and then that killer tack on when Turner scored on the wild pitch. Then magic. Just unbelievable. And for me, it was even more special. I listened to that ninth inning in the car with my family. We were coming back from a wake. My friend's father passed after a battle with cancer. We were somber to begin with, then getting into the car and finding that they were losing didn't help. We all groaned when Turner scored. Nearly drove off the road when Frazier hit the 3 run jack. We arrived at our garage before Conforto came to the plate, but everyone knew there was no chance we were going in. We waited on the street outside the garage then when he walked it off. I think the parking attendant has never seen a family so excited to drop off their car. Ran inside and watched the entire ninth inning on DVR. Last night, I was at the game with clients. Two of them are big Mets fans and were into the game, but when we celebrated I found myself wishing I was at home to enjoy it together.

You left out the part where they cite 25 championships won before they were even born.

There is no topic I'd rather have spur good-natured disagreement than, "Which was the greatest win of a year increasingly crammed with them?" And I'll happily take the runners-up home after the dance every night of the week. Thing I loved here, all personal aspects aside (genuinely sorry for your friend's loss), is this is after the Mets were generally believed to have peaked. Reality was allegedly setting in when they lost three in a row to Washington and Atlanta. Well, Cleveland ain't no tomato can and suddenly we've won four straight, it's almost two weeks later, and we are more than alive and kicking. Also, just an unbelievably tense game, I thought, one that exploded in ecstasy when it was over. Again, your smileage may vary.
