With Cookie pitching, Vientos should wear a chest protector and shin guards to play third.

5 through 9 in that order is, um, less than impressive.



Carrasco is kind of a downward swirly all by himself.

Alonso taking off from second after seeing the replay, without waiting for the umps to do the whirlybird signal brings up a good question: What do equipment do they have in Chelsea that's more decisive than the five-story monitor that is the Mets' centerfield scoreboard.

For all that good defense erasing guys on the bases, he got an early hook.



Strong inning, though, for Bicky, who still looks like he's going to fall on his face on his follow-through.

A gust blew my cap off in the first inning. I turned around and saw it zoomed straight into the chest of a gentleman two row behind me, off my left shoulder. He graciously returned it. Despite that 7:10 sun that tends to blind the first base side of excelsior, I shoved the cap in my bag for the rest of the night, as I like my cap. The sky cooperated from there.

They're slinking back to NYC even though most of their pre-MAGA friends are now shunning them, because they're probably tired of hosting parties for Republican wingnuts who spend five hours a day reading their bibles. And on that point, I don't blame them, scumbag frauds that they nevertheless are.
