We have our heavyweight lineup in. I like it



Goldschmidt has been a major disappointment after winning the MVP



I saw Senga is recruiting one of the better Japanese pitchers coming to the states next year

It looks like the Mets are about 7 1/2 back of Philly Miami Cincy etc



Stranger things have happened but admittedly not that much more than this would take

Prior to the game, the Mets selected LHP Adam Kolarek from Triple-A Syracuse and recalled RHP Vinny Nittoli. To make room, the team optioned LHP Joey Lucchesi back to Syracuse.

The Mets also designated RHP Dennis Santana for assignment.



I hat these new option rules.

I've been in the arch a long time ago. I had trouble looking down and it was very hot. View of the Mississippi is cool.



Ashie was born on the banks of the Mississippi in Burlington IA



That would partially explain the brain damage

Many of them at AAA, or with the Dodgers.

More importantly did he bring a bottle of hooch back

They were busy making errors rather than benefitting from them.

Mendick doesn't seem to have a thirdbaseman's tool set, but he's made some good plays tonight.

After the last two months or so of hoping that Batientos wouldn't fumble/bobble/kick/trip and/or bounce a throw, seeing Mendick make all the plays without drama is a nice sight.

That new StL 1Bman Luken Baker is from Houston rather than Luchenbach, Texas is a crying shame.

And it's a double crying shame if he's not using the Waylon Jennings song as his walk-up music in any case.

I thought they were going to burst out into song.

The St. Looie manager is some kind of sadist (or he hates pitchers). Leaving a reliever in to make 50+ pitches after 24 last night is cruel.

So tonight, Keith wasn't sure on whether "Running on Empty" is a Jackson Browne song, wasn't familiar with "The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes," and thought the lack of pedestrians in downtown St. Louis is somehow related to to the NBA Hawks leaving town in 1968.



And he forgot his shirt.

The Mets gain on San Francisco (thanks, Braves?), Cincinnati (thanks, Jays!), and Miami in both the division and Wild Card races (thanks, Dodgers!). The Diamondbacks are up 8–1 on the Pads in the ninth, so in all likelihood, the Mets gain on San Diego as well, putting them within a half game of fifth place in the Wild Card race.



Either way, they have closed their net deficit from 26.5 to 23.5 games with tonight's win.



The Crane Pool Heat Index has them as the hottest team in the NL right now.



Lastly, they lowered their run differential to -30 with tonight's win — the highest it's been since the last time they were at -30, or something.

6 games out of the second wild card. Their current magic number to get to the second wild card, if I'm not mistaken, is 45. We can do it!
