Well if we're going to rev ourselves up by having this much purple floating around ...

Nice to see Lindor leading off without the sun in his eyes.

Got two breaks that inning: Nimmo's non-called strike three and the pillow double
That said, we also failed to make our own breaks by failing twice to get a ball out of the infield w/RiSP
Getting a little tired of thinking, 'yeah we left runs out there ... but at least we made the pitcher throw a lot of pitches.

Can I do normal-sized purple? My throat is starting to hurt.
Re: IGT 8/24 It's getting late early Mets @ Padres 8:40
No, normal-sized purple is not an option this evening.

I prefer big Mets Blue lettering.
Maybe the big purple letters will help revive the Grimace era. So I'm in.

When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's less of it to waste

Gotta admit, I like it when Machado messes up and/or has bad stuff happen to him, more so than with most opposing players.

McNeil looked that pitch right into his elbow guard.

You can’t spell Lindor without MVP!
Technically you can. But don’t!
MVPLindor!

Didn't leave runners stranded w/2 outs during THAT inning.
And that it further rubs salt into the Machado wound makes things that much sweeter.

Re: IGT 8/24 It's getting late early Mets @ Padres 8:40
btw, any coincidence that we seem to be using 'Grimace' purple in this thread?!?
Marte seems more sure of himself defensively since his most recent return.
I called him a defensive liability in a thread earlier this season but, right now anyway, he doesn't look like it.
