If he had done a bit more before 5/16 the Mets might have some more desperately needed wins

Doh!

Sure, but if Zach Short hit at all, they might have won a game or two more also, but that's not where we're at.

Where we're at is here, and nobody drove the team as far to get here, and that is to be commended.

Congratulations to Starling Marte, the Mets' latest #3 hitter.

And some side congratulations to the Diamondbacks, for having so many lefties and switchies to totally stack that lineup against Luis Severino.

Top of the seventh in Minneapolis. Twins rookie David Festa has given up only two hits, but the score is tied 1-1 as Festa gets pulled after giving up his first walk to Marcel Ozuna leading off the seventh.

And Matt Olson immediately rips a double into the gap against Caleb Thielbar and the Braves take the lead.

Help a brother out, Minnesota!

Well, looking for help on the outside is only going to get the cause so far, anyhow. We're underway in Arizona.

Guillorme is the second former Met in history to go on to face the Mets as a member of three different teams in a single season.

Frank Thomas, like Luis, could change uniforms but not deeply held allegiances.

Guillorme drives in a run, but deep down he regrets it.

Sevy takes one off the right foot, stays in there like the American hero he wishes to be.

The Mets seemingly are about to get a legalistic gift of an out.

Gary Cohen is DENIED and the Mets lose their challenge.

And ... maybe Sevvy didn't need to stay in the game after all.

Spikes up not aiming for bag is cool tonight I guess. Put that in the
later inning memory banks should it become necessary to cash in.

Nothing even resembling a hit so far ... but a real live baserunner.

Hey, one of those runny things!!

That's about as far as a person can hit one and not get a homer.
