LGM

The Mets are facing a Rat Pack comedy duo?

Hopefully, baghead and his hot 'date' will attend again for
our communal enjoyment and general IGT mockery...

"My sister's husband said to text them from anywhere, and they'd come get me, no questions asked, any time,
... and ... I'm thinking that's right about now."

Same bunch as yesterday with the exception of Marte replacing Bader.

Or, more accurately, Marte displacing Winker in right, Winker displacing Nimmo in left, and Nimmo replacing Bader in center.

Thunder will shake the foundations of great buildings. Fire will rain from the sky.

Dude in Edgy's pic might be rubbing coke into his gums.

That might be what it takes to sit through a White Sox game

WE'RE DRIVING
SUSTAINABILITY™

... is maddeningly off-center.

Quintana has thrown almost 50 pitches in two innings?
I'm guessing we'll see Butto tonight.
Later

Vientos kept trying to pull sliders away.

Not very Vientosian, but he made some hard contact.

But Winky picks up the RBI!

Winker with a 2 out single to drive in Lindor.

So Lenyn Sosa of Venezuela ... son of parents who supported the local Communist Party back home??
I figure it's either that of they were rabid yet dyslexic fans of comedian Lenny Bruce.

90 pitches thru four innings for Quintana - 50% more than the target you'd like to stay at or under.

Every TV shot of interim manager Grady Sizemore through a game and a half so far seems to show him in the exact same position and with the same expression.
I wonder if he stayed in that spot between games too?

Hey, Q made it through the fifth!

Barely, but still!

Sox get yet another leadoff batter on base in the 5th but don't cash him in as Quintana hangs Sheets out to dry for out #3

I need to FF.

When you say there's 'a line drive towards the Pole' during a game in Chicago it could be interpreted as a ball hit at any one of thousands of ticket holders.

I like the "Jes-se! Jes-se!" chant.

Although I hear it and I'm looking for Orosco.

Matre with a RBI single to right.

Seeing Robert out there in center makes me sad. He can't do anything with that arm.
