Check out Eddy Alvarez, breaking the tape on his glove!

I'm not sure he's strong enough to do that.
He might not even be strong enough to break a sweat.

Oh boy lads, I've just polished off a staggeringly potent Pigeon Outta Nowhere IPA and let me tell you, this game promises the same kind of punch! I've got Bullpen-ball Syndrome from trying to predict it, swingin' wild just as my friend Nimmo is gonna cut loose. You watch, Martinez and Lindor will be pirouetting like fecking ballet dancers around Guerrero Jr., and we'll all raise our pint glasses, hell—even our bathtubs full of Chuck Ordinary's Mundane Lager if Peterson is taking the mound!

tell us you're Ceetar without telling us you're Ceetar.

Does Winker not believe in sliding?

Five-hole Nimmo is unstoppable.

Ace Peterson day

What a poorly played series this has been

Not a crisply played game so far: two errors, two WPs (all Mets), one HBP, one near decapitation, and FOUR potential DPs that weren't turned (TOR x 3, Mets x1)

Horrible night for America

Well, we're going to have to start hitting at some point so why not now?

Just giving away runs with shitty defense. <sigh>

Ugh 5-1

Ulp.
No es bueno.

Yes, they're likely going to have to bop their way back into this game. I get the notion that passed balls aren't going to cut it tonight.

There's still three innings left so there's no reason to think four runs isn't obtainable ... except that the past four-five games suggest otherwise.

If I'm in charge here this call doesn't get overturned.

but it does in just the latest example of the 51/49 theory of governance.

Down 5-1 through six, got 'em right where we want 'em. .

Hey, an extra-base hit!

Good things happen when I watch the presidential debate.

Just not, you know, at the debate.

Who wants some Pop?

On the other hand ... .

It's been about four or five days since we've scored any runs that weren't at least half handed to us.
