After two days off, the Mets face the Atlanta Braves. The starters are Jose Quintana and assassin Charlie Morton (he hit Pete on purpose and Buck did nothing to retaliate). Game time is 7:10 PM ET on SNY. The second-place Braves are a 1.5-run favorite and the O/U is 8 runs.

Alternately you could catch episode 70 of the Barley Prose podcast featuring Ceetar and myself, heavier on the topic of beer and without all of that pesky Mets knowledge to stumble over.

I don't want to sound judgy, but why would anyone want to listen to a podcast about your bathroom activities?

I'd tune in to find out if he skips there. (Kids, ask your grandpa)

Later

Congrats

Annnnnd ... already a delayed start.

It's damp and grey today but hasn't been raining hard

By the way, that's a sweep of the Cards that the Mets are coming off of.

That's one messed-up looking Indian in the new Braves logo.

It's inclement in Corona, or so I'm told.

First pitch at 8:05?

I know, right. Fucking duh here but I mean well...

I'm calling bullshit on inclemency. I don't know what Steve's game is here. I'm 4.5 miles away and it's been playable here for hours

What the living hell are the Mets wearing?

Mets black tops earlier in the year:



Mets black tops tonight:


Strange days.

Suddenly, strikes are not getting by Alonso.

I'm sorry. Did I fart? I seem to have cleared the room.

Acuña gives the Mets a good idea of what he thinks of their uniforms.

Good thing this was all preceded by a GiDP
And, of course, when talking about the Braves early lead you can't give enough credit to the NYM lack of hitting with runners on which
tonight involved failing to get the ball out of the infield in multiple ABs [#weak grounder/K]

These were supposed to be this year's version of black unis but Fanatics and Nike couldn't deliver on time

Wow. A season's worth of power against Quintana in a single inning.

Quintana should stop sucking

HR, HR, BB, HR after two outs, none on, and 2 strikes.
Will the Mets have 3 HRs in this series?
