The Time has Come for a Post-Season IGT, NYM@MIL, 2024-10-01

Winker?!?

Wow. Ballsey...

[TransMonk]

I couldn't commit to getting away in the middle of this week, but would have loved to see them in MIL during the playoffs.

[Centerfield]

Hey, anyone else not getting nervous?

[Lefty Specialist]

This is bonus baseball. Enjoy.

In 2022 there were high expectations. This is a hey, anything can happen, kind of season.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Hey, anyone else not getting nervous?

Not yet, no. I'm still in the glad-to-be-here phase. But if the Mets are holding a one-run lead going into the ninth, I'll be pacing in front of my TV like a caged animal.

[TransMonk]

Yeah, this is all gravy to me. Anything can happen going forward, but yesterday was the day I was nervous.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Winky has been pretty good all year, just ran into a slump at a bad time. I'm cool with Winker in the lineup. Heeyyyyyy

[Edgy MD]

I'm also down with Winker in that slot. I kind of expected it.

I'd prefer Álvarez eighth and Taylor ninth, where maybe his wheels can help in front of the top of the lineup, but I can't get everything. I expect Bader and Martinez cracking the lineup tomorrow. Maybe Torrens also. Maybe none.

But today is all I'm promised, and I'm good.

[kcmets]

I have a WinkyBOOM!!! set up in my big-purple pre-IGT arsenal ready to go.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I be more like Winky takes ball 4!!

[Benjamin Grimm]

I just hope we see a lot of armpit waves, from whomever.

Oddly no, yesterday yes

[Edgy MD]

A good time for a re-post of the Japanese Toyota G's commercial.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Today's game is also brought to you by the late lamented Oakland A's

[MFS62]

I'm getting schpilkes.
Later

Dearly beloved

Game time

[ashie62]

Lindor was frozen

[metirish]

Strauss is prominent

[Cowtipper]

Wow. Mets playoff baseball. This is surreal.

I hope the Mets win.

[ashie62]

How did Turang get to second?

Rut roh

[ashie62]

Trouble

[ashie62]

Ugh

Hard contact

Bad defense

0-1

[metsmarathon]

This could be starting worse

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Vientos 😔

[ashie62]

How about a mound visit
