Today's good guys:
Lagares CF
Johnson SS
Conforto LF
Plawecki C
Nieuwenhuis RF
Herrera 2B
Recker 1B
deGrom P

Lots of hangovers from last night (and this morning) apparently.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Lol Recker playing first? Where in Hades did Eric Campbell fall into?

 

[Parch]

There are no bad guys in baseball. It's a non contact sport full of family fun and lovable underdogs.

Sure there are some evil Sith lords like the Yankees and Cards, but they get put in their place often enough to know their role. They're there to be beaten by those adorable underdog teams who win with the love of the game instead of a fat cheque book. Let them feast on overpaid UFA's. They just get cocky and fat and lose to the pure of heart and the young of the game who are strong and have not yet fallen to the dark side.

There is balance in the force. The love of baseball comes from when good triumphs over evil. All is well in our fine game of choice.

 

[richiek]

Lose in spectacular fashion?

Mets have never lost an NLDS.

 

[GK86]

That could have been a lineup mid-July.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

That could have been a lineup mid-July.

Heh. I just texted a friend of mine the line-up makes me soooo nostalgic for past june.

Plawecki cleanup ..... at least bat kelly johnson there, Terry. That way there may some doubt that you're trolling us. .......

I just found out that I could've gone to the Jays game today, had I checked my email last night.

I'm selling something on Kijiji, to someone I've dealt with before, and when I let him know that I was available to meet last night he informed me that a family member had unfortunately been admitted to hospital.

Previously, he'd told me he had tickets for today's game and was going. But I didn't think he'd offer them to me and stopped emailing to not bother him at that time, watched TV and didn't think much about it.

I guess he can't go -- which is too bad -- so he offered me the tickets, but I wouldn't have been able to make it in time by the time I saw the email.

 

[crashnburn]

Angels twitter called that Freese's first walkoff home run :lol

First walk off of the regular season according to mlb.com.

Semantics....

 

[JDeluis]

Mets have never lost an NLDS.

There's always a first time for everything, friendo!

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Mets brahs, your 25 man post season roster please:

Here's mine:

1. deGrom
2. Harvey
3. Syndergaard
4. Colon
5. Familia
6. Clippard
7. Reed
8. Robles
9. Goeddel (>Torres)
10. Niese (i like the idea of him taking Gilmartin's spot in the pen)
11. Matz (Will be devastating out of the bullpen imo)

12. d'Arnaud
13. Plawecki
14. Wright
15. Duda
16. Muffy
17. Flores
18. Tejada
19. Johnson (can play OF)
20. Uribe (if he's unavailable I'd bring in another pitcher -- Verrett probably)

21. Cespedes
22. Granderson
23. Conforto
24. Lagares (hate burn a spot for late-inning defense but such is life)
25. Cuddy

 

[DoktorEvil]

Conforto is such a solid hitter.

I really want to see him become an All Star player. He's a great talent.

I'm also saving that Cespedes GIF.

 

[detectiveconan1]

If Justin Bour can learn how to hit lefties he will be a pretty good player. At the very least, he has dominated all the teams in the NL East this year.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Herrera!

 

[Link]

The Mets C-team getting it done.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

lmao @ Kelly Johnson paying homage to Cespedes.

 

[Frozenprince]

Even the Mets d-team hits.

 

[outunderthestars]

Mark just seems to be out of gas this season. Really worried about his post season starts for the Jays.

 

[eyeless]

watching buehrle pitch is so stressful

just have to accept we're going to lose at least two more games unless we can get like 12 runs in those games

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Watch out Mets, HERE COME THE NATS!!!!!

 

[chicagocubsfan]

So the Cubs playoff roster should be:

IF'ers-Rizzo, Castro, Russell, Bryant, Baez, La Stella

OF'ers-Schwarber, Coghlan, Soler,Fowler, Jackson

Catchers-Montero, Ross

Pitchers-Arrieta, Lester, Hammel, Hendricks, Wood, Richard, Cahill, Rodney, Grimm,Ramirez, Strop, Rondon

 

[Frozenprince]

You're good people. We'll beat the Doyers for you.

 

[jello44]

Altuve Doubles to lead off the inning

..after Altive's double

 

[outunderthestars]

Donaldson's slump continues. Batting .206 now in last 15 games.


Let's go White Sox. Bail us out today!

 

[Link]

Nice, though I feel like the words should be synced up with the two puffs.

 

[Frozenprince]

Dilson Herrera is gonna be so good for us next year.

 

[The Elite]

Smoak looking good.

 

[eyeless]

smoak

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Jays' generic postseason gear for sale.

I will just wait a few days.

Remember when they said they wouldn't have much of a celebration for the wild card clinch?

Yeah, they blew their load early.

Still exciting.

Ridiculous, this is not the time, not yet. Get that clown Bannerman Kawasaki the fuck out of here, messes with the winning culture along with the scrubs Loup, Delabar and Tepera, waste of space, you don't need to keep a 40 man roster right now, you need to win.

If Buerle can't hack it today, he's done. This is time to be ruthless, Gibby.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Dilson Herrera is gonna be so good for us next year.

yeah, no need to throw stupid money at Muffy, especially if the Cubs are involved.

 

[Frozenprince]

yeah, no need to throw stupid money at Muffy, especially if the Cubs are involved.

Wilmer has outhit most NL 2B since the trade that wasn't. He earned the job.

 

[StudioTan]

Yeah, cause the best thing to do right now is mess with your team chemistry by "being ruthless". They've been winning, why are you angry at them celebrating?

 

[lazybones18]

good, Astros got the lead

 

[zroid]

This was very likely Buehrle's last ever start at the Rogers Centre. Hopefully he was appreciated by the fans.

 

[jello44]

JAKE! yes!

 

[lazybones18]

Ack! Ackley

 

[jello44]

All those shitty pitches Altuve was swinging at and he looks at THAT?

C'mon man.

 

[Malo]

Ackley has been great for us. I think we might have our second baseman for next year.

 

[User 479360]

Couldn't watch the game until just now. I'll have to watch Blue Jays in 30 to see some of Buehrle's start.

Hopefully he was appreciated.

 

[zroid]

Ackley has been great for us. I think we might have our second baseman for next year.

Like I said before, the beard was holding him back

 

[Doogdogg]

Bogaerts 10 away from 200 hits.

 

[The Elite]

Pennington can't throw the ball.

 

[Malo]

Like I said before, the beard was holding him back

That and he needed to get away from the mariners.

 

[jello44]

This ump in the Astros/Rangers game is all over the place with his strike zone.

 

[User 479360]

Pennington can't throw the ball.

He's been making some ill-advised plays as of late. Needs to calm down.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Ackley has been great for us. I think we might have our second baseman for next year.

Bad news for Muffy.

Pennington can't throw the ball.

Good news for Muffy.

 

[outunderthestars]

Happy to see that Donaldson's slump at the plate isn't carrying over to his fielding. That was a huge out.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Damn Justin Bour crushed another one. Out of all the NL rookies he is 3rd in HRs and 3rd in RBIs, but he has about 150 less ABs than the two guys ahead of him.

 

[User 479360]

SMOAKED!

 

[zroid]

You're alright Pillar

 

[eyeless]

pillar you absolute beauty
