Some genius once said, "you can laugh or you cry" and this is one of those games where you just have to laugh, and not just laugh, but a big hearty guffaw.
As the Braves announcer said (it was on the mlb.com highlights of the game) "Those boys came down from the Big Apple and they got baked into apple pies." True dat homie!
Some random thoughts one this one, since my brain is no longer capable of writing from laughing so doggone much.
Lindor is currently a spectator; he is no longer producing and even his 20 pairs of shoes seem tired.
Marte's error in the first inning was the 2023 Mets season encapsulated in one play.
Nimmo is playing like a perennial All Star. He had his first career grand slam and a diving catch.
Baty made a great play in the field, driving to his left and then gunning down the guy a step off first base.
Alvarez hit two lasers with some serious arc that both barely cleared the fence and looked like hard doubles off the bat. That kid is a BEAST.
Vientos needs to take the bat off his shoulders and swing at the ball. He struck out looking twice, once with the bases loaded.
The Mets radio announcers (Howie doesn't do road games anymore) are really annoying. I want to give them a chance, but when the team is losing they are impossible to listen to and they are a natural cure for insomnia. They both sound exactly alike and what they say either annoys me or puts me to sleep. To my brain, they sound like two frat guys announcing a foosball tournament. Therefore, I slept through most of this one and only watched the highlights on mlb.com after they were posted.
Almost as bad as the Mets radio B-team, the Mets team ERA now stands at 4.68.
They should give Scott Kazmir a shot in this rotation.
Please note:
We're looking for your comments about this specific
game. We've had people use this space to share their thoughts on how the
current season is going, or on ways that the Mets can improve the team.
Such comments, unless in the context of
this particular game,
will be considered off-topic and will be removed.
Example One
The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like
Jones.
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with
any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:
Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith
and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in
the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and
we would let it remain.
We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our
site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take
steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate
Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments,
and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.
Thank you!
