Lol at the Jays line up for Game 2
Pompey Pennington Carrera Colabello Hague Thole Kawasaki Barney Diaz. It's the Buffalo Bisons vs the Baltimore Orioles in Game Two. Jays will probably still win. |

Logan Verrett drills Odubel Herrera.
good. the Mets front office has basically banned Collins from calling for retaliation, about time they sacked up and did something. of course it means the news on Cespedes is probably going to end up being really bad for them to do it. |

I bet Buchanan was on the mound facing the backup. Hate that guy.

Lol and the Jays are not "peaking" they have had to deal with tough games along the way, during September they weren't blowing teams out of the water, they had to scratch and claw for victories, particularly once Tulo went down with that injury. |

Nothing, but these last few weeks it seems these basement-dwelling NL East teams have had no issues throwing up and in to Mets batters yet the Mets NEVER feel the need to do the same.
At least this time Cespedes getting hit wasn't intentional like it was during the Marlins game a couple weeks ago, but he still got hurt. Gotta protect your teammate. It's baseball. |

Of course, then Robles let a 2-2 pitch get away from him and he got tossed out, leading to Terry to bring in the dregs of his bullpen to blow the game.
And they're using a guy tomorrow who has never started a game and will probably play all bench guys knowing the Phillies may well try to start another beanball war. Decent chance your team will pull off the sweep. And with the big 3 all going to be on shortened starts this weekend the Mets sure do look like a team that gives zero fucks about holding on to the homefield advantage in the NLDS. |

@Vito I was joking, but I see your point. Teams that have nothing to lose tend to stop caring and start bean wars with the remaining contenders. Gotta keep it exciting, I guess? I dunno. It's shitty.
Sucks that Cespedes got hurt, though. I read last night his hand isn't broken, at least. |

Watching ESPN and talking about the curse of Taylor Swift. Nationals, Astros and Padres have all struggled since she played in their stadiums. She plays in the Toronto's next.

Rich Hill could have been so good if he wasn't such a head case. Had it on display in 2008.
Was maddening in 2006-7. Would get called up and get lit up for 8 runs in 3 innings. Send him down. Complete game shutout with 14 k's. Bring him up and get hammered again. Cubs should have sold high on him knowing he could lose it at any moment. Jim Hendry never wanted to trade the kids on the farm though. Always too afraid. Held on to Felix Pie for dear life too. |

Read a great quote from the Yankee locker room. Apparently the Yankees had one of the Jays games on earlier in the year. A Yankee player walked by and said "Jays are playing, is it 6-0 yet?"
This is the most enjoyable year of baseball that I have ever experienced in my 27 years as a Jays fan. I was a bit too young to really enjoy the Jays World Series years. This team is just so much fun to watch. There's not a weak link in their line up. Even Ryan Goins has been fantastic. Really hope Encarnacion gets to 40 home runs. 3 players with 40 home runs on the same team is just amazing. |

The Jays would be the team I most want to see win it all if the Mets don't. The lineup is incredible, I can never tire of watching David Price pitch, and I'll always love R.A. Dickey for what he did for the Mets, both with his amazing 2012 season and also for helping to land Syndergaard.

In fact no matter how the West or second wild card shake up there are SO many interesting potential World Series matchups with all of these new teams in the mix.
About the only clunker would be Yankees/Cards. No way anybody who isn't a fan of one of those teams could possibly want to see that. |

Apparently Brad Ausmus let prized rookie pitcher Daniel Norris throw 54 pitches in one inning, th longest one inning outing in 6years. Then he responds with "I know more than you" line in a post game presser. And they're bringing him back? Lol.

Couple of records set tonight:
Cubs set NL record for pitching staff k's in a season (1414). MLB leader is the 2014 Indians (1429). Chris Sale sets White Sox franchise record for k's in a season (274). |

If Kevin Pillar keeps consistant for years to come, he could be a Devon White esque center fielder. Particularly with that glove of his, and his recent knack fo getting timely hits. But form is fleeting. Class is permanent.

I say this taking into account he can manage an eventual shift up in the order when time comes a knocking.

Mets no longer control their destiny for homefield they've completely phoned it in this week. I know statistically homefield means dick all in baseball but you'd still like to at least try for it.
If they end the year on a 6-game losing streak and stalled at 89 wins....ugh, literally everybody in the mediawill be going on about how the Dodgers will sweep. Even though there's a 4 game layover before the series even starts and therefore momentum at the end of the regular season shouldn't mean anything. |
