World Series or Bust! with the Coke Party Patrol: 2016 New York Mets

If Thor would have hit him, I could see maybe throwing him out, but he missed him behind by 3 feet. You give a warning and let the game go on.

The pool reporter was told by Tom Hallion after the game that there was no warning given before the series, so MOTHERFUCKING BULLSHIT.

Funniest atrocious '80s music cue of the night was "(Don't You) Forget About Me" for the Lagares HR.

I liked the way the '86 intros were structured chronologically acc to the narrative of the season, eg Jesse Orosco last. I was more touched than i expected to be by Strawberry, Gooden, and Carter's son and widow.

crunch, you elitist, i was in 508.

Robles was just served Saladino

(i am trying to be John Sterling Lite so mookieproof will have beerz with me)

battle of the pens into extras

bring in Thor again i say

Mets have drawn 11 walks in 11 innings, scored once

@AdamRubinESPN
Hansel Robles leaving with an apparent injury. He bent over behind the mound following his last pitch.

disgusting loss

one is reminded Mets have only played postseason in consecutive years once, '99-00

matz is NL rookie of the month!

Wright to DL after all :(

Tejada may return?

6-8 weeks of no baseball activity for Wright

MATT REYNOLDS

sadly no pinch hit grand slam for degrom

Rubin: "Juan Lagares has been diagnosed with a partially torn ligament in his left thumb. He will rejoin the team and not be placed on the disabled list."

injuries are starting to remind me of the '72 Mets, who were playing .700 ball in early June and then nearly all the nonpitchers hit the DL.

kelly johnson just going back and forth between the braves and mets until the end of time

i wasn't sure why the mets didn't just keep him in the first place after the initial trade - not like a deal for him was cutting into the necessary salary space for anyone else

character actor ty kelly

man, it feels like they really need this one

Neil Walkin' the Plank defensively

That rinky dinky harpsichord at pnc park was killing me the whole series

that's an organ, son -- sorry you didn't get to hear enough billy joel

liked what ron, gary and co did with the kiner flashbacks, etc. they are so much better than the pirates announcers

Was it an organ? It sounded so chipper and thin. The park is gorgeous otherwise.

The Pirates commercial for Atari that was shown was really funny.

familia was on his full benitez in the 9th, I was watching thru my fingers

Terry Collins floated the idea of shifting Neil Walker to third base and calling up Dilson Herrera to man second. Walker appeared at third for the Pirates in 2009 and 2010.

maybe should have floated that idea before trading a semi-useful prospect for kelly johnson

260 career PAs, zero walks, 7 3-ball counts

that's incredible

broke the record of Roger Maris victim and '63-64 Met pitcher Tracy Stallard

wb kelly johnson

damn jeffress curve is nasty

lol that play

Umpire's safe call was probably confusing in the moment, and then Johnson acting like he wasn't out was pretty funny. Lot of weird baserunning in this game.

Conforto staying up mostly cuz the whole lineup sux

Conforto had a .591 OPS in May and watched that number shrink to .372 in June with an 0-for-10 series in Milwaukee last weekend....

“He looks like he’s been trying to pull everything,” said a talent evaluator who has watched Conforto recently. “That’s not him.”

Conforto has dealt with “tenderness” in his left wrist in recent days and was expected to be examined Monday, but the Mets had no update on his condition.

@AdamRubinESPN
Beyoncé chewed up the Citi Field outfield while the Mets were on the road....

thx, now the Mets are going to hafta make lemonade, i guess

Syndergaard became the sixth pitcher in Mets history to have multiple games with at least 11 strikeouts and no walks in the same season.

Noah Syndergaard 2016
Matt Harvey 2013
R.A. Dickey 2012
Sid Fernandez 1989
Dwight Gooden 1984
Jerry Koosman 1976

was there tonight; bullpen went Half Benitez

2nd Colon double i've seen in the flesh

ignominy achieved

Wheeler rehab inning cancelled due to "elbow discomfort," will be examined in NY tomorrow. I don't have a great feeling about the arc of this season.

But...

@AdamRubinESPN
Sandy Alderson says the Mets will hold a private workout for Cuban defector Yulieski Gourriel.

Mets TV booth were asking if the Mets should pick up Jose Reyes after he clears waivers. Everyone agreed that he would be....inexpensive.

as yall likely know, Plawecki demoted, Jim Henderson to DL, Sean Gilmartin recalled.

Cameron sez GET DANNY VALENCIA:
