Reds finally won a game! After losing 11 in a row.

Wow that was a big home run. Also that stadium looks surprisingly empty.

Can't imagine KM is happy, but that was some incredible Mets 9th inning magic/luck tonight against the Cards. Down to their last strike, an Arenado error leads to five unearned runs, including a 2-RBI infield single where Dom Smith won the race to first base. The fans were all standing up waiting for that last strike/out for like 10-15 minutes, and it never came.

yeah, that was a wild one. have to say, i had written the game off as a loss as soon as i saw scherzer was starting, anyway. the arenado error was one thing, but worse was the backbreaking 2-run hit where Goldschmidt caught it but Gallegos got beat to first.
it was a good game, though!
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 03:15 (two years ago) link
Yeah, it was quite a pitchers duel that until the last two innings. What a great game. Mets broadcasters were very into it.
― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 03:25 (two years ago) link
I happened to catch the end of that Mets game, great comeback and Arenado unlikely error.
Some great games today. Burnes was two hitting the Giants and I already had it in the loss column. He's taken out and a fan was hackling Joc Pederson and he steps out of the box, then hits a mammoth home run. The Brewers came back to tie the score but the Giants end up winning, unbelievable. The Giants are already looking really good.

Don't know where to put this, but thought it was neat: an interview with Lauren Hutton, talking about a big modelling contract she signed when she was 30.
Inspired by baseball player Catfish Hunter, Hutton demanded one of the biggest modeling contracts at the time to protect herself in a youth-oriented business that "ages out" many women at 30.

el gallo is one shortlived name that i was a fan of as a poster on the viva el birdos vox messageboard ecosystem. but carlos prefers Tsunami. he tried to make it a thing, but unfortunately his performance started falling off around the same time, along with injuries, so it wasn't to be. but his instagram username is tsunamy0327

I had to sign up for an Apple TV account and enter my credit card number. I don't think I signed up for anything tho.

Might be a little suspect. I don’t remember entering my card number when I watched an Apple TV game.

Looking around while waiting on the game and got excited as I saw no hitter in the Mets game. Sad that it's not the starter.

Thanks for that Michael, I will look into to make sure I'm not charged.

Met pitchers have thrown over *130* pitches in 7 no-hit innings, so no way they could have done it with just one guy.

i didn't mean that in a bad way at all, ha! some guys are born for the role, from what i've seen of him. what happened with him and the nats? can't remember? he told them to shove it?

yup! june 2011, nats had won 11 of 12 but they refused to pick up his option for the next season, so he quit

That’s a lot of money for the Mets to eat, but I guess Cohen can cover it. Cano hasn’t done much to shake the notion that the good parts of his past 3-4 years were ay least partially PED-fueled.

39 years old, too, and after taking all of 2021 off, would be hard for anyone.
maybe a comparison is a-rod, who was able to put together a good year after his own season-long ban, but then fell off hard the following year and was done.

also it's kind of a bummer that he switched to a new bat style (similar to goldschmidt's new bat as well, i think?) with an extra weight on the knob (...), only to switch back to his old bat recently after the early results with the new bat were so dismal

kind of a bummer because i was really rooting for this new bat to work well, would have been very joey votto-like to pull off
