@Gugny @SinceThe70s @Another Fan So they inexcusably gave away another game today to the Marlins, 3-2. They ended the season 7-6 against Miami. The Marlins record against the rest of the NL East coming into play today? 7-19. That, in a nutshell, is why the Mets will ultimately fall short in their quest to make the playoffs this season. They squandered a quality start by Blackburn (1 run in 6 innings) and two of their other pitching trade acquisitions gave it away...Brazoban & Maton. SMH

@Gugny @SinceThe70s It has been a strange year for sure. Up and down, super high and super low. That loss at home to a horrific A's team after leading 5-0 in the 4th was inexcusable, IMO. You can't just give away games like that against bad teams when you're fighting for a WC spot. That loss was the worst of the year, in my eyes, even worse than the 9-5 collapse in the 9th earlier in the year at Miami. But, what's done is done, can't look back. That said... They haven't played great since the All-Star break and it looks like now it's going to be a battle for that last WC spot only. They've almost let San Diego and Arizona run away from them at this point. Some of it is that the Padres & D-backs have just played out of their heads but the Mets have also been too Jekyll & Hyde during the heater those two teams have been riding. The Mets have to sweep the Marlins today and then a brutal ten game stretch will likely determine their fate. After today, they have three at home against Baltimore and then hit the road for four at San Diego and three at Arizona. We'll know after that whether they're still in the thick of it or if they're "also-rans" playing out the string. If they can stay afloat for that ten game stretch, it may come down to the final three games of the year at Atlanta. Be still my PTSD...

Yeah, seemed pretty innocuous. His removal was precautionary more than anything else.

No official update but it was nothing serious. They said he could have come back into the game but the coaches kept him out to prevent further risk of a serious injury.

Like a serial killer who hasn't yet escalated...

That's always fun after the first preseason game...

Good: The Ed Oliver 'injury' was nothing serious.

Yeah but they were talking about losses during the McDermott era, not all-time franchise losses.

They may be personal worsts for you but they both still pale in comparison to '13 seconds'.

At least you got some goods & services and, presumably, some entertainment for the money you were shelling out today. The fans in attendance today can't say the same.

They reported shortly afterwards that he was fine to return but the coaches held him out to avoid risking anything more serious. It might've been the only smart thing that McD and his charges did all day long.

That was a pretty nice crowd for a preseason game. It's a shame that the home team couldn't have rewarded them with a better effort. That was truly a 'demand your money back' type of effort. The coaches and players should all be embarrassed by that complete sh!t show. Nobody bothered to show up. Woof...

Is he still young?

It depends upon how much Pegs wants to spend on tackling dummies for practices.

Rejoice Bears fans. Matt Eberflus' job is safe for another week!

The scrubs are living up to their moniker...

He's on the field now.

I don't think you're getting Mike Schopp, so...

'Boo-shell' and Gore. They'd be fun at a Halloween party.

They should have her interview Frank Gore, Jr for perspective.

Other than always sounding like he's in the middle of a stroke?

I don't know but it looks like he stole Troy Polamalu's hair. I wonder if Mahomes will love 'Tiny Mack'...

I take it you missed the 15-yard completion to Andy Isabella?

Did that used to be the TwitterFL?
