SinceThe70s

Depressing three games. We threw our three best pitchers at them and the Braves smacked each of them around. And for sure, it felt like the Braves beatdowns of the past. Now they have a few days to get their heads straight before the Padres come to town.

Limping towards the finish line but remarkably the Mets still control their own destiny. Win 4 straight and get a breather or it looks like it will be the Padres next weekend at Citi Field.

This one was mentioned at least once but I don't think a link was ever provided:

Shoot to thrill, play to kill Too many women with too many pills,

Thought for sure that I was going to bed unhappy last night. Great comeback by the Mets coupled with a surprising loss by the Braves puts us back in the drivers seat ahead of the big weekend series. If you didn't see Escobar's post-game interview check it out:

A different version of this opening included a mention of by birth date.

True, thanks! But that influence only happens after the initial line is posted. My point to OP remains the same - despite the histrionics on this board since the loss on Sunday, the public consensus is that the Bills are still a kick-@ss SB contender! And I'm in agreement.

Not taking away from what he has accomplished already but I'm disappointed that Judge didn't get to 61 before game 155.

Now she's a cool, cool black She moves like a cat If you don't get her game Well, you might not make it back She's got the looks that kill

This post is more awesome than a lot of people might realize. Well done.

So many great ones already mentioned, so many more but I'll add Looney Toons...this link has two versions, I prefer the first.

Isn't the spread all about trying to even out the betting $$ on both teams and by extension how the betting public views the match up? If so, the books don't think the takes on this board for the past 48 hours are representative of the betting publics view.

JMO but I hope McDermott and co.'s #1 priority is to get back to the offensive and defensive dominance we saw in the first two games. No easy task given the injuries.

Is this is a veiled reference to Robert Woods? If so, I endorse this message.

In Dorseys case the game (and pressure) was over so it's a nothing burger to me. Had Dorsey done something like that in game I'd have a different opinion.

When you say Mac was a more finished product do you mean he was finished in the NFL before he even got there? JK.

Is it safe to assume that Didacts and Narpets doesn't qualify as danceable?

So I check on the score and it's 3-0 Mets. With Jake on the mound I head outside to cover my pool figuring this one's already in the bag and I start thinking that maybe the Braves series won't be that big of a deal. Argh.

On a normal week no, I'm only standing for big downs or big plays. But I was on my feet for almost all of Bills/Chiefs. I do a lot of pacing.

Not that I disagree with your other points, but your Guillorme and DH comments were spot on. My soft landing spot comment had more to do with the intensity of the dogfight for first place. I won't count the Mets out if they're a wild card, but it would be a big blow. This season has always been about the health of Jake and Max to me. I still don't have confidence that they'll both last through a long post-season run but getting a bye would be a huge help. The good news is their pitching is lined up perfectly. They have the big 3 going against the Braves and then they'll be rested for the post season.

My pet peeve is people leaving or returning to their seats during live play. Went to a Rangers (hockey) game last year and the ushers didn't let fans back to their seats until there was a stoppage in play. At one point coming back from a pee break/beer purchase I had to wait a freaking long time for a whistle. I had no problem waiting - timed my next break/purchase better.

With cup holders.

Woo-hoo! One up in the loss column - which is the only thing that matters! Good start to the weekend.
