OT: MLB Thread XLI: Dog Days

[Larrybiv]

Jake looks like he wants to homer.

 

[Crease]

Panik is not a pickup that is supposed to work out for the Mets.

 

[Bob Richards]

Mets swinging and hitting every 1st pitch Scherzer throws this inning lol

deGrom had an 8 pitch at bat.

The previous 7 batters that inning only saw 13 pitches.

Insane.

 

[Larrybiv]

Every game is a must win and Cano, Davis, and Rosario are all sitting. Cano I understand since he was just activated but Davis and Rosario? Come on.

Thanks for confirmation of my thinking. Ummmm, looks like we are wrong. Callaway would have gotten scalped if we lose. I guess now, even if we do.....he won't. Looking smart thus far.

 

[Larrybiv]

Panik is not a pickup that is supposed to work out for the Mets.

Who would've thunk it. Panik would have typically sucked like so many prior. Hometown boy......making good? This had Shatty written all over it. I was wrong. Thus far, anyway.

 

[Bob Richards]

Joe Panik is not good but that at bat was hilarious.

 

[NYR94]

Who is the better player--Joe Panik or his brother Richard Panik of the Washington Capitals?

 

[Larrybiv]

Lets bombard this Maxamillion guy. Help knock him out of possible Cy, in lieu of our guy Jacob.
A big win over Max and Nats, should send our Mets well on our way of feeling real good again.

R u seeerious?

 

[Larrybiv]

Despite the leadoff walk......Jake dealing.
What else is new?. Despite me being totally bias........Jake is hands down the best pitcher in baseball and barring unforseen shellackings......he should be 2X a Cy.

 

[Larrybiv]

I want Nimms to crush his 4th. Welcome back Nimms, Mets been missing u.

 

[Machinehead]

Quietest superstar in baseball.

Besides Ronald Torreyes, that is.

 

[Sam Spade]

Man that losing streak really killed the Mets.

If they had just won maybe two of those games they would still be in this race.

 

[Larrybiv]

I suppose the last team the Nats would wanna face in the NLCS would be the Mets. Similar to us not wanting to face Atlanta. At this point, would gladly face either. Right?

I wasn't even aware Richard Panik is on the Caps now.

Still in it, just less wiggle room. No room for even a 2 game losing streak. Need to win just about every series from here on out.

I like the optimism but having to pass four teams will be the real issue.

But yeah, even the most malicious, negative Nancy Mets fan would have never imagined getting doubly swept. We were so hot AND playing at home. Who would've thunk it? Not me.

[Machinehead]

Everyone and their grandmother has a halfway decent record in the NL, that's the issue for the Mets.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Lmao @ Adams being on 2nd base there...that could save Jake and Mets’ bacon

So much self inflicted damage this year which is so aggravating.

 

[Machinehead]

The guys the Yankees have sent to the DL this year could probably win the AL Central.

 

[Larrybiv]

Technically u r right about 4. But is it really 4? If you know what I mean. I'm only converned with catching the Cubs, everything else will work out as I honestly dont think the Phillies and the dbacks are as good as we are. Shouldve swept Philly, they suck, minus their closer.

You have to learn how to hurt yourself and somehow survive. Its a military thing.
Survival of the fittest baby! Pretty sure you know what I am talking about.

 

[Larrybiv]

So McNeil gave up on the batting title, going towards HR title. Ron just took words out of my mouth.

 

[Larrybiv]

Callaway is an idiot. Love how Gary calls a spade a spade. Need I say more. Despite his fortunate good play by Panik and Louie.
