Can we play these Mets in the world series....not the deGrom/Max Mets 

Unless those guys go 9, today's game was a great example of how the Astros can beat them regardless of who the SP is.

 

The bigger immediate question is what does that line-up card look like tomorrow?

Guess no yordan tomorrow.

1 more W to finish the toughest 9 game stretch in all of baseball this season !!!!!

whichever starting 9 we roll out tomorrow, we're going to give them hell and slap a L on the yankees 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

glad JV got the W, man never gets run support. 

Let's track Alvarez stats post injury.  I'm wary of these type of injuries when a god is at his apex.

[Storm the Field 5302]

Fitting that the final pitch was a rather charitable strike call. Live by the outside K, die by the outside K.

[TonyTexas 10533]

Do 2 mini-sweeps 

 

Equal

They were 2nd after the Yankees on MLB this week 

[Storm the Field 5302]

He caught Pena's giant forearm straight to the chin. Probably lost consciousness for a bit. If it was a boxing match, the ref would have called it.

it was pretty obvious he was knocked out for a second or so 

[kevwun 15927]

I wonder what Pena's penance will be?

[tx 3 putt 77505]

I'm pumped for tomorrow. I'll be waiting in line at the center field gate about 10pm tonight 

 

let's get it !!!!

[Rockethorn1978 6107]

Maybe I missed something and I haven’t paid attention to any articles but why is there a random one game with the Yankees?

[kevwun 15927]

Makeup game from the lockout.  They missed a series with the Yankees to start the season.

I am expecting 7 Day concussion IL for him at minimum and possibly Pena too

both guys are in the locker room, but not allowed to speak with the press

not sure if they're flying back with the team yet

[tx 3 putt 77505]

Except with Yordan hitting off the tee.

[huge 3795]

Quick someone post the Yordan Dong .gif to embolden his spirits!

Trade him to the Blue Jays for a washed up lefty

My anti Jinx on Castro worked one AB late.

As late as September last year, the Braves were ranked 8th in this poll. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/32127273/mlb-power-rankings-week-21-where-all-30-teams-stand-final-stretch-begins

In the end, WGAF about power rankings?

For those who don’t:

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Easy to be bummed about Yordan, but I'm going into positive spin cycle on that collision. I'm thinking Tucker looks at that play, realizes it could well be him getting cold-cocked — or worse — on any given ball hit his way and decides he'd like to sign a nice extension of his own. 

[Amos Moses 795]

i want judge to win mvp like david robinson won mvp.

I can’t decide if I love or hate this.

[WBT 20671]

Judge as mvp runner up worked out well last time.

[henrygandorf 29195]

[billfromlaketravis 11528]

Another BS early game to kiss the YES Network/MLB’s ass tomorrow. 
 

Probably no Yordan and Pena. Need a no hitter into the 8th and Altuve to go deep 3 times.

Hopefully ROY award

while getting moved up in the lineup to get on base ahead of Yordan to  get him league leader in RBis

Odo is coming back with the red ass !!!

Take off the tin foil hat. The Yankees have to go from NY to Houston to Cleveland in 24 hours. A 5:10 pm game is not unreasonable.

A sub 3 hour flight, and they lose an hour. Thank God we’re letting them out early!

For those who don’t:

I always appreciated Robinson's response after that game. He was honest and deferred to Olajuwon. Something like "I know it sounds crazy but I played good defense. He is just incredible." He was always a good dude, and not just for starring in the old lady Texas basketball pop-up gif.

I remember watching that when it happened and my jaw nearly hit the floor.

That game ruled so hard.
