CC uniforms are horrible. Worse than RU's Salmon unis.
N3B is hitting historically bad and I don't think he's spent a single day on the bench.

9 in a row, best record in baseball. What a difference a year makes as they were a bad team at the beginning of last year.
A cautionary note:The Fightins' are only 3-3 vs teams at .500 and above;21-8 vs lesser.
Who knows?
This team could be another '54 Indians,destroying bad teams with starting pitching while playing even with the big clubs.
That Indians' team went a combined 22-22 vs the Yankees and the White Sox and 89-21 vs the bottom 5 teams.
Of course,it ended badly for them as the Giants swept them in the World Series.
Are Wheeler,Nola,and Suarez another Lemon,Wynn,Garcia?

You can only play who's on the schedule. Plus there are teams under .500 because of loses to the Phillies.
Also, other than the Phils, there are only 4 teams over .500 in the NL.
Interesting . . . Bob Feller (two years from the end of his career) went 13-3 that year with an ERA of 3.09 -- better than his career average. Maybe Cleveland manager Al Lopez would have been better off pitching Feller in the 4th game rather than coming back with Lemon who had started the first game and pitched a complete game, losing in the 10th. But of course it was very common then for World Series starters to pitch on three days rest.
Mays' catch in the first game is what everyone remembers. But it wasn't just the catch that was important; it was Mays' strong throw back to the infield. Center field was so deep in the Polo Grounds that a runner on second could frequently tag and score on a long fly ball out, but Mays' throw prevented that and kept the game tied.
I'll be going tomorrow.
I don't think that it will be as crazy as was this one tonight.
Still,injuries of both long and short term duration are piling up quickly.
Plus,Harper and Bohm don't look right.

A lot of guys hurt and they're still winning. Imagine when everyone's healthy. Heck, they're not going to play .700 even if everyone is playing great.
Enjoy this because these are the Salad Days.
Don't be so excited playing the Mutts.
BTW, can you give the Mets Wheeler back? Met really need some pitching. And some hitting, and a catcher who can throw runners out.

Maybe you just change to being a Phils fan.
What's wrong with Bohm?? He's batting.333 and is 3rd in RBIs in the Major League
Man this sure beats starting the season below .500.
It's crazy how rare a 3 pitch inning is.
Did you all see the passed out Mets fan at the game? Was that ...2008?? 🤣
He's in a little slump. He was hitting .505 over a streak earlier this month IIRC.
He's out of it now. He got an RBI in two straight games without even swinging the bat 😆 and two more with a ground rule double.
I’m getting greedy and want the 4-game home and home series sweep. Ranger going tonight vs Lucchese and Walker vs Quintana tomorrow - both games at what should be a packed CBP. No mercy against the Mets.
Why don't the Mets move to Jersey City?
The 7 line is so isolated from the rest of the city.
Plus,the PATH trains seemed to be mobbed 24/7.
This area is way too crowded.

When Turner returns,Clemens must remain.
One of the pitchers should be sent down or released.
With these starters,12 pitchers are enough.

That's what good teams do. It was a big help that Sanchez, despite lots of baserunners, held the Nationals to two runs.
I was unfortunate enough to sometimes be in the same section at the Vet as the guy who would shout that.
Just so you know . . there's a video on youtube of Taylor Swift performing the National Anthem, accompanying herself with a guitar, at the 3rd game of the 2008 World Series -- which the Phillies won!
Another solid win. Ranger moves to 9-0. Will not see the likes of this again for a long time.
