And then JD Martinez was robbed of the tying blast by Cal Stevenson (who??), Stank stunk again, and Alvarez/Winker/Vientos/Nimmo all made outs with men on base.
Tragic Number shrinks to 8. The Mets can win all 14 of their remaining games, including sweeping 5 from the Phillies, and the Phils can still beat us.
Of course, Gary is more concerned that the Mets' hold on Embarrassing Sixth Place might be slipping away, but that's why I periodically say "STFU, Gary".

Xander (Nicholas Brendon) is not happy to have been assigned to a Saturday class, much less one with a girl he despises:
XANDER: Oh, hey, gang! Did you hear that? A bonus day of class, plus Cordelia! Mix in a litttle rectal surgery, and it's my Best Day Ever!

Yeah, yeah, whatever, Xan. Here's how
my "fun Saturday" went:
Leicester City leads Crystal Palace, 0-2, but finishes 2-2, thanks to Conor Coady giving away a penalty kick in extra time.
SEC-leading South Carolina (yeah, it was never gonna last, but it was fun) takes a 17-0 lead on LSU, loses their quarterback, and is barely hanging on 33-29 when the defense picks off an LSU pass in the end zone and runs it back 101 yards for the game-breaking TD…only to have the runback canceled because some idiot thought the interception was a fine excuse to take a cheap shot at LSU QB Nussmeier. (Google Translate doesn't know what Nussmeier means in German, but I'm gonna go with "lucky prick". Especially as this was the
second pick-six he'd had called back on the day [Carolina was offside the first time])
The Gamecocks can't do anything, punt the ball, and Lucky Prick leads LSU down the field for the go-ahead TD. Carolina drives within field goal range, only to miss the tying kick on the final play.
And now, the Mets.
If it's my fault, I apologize to all of y'all. But I don't think you can blame me for this triple-choke Saturday. FFS.
