Once again the Cards-Mets game from the archives starts in the second inning, and with the question: why is Steve Gelbs doing play-by-play, and where the actual **** is Gary Cohen? Is he well? (Apparently he is, but I could not google that for fear of spoilers for three hours…)

Tight game that somehow went to Boom-Boom Brazobán, which didn’t work out as well as I would have hoped. Donovan immediately homered the game tied, but Brazobán (10/10 name) held on to the tie.

After the blown save I demanded a walkoff homer by Pete from the universe because it owes me one, I claim. I got a Lindor walkoff homer before Pete could get a chance. I’ll be content with that. The universe doesn’t like it if you bitch about walkoff homers it gives you.

250th career homer for Lindor (and that thing was *gone*!), 254th all-time.

Somebody snuck up on Pete (and Jimmy Rollins) and tied for 299th with 231 dingers last night. Shohei Ohtani!

In general, the Mets make too many baserunning blunders, like Little Acuna trying to outrun a 78-time Platinum Glover on a grounder to third base…
