Mets finally break out the bats…just as a brief thunderstorm knocks out the TV, which is taking its sweet farking time coming back online. (The internet bounced back promptly, you may note.)

Tried to activate DirecTV's "SignalSaver" backup, where they send you a SD picture through your internet. Not worth the effort. Of course.

Meanwhile, by the Inner Harbor, Jacob de Grom throws 6 perfect innings, walks Holliday in the 7th and surrenders a single to Colton Couser in the 8th, with the Rangers having scored plenty of runs. So that moves him to 8-2, 2.08 on the year and a Baker's Dozen starts without allowing 3 ER.

And the cries of "**** you, Eppler!" once more ring out actross the land.

Oh, apparently SignalSaver™ doesn't work for live sports. I can watch Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service, if I wish. (I'd rather juggle Gordon's knives.)

At least I got to see Squirrel-Man scale the CF wall to steal that would-be dinger.
