Nimmo's such a nice guy. Shame his legs are made of glass.

Meanwhile, the bad person I am, I am enjoying seeing Jorge Lopez' ERA skyrocket against the Clevelands.

Sounds like fun! Who is the tosser tossing for these days? The Cubs don't play until later.

Also, was the Ureña who pitched for the Jays in Anaheim last night the one who pitched for us last week, or are there multiple Ureni out there nowadays?

That was "our" Urena. Not staking a claim after one rather lousy appearance for a garbage save.

"Senga needs the extra day"

...and then goes out and walks five of his first ten batters, first Met since rookie Zack Wheeler to do so.

Bill on the North Side, Dave on the South

I messed that up. It appears that the REAL swish Nicholson was the second one....although the moniker could have applied to both.

Who's the new swish? Elly De La Cruz?

Right. I remember mocking the Gnats for counting the Tosser as a bullpen "lock" in the spring.

It's still kind of funny that the only regular-season Ghost-Fork start I've ever seen is last year's Attack of the KiIler Grass.

Add Squirrel to the list of Mets with bum legs. That'll teach him about tripling at his age!

Soto didn't bother with triples and instead hit two bombs in a (late) takedown of the Snakes. Pete hit zilch, spoiled by a feisty third-sacker, and an umpire with the mantra "anywhere but the dirt's a strike". Not that the latter helped Senga much (6 IP, 0 R, 5 BB).

I'm starting to like Luisangel Acuna, even though that first name does not roll off a German tongue with ease. I'll just call him Lacuna.

Mets now 24-14, tied for most wins in the majors ahead of a day off. And I am way past my bedtime, so ... (shoos himself to bed)

One of the worst days of my life, as the excavators made an unexpected return to my quiet, leafy neighborhood and clear-cut about 9 vacant lots, presumably to start building all around me. I "can't wait" to have a new neighbor 30 ft from my bedroom window!

(This happened in 2019 as well, but the development plans were abandoned, and we had six blissful years of peace and quiet and young green trees reclaiming where the original 100-year trees were destroyed back then. I mean, I can't move…I don't have the cash to buy another house and I don't have the credit to get a mortgage. This was my forever home…and now it's going to be boxed in like a tract home in Levittown or wherever. I seriously want to vomit.)

But OTOH, an entire weekend with the Scrubs coming up!

Friday-MLBN (GKR?)
Saturday-FOX
Sunday-Sudoku Channel, assuming I can get that without Extra Innings. We'll see.

Come on, Mets! I need you right now! [/whimpering]
