Jessica Mendoza.

[Leafs2726]

Murphy lol yikes

[Leafs2726]

You know it really sucks when a good pitcher is ONLY allowed to pitch 5 IP. Makes for a long game.

 

Oh my Mets D looking like Jays today.

[Belliss101]

Mets are pathetic

[Leafs2726]

Mets in a whole heap of trouble.

[Leafs2726]

WTG Mets!

[Belliss101]

alright. 2.5 ahead now.

[Trouba95]

So 2.5 ahead. f***ing Mets.

[Stangstag]

Mets royally f***ing up this inning

[Leafs2726]

2.5 after tonight. Yanks are good

[Leafs2726]

Anyways I think the Dodgers will crush the Mets in the playoffs. Kershaw and Greinke, good luck!

[RealAccountant]

It's not like the Yankees automatically receive +2 runs once Harvey is taken out of the game.

 

Hahaha

lolmets

[Belliss101]

What a disaster inning

[43211234]

Thanks Matt Harvey

[venema20]

If Cespedes comes back to reality, which seems like he is, this Mets team will not fare too well in the playoffs.

 

Great young pitching staff, but can't compete with Greinke and Kershaw. They are a few years away from being legitimate contenders. Probably get swept first round by the Dodgers

Wow, Bryce Harper is so close to finishing the year with a wRC+ over 200. Only one other player in the last century has accomplished that at age 22 or younger...Ted Williams.

I'm rooting so hard for him to finish above the threshold. He better f***ing win MVP by a landslide.

The narrative will be that he didn't help his team win, Rizzo getting a lot of hype. Sad

Harper is posting a Bonds-esque season. No way Rizzo can win over him, especially when he's not even the best player on his own team.

That is scary. f***ing Cubs with Arrieta and Bryant. So jelly.

Nobody hit for the triple crown this year, who will the voters choose now in the NL?!

If only Harper hit with runners on base.

Boston Red Sox continue to play decent baseball. They have moved out of last place past Tampa Bay by beating them 8-7 tonight - http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2015_09_21_tbamlb_bosmlb_1#game=2015_09_21_tbamlb_bosmlb_1,game_state=Wrapup,game_tab=box

 

Luckily the Yankees have to play the Red Sox for 4 games starting next Monday and hopefully the Red Sox will help the Blue Jays clinch the AL East by beating the Yankees in 2 or 3 of the 4 games.

[L54]

If only Harper hit with runners on base.

 

I'd prefer a higher BABIP but oh well.

 

Edit: I thought Boxy was taking a sarcastic shot at the voters. Now I see what he means. I retract my poor attempt at being funny, but have no shame.

One of the largest players in the MLB

[Sammy225]

Former Winnipeg Goldeye to boot

Amazing read about Votto and his focus on hitting http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/joey-votto-on-aging/

 

Crazy how underrated he is and I'm surprised he doesn't get talked about more in the media in Canada considering his Nationality. I think he has a decent shot at the HOF but will come down to health as it usually always does.
