Maybe next time don't spend $10M a year on the guy who you have to baby the horsefeathers out of to get down to a 70/30 chance he's going to get hurt

Kyle is the most fun to watch pitcher on this team, by far, when he's on.

I've seen him actually do that swing like 5 times since he came off. That was never going to stick.

That's just incredible. Never mind that Joe basically never challenges unless the call was clearly wrong (and he lost the one on which Strop got hurt)

God Javy is pure straight badass

Well, Russell is dead, everyone get excited about Murphy vs lefties going forward

You'd want St. Louis to beat Milwaukee? Does it have to do with them having to play Monday, Tuesday and then Thursday (against us) in that scenario? Yes. I'm speaking solely from a pragmatic perspective here. In reality I want St. Louis to lose every remaining game they play for the rest of the franchise's soul-sucking history, but I know that's not going to happen.

With the caveat that I'd prefer STL as far from the playoffs as possible, our best realistic scenario now, I figure, probably involves STL and LA tying for the second wild card and the winner of that tiebreaker beating Milwaukee.

Carolina has wasted the bulk of Cam's career with pathetic receiver play. I'm tired of watching perfectly thrown TD passes flutter to the turf.

2nd time in a row, actually. Brutal performance by the alma mater. Great first drive that they couldn't finish and then it was a bloodbath from there. IU looked really good.

They're basically down to Ohio State and Penn State. I don't see any possible way Michigan beats OSU and that's their only way in. None of it matters because Alabama is an unstoppable engine of death as long as Tua is there.

I've had that thought, which is strange because this is probably the worst team of the Maddon era. Sports are weird.

It sounds like his hamstring injury was not suffered at practice, so perhaps that was a factor.

It seems like absolutely nothing has gone right all year except Javy. For all the stress, it's incredible that we're in this position right now.

I was waiting for someone to blame that absurd decision to hit Strop on the DH rule.

Good job batting our only good reliever Joe.

Just keep playing Vic for a few days until this stops.

Javy waking up would be an excellent thing. Now get him in too.

Who the hell is this clown show and why is he destroying us

Montgomery can't keep shutting them out forever, guys, you should probably score a damn run.

It's so weird, Wilbon always points out deGrom is great, decries the Mets not scoring more runs for him, then in a roundabout way blames deGrom for that because of his W/L record. It's like he's so close to getting it but there's a mental block he can't get past.

Granted, they added JD Martinez, so that's helped, but Boston 2017 to Boston 2018 would show that a hitting coach does matter that much.

To be fair, our offseason might well have been the worst in history by a team that was trying to win. Milwaukee didn't have a high bar.

Lester, he's the best chance to drive in a run
