That was about the laziest home run swing I've ever seen, and he just lobbed it out the park

Also:
Guillorme hurt himself running the bases in the 4th.
Escobar is now in.

Hope that's not serious, he's been hitting well

Apparently a sprained groin.
Could be on the shelve for a week or 2.

Bring on the Braves, we ain't afraid! Mets are playing like a team possessed lately. Possessed to win, that is.

Bring on the Braves, we ain't afraid! Mets are playing like a team possessed lately. Possessed to win, that is.

True...and obviously another series win against them would be awesome... but I'd even be pleased with a 2-2 split of these upcoming 4 games.
We'd still be where we are now...and with 4 more games scratched off the calendar.

LGM!

Medina gave up 2 runs in the 4th.
It's now 5-0 Braves heading to the 5th.
Not looking like it's in the cards tonight.
Making matters worse is the fact Cookie may have been hurt when he came back to the mound after the rain delay for the 3rd out in the 2nd inning.

edit:
Mets are on the board..on a McNeil double..a braves error..and Escobar's rbi groundout.

We are gonna really miss Guillorme for the next several weeks...and what he brings to the team.
Escobar and a few others need to step up.
We could see Vientos or Mauricio in a few weeks as September call ups..maybe Baty or Alvarez too.
Vientos & Mauricio are on the 40 man. Baty & Alvarez are not.
