• Francisco Alvarez is currently the youngest player in the majors, and the only player in the majors who was born after 9/11/01. (Nov 19, 2001)

• Mike Piazza played his final game on this day 15 years ago, and now 15 years later, the best catching prospect in years is debuting.
Coincidence? More like fate.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Very frustrating.
Zero urgency displayed.
Does Max have blisters now too?
Pete in the 2 hole is still a dumbass move by Buck.

Marte with only one good hand would be a better option at DH than Vogelbach.
If the Mets find a way to win tomorrow they'll be back in a tie for 1st, and take the season series 10-9 to win the tiebreaker if they end up with the same records. But that may not mean much should they wind up as a wild card team....so maybe their apparent complacency has become a form of contentment...which would be a pretty damn awful thing if that's how it plays out.
Be that as it may..that'll still be a helluva lot better than not making the postseason at all.
So yes...in any event, I'm self placating preemptively...lol
