Dam--that was exhausting and I was just sitting watching it. Can't imagine how players feel but the bus ride back should be fun. Great series and picked up 1/2 game on Braves
2022 Mets

Jeezus I’ve been sitting here since 1 o’clock. Lets just say I wasn’t thinking they could pull it off, but…here we are.
A lot of time left, but really could be pivotal one.
Well we definitely earned this one and the entire Phillies series for that matter and the Braves lost today!
Maybe we start calling MayDay MayDay MayDay as every time he goes on the mound it seems like he needs help.I’ll save my Trevor May rant for another day. If we had lostI was really going to blast him. Might have to send my strongly worded letter of dissatisfaction! LOL. I can laugh now…but a few hours ago, not so much.

You guys should all thank me. I only watched 3 at-bats this game and they were the Phillies first three of the game. Once I saw we got 2 runs back in the next inning I decided not to watch and look what happened! Whatta win!
Absolutely Andrew! Now let's take two from the Yankees!!!
You missed one of the most exciting games of the year.
Is it me or do the 2 games with the Yankees seem anticlimactic after 16 of 19 versus the Braves and the Phils with NL East up for grabs. I just don't feel as enthusiastic about it as in years gone by. Worried about rain tomorrow and starting Max after his 7 scoreless innings at Citi versus them.

I’m not usually one for “jinxes” but once I saw we got 2 runs back quick I said screw it. The game lasted so long I had a commitment with my kids at 4 anyway so I couldn’t have watched regardless at that point.
I always thought the Mets/Yanks should be one series toward the beginning of the season. Think, May. I mean here we are fighting for a Division and playoffs and here we are playing a team (Yanks) that have nothing to do with it. Here’s the thing. They are guaranteed sell outs on a Monday and Tuesday. So….it ain’t changing.
Want to think about something worse? The Mets will play September 23-25 (September!?) in, wait for it…Oakland! Now just imagine the Mets going for an NL “East“ clincher in Oakland! 3,000 miles away in an almost empty Coliseum! This is completely possible and would be an embarrassment for baseball. I mean nothing says East like Oakland California!
I think the story behind this is that if a group (Phillies policy) buys x amount of tickets they can throw out a 1st pitch. The guy in the picture looks like a 7 line guy and I think they had a trip there Saturday. I am not certain of the story but it sounds accurate.
Yeah people might not like it but if you bring 250 admissions at MLB prices I don’t think the Owners care.
True Brooklyn, (walking to Ebbets Field as a kid) would still take more pleasure from the Yankees losing than the Mets winning. Rooted for Maris, Elston Howard, and Judge... to excel in Yankee losses.Great Find!
