Down 2-0 in the bottom of the 4th right now. The Yankees are already 0-5 with RISP. I know these final games don't mean much at this point but I'd rather see them head into the wild card game being hot. Especially with the bats.
And I believe they need one more win or an Astros loss to lock up the game being in New York but I might be wrong about that.
And Ryan better not see the fucking field on Tuesday. He's a joke.
No kidding. But at what point does he realize that's not paying off?
And Ryan is playing because Headley is tired. I don't like Ryan but the only reason he has a roster spot right now is because we don't have a backup 3B. Pirela could fake it in a pinch but it's not ideal with him either.
I hate Ryan, I thought they could have found a utility guy who contributed something else (eg base-stealing), but his versatility was his selling point. They overrated his defense, which was middling at best this year, but with Headley as the starter it made sense to have a backup 3B.
Joe just makes you scratch your head.
He should have gone full out this afternoon.
Two WPs, he didn't pitch well. They don't score with the blooper and the bunt.

the softest of line drives, a bunt single and a wild pitch and we lose the game. Betances didn't even pitch poorly.

McCann looks gassed too, that decisive WP could have been stopped.
Sorry. That's all I got.
At some point they need to shake off the hangovers and play some ball. Good lord.

McCann looked crossed up. It was an awful pitch.
They had plenty of relievers in Goody, Rumbelow, Pinder, Bailey, etc., if he would have kept one or two up the whole time and let them get comfortable.
Zobrist? You would have wanted to give up Bird or Mateo for 2 months of Zobrist? Because that's what Billy Beane was asking for.
Sorry. That's all I got.

Mets are done. Nice story but not the team of NY
But they're definitely not done this year. They're better than the Yankees this year unless the Yankees somehow go further in the playoffs. I'm not holding my breath.

Plus when Cespedes leaves, they may be one and done. It's not fair to compare 27. I think since 1962, the Yankees have won 8 to the Mets 2. Minor league team is harsh but I guess you're right.
Francesca is right - the Yankees have what he calls "the Yankees magic". They'll find a way. Mets may be facing a sweep by LA and then 9 years of playoff-less baseball.
