We had good news today in the Giants-Bears game, so hopefully things carry over into this game. The third and final game of this series starts in a little over an hour. It's the last chance for the Mets to exit this series the same way they entered it: in control of their destiny to win the division. The game will be on ESPN and is the game of the year up until this point for the Mets.
Lindor and McNeil are hitting 2nd and 3rd respectively. Pete's back at cleanup an Escobar is hitting behind him. McCann is catching and hitting 9th. Luis G is at 2B. Vogey's DHing again and hitting 6th. Wish Marte was here. The friggin Pirates may hav cost Marte the season if this keeps up. Bottom line: multiple players in the Mets' lineup need to step up tonight or their hopes for the division which they lead for almost all of this season are toast.
If the Braves win tonight, they can clinch the division tomorrow with a victory in Miami. Their magic number to win the division would be just one. Now if the Mets win the game tonight, their magic number would be 3 going into the last series of the season against the Nats at Citi. none of that matters though unless they win this game tonight. The other 5 MLB division raves have been decided. This one is at a tipping point tonight, one way or the other.

Eric from BBI, ban heeeem!!!!!
Go out starting tonight and win 4 baseball games in a row, 3 of which against an inferior team and you can take a week off and tune up.
Let’s go!

I don't have a good feeling about this one.
But big picture..it's been a great season and we are in the playoffs no matter what happens...lot of baseball left!
Do my eyes deceive me? Vogelbach hit a HR? One of our trade deadline
employees came through. How improbable.
I’m keeping track for mental torture later tonight when I can’t sleep over this damn game.
Mcneil is at .324
Would love to see the Squirrel win the batting title

@Joelsherman1
Jeff McNeil now 2-for-2 with a HR. Average up to .32567. NL leader Freddie Freeman: .32666.
the scored first the last 2 games. tonight a script reversal so far.
They pretty much ruined another chance to deliver a real gut punch.

Where would he get the GG?? The new utility award?
Pop-up, strikeout, weak grounder?

I actually do believe there should be a GG for a utility guy.
As Bassitt gives up a leadoff single. Can we have a lead for at least one inning?
I was just thinking the same thing.

4-1 might have gotten me to feel good, but still don't
+1, Me too. I'm so finished with McCann.
I'd sign up for 3-2 heading into the 4th right now
And now 2-0

2 outs and he hits the batter to load the bases.

Of course, walks in a run. He's been playing with fire the whole game.
