Notes:
-The Mets are now two games below .500 now, with a record of 30-32 and are in 3rd place in the NL East sitting outside of the playoff picture by 2.5 games.
-Alonso's OK after yesterday's wrist incident, but Buck's keeping him out of the lineup as a precaution.
-All three of the three kids are in the lineup today, most likely due to Alonso's injury yesterday (I think this is only the 4th or 5th time they've been in the lineup together since they've all been brought up to the Show).
-Vogelbach is sitting; Alvarez is DHing in his place and is batting 2nd today.
-Vientos is playing 1B in Alonso's place today and is hitting 9th.
-Baty's hitting 5th and is at 3B today while Pham is hitting 7th and is in LF.
-Narvaez is catching today and is batting 8th on the order.
-It'd be nice if the Mets could salvage a game today against the Barfs and not get swept.
-The Mets' 4-man bench today is Canha, Vogelbach, Escobar, & Alonso.

MLB - Week 11 of 27 - National League Playoff Picture 
No problem man. If I've got time, I'll try my best to continue to do them. It's a nice table setter for our chit chats. I enjoy our chats now more than the actual games, lol.

Pete Alonso underwent testing on his left wrist today in Atlanta and has returned to New York for further evaluation. Buck Showalter says he is still hopeful Alonso plays tomorrow in Pittsburgh.

Gosh, I hope he's back in the Burgh tomorrow. This would hurt our season big time. Besides, of Buck fails I don't want him to use the injury card as an excuse to hold onto his job at the end of the season. Let's all hope we did ge this bullet and Pete's at 1B in 26 hours.

lol Dennis. It is what it is, but I really do like our group here. We've got lots of interesting info (Eric and Dan amongst a bunch of others), some dark humor, and an eye on the future. Besides, what else do we have to look forward to as Mets fan? lol.
How are you feeling? This time last year you weren't feeling that well

I'm alright now. Thanks for asking. I went through the same thing again this year. Working overseas so many years and coming back to the U.S. during allergy season messed up my body really good (badly actually, but you know what I'm saying). My body just wasn't adjusting to the ecosystem here after having been in the desert for so long. Hope you're well too down in Florida Dennis!

I'm glad you're starting to feel better. I hope that continues for you.
How are doing with the air pollution in the northeast? (I assume you're in the northeast).
Take care of youeself.

$345M shitty pitching, shitty hitting.
Silver lining I guess is maybe they'll be so shitty no one will notice Bobby Bonilla Day
The fan base needed that in the worst way!
Billy Eppler Destroyer of Trades Fist and Last of his name and third of GM Choices
They really have his number. They always crush it against him

Best case scenario for the long run might be missing the playoffs. Then maybe we can get a real GM and coach.
But Eppler could DFA Vogelsnacks tomorrow and Buck STILL wouldn’t play Vientos.
Billy Eppler's spending Uncle Stevie's money on over the hill pitchers can't be going over well at the home office.
Hard team to like, save the rookies.
The fat cat over the hill JVL's of the world are this generations Bobby Bo/Vince Coleman.
Houston was too smart to resign him; Eppler not so much.
They are very complimentary of Alvarez bat..but have some outdated info because they think he struggles behind the plate, which we now all know is bullshit.
