Funny thing is, I think Butto is better than both Bauers & Frelick

I think it's fair to say the problem was with the Brewers fans, not Winker

That lead off walk was the killer.  He's given up 11 walks all year.  He can't give up a walk in the 9th up by 2.

Joe Ross to the rescue!

What a game. That's 2 incredible comebacks this week for the Mets. I have to root for them now against the Phillies.

Winker brought the wrath of the Brewer fans on himself by what he was yelling when he hit that triple the first game. Doesn't bother me, baseball could use some trash talking.

Gotta be a few teams wishing they went after Trevor Williams or Finnegan.

Huh? Do you think Finnegan would have gotten the nod over Devon Williams? LOL. And our Williams was hurt until the final week.

For real. If Finnegan is still our closer in August, then we are 10 games below .500

But if you know he's throwing a fastball on a 3-1 count, you can hit it over the wall

that was something like Alonso's 3rd oppo homer all year. Almost like Howie and clang.

I don't know Phillies fans, but every season I go to Nats-Mets at Citified, and whenever the Nats play the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. If the Mets are bad, they abuse their own team. If the Mets are good, then all the drunken teenagers and dads from Long Island throw things at visiting fans. Maybe they have improved, slightly, this season: two weeks ago, only one group of Met fans sneeered at my Harmon Killebrew 1959 jersey.

Yankee fans, fans of the 27-time World Champion New York Yankees, are OK with any visitors except Red Sox fans, and then only when Boston fans try to start chants.


I've never been to Citi Field but I've been to Yankee Stadium: I agree,  I did find the Yankee fans "classy". I was surprised, I thought they were going to be aholes for some reason (probably due to sports media brainwashing lol). Why do you think Mets fans behave as such as opposed to Yankee fans? Are they from "lower class" neighborhoods maybe?

That Alonso homer was SO clutch; reminded me of Pujols' homer in 2005 against the Astros.

The Yankees fans in DC were totally obnoxious when I have been there. 2006 and some other year.
