Can't see past the Padres. deGrom has fallen off a cliff in his last 3 or 4 starts and Scherzer hasn't been a lot better over the same period. The bullpen, Diaz and Ottavino aside is a bit of a mess too. Hoping McNeill, Alonso and Lindor can get us thru but not overly hopeful.

Biggest regular season series in years for the Mets starts tonight in Atlanta (weather permitting). We go in with a 1 game lead over the bad guys. Seem to be about to call up overall no 1 prospect Francisco Alvarez, slugging catcher, although I suspect he'll only see action as a DH.

Found his level setting cones up for 2nd tier also-rans Dundee.

Wife started buying the red stuff, as opposed to the usual green. I buy blue now as a protest vote.

Pretty sure he scored on his debut, as a loanee, and ran off kissing the badge. Total weirdo behaviour.

Grinding the country to a halt cos some auld parasite died peacefully in her massive castle. Beyond parody.

Only took them a fortnight. The Braves have been the best team in baseball imo after their abysmal first month or so.

That's cute that Partick still think we're wee guys, and they can hoover up our best players. I doubt j-low has deep enough pockets for Dipo.

I think Jack Ruddy would be a contender for the worst loan in the history of football, let alone the worst loan in our history. Absolute fraud of a goalie.

Oh my

He was channeling Cafu and Bobby Carlos there.

What a fucking goal.

Which would still place it significantly above the city of Dundee in the attractiveness stakes.

Can see the Braves catching the Mets now. Mets haven't done much wrong but the Braves have been absolutely relentless the last month or two. A wildcard is more or less a lock for the NL East runner up anyway.

About as surprising as it is pleasing. It's at least 5 points more than I thought we'd have after the league cup. Fair play, there's maybe a team in there after all.

Who owned the club before Weir got involved? Was Low there prior to him throwing money in?

This is my concern. We're going to end up with Bangala as our lot if we're lucky.

DeGrom looks back to his best after just 3 starts. 6 innings, 2 hits, 10k and no walks or runs last night v Phillies. Era in his 3 starts is 1.62. This is after a full year out. He was hitting 102mph and a slider in mid 90s. He is going to get paid when he opts out at the end of the season.

Still no sign of Bangala then?

I don't know if they'll catch the Dodgers but they're going to be a massive danger in the play-offs. Drury kind of got lost amidst the Soto trade but he's a really solid player and he's having a good season.

I don't think so. The price will be really steep, and I think the Nats will hold off until they have new ownership in before they decide what to do with him.

Probably emailing Dear Deidre.

This is what happens when, by his own admission, he has zero friends and his wife doesn't let him out. What an existence.

Scherzer is absolute filth. 7 shutout innings against the Yankees as the Mets sweep the subway series.

It's nothing to do with the fact that Smith looks like he's hired 3 haddies on the spin now, the squad is about as unbalanced as it was this time last year under Hopkin and we've gone 4 league cup games without a clear formation or tactic. It's definitely down to a few folk on here having a wee moan about the above.
