I thought at first it might be the northern lights, but no, Robinson Cano is actually on the Braves.

Wow. He was a stud with the Yankees back in the day. Guess Atlanta still thinks he something left even at nearly 40.

That umpire tonight was otherworldly awful, both ways, tonight. Just embarrassing for the MLB (if they cared).

Big series win for the Mets. Still a lot of ball to go. Should be a fun race to the East title.

Nice road win series for the Mets.

Could this be another subway series? Fuck, I hate the Yankees. They almost as bad as Cowboys fans

Mets kicked our asses today on the way out of town.

Morton started off pretty bad this season, has been pretty decent lately, then was bad again today. We really need him to be good to have a chance to win the division.

Now we both play cupcakes for the next 4 games. We have the Nats and Mets have the Cubs.

Both teams should win 3 out of 4. But its baseball, so anything can happen.

Side note - So awesome the Orioles are killing it right now. Cool for their fans.

I wouldn't mind a Subway Series again. I'd root for the Mets to win that one.

Rather that than:

Astors vs. Any Other Team
Yankees vs. Any Other Team
Dodgers vs. Any Other Team
Mets vs. Any Other Team

A Subway Series is actually one of the better realistic options that doesn't involve the Braves, imo.

Mets twitter seem to be split on the idea of selling the farm for Soto.

I say hell yeah, the guy is a generational talent and he's only 23? Just fucking do it.

Washington is requesting 4-5 top prospects for Soto. That's a ton to part with. Think they will have to dial down their demands some for Soto to get it done, although he's a great player. Still don't feel he's on the Judge, Alvarez superstar level however.

I just hope the Lerners reach an agreement to sell the team soon. It's holding this entire thing up.

After so many failures to retain their star talent - I was hoping Soto would be the exception. Rizzo - for our eternal gratitude bringing a title to DC - failed to handle the Harper/Rendon situations appropriately, if they knew a year or two out resigning was unlikely to happen they should've traded them and restocked the farm system - which obviously has to happen here if we can't afford Soto.

I still hope they resign Soto - they need a solid foundation for the rebuild and without him we're gonna have a very hard time attracting quality talent to sign with this team.

Anyways I'm taking the long route of saying I hope the Lerners sell soon - obviously they don't want to pony up the cash it would take to retain Soto. But if we offer 500+ and Soto still turns us down? Sell to the highest bidder.

I just want to see Soto be that homegrown HOF-quality player who spends his career with the Nats.

Really sux to see what’s happened to the Nats. Strasburg and Corbin…these guys look done.

My god, Stasburg is 35 million until 2027.

Corbin definitely. Hard to be mad at Stras - we wouldn't have a title without him. He's just had horrible luck since then - honestly he should retire too but I would actually prefer if they could shed his contract as well.

Empire State Building looking good last night

[sdskinsfan2001]

Yankees are a bunch of useless dickfucks. They are now below the Astros on my 2022 hate scale. I hope any other team besides them wins the AL pennant.

No more subway series for me.

Fuck them.

Braves get to within .5 games then blink and back down 3.
