Back2back wins for the Braves and back2back losses for the Mets.
People are asking if Vaughn Grissom will ever slow down
Man if we had played like we have since June 1 in April and may we’d be pacing 115 wins and running away with the division. That’s baseball though and I’ll take being the best team in the division in the second half
DA BRANKEES WIN
Two fuckin games y’all. Holy fuck
F*ck the Mets
Can’t wait until we sign Judge for 4 years 37M and DeGrom 3 for 25M with a NTC that only includes the Mets.
I like it when the Mets lose the baseball games
I want the Mets to lose all of the baseball games
I almost feel bad for the mets.
Your team is going into the end of August up 4 games in the division. It’s finally your year to beat the other, bigger team in your city. You get swept by the Yankee’s and the Braves catch up by two games.
Oh well get fucked. LETS GOOOOOO
Yanks giving Mets their hopes up lol.

“Dread it, run from it, the yearly LOLmets collapse arrives all the same.”
thanks yanks.
You know our boy Will Smith was channeling his energy into that game to give us that grand finale. Ever the entertainer.
The key tonight was the Yankees hit the ball hard and the base runners crossed home plate. This is called a run and it made the Mets lose the baseball game
A lot of days I think life was better before internet because I hardly had to interact with Mets fans. Days like today though, life is better now
I don’t think it’s as simple as a polite mod request to keep the Yankees sub off of the Mets sub after a game like that 😂
A win tomorrow and 1.5 games back would be nice
Yankees picked a great series to bounce back. Shouts out to the honorable Judge
🎶start spreading the newwwws🎶
I’ve never rooted so hard for the Yankees. Feeling kinda gross. Jumping in the shower.
Unfortunately, day game tomorrow.
I love how our post-game threads turn into Mets game threads. I’m guessing it’s the same on their sub.
Judge just needs to say fuck it and put on the Braves uni with a long term deal
Tell me someone else just saw that strike three call in the padres game 😂 that was baaaaaaaaaad
Nothing would be sweeter than the Mets winning 100 games and the Braves win 101 to win the division yet again and the Mets get knocked out first round
The thought of rat face McNeil nibbling on his cheese in disappointment makes me smile
🐀
CHARLIE BLACKMON: METS DESTROYER
Braves had to Yankees game on in the locker room after the game. Lol. You can hear it in to background of grossmans interview
Just a reminder if the Phillies had held up their end of things we’d be 1 game back or tied right now lol
Jesus. Was looking at the stats for the upcoming Rockies v Mets series and only two of the Rockies entire pitching staff have ERA’s below 4 🫤
Next year, they should get rid of the soft serve ice cream machine and order parts to a soft serve.
Every win, they get a piece to assemble until it is fully functional. Kinda like a wholesome version of what they did in Major League.
