Yankees take game 1 in a 4 game set with Boston. Donaldson knocks a grand slam. Usually a good series even if teams have different seasons.

I swear if Ian Anderson can start pitching consistently and not like Ian Anderson the flutiest of Jethro Tull…we could catch the Mets.

My god, Anderson goes Full count every fucking hitter. That shit grinds my gears watching someone pitch like that

Mets and Braves will play 15 times in the 2nd half of the season, that will likely decide the East

Braves fucking suck in extra innings. Pisses me off so much.

Man on 3rd 1 out in the bottom of the 10th, so of course we strikeout so the guy has no chance of advancing.

Gonna be a nice second half…I expect both to be a lil active at trade deadline.

Braves may look for 2nd base help with Albies out and I would not be surprised at back end starter or middle relief. They may continue to try to dump Ozuna as well

That is going to be great. Both teams are very good. I could see either winning the NL.

Braves bullpen holds Nationals scoreless thru 3 extra innings, and the offense finally gets it done in the 12th. Pretty insane what it takes for Braves to win in extras, but they did it today.

1.5 back.

This is going to be an exciting series against the Mets. A sweep, gets us to 1st. A series win gets us within .5. With a series loss, only down 2.5.

Obviously would love a sweep or series win. But basically can't get swept.

Oh, it’s on tomorrow!

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.
