So, the rainout yesterday was nice.
One, I really didn't want to watch a game after the weekend.
Two, I don't want the Braves to clinch because we lose. Let them do their own damn work.
Three, the Braves didn't win. Apparently, deGrom and Scherzer and Bassitt are all trash, but Jesus Luzardo dominated them. Peruvian Power for the win! (Literally. He got the win.)
Braxton Garrett goes for the Marlins tonight. Wednesday would be Sandy Alcantara…he wants to pitch, Donnie Unemployment wants to pitch him…but management insists on shutting him down. After all, he'd only have six months to rest. (How much the Braves are paying the Marlins for this decision is unknown.)
Anyhow…so I got to watch Five Days in Flushing again, and then they had the Friday game (with Wilmer's walkoff homer) on Mets Classics, and I normally don't get to watch Mets Classics (DirecTV classifies it as a re-air, and won't show it outside of the local market), but because this was an unscheduled airing, this was still part of the "Nationals at Mets" slot that they were showing me (because they think I have Extra Innings, even though I've cancelled it), so I was excited to watch it and maybe keep it in my DVR. So I was ecstatic…
…but because they showed Five Days first, the game ran into what would have been the Mets Postgame slot, and somebody had figured out that there was no postgame, as there was no game, and changed the listing and so the last two innings didn't record. Grrr. So close.
And now, today, I get one last REAL doubleheader with Gary and Ron. No "split" double-header, just baseball and then more baseball. No 7-inning bullspit. A whole day of baseball. Utter bliss.
…unless, of curse, one of the games goes into extra innings and I have to turn it off. (Never seen a "ghost runner", not going to start now. I don't even understand how it works.) But let's hope the Mets can do their business, properly, twice. As a farewell, that wouldn't suck.
