SLACKISH REACTION: I dunno. As I wrote yesterday, I can’t be bothered trying to listen to games, and here’s why, and I sure as hell am not sitting inside when it’s nice and sunny. But hey nice to see that my #1 follower Yankees SP Noah Syndergaard is pitching great!
The Mets are just three games out now and only one game behind the Indianapolis .500! And now the Marlins! Part of what makes the Fake Pennant Race fake is that you can play lights out for two weeks and still find yourself under .500 and three games back.
I never want to see anyone injured, I maybe a jerk but I am not that kind of jerk – but the Cano injury came just minutes after the types of people who declare someone Next Seaver started writing about how Cano was heating up!!!
Hey Robbie, are you heating up? pic.twitter.com/bajEgyWm6Z

Always tap the brakes folks. How many times do we need to do this?

Anyway, with the Fake Pennant Race heating up, you’re gonna need a t-shirt because nothing in Queens is official without a t-shirt.
Now this t-shirt is to support the North Shore Animal League. I started a fundraiser. The shirts are $20…whcih means $24.99 after taxes and shipping and whatnot. From there CustomInk takes their cut to make the shirt, and the rest of the money gets to NSAL. You know, the place where Jeff McNeil adopted his dog from. So have a laugh and help animals in need. Buy a shirt.
Speaking of Jeff McNeil…
Let’s see how he and Pete Alonso are doing since the All Star Break. While there let’s check in our old pal Murph.
Gary Cohen had a fine Sunday afternoon!
Could the Phillies lose the Phanatic? Where would he go?
The 1969 Mets are also in a Fake Pennant Race. Gil Must Go!
Old School doubleheader tonight. First game 4:10!
