NYM 4, MIL 2; Mets move on

[quadruple-checks notes] Nope, that's...correct. Mets move on. "OMG" is right.

I'll spare you the "where were you when" account; I will say I had two calls coming in at the same time while trying to answer four different text threads...when not ten minutes prior, I had delivered a eulogy for the (very unexpected and fun) Mets season, because the Brewers are a better team and this was the correct result.

And then Alonso, picked by no one, did an Alonso thing for the first time in like a month. And then the Brewers, picked by one Mets fan whose name rhymes with Farah Funting, departed.

Classic BPP. 

...Okay, points:

Adames 1

Iglesias 0
Lindor 3
Nimmo 1
Vientos 0

A somewhat quiet night overall, and only I lost a pick, the probable LVP for this series. The Victorino is absolutely Chourio, whom I considered picking. MVP seems like it's Lindor; others had the same number of TB, but if he doesn't cluster his in this game, his team is done. JMO, feel free to argue it in the comments.

Going into the off day, that puts the standings at

13 Cameron Folie a Deux
10 Brady
9 Bauer OMG

7 SDB Sorry
5 Bingham 1
4 Reid 1

3 The Wonsetlers, Drake, Stempel
2 Bingham 2, Reid 2, Fell 2
1 Dunn

And everyone else still waiting until Saturday. 

That wild rumpus starts at 1 ET with DET/CLE on TBS, followed by NYM/PHI at 4 on FOX, KC/NYY at 6:30 on TBS (Darling/Costas booth...sigh #freeRonnie), and SD/LAD at 8:30 on FS1. I have no meaningful predictions, only a sincere desire for you to check my math ;) -- see you soon!

Williams was tipping his pitches apparently!

That would explain a lot.
