Just when you thought this team could turn a corner...

That was such an ugly game. Rojas has made some awful, AWFUL decisions this season. Ramos can't move and tag runners out for the life of him.

They had Estrada out at 3rd by a mile if Gimenez just holds onto the ball. That was difficult to stomach.

Hughes never should have been brought into that game. And then Diaz as well. Bring in Smith who is fully rested and has pitched well to close it out.

Should of kept Wilson in for a second inning to save Diaz and the rest of the bullpen for the next game...He only threw 10 pitches...So now who do have for game 2?

To add insult to injury watch Garcia will probably toss a No Hitter in his debut....

Can we not suck today for deGrom going in the makeup game this afternoon....The only trade Brody is allowed to make today is the one that gets Edwin Diaz out of town...

Football season yet? Diaz will gone down as the worst trade ever. You just never give up big prospects for freaking relievers. Sigh

100%. Rojas has looked in over his head all season, think it's time to move on.

If there's one thing I've enjoyed of this season, it's seeing your collection one card at a time. Keep it up!

I love seeing your collection, so I decided to add the one Jake card I have that even competes and help bring good vibes for today. Sweet baby Jesus do we need it.

I'm glad that the slow reveal is well received....here's another for today...

It's a 3D card that is why it is blurry

Peterson has been moved to the bullpen...he's been the second best starter and they take him out of the rotation...When is Cohen taking over, it can't be soon enough...

If even Cohen doesn't spend like crazy, there's at least hope he will hire a competent staff and hold them accountable.

He doesn't come across as the kind of guy that likes to lose.

His health has been poor for the last few years...was hoping he would make it to see the much talked about statue of him outside Citifield...
