Meet the Mets

Around the National League East

Adam Duvall hit a first inning grand slam, but ultimately the Astros clobbered and clawed their way back to a 9-5 victory, making it a 3-2 World Series heading back to Houston for the sixth and potentially seventh game.

In honor of Halloween, Eireann Dolan shared an adorable story involving Juan Soto, bags of candy, and a post-World Series flight back from Houston.

When you aren’t being deafened by chants and chops, the highlight of any Atlanta Braves game are the musical stylings of organist Matthew Kaminski.

Around Major League Baseball

Former Red Sox player and Boston broadcasting legend Jerry Remy died at 68 after his fifth bout with lung cancer in the past twelve years.

And, for old times’ sake, HEAH COMES THE PIZZER.

Zack Greinke recorded a pinch hit single last night in what will almost certainly be the final hit by a starting pitcher in major league history.

In the first LIDOM game of his two decades of professional baseball, Albert Pujols chugged his way to a walk off single.

Unsurprisingly, the people of Texas are not very fond of David Freese, even ten years later.
