Winning games on Juan Soto’s legs? Not how the #Mets originally drew this thing up. But their misfiring offense is scraping for runs on the margins, and now it’s time to hope Francisco Alvarez’s Syracuse power travels to Flushing. nwsdy.li/4kR05Tg
David Stearns didn't express a sense of trade deadline urgency with #Mets sputtering offense, encouraged by what he felt was progress at the two shakiest spots: CF and 3B. But those are risky gambles for his $325 million, World Series-or-bust team. bit.ly/3IVniGh
Francisco Alvarez looks different since returning from Syracuse. #Mets
Tiffany Stratton brandished the chair.
The Bronx giraffe just took a folding chair to the kidney from the one of the women wrestlers here at Citi this evening. #Mets

Talking David Wright’s big day plus current #Mets and #Yankees tonight on @SportsFinal4NY ! My guest: baseball columnist extra-ordinare @DPLennon of @NewsdaySports ! Join us at midnight on @NBCNewYork !
Can confirm @NYPost_Mets report that Francisco Alvarez is headed to Flushing. Alvarez was on a tear at Triple-A Syracuse, with seven homers in his last 19 at-bats, and it's no secret #Mets are searching for an offensive spark.
Alonso was welcomed with loud applause when he was shown on the videoboard. The restless Citi crowd is now chanting his name.
Pete Alonso, who did not start today because of a right hand contusion, has now entered the game in the seventh inning at first base. #Mets

The 2015 Mets season was my first covering baseball, and I still remember this like it was yesterday.
"I certainly wouldn't call mine a storybook ending." Flushing isn't a fantasy land, things rarely work out, and you can be romantic about baseball, but at your own risk. For one special day, though, David Wright finally got his happily ever after. Column: newsday.com/sports/basebal…
Yankees’ Old-Timers will play baseball, not softball, on old timers day. And a certain former captain is not planning to attend. newsday.com/sports/basebal…
Is struggling Francisco Lindor going to be the next Mets captain? Let’s go to the (deleted) video newsday.com/sports/basebal…
The #Yankees and #Mets both wrapped up a bumpy first half in second place. Starting Friday, though the end of October, finishing runner-up is no longer an option for New York's World Series or Bust ballclubs. bit.ly/4kVElWo
