Daniel Murphy’s cherry on top of the ongoing destruction of the Cubs was his sixth straight game with a home run—setting a new postseason record—and his seventh home run in these playoffs, one behind the record for an entire postseason held jointly by Barry Bonds, Carlos Beltran, and Nelson Cruz.

Matt Harvey Took Out Insurance On His Arm
The controversy over Matt Harvey’s innings limit turned out to be a lot of nothing: the Mets merely skipped Harvey’s starts and gave him shorter outings, and he’s off the leash for however long this playoff run lasts. But that doesn’t change the fact that Harvey’s already thrown 23 more innings than...

Howie Kendrick Is Probably Still Looking For A Jeurys Familia Slider To Swing At
Sports tactics are easier to judge after the fact, of course, and I am not a big-league lifer, so take this with a grain of salt.

Daniel Murphy Doesn't Want To Stop Being A Met Just Yet
Daniel Murphy’s Mets days are probably numbered, but he made sure last night that there will be at least a few more.
