Merriam Wester defines DWEEB as an unattractive, insignificant, or inept person. Urban dictionary defines it as someone who is intellectual and socially-inept, but also ineffectual and devoid of passion. However, both M.W. and U.D. have agreed what a typical dweeb looks like: Pete Alonso
Yes, Pete is the dweeb prototype and his “throw it again” will forever live in his head and his teammates heads when the Braves beat the dog piss out of them. I 100% expect the Braves fans tonight and tomorrow night to chant “throw it again” after every HR or hit that scores a run.
Last night, I went on a Pete Alonso smear campaign via Twitter. The goods:
- Pete Alonso kisses his grandmother on the mouth and his wife on the cheek.
- Pete Alonso showers with his underwear on in the Mets locker room.
- Pete Alonso thinks it’s spelled blue cheese.
- Pete named his 4 cats Pete, Peter, Petey, and Imadouche.
- Pete Alonso’s favorite band is Rascal Flatts.
- Pete’s favorite color is “the one that Elmo wears”.
- Pete wears his cup to bed for “pee pee protection”.
- Every time Pete grabs a bat, he says “I’m Batman”.
- Pete wears earplugs on the field so he can hear himself think.
- Pete will read all my tweets while in his bed alone and will say aloud: “I don’t get it”.
- Pete signs autographs as “THE Pete Alonso”.
- Pete likes to say “Told ya” when in fact he didn’t tell them.
- Pete asked his mom if he could get a set of drums because he “hits things good”.
- Pete calls curve balls “loopy loops”.

Braves Lineup
Charlie Morton takes on Max Scherzer tonight and I just got a feeling that we are going to beat the bricks off of the Mets tonight. Let’s get it boys!

Throw it again, Pete?
Tough luck, fella… right on the wrist.
Hot dog, Mike! Dropping a bunt every now and again is a great idea. Of course, they should have let it roll foul, but they gave him a total gift, and he took it.
Harris didn’t come through and struck out on 3 pitches…shocker
Thanks Snit. Morton labored all night so leave him in when he keeps falling behind and hanging pitches.
Thankfully my previous comment about Harris didn’t age well…way to go Money Mike!
I don’t think Snit was wrong for sticking with Morton, exactly. His fastball command was way off, but his his curveball still had bite. Morton just didn’t really have it, but I don’t blame Snit for not yanking him after four innings. It sure would be nice if the bats could do something against Morton. Other than Austin’s two line drives, they’ve barely hit the ball to the outfield.
Sean Murphy!
Man alive, this guy is something else.
MICHAEL HARRIS II!!!! How about that!!
Hot diggity, looks like Snit isn’t the only guy who can leave an old right-hander in the game too long.
hustle RBI double by Money Mike! In a crucial spot! and the hustle double mattered!!
Iglesias is probably unavailable tonight. This may be a bullpen adventure.
“If adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones,” which is an apt old marketing slogan, because Kirby Yates’ middle name is, of course, Kali, and this game is headed to Hell as Yates throws it all over the place. Man alive, he’s terrible.
Illustrated by the Kirby Yates experience
Like the Kirby of Planet PopStar, this guy sucks.
AA will be looking for relief help through trade. Yates and Jimenez aren’t cutting it. McHugh’s peripherals have been shaky, and Muñez is a raw lottery ticket.
Oh, my good Lord, watching Michael Harris go get it is just a pleasure.
Defense don’t slump, yo.
Surprised Buck is leaving in a LHP here.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Holy buckets! A bomb by Money Mike!
As I said earlier today, let Mike play!!
Wow.
Let’s don’t forget to give credit to the bullpen—they’ve been outstanding lately.
What Michael Harris problem?
I think Money Mike was trying to compete on defense with El Abusador. Two astounding defensive plays.
This has been a very fun series. It appears as though the team has turned the corner after that A’s debacle. Let’s sweep these bums tomorrow.
And yes, the bullpen has been much improved of late. Long may it continue.
That was another great/fun win. Please let this be Harris getting it together, please!
Part of the fun to me about pitchers hitting was that there was always the chance, however slight, to see something truly unexpected happen when one of them came to the plate. Given that Harris has been hitting like a pitcher this year (non-Shohei division), that HR last night was almost the next best thing.
Another come from behind victory for the Braves!
Michael Harris was fantastic, Riley had a couple of hard-hit singles, and Sean Murphy continues to be extremely valuable on both sides of the ball. Also, it was nice to actually out-BABIP the Mets for a change.
Using Kirby Yates in the 7th inning of a one-run game was…a decision. Don’t think he’s really deserving of a roster spot anymore. Ronnie really bailed him out with that nice catch up against the wall.
Let’s break out the brooms tonight!
These last two games might have been the most enjoyable of the season. They were so nice, I watched them twice!
