Marching to Atlanta -- IGT 5/29, Game #3 of 4

[Centerfield]

Conforto is just swinging and missing so much this year.

Just ugly. This team is just walking misery.

[Edgy MD]

Bautista. Really going with the backenders tonight.

[Guest d'Kong76]

That top of the 9th sucked unhygienic rear end.

[Centerfield]

Edgy gets his wish. Let’s see what this kid has.

Would have been nice if our hottest hitter didnt give up the first strike trying to do just that.

[nymr83]

That was a Fucking Laser - fuck the bullpen

[Edgy MD]

Yup, and failing. Not that his swings looked much better.

But good night, Mets.

[Guest 41Forever]

Awful.

[Frayed Knot]

Camargo and Culberson now have four combined HRs on the year ... half of which have been walk-offs vs the Mets

[Centerfield]

But think of all that salary the Wilpons saved last year.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Your .500 NYM...

[Frayed Knot]

That's their sixth walk-off loss of the year (they've won two) and, of their last six losses, three have come via walk-offs (2 HRs and a bases-loaded BB).

This is called "Kenny Rogers Style" it feels like he would fit in perfectly on this team along with Mel Rojas.

Some days you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time

I decided not to watch the game last night. I checked the score with the Mets up 6-3 in the bottom of the 7th before going to bed. I awoke this morning and after grabbing breakfast thought, "Well, let's see how the Mets lost last night." I pulled up MLB and see a headline of the Braves walk off victory. I wasn't the least bit surprised. Sadly, I wasn't even upset. At this point, I am surprised when they actually win, not when they find ways to blow leads in the final innings and lose.

[MFS62]

Painful.

Later

[Lefty Specialist]

Couldn't watch. Glad I didn't.

Well, on the other hand, my summer looks like it's freeing up a bit.

Exactly

And Matz’s finger injury get exactly one comment shows how much we’re getting used to that too

On Monday, I was driving home. At one point I checked the score, saw that they were up 2-0 with deGrom pitching. I joked that by the time I got home, they would have blown it. And indeed, when I checked again, they had lost in excruciating fashion. That night, after the Braves came back to tie it against Conlon, I went to sleep. Last night, I watched the whole game, but when whoever it was hit the walkoff, I just changed the channel then went to bed. Ben talks about being able to sleep like a baby after losses like that. Last night, after I turned off the game, I didn't give it a second thought.

This is how I am about the Mets in lost seasons. And sadly, the feeling is all to familiar. I watch because I love baseball, I watch because I love the team. But there is no passion or excitement because they have no chance. And this apathy is being felt all around.

Think about RD's post above. We represent the top 1% of all Mets fans. If you are a regular on a Mets message board, you have to be a bit crazy about the Mets. But this team, this organization has managed to alienate even us. I mean, years and years of irrelevancy. Two winning seasons, then back to irrelevancy. Who the fuck would want any part of that?

[Vic Sage]

if they take a lead into the 7th, i turn the game off. If they win, its a relief (no pun intended) when i check the scores the next day. If they blow it again, at least i didn't have to sit thru it.
one has to develop defense mechanisms to numb the pain, because it never really goes away; it just rests for short periods.
