IGT 6/8/2018: MFY@NYM -- Fuck Ichiro's Former Team

[ashie62]

I already saw a reference to the Mets being sellers at the trade deadline. Ouch

[Guest d'Kong76]

That reference has been going on for weeks.
Cooby needs to start tomorrow's IGT.

If Gonzalez isn't going to-- at LEAST-- be close to flawless in the field, then what the living duck is he doing here?

I shall. I might as well try my luck

[Zvon]

Speechless over here. 3 runs in our last 51 innings. I've never seen anything like this.

[Centerfield]

This is going to be the least surprising sweep ever.

If they deal deGrom I'm taking the rest of the season off. Maybe next season too. Maybe three!
I feel the same way about Thor but I might,...just might, let that slide. Depends on what we get.
I want MLB ready players, not guys 2 or 3+ years out.

Our window is closing fast.

An YLDB (a woman) who used to work next to me just posted a picture of the line score on my facebook page.
On MY FACEBOOK PAGE!!!
Where's Samantha Bee when we need her?

I don’t believe the window is closing on this core. deGrom and Noah are still young and under control. Nimmo and Conforto are stars. Rosario still has great potential. Lugo and Gsellman are weapons in the pen and Alonso is on his way.

The problem is that they are not supplementing this core.

You can rebuild again. But unless we hit the jackpot and are able to develop an entire team like Houston, we will be in this same position 7 years from now when the rebuild materializes again. And we will be lucky to have someone as good as Jake or Noah.

I would have agreed with you before 2017. This team is so much better than this. I gotta believe that.

IMO if they blow it up, go rebuild now, and trade deGrom (and maybe Thor), the window is shut for the foreseeable future.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

Are you drunk? I agree that deGrom and Noah are young and controllable. Beyond that you're hopelessly optimistic. Nimmo, Conforto, Rosario and Alonso (?) have shown little sustained ML production. The love affair with our young "stars" is baffling. Cespedes makes this lineup work-- without him they are punchless.

This is a .500 team. Windows aren't closing because they were never open. They 11-1 start was a mirage.
