I.G.T. 9/20/15 Harvey gets innings

[Edgy MD]

My radio feed has a terrifically misguided series of Flo-starring Progressive ads that make this evening all the more misbegotten.

I don't even know why I'm getting my blood up. This was not a must win game for us. We have some soft teams coming up. I'm still very confident that we will make the post.

But if things go south between now and Oct. this will be pointed at as the turning point and Harvey's career in a Mets uniform might never recover from the flack.

The Magic Number is 8 with 13 to play.

The math is on our side.

Oh let's not sugar coat it, it's a disgrace. Allowed the MFYs to gain a game on Toronto going into their series -- when they could and should have destroyed thier chances. And even if you don't care how much help the Mets gave the MFYs, we lost games to Washington and failed to take opportunities to better position ourselves vs. LA for the postseason. More to the point, we hit, pitched and fielded poorly.

Harvey was the only good Met in this game. Everyone else sucked.

At any rate, we'll laugh about this one in October.

Those ads actually make me laugh. I'd be worse off without them.

I'm glad. I was thinking she was missing on this series. I'll let her know otherwise, least as far as Massachusetts is concerned.

Good people paid good money, Mets. Don't be fuckin' around.

More like a stool softener.

Right now this team's somewhere in between "we can turn it on whenever we want" and "when we sip a little champagne later on, it'll be a little sweeter" --the faster they realize this, the better.

If this team doesn�t make the playoffs everybody�s point to how they lost ascendency in the Marlins series. When a team plunks your best hitter in the middle of a pennant race, you go out and plunk 3 hitters the next day-- just like Maddon�s team did. You don�t go out and do a Shawn Estes and call it even.

There�s no chivalry in professional sports, much less in baseball.

Boras started it, Harvey passively endorsed it. I don't know you expect Terry to do. Go against everyone and refuse to take Harvey out? Start another media firestorm? Will that work?

And what can Sandy do here? Fire Terry, make himself manager, and have Harvey pitch the whole game? Do you think Sandy ordering Terry to make Harvey pitch the whole game is the solution?

It all started with the agent and the player.

And the Thunder from Down Under returns!

I dunno. I don't think it's ever a good thing to throw a rock 100 miles an hour at someone. I didn't see the Cespedes HBP, but if it it's deliberate, fine. Charge the mound. Start a bench clearing brawl if needed. It's fairer than throwing at some other guy who had nothing to do with it.

And shutting the other guys out while hitting a home run is damned good revenge.

But, never mind that. Welcome back.
