Met Wishes for 2017

[bmfc1]

Post your Mets-related wish for 2017. Just one (I'm a stingy genie). It can't be "that the Mets win the World Series" or anything related to making the playoffs, record, winning a certain number of games/not losing a certain number of games, finishing first, making it to the Series, that there is a Mets parade, etc., et al. It has to be specific, such as:

That David Wright does not go on the DL all season (that's mine).

It can be personal, about you or your family.

Kapeesh? Do it! And best Met wishes to you for 2017.

That none of the remaining Sunday home games are switched to night games for ESPN.

[Ceetar]

Duda stays healthy all season.

[Zvon]

Conforto rakes like Mex used to.

[Centerfield]

Ditto on Conforto. But since it's taken I'll go with Harvey returning to form.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Conforto to be huge. Huge, I tell ya!
Duda too. Huge, I tell ya!
That guy Brue too. Huge, I tell ya!

Actually this is too much of an easy one.

As long as we're wishing for stuff, I'll take 'Juan Lagares wins the MVP'

Comeback years for those who need one

Mets sweep a double header in Washington on the day Trump is impeached.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

All of our starters make it through the year and reach their potential!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

May Travis be the Travis Travis can truly be.

[Fman99]

The triumphant return, and ascension, of Zack Wheeler.

Anything I wish for pales by comparison to that one.
But I'll try - Wilmer plays 150 games (mostly at third base) and wins the MVP.

Later

[DocTee]

that the organization comes to its senses and adopts "Meet the Mets" as it's signature seventh-inning stretch sing along song.

[A Boy Named Seo]

+1 for bmfc1 and JCL's. I wouldn't even know what to expect out of David Wright if he appeared in > 145 games, but what a thing that would be.

I'm going to wish that no Met acts like an asshole in 2k17. Fulfillment of that would result in no arrests, no suspensions, no mistreated WAGs/significant others, nobody acting like a jagoff Papelbon. Honorable dudes, no assholes.

[smg58]

That I get to Citi for the first time since becoming a dad.

[Lefty Specialist]

30 starts apiece for the Big Four. If that happens, everything else will fall into place.

I think it's much more likely that Trump is assassinated than impeached, though the odds of either one happening are extremely slim. Now if Trump was a Democrat, the band of shameless hypocrites that is the GOP would probably have the articles of impeachment already prepared. And then just to make an even bigger spectacle of the whole thing, they'd probably serve those papers on Trump on national TV about two seconds after he's sworn in as President.

I'd like to see the Mets lock at least one of the stud starters into a longer-term deal. Nothing crazy, because we know that pitchers are fragile. But I don't want to hear talk about them trading them off because we can't afford them.

Also, is there a chance we can keep some of the nasty political rhetoric out of the baseball threads? There are at least two political threads in the non-baseball forum dedicated to this kind of stuff. It's starting to bleed over and I bet I'm not the only one who would like a respite. Am I the only one?

Thanks!

Tom Seaver 50th Anniversary Weekend, celebrating the debut of the greatest player in franchise history.

I'm with you - I was about to write a nasty response to one of them but i refrained as we already have that in politics threads. keep it there, or risk the baseball forum becoming unreadable.

I'll wish for d'Arnaud or Plawecki garnering some MVP votes and someone finally claiming that job for the long term.

This would be AWESOME!

[Chad ochoseis]

I generally ignore individual awards, but a Cy Young and Silver Slugger for Syndergaard would be awesome.

[ashie62]

deGrom Harvey Matz and Wheeler pitch well.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I gotta be honest I think I will be rooting harder for Trump to lose than the Mets to win in 2017.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Oh and I forgot: I'd also like for the Mets to celebrate the anniversary of Seaver's debut and also paint the walls white. Or toothpasty mint.

This implies a rainout, which would bum me out, though it would allow more time to watch decisive impeachment hearings.

I don't even talk politics online because it's just a waste of typing and I'm not a fan of typing. I'm also not a fan of banning anyone for their words or views whether I like what they say or not. So if you're banning, I'm with JCL.

I agree it shouldn't be conducted in this section but people are people and they will do what they do. It's not a crime that such a discussion took place in the baseball section. I ran a message board a few times. You cannot control people, only contain them. So move on, nothing to see here.

Except maybe those minty white walls if Batmags gets his wish. It will be 50 years. Oh my gosh. They gotta do something super special!
