    I think we all knew it was coming. If I remember correctly, I was hoping he'd bite on the QO and come back for 2016.

    My prediction: Walker gets traded for a starting pitcher. (But probably not Jon Niese.)

    I think Reyes may be benefiting somewhat from nostalgia. If he had been here all along, would the fan reaction be different? It's hard to say.

    I think religion instructs us to hate the sin, but love the sinner. (Not that I'm the least bit religious, but whatever. It's a good sentiment anyway.) I'll never have the affection for Jose that I once had, but I hope he plays well for the Mets, and more importantly, I hope he never does anything violent to his wife, or anyone else, ever again. It will be apparent to everyone whether or not he plays well, but unless some other incident becomes public, we'll never know the answer to the second part. He appears contrite. I hope he is. He's saying the right things. I hope he means them. He's in counseling. I hope it's working. But we'll likely never know for sure. This is not only an aspect of rooting for a sports team, but of dealing with human beings in general.

    Centerfield wrote: I don't expect everyone to agree, but in my opinion, the idolization of Bartolo Colon represents the great part of playing in NY. The fans treatment and media treatment of Matt Harvey this year demonstrates the worst. I think that's fair.

    I was gonna say, "But what about Scott Rice?" and then I remembered that rice isn't an animal. Maybe I need a nap.

    Eleven and oh? The Mets need to do something about that!

    No word yet from Sweden on the NHOP for this year.

    As for how this affects the Mets, it's a shame that they won't have the Matt Harvey of 2015, but they already didn't have that Matt Harvey. I don't think that whatever Logan Verrett provides will be much less than what Harvey was doing. I looked to see who might be available at AAA, and these are the 51s who have started the most games this season: [list:5v7chqqu]Gabriel Ynoa (17 starts, 9-3, 3.92 ERA) Rafael Montero (16 starts, 4-6, 7.20 ERA) Duane Below (15 starts, 4-7, 4.53 ERA) Sean Gilmartin (13 starts, 9-3, 4.48 ERA) Seth Lugo (13 starts, 3-4, 6.55 ERA)[/list:u:5v7chqqu] I had forgotten about Rafael Montero! That 7.20 ERA looks something other than appealing.

    Psssst: You also need to change your "Wilmer Flores at Start of Season" from 30 to 23.

    Voting for all games played between June 17 and June 30 will close next Friday morning, July 15, some time after 7 a.m.

    From this article, it looks like there's a good chance he's done for the year: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/matt-harvey-shoulder-dr-robert-thompson-article-1.2701775 The best hope, it seems, is that he has a herniated disc that's responsive to an injection.

    Travis probably figured it's best not to fuck around with Jose.

    I agree about the underlining. Maybe they figured this cover didn't have much of a chance in the 2016 Tabloid Cover Derby anyway.

    Wilmer Flores has started at least one game at each infield position this season. This is the 14th time in Mets history that any player has done that. There was a long gap between the first time (Ed Bressoud in 1966) and the second (Jeff McKnight in 1992). Bressoud and Justin Turner (2012) are the only players who have started as many as five games at each position in a single season.

    None of Jose's former Mets teammates are on the current active roster. The only 2016 Mets who were here in 2011 are David Wright and Lucas Duda. Since the end of last season, four Jose teammates from 2011 have left the club: Bobby Parnell, Daniel Murphy, Jon Niese, and Ruben Tejada.

    If he slumps again, put a Milwaukee Brewers uniform in his locker.
