  1. The good news, such as it is, is the Colon didn't walk anybody. It's only May 15, and April already seems like a hundred years ago.
  2. I'd like to think that the series in Chicago was an example of the axiom that you're never as bad as you look when you're losing. I guess we'll find out if that's the case here. Having Bartolo going against the Brewers at [crossout:16w7srhg]Shea[/crossout:16w7srhg] Citi seems like a good way to snap this losing streak, but I'm not having an easy time being optimistic right now.
  3. I know that feeling! I was there with Brian Williams when he got shot down!
  4. I had no idea that Mrs. Zimmer's name was "Soot."
  5. Voting for Tuesday night's loss at Wrigley will close on Friday, but not before 12 noon. Schaefer POTG 5/12/15 - Cubs 6, Mets 1
  6. I'll be content to give him some Schaefer.
  7. Geez, I forgot that today was a day game. I have some catching up to do...

  9. Getting David and Travis back should help, but the biggest thing they can do is upgrade the corner outfield positions. And that's far easier said than done, at least for the next couple of years.
  10. Harvey 5 Granderson 0.5 Murphy 0.5
  11. SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE WEEK, 2015 Week ending April 11, 2015: Travis d'Arnaud, 4.86 points. Week ending April 18, 2015: Lucas Duda, 8.80 points. Week ending April 25, 2015: Matt Harvey, 6.45 points. Week ending May 2, 2015: Daniel Murphy, 8.63 points. Week ending May 9, 2015: Bartolo Colon, 4.92 points.
  12. I wonder if Murphy is having trouble with the idea that it's his walk year. (Just a wild guess.) I know he's never been the most heads-up player, but he seems worse in that aspect than he has in the past. Not to mention his .230 batting average. Or maybe he's still spooked from having seen a gay man in a baseball uniform during spring training. Either way, he has to play better or play less. Maybe David Wright's return will force something to happen, but that's not looking particularly imminent right now.
  13. Voting for Monday night's loss to the Cubs will close on Thursday morning, but not before 10 a.m. Schaefer POTG 5/11/15 - Cubs 4, Mets 3
  14. Was Alex Trevino ever a Yankee?
  15. Plawecki 0.25 Duda 0.25
  16. CHICAGO (AP) Mets center fielder Juan Lagares has a slight strain on his upper right side and has been ruled out for New York's game at the Chicago Cubs. Lagares, who won a Gold Glove last season, has been playing with the injury for about a week, but was held out Tuesday night when it got worse. New York manager Terry Collins says he also might sit out on Wednesday. Collins says the injury is ''somewhere underneath his right armpit, probably caused by the diving catch he made in New York last week.'' Lagares, who had played in all 32 games before Tuesday, had an MRI earlier in the day to rule out anything serious.
  17. Syndergaard facing Castro. John Harper must be totally plotzing.
