I mean, if Ty Kelly can’t bunt, what’s he doing here?

I’m with Edgy. Down 1, leading off against that shift how the hell do you not at least try to lay a bunt down?

I still don't get the rush to trade him 10 days before the deadline. But I just keep coming back for the Justine Ward pics.

Do we know for sure which of the three-headed monster pulled the trigger on this one? The sweetener of the international slot money seems Omar-ish.

I'm sure Mets twitter and Mets Facebook will be totally rational about this move.

Of course, it's Mesoraco not Cabrera thanks to that bullspit ejection earlier.

A NImmo HBP special! 7-5!!!! Bye bye Aroldis

Time for Nimmo to become part of YS lore.

Boy Cespedes can't even PH here as teh tying run?

Sure get 2 runs back then immediately give up 2 hard hits. Thanks Matz

Then why the hurry? Deadline is 10 days from now.

That’s two ejections today and I didn’t exactly see Mickey Callaway do much to support his kicked-out coach and player.

Really bad swing 3-2 by MdD

Den Dekker lost at the plate

Gelbs on today’s pregame reporting a Mets source saying the team had no idea that surgery was a possibility. What a mess. But so typical Mets.

The one thing I would say about your criteria (and this doesn't affect the Mets) is that I don't think the Royals, White Sox, and Astros would trade their championships for the results of say the Reds and Pirates. I would add the Marlins to this but f&$k the Marlins. That depends on the context you apply to the comparisons. The Reds had 2 different periods of sustained success since 1969: 1970-79 (with 6 playoffs and 2 WS wins in a 10-year period) and 1997-03 (with 3 playoffs in 4 years), with another WS title in 1990 and a playoff in 95. That's 11 years worth of playoffs and 3 WS championships since 1970. As a fan, I'd take that in a heartbeat over the Sox's 5 post-season games (1 WS) during the same period, with no periods of sustained success, unless you count the 3 post-seasons (with 1 WS) in the 9 years from 2000-08. That's 8 post-seasons +2WS. As for the Pirates, like the Reds, they too had 2 strong periods of success: 1970-79 (with 7 playoffs and 3 WS wins over 10 years) and later, 2013-15, with 3 straight playoffs, and 2 other playoff years in between (91-92), for a total of 12 playoff years and 3 titles, surpassing both the Reds and the Sox. As for the Royals, they had a great run from 1976-85 (7 playoffs, 1 WS, over 10 years), but they couldn't sustain success in 2013-14 (2 playoffs, 1 WS), for a total of 9 playoffs and 2 WS. Houston has had 2 (maybe 3) successful periods, from 1980-86 (3 playoffs over 6 years), 1997-05 (6 playoffs on 9 years), and their current streak since 2015, which (if you include this year) will be 3 playoffs in 4 years (1 WS). Their total is 12 playoffs and 1 WS, but they're in the middle of a run so who knows how long that will go? Florida has the 2 WS titles (1997, 2003), but no sustained periods of success, and those have been their only post-seasons in the 25 years of their existence. I would trade that track record for any of the other teams. To be clear, my comment on the Royals, CWS, and Astros was based on Centerfield's original parameters of 2000-2017. I do realize that I forgot about the Reds championship from 1990.

I'm prepared to be totally underwhelmed with the return of anybody we trade. The guy I go back and forth on is Matz. I'm sure we won't get anything significant, but I have no confidence that he'll stay healthy. So I don't know whether to trade him for basically anything in return, or hold on to him and hope he's righted his health issues.

Its a rite of July: the annual tradition of Yankee fans imploring voters/managers to put 8, 9, even 10 MFYs on the all-star team but protesting violently when they actually have to play in the game.

Fanfest is a lot of fun. If you can go you should check it out.

Down 2 runs early to Scherzer. Oh boy.

Win one for Sandy!

Best of luck to Sandy. I don't like the three-headed monster approach. I hope they will name a single, interim General Manager.

Real solid down the stretch of 2015. Particularly in relief of Harvey in what would become the Wilmer walkoff against the Nats.

Their pen lefty made it look so easy... We have Blevins.
