  1. Soul crushing double play!
  2. Verducci reminding us that he predicted one pitch would decide this scoreless game. That man is one smart dude.
  3. Kelly Johnson and Kirk Niewenhuis hit clutch HRs. Something familiar about this.
  4. Meanwhile, Reedemption.
  5. Stupid and useless. Hopefully the asshole broke a bone on the play.
  6. Time for Terry to have a dress down of the team. If they weren't coming off a World Series you'd have to think his job would be on the line. The team looks like shit.
  7. Woulda liked to have Reyes here.
  8. Unlikeable couple skips right to blowoff at date's conclusion.
  9. Matz. Has to be at least kinda hurt if you don't throw your slider all game right? Mets downplaying.
  10. As a baseball move, I guess it makes sense, especially since the Mets seem allergic to calling up Herrera. Jose becomes a good insurance policy for Cabrera, especially if he starts to fade like he did in the past. Maybe giving him regular rest will lessen the chances of that. Even a creaky Reyes becomes the Mets' best SB threat/pinch runner. If he had been here last week maybe we wouldn't have had to endure Flores running in cement shoes as the tying run and getting thrown out at the plate. In the end I doubt this move will be a difference maker unless Cabrera gets hurt. But with the way guys are dropping like flies, you can't blame Sandy for collecting warm bodies. It would suck to see Reyes sign with someone else then see Cabrera go down for the season.

IT'S THE LAST FREAKIN' OUT OF THE GAME, what are you going to do, SAVE IT for another time?!? Wow, did that really happen? That's too funny. Washington loses. 3 games out.

  13. I really don't know what to make of the domestic violence charges. On one hand, I think it is incredibly dangerous to punish or condemn anyone based upon allegations or suspicion alone. That is a very, very dangerous path. Who knows what might have happened that night. Although unlikely, maybe Jose was acting in self-defense (See Finley, Chuck) or maybe he feared for the safety of his kids. We just don't know. At the same time, MLB felt there was enough to suspend him for 50 games, so they must have found something. Is there a report available? Maybe that could shed some light. And anyone with half a brain knows that it is still very, very difficult for a woman to follow through on such charges, and that there is tremendous social pressure to drop them. So chances are, Jose fucked up. But again, how can we know for sure?
  14. Inexcusable to leave him out there this long.

  16. We don't need no stinkin' Reyes.
  17. Wow, 2 out RBI hit? Is that even allowed?
  18. Bottom Four. First two on. Let's play WHO WANTS TO GIDP?
  19. Hansel's interpreter is not nearly as cute as Yoenis's.

But is a meh-BA (.274 this season but .249 career), high-K (150+/yr avg), lefty-swinging OF really what we want for a half-season? Seems to me we've already got our share of guys fitting that description and I'd just as soon take my chances with Conforto-Nimmo (sounds like a cloud of some sort) than spend resources on him. If he did come presumably he'd play RF--where he'd upgrade the arm situation but probably not the glove--while shoving Grandy over to LF and relegating all the younger guys to the bench/Vegas. Agreed. Pass on Bruce.
  21. And Loney should have been on 3rd for that WP. If Kelly's ball goes over Inciarte's head he scores easily. If it's caught be should be tagging.

Except that, they WERE holding him on despite Harold's claim to the contrary so it's not like he could get a monster lead and why wouldn't they have thrown to 2nd? Did he think Loney was going to try and score on the play!?!?! They didn't move to cover the steal on his lone attempt.
  23. Team needs a shakeup. Worst game of the year. I've seen enough of Teufel at 3rd. Absolutely inexcusable. Terry also fucked up here. Gotta save De Aza to pinch run there. Awful awful game. Ty Kelly and Matt Reynolds again getting ABs with the game on the line.
  24. I think when we look back on this season, this might be the game where we realized that these 2016 Mets are not very good.
  25. I like Conforto too. But the kid is clearly no Michael Cuddyer.
