  1. I don’t think any manager’s number should be retired. But if you work under the assumption that this is a thing, you certainly don’t retire the number of a guy who managed four years and made the postseason once. The thing about retired numbers is if you have to explain/justify it to future generations then you probably shouldn’t be retiring that number. No one will ever question Seaver no matter how much time passes.
  2. I think you would find it difficult to propose a standard for retiring numbers that: 1. When applied, would justify the retirement of Stengel and Hodges' numbers. 2. When applied, would not lead to the justification of number retirement for people clearly not deserving of number retirement. I would love to see your proposal for such a standard.
  3. If Gary were alive today and had an ounce of humility and self awareness, he would have been the first to tell you he doesn’t deserve to have his number retired. Unfortunately Gary had neither, and probably would have said “yeah it would be GREAT to have my number retired” or something like that. is he already in the Mets HOF? If so that’s plenty.
  4. Tobias Myers gets the start for us. opposed by Eury Perez.
  5. Despite the seeming resurgence we’ve had recently, the Mets remain last in MLB in OPS
  6. You figure 12 weeks until Holmes is back. If you can get 8 good Senga starts it would go a long way.
  7. I missed this whole game. What a big balls performance by the bullpen.
  8. The Mets have butchered retired numbers from day 1. Cohen had a chance to make it right but instead just made it worse. Retiring a manager’s number is ridiculous. We did it twice. And neither of them are our winningest manager. Retiring Mays devalues all retired numbers. Retiring 8 for Carter would be as dumb as retiring 4 for Lenny.
  9. Peterson vs Cavalli. losing 3 of 4 to the Nationals would undo the progress of last week. Today is a big game.
  10. Not that it ended up mattering. But why are we pushing Kimbrel to two innings in a two run game?
  11. The Mets gave away 4 runs tonight. The culprits are Taylor, Semien and Torrens. Awful.
  12. I mean I don’t know why Tyrone Taylor is just sitting there looking at Morabito.
  13. What a terrible game. Mets have been playing sloppy for a while. It bit them today. Recent winning aside I still think the manager and his shitty coaches need to go.
  14. The Mets have been trailing in every game I’ve tuned into this week. They’re 6-1. So I guess there’s that. but holy shit is this game a mess.
  15. CPF. What can we expect him to be? Jonathon Niese?
  16. Makes no sense. It was 11-6. Which is only a 4 run lead with the free runner. Hard, but not impossible. If the inning played out like it did, they would have had the tying run on deck.
  17. A few more runs and I’ll feel good about our chances.
  18. Wow. That play was close. Wiemer should’ve been out just for running two steps on the grass.
