All because I once wrote a post explaining that I could care less about the Mets next year's schedule. I guess that makes me like Satan. I just noticed a private message from Edgy over the post I quoted just above. Here's his PM: Edgy MD wrote: The following is a warning which has been issued to you by an administrator or moderator of this site.This is a warning regarding the following post made by you: https://phpbb3.leaptoad.com/mets/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=199092#p199092https://phpbb3.leaptoad.com/mets/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=199092#p199092 . If you want a permanent ban, you are taking the right tack here. I'm posting it here for several reasons. First of all, I disagree that these matters are private. Everybody needs to know what goes on here as far as these matters are concerned. It helps ensure that the rules, whatever the hell they are, are enforced evenly and fairly. Even though this board operates much like the country is operating: there a poster running things at whim and arbitrarily, without rhyme or reason and there isn't a single reasonable check or balance on him What's the problem now? I can't disagree with Grimm's belief that someone s blocking me? I'm not allowed to explain how the blockf unction works? Shades of 30 day suspensions for posting "skullfuck" when everyone else and his mother has used words three times as vulgar. Or the kunt club fiasco. Ex post facto lawmaking and a 30 day suspension for using a word that was used with impunity. Whatever.

There aren't enough major league quality relievers to go around, let alone very good relievers, but that guy's gonna complain unless the Mets get Mariano Rivera in his prime. The Mets have been one of baseball's very best teams for the past 13 calendar months. The Mets have way more strengths than weaknesses. Their top half of the lineup is probably the best in all of baseball and must-see TV. So yeah, Stearns is doing an awful.job. Just awful.

That was also the day that Gary Carter, apparently, singlehandedly won four World Series titles for the New York Mets. And cured cancer, diabetes and asthma. And then ran into a burning building to save three babies and two kittens from the inferno. Because the big story of the Mets 1985 for all mankind to remember till the end of time is not Dwight Fucking Gooden, but Gary Carter's opening day home run, without which, the Mets would have never won another game for the rest of their existence.

What the asshole will do now, because he did it before many times, is to repeat something I said in one of his posts -- to further give the impression that he's not reading my posts and that he came upon these plagiarized thoughts on his own.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: I didn't know you were blocked and was saying that your Conforto guess had to have been correct. Thanks. I guess. But I'm probably not blocked. He just spited me.

What a fucking loser. He attacked me terribly all because I couldn't give a flying fuck about next year's Mets schedule a year ahead of time. I mean, they play all the same teams next year that they play this year. And they play all those teams the same number of times. more or less. So maybe the Mets play the Twins in June this year but in August next year. Whoop dee damn doo! Unless maybe you're planning on going to Minnesota next year to catch a Mets game on the road, who gives a shit? I don't. So sue me and put me on your shitlist for the rest of your life. Whatever.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: You're right, someone who blocked you would see this: batmagadanleadoff, who is currently on your ignore list, made this post. Display this post Of course I'm fucking right. I explained this to you specifically many times. All over this horseshit. Benjamin Grimm wrote: But someone who added you to his ignore list likely wouldn't be motivated to click the Display link. That's his right, if he really did block me, which I fucking doubt. But what the fuck does he think I'd be posting in a fucking quiz? And what about you? You guessed Conforto after I already did? WTF?

But .299 (20 for 67) since his demotion last month. I hope his AAA HRs came with Syracuse trailing because what's the point if he's only gonna hit homers with the Mets tied or already ahead? What the Mets should do going forward whenever they try out new hitters is to set the scoreboard so that the Mets are ahead by a few runs for the first 10 or 20 pitches. Then for the next 10 or 20 pitches, they should set the big outfield scoreboard to show the Mets trailing by three or four runs. Then the Mets should pay real close attention to what the batter does with the scoreboard showing the Mets losing. That's how to scout a player!

Yeah. Because a peak Sandy Koufax grows on a ****ing tree in abundance like green leaves in the middle of July.

What the hell is Stearns supposed to do ? Pull out a Sandy Koufax and a Bob Gibson and a Randy Johnson out of his ass? Don't you realize that the Mets pitching staff is decimated? It's as if somebody exploded an atom bomb on the pitching room. I've lost track of how many Mets pitchers are gone for the season. I think it's five already -- AJ Minter, Danny Young, Dedniel Nunez, Max Kranick and Griffin Canning. Tylor Megill has been out for a while and wlll be out for a while longer. Brooks Raley came back yesterday after not pitching in a year and a half. And 60% of the starting rotation is being weaned back from major injuries -- they're still not up to going six innings or throwing 100 pitches -- including their ace pitcher Kodai Senga and Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas,each of whom haven't pitched all season long until a week or two ago. What the hell is Stearns supposed to do in the face of this natural disaster? What could anybody do? Teams use twice as many pitchers as they used to do. And the supply of major league quality pitchers hasn't even remotely caught up with this recent demand for more pitching. So you're seeing a never-ending stream of crappy pitchers that would have never even sniffed the majors seven, ten years ago. This is a league-wide problem, not a Stearns issue. I'm confident that given Stearns' track record of building strong pitching staffs in Houston and then in Milwaukee, the Mets state of the art pitching lab and their owner's tremendous resources, the Mets will fare better than most other teams in assembling a pitching staff.

David Stearns, the very mediocre Mets executive, opted to keep Stanek over Phil Maton (currently a 2.55 ERA and 11.5 K/9 for St. Louis) in the off-season, LOL. Give me a fucking break already. The Mets had the best pitching in all of baseball for the first two months of the season and it wasn't even close. Their pitching staff was baseball's version of the Miami Dolphins early 70's "No Name Defense " -- the best there was even if you couldn't name two players on the squad. Where would the Mets be without that?

Mendoza went with Carillo last night because he didn't have someone like Jacob deGrom to go to instead. Or someone like peak Rube Waddell. He did have a different Waddell. Blame that on Mendoza, too.

The Mets should seed the clouds to cause rain-outs every day until Jose Butto can pitch again.

How do youse know that Manaea was handled terribly? Maybe if Manaea pitched another half inning, he would have sustained an injury that would've set him back two months. For every single thing youse think youse know, management knows 500 more things that youse don't know. Let's also blame Mendoza for putting Lindor in tonight's starting lineup while we're at it. Lindor went oh for five and barely hit the ball out of the infield all game long. Mendoza shoulda known how useless Lindor was gonna be tonight.

He even had a coupl'a extra pieces of shrimp stuffed into his pants pockets. They were hanging out of his pockets.

Then I walked around a little bit and noticed some other guest with a plate full of like 35 pieces of shrimp. Just shrimp. No lettuce. Or tomatoes. Or onions. Or anything. Just the shrimp from the shrimp salad.

Did I ever tell you about the time I was at a party and went over to the shrimp salad to get myself a serving and it turned out that there was no more shrimp in the shrimp salad? Just lettuce.

Me too. Soto can get a hit whenever he fucking feels like it and Vientos is gonna hit 50 HRs this second half. How's that for optimistic sunshine?
