Won't deGrom's start be the third straight where the Cy Young award winner will be facing another Cy Young award winner (Scherzer, Kershaw and now, Greinke)? I wonder if that's some sort of record?

A person who misses have a season because he got shot in the head is a poorer bet to perform than a person who misses half a season because of a prior commitment to play Premier League Soccer/Football. All of this is probably true. But none of it disproves the idea that a half season lost, even if not injury related, might bring about or hasten the decline of a returning 36 year old veteran. Did Cano go off to serve in the Marines? Just askin'.

=LWFS post_id=11653 time=1559275860 user_id=84] Who would have guessed that the one starter to give us seven strong this series would be ol' Edward James Vargas? -

We gave up our top prospect to get a 36 year old who missed a nice chunk of last season. Guys that age who miss that much of the last season fare dreadfully historically. They don't bounce back as easy as a 28 year old. Plus we know he's gonna decline which he might be doing right now, just weeks into his contract. All because the Mets were too cheap to sign Machado, a top tier FA. With a hole at 3B and with McNeil, who showed he could play second. But the NY NL team isn't allowed to go after baseball's best players. Well, the butcher's bill may already be due on Cano. You get what you pay for. Or dont pay for because the Mets gave away top prospects for Cano. Because they're cheap. And slimy enough to include Wright and Cespedes's contract when asked about their total payroll.

And the UFO's, too.

It never occurred to me to complain that the Jock cover was mimicking the famous Iwo Jima photo. Nothing's so sacred is my first instinct even though there are exceptions I'd make -- but not the Iwo Jima photo in the context of the Jock cover. But what always did bother me about that cover was how obviously fake the Mets uniforms were.

“Today was easily the worst day of my career,” Diaz said after blowing his second save of the season. “The worst game of my career, the worst game of the season for me. I thought I threw excellent pitches for strikes. I was throwing the ball where I wanted to and they just got me.” https://nypost.com/2019/05/30/edwin-diaz-implodes-in-ninth-as-mets-suffer-brutal-loss-to-dodgers/https://nypost.com/2019/05/30/edwin-diaz-implodes-in-ninth-as-mets-suffer-brutal-loss-to-dodgers/ If he was throwing "excellent pitches... where [he] wanted" then he, and they, and we, are in big trouble. Yeah. Either that or that fucking Dodgers team is fucking ferocious. Big market team with a league average team payroll, right? Sarcasm alert for kcmets: When I refer to the Dodgers as a big market team with a league average payroll, I'm actually taking a shot at the cheapass Mets even though I dont say cheapass or Mets or even address the Mets in that comment.

I'm not going to try and convince people here that “I appreciate the opportunity they gave me,” doesn't equal "go fuck yourselves." In this case, it does. You just can't see the subtlety of these things. The ironies and the sarcasm. You're a literalist. Not to mention that if DGW was the one who started this thread, you wouldn't have said a word. But thank you for giving me the opportunity to post my opinions on this here wonderful forum.

WTF happened? I went to sleep after that half inning where Amed & Dom back to backed. Then Alonso singled and Conforto doubled with nobody out and the Mets stranded those two. Then I left thinking that normally, I'd be bitching that those LOB's are gonna cost the Mets. But not tonight. This one's in the bag.

Edgy MD wrote: No, it's not whatever I say it is. If you don't care for the facts, that's not on me. Please don't ask me "What are you saying?" again. You're just looking to disagree with me, aren't you? By "whatever you say it is", I'm saying that I agree with you on the numbers. Which should be clear from the rest of the post. But that's not enough for you. Then you throw in that it's my narrative that the Mets had to borrow chump change from MLB. To keep the lights on no less. That's not a disgrace on the Mets. That's biased ol' me shitting on two first place finishes in 31 seasons Mr. Wilpon. My narrative. Oh my. Narrative. And then the usual idiot piles on and if it's me, he'll pile on even if he has no idea what it is me and you are disagreeing about, which he never does. You think I didnt know beforehand that when I started this thread I'd end up answering three or six nitpicking or absurd posts ? Not only that, but I knew who they'd be from, too. And I was right on the money.

Edgy MD wrote: One is the truth. One isn't. It's not that elusive a concept. I don't expect anything will change your narrative. My narrative? Please. And I'm not disputing your number. I'll go with it, whether it's a K or an M or whatever. Whatever you say it is. It doesnt change the story. And its not my story. I didnt invent it. And I didnt ask MLB for a chump change loan, putting MLB on the spot by asking it to break and then ignore it's own rules. What are you saying? That if it was a $25M loan, it was acceptable?

It was $25 million, not thousand. BFD. $25M is baseball chump change: it buys barely one week of one minimum wage rookie's prorated entry-level starting salary None of this has any bearing on anything if we don't work with facts. Please let's try to do that.

Two first place finishes in 31 seasons. Wilpons. Wilpons. Uber alles.

Oh my God. I besmirched the good name of Fred Wilpon, who I'm always conflating with Stephen Hawking and Theo Epstein. Ceetar's not gonna have any of this.
