A Boy Named Seo

Harvey, you turd. Get it together.

Nothing has been the same for me since, but I'd love to see them win for my dad. Magic number away, Steve! Ah that was really beautiful to read! Damn '07 Mets!

So fucking what if they make the playoffs? they'll continue to pitch like this and they'll be done before I eat my second hot dog during Game 1 of the first round. Right now I see no reson to celebrate the fact that this team, despite their best efforts, is inching towards the playoffs. Its a joke. And its not a very funny one at that. Hey Tom Glavine, you suck. 2007. NEVER FORGET.

Libros.

sinking darts at 96mph. Familia is a monster.

Hot damn, what a game for Hansel.

I liked that quickie on Taylor, though. Dayum.

Zim was in the box and shoula been more prepared to go. If you're in the box and the pitcher is on the rubber, you've got no beef IMO on being quick-pitched. The time in Philly was a bit different in that their complaint was that Darrin Ruf had his head down at the time. Zimmerman has no such complaint. Nah, I agree with you guys and said as much. It's just not my fav move either way.

Balk play HUGE. <3 <3 <3 Cespedes!

I drink too much because the Mets.

Nice, Grandy. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

To think the Nats re-jiggered their rotation to throw Scherzer at the Mets today, while the Mets are re-jiggering their rotation to throw Harvey on ice. What a swing in morale a victory � dare I dream, a decisive victory � could provoke. This is bugging me because of how right-on it is, and how much of a dick-punch it will feel like with a loss today. C'mon Mets.

Niese is a turd. This suxxx.

I will not skip this game. I will watch this game. Because these are the types of games we dreamt about back in April, when hope was cheap and safe. Niese may shit all over, and in the bed. And Scherzer might throw a 27-pitch perfect game. Or it could be something other than that. It could be something good. Happy Labor Day. Kick some ass, Mets.

Chad Ochoseis wrote: There are three possibilities I see here: 1. The Mets never properly documented the discussions with Harvey and the medical staff about innings limits and/or never had these discussions. Unlikely, but the Mets haven't earned the benefit of my doubt on much. Barring this, 2. If Harvey has now decided that he will not pitch after 180 innings, he is an insubordinate employee. The Mets will suspend his ass, dock his pay, and do who knows what. The union will file a grievance, which the Mets should win (barring the circumstances of #1 above or #3 below), and the Mets will need to trade him this offseason. Harvey becomes Mets fan enemy no. 1. 3. Harvey is in some fashion hurt. This is why this story is so puzzling. 1 would require way too much stupidity on the part of Mets management. As far as 2, Harvey has frequently shown himself to be a self-centered douchebag, but he's never shown himself to be a fool when it comes to managing his image. He'd have to know the kind of shitstorm that would result from him telling a writer that he wasn't planning to pitch more than 180 innings this season. Even if he really wants to sit out the playoffs, he's smart enough to keep his mouth shut and let Boras take the blame. For 3, it would be easier just to say "Harvey's hurt" and be done with it. So I dunno. I'm guessing 4 - the media took a Harvey quote out of context and ran with it, Harvey will be there for the postseason, and there's nothing to see here. I hope it's #4, but I could see Harvey getting shutdown and saying that he's not injured necessarily, but he wasn't 100%. Boras could cite when Harv recently had dead-arm and got battered as proof that he needs to powered off. None of that shit would surprise me.

From a depth and matchup perspective, the Mets should do pretty well going forward using the DH against the AL boys.

Hell, even Crash Davis got notes delivered to him in the dugout. Not surprised Wilmer knew this shit around the time we all thought we did, too. I wasn't sure why the Brewers would make this trade. I think reality, sadly, makes a bit more sense. GIVE ME CESPEDES NOW!!!!

Ugh... Bartolo throwing BP out there.

Dipshit. Memories of Jenrry Mejia...
