Edgy MD

Next year's Nats are going to be a big mystery, as a big chunk of the lineup, plus several part-timers, are hitting free agency this off-season. Strasburg, too.

If that's passive-aggressive, I'd hate to run into Buck when he's aggressive-aggressive.

I liked what i saw more than i didn't like what wasn't there, if that makes any sense. That's true and my comments are largely informed by Ms. Edgy being disappointed by the film early. That said, do you not agree that the live performances of the latter-day artists added little to the film, or the understanding of the music and artists? The best track is a studio recording of Dylan remaking Stills' "Questions." Without the signature CSN(Y) harmonies, and Dylan tracing the lowest vocal line, which I never really thought of as the melody, the underlying composition really shines through. The rest, though ... let's just say that I'm not in a rush to buy any Cat Power recordings.

The offseason attitude toward Mickey seems to be beginning to center on "How can you get those seasons out of Alonso and deGrom and not prosper?" While I don't particularly disagree, that sort of perspective judges him out of context. There were outsized seasons — particularly on offense — all around the league this season. And while Alonso's power trip has been a fun rocket ride, it was hardly and unimpeachable season. He struck out 183 times, breaking the team record and breaking it by 13.7% over the previous high. That said it takes more than personnel to get the best production out of your team, but I never sensed a consistent philosophy coalescing around Mickey's management, and that was nettlesome. What's, um, Glenn Hubbard up to? He seemed like a guy who could manage a team. How about Craig Biggio? He's coached a high-school team. The Mets love that sort of experience.

I have yet to meet a Phillies phan happy with Kappy.

Somebody asked at the end of yesterday's game if the Mets had ever ended the season with a walkoff . The answer is YES! This is the Mets fourth walkoff win to close the season, against only one walkoff loss, and even that sole loss deserves an asterisk next to it (more on that below). First some background. Remember how the Mets started their lives notoriously bad on opening day, and even won a World Championship before they won an opening game? But since then have been an opening-day juggernaut? Remember? Well, the same is true, oddly enough, of the Mets on closing day, only perhaps even moreso. The Mets lost the ultimate game of the regular season their first nine years of their existence. That's an embarassing way to enter the winter (or, if it's 1969, to enter the playoffs). But since then, they have gone on a tear of 31-18 on closing days, good for a .633 winning percentage since 1970, anda a .534 winning percentage overall even counting those first nine years. They've only lost two closers in a row three times in this period, and no losing streak ever went more than two games/years. Unfortunately, one of those three two-game skids with the twin cock-punch losses of 2007 and 2008. Ouch, my cock. https://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj287/Sebassman/cockpunch3nlbn5.gif> But back to the good news. The Mets made it all the way to 1983 before a walkoff win ended their season. Wouldn't you know it that the breakthrough would involve Bambi's Bandits? Unfortunately, George "Bambi" Bamberger wouldn't be around for this one as he ended his season early to go fishing, leaving the team in the hands of Jumbo Frank Howard. With the Mets down 4-3 to the visiting Expos with two out and two on in the ninth (thanks for nothing, Hernandez), Howard called for Rusty Staub to grab a bat and pinch-hit for starting pitcher Tim Leary, still in the game after throwing nine innings. With pinch-runners Mark Bradley and José Oquendo also entering the game as pinch-runners, Staub socked a double to plate both of his fellow late-entering teammates. This was the second end of a doubleheader between the two teams that day, and I could count the Mets' 1-0 win in the opener as another closing game, since it came on closing day, but that's a bit of a stretch. This was the Mets' last season played entirely in black and white before the fun started in 1984.

Now get out there and hire Davy Johnson! The walkoff season-ender didn't return to the Mets' lexicon until 1994. And that was by accident. With two out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 15th of that season's unending ender, the Phillies' Ricky Jordan snuck a bases-loaded single through the infield off of Mauro "Goose" Gozzo. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI199408110.shtmlThe 2-1 loss was Gozzo's first career decision. Even more rarely, former-Met Tom Edens walked off with the win, the only decision in his four-inning career as a Phillie. Now, the reason there's any controversy is that this wasn't supposed to be the closing game. And there is a strong argument to discount it from this list entirely. Unlike the October farewells we get in most seasons, this https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI199408110.shtmlgame was played on August 11th, 1994. Following the game, the Mets, Phillies, and everybody else went on strike. And they never came back. Not even for the scheduled closer. Not in 1994, any how. If you disclude that game among our closers, the Mets all-time closing-game win percentage improves to .544, and .660 since 1971. Bobby Bonilla was the Mets' player rep that year. I don't know whether he supported the strike or not, but after the game, he was reppin' as only Bonilla can. [YOUTUBE]TuBVPIr5RzE[/YOUTUBE] Counting that or not, the Mets got the game back at the close of the next season. Tied at 0-0 through 11 innings, Tim Bogar of Dallas Green's Fightin' Ninety-Fives worked a bases-loaded walk off of Brad Woodall of the Braves. Jason Isringhausen started off with eight shutout innings, but Pete "Foots" Walker https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN199510010.shtmlgot the win in extras. Walkoff walkoff win number three came for the Mets in the pennant-winning 2000 season. With runners on first and second and no outs, Jorge Velandia grounded to Atlanta third-baseman Geoff Blum. Blum made a throwing error, allowing Benny Agbayani to come around with the winning run from second, https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN200010010.shtmlfor a 3-2 win in the 13th. [FIMG=500]https://alchetron.com/cdn/2000-new-york-mets-season-87174c25-d7b2-4b01-b07c-4d2218a6476-resize-750.jpeg[/FIMG] But the first walkoff HOME RUN in Mets history came yesterday afternoon/evening, as Dom Smith capped 2019, with Mets down 6-4 in the bottom of the 11th, https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN201909290.shtmlhitting a walkoff three-run homer off of Grant Dayton of the Braves. Thanks, Dom. I hope you're still a Met next year. [FIMG=500]http://content.sny.tv/assets/images/8/9/6/310969896/cuts/750x422/cut.jpg[/FIMG]

June 16, 2013. A going-nowhere Mets team was taking it up the butt from an even-worse Cubs team. The Bearcubs were ahead in the standings but their season was falling apart, while the Mets weren't sure if they were ever going to put one together. The Amazin's having hung only one W in their previous seven contests, Terry Collins wasn't too far off when he said it felt like they hadn't won in a week. And this Sunday matinee at Citi seemed like more of the same, only worse. Managing only three hits in seven innings all afternoon against Matt Garza — who up until that point was in the midst of the worst season of his long and solidly mediocre career — they took a perfect inning in the face in the eighth from James Russell, coming on in relief of Garza. Down 3-0 in the ninth, Carlos Marmol came on for the save — a save that wouldn't come to pass. Former Cub Marlon Byrd led off and broke the ice with an impressively deep shot to left-center to stir the team and the remainder of the 30,256 fans into motion, as the likelihood of a Mets win tweaked up from 3% to 7%. Lucas Duda knew the team could swing for the fences like animals, but catching up was going to be hard to do without baserunners, so he worked out a 3-2 walk. John Buck, who had started the season on a homerun tear, but was deep in the hole by June, sent Duda to second with a single through the right side, and kapowie, suddenly Jordany Valdespin's worst nightmare was the tying run on first. Now, another man might have pinch-run for his acrolith of a catcher. But Terry Collins was no other man, and with two big donkeys in place of racehorses on the basepaths, he sent his shortstop Omar Quintanilla up to bunt. Q, with faith the size of a mustardseed, proceeded to move mountains, laying down a textbook bunt to the third-base side to get Duda to third and Buck to second. Up stepped Kirk Nieuwenuiss, promoted only a week before from [CROSSOUT]Syracuse Buffalo New Orleans[/CROSSOUT] Las Vegas. Kirk was a heckuvan athlete, lean and strong — an off-tackle-running halfback-type on the gridiron, a decathlete-type on the track, but as a baseball player, he was an all-or-nothing type. He ran hard, he threw hard, and he swung hard. His game wasn't refined, but, oh boy, if he ran into one .... He ran into one. Nieuwenhuis was a pull hitter. The kind that, if it had been 2018, would have been facing defenses with all four infielders to the right of second. But after taking an initial ball Captain Kirk got one inside where he liked it. And he parked one where I liked it — way up in the upper tank of Citi Field right field pavilion. Pandemonium. Players streaked from the dugout, jumping up and down in unison, causing a minor (Bartolo Colón had yet to arrive in Queens) quake. High-fives, tears, and hugs spread all around the stadium. With his three-homer game more than two years away in the future, Kirk Nieuwenhuiss had etched his long name into Citi Field history. [FIMG=600]https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/-A5pRJ9SXSwgVPVduWwGzbNJXTU=/0x0:2529x3161/1200x800/filters:focal(689x798:1093x1202)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/65316609/usa_today_13409875.0.jpg[/FIMG] Suddenly the Mets were united. And a second-year player up from wherever was the instigator. Not only that, they had an enemy to unite against. Doing updates that afternoon from The U.S. Open golf tournament, NBC's Bob Costas inexplicably decided to be the sarcastic voice of reason. “The Mets with four in the bottom of the ninth to win it 4-3, and a team 14 games under .500 celebrates as if it just won the seventh game of the World Series,” Costas drolly intoned from Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. “Another indication of the ongoing decline of Western civilization.” Met fans, having joyfully been shaken from a summer of doldrums, were aghast. Costas was annoying, but he was usually the embodiment of smarts and class. And more than that, an unabashed baseball fan despite making his bones hosting football shows. Everybody knew he was a tool — and growing more toolish as he grew into his graying years dying his hair in a futile attempt to sustain his boyish charm — but few had suspected he was an outright dick. But he was out of the closet now. He was not only a dick. He was huge dick. A dickless dick. And practically nobody was going to argue. https://twitter.com/jeremy_hefner53/status/346421983090708480 Remember when pies were a thing? It's nice to see Jay Horwitz recapture the swagger of youth by owning Costas in that next-to-last tweet. But Aardsma called it in his second tweet above. The win did spark the team into something of a turnaround, taking 10 of their next 16, and 15 of 24. Any hopes to turn the run into a playoff kick were torn in late August along with Matt Harvey's UCL, but it sure helped make a baseball season out of something that had been looking like just another excuse to turn the calendar. The Mets actually finished 74-88, a game worse than the previous season (stupid UCL), but at the time, they were behind Chicago in the standings, and the Cubs would limp home at 66-96 and fire manager Dale Sveum, all stemming from that one ninth-inning blast. http://www.leaptoad.com/mets/scorecard_graph.php?game=8268&font=1> Plus, they had Anthony Recker. And everyday is a win when you have Anthony Recker in your dugout.

That's what grace is, man — love that you don't really deserve.

I don't know if the decisions have already been made either way, but the ultimate ending of that last game had to have bought him at least some grace, deserved or not.

From the IGT, what are the top 10 games in Citi Field History, now a cool decade old (ten and a half years, but actually 11 seasons, so sue me)? One nomination per Pooler. I'll open with this'un: [FIMG=500]https://usatftw.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/usp_mlb__st_49181949.jpg?w=1000&h=600&crop=1[/FIMG]

Yeah, none of those would have been marginal runs.

Great to see so much of the crowd stick around after the bullpen burning. Not so sure what Mick was trying to prove leaving Seav-wald out there, but the die of fate had been cast.

Dom is my favorite 2019 Met. It's great to see him put the capper on the season.

. [bIGPURPLE]HOLY FUCKING ASS FUCKING SHIT FUCKING DOM SMITH![/bIGPURPLE]

Snitker, acting like he carez.

No pinch-runner for Ramos? Act like you care, man. Send Laggy out.

The Mets can't catch ordinary mortals stealing, but they catch Billy Ham.

Letting Davis hit and keeping Smitty in reserve.

He'll likely get in eventually.

Oh yeah, Sewald just wanted to get Alonso another swing.

Zamora in his full beard and bushy mustache looks like thinner Matt Harvey.

It's a 2019 in a nutty shell. Should've sent out deGrom, but God forbid they let ME manage.

Tuesday Night Mets Club also needs to a award a bullpenner and a benchie. Frazier also has to get some Tuesday love for his grand slam in his second game of the season.

Get deGrom up in the pen!
