While it is disappointing, the big factor is this: On September 1, the Mets and Brewers were tied. The Brewers went 20-4 in September (as of today). The Mets went 14-10 (as of today). The Mets did blow a few games in the month, but not enough to make up the difference. Ultimately, the issue is that Milwaukee got hot at just the right time.

The problem was mostly that he had some spectacular failures, but in between, pitched just fine. It's a matter of tweaking what went wrong. Trading him will get you nothing, and it's quite likely he will go back to his previous form with a little fine tuning.

One of the better superhero films. Things looked far better in animation than the do in CGI. Plus you had a good story and they kept the fight scenes to a minimum.

Fivethirtyeight.com had deemed the Mets MLB's https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/behold-the-2019-mlb-all-average-team/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark most average team this year. Of course, this is a bit silly from the start. The team was bad until July and very good in July and August, so the two parts of the season counteract each other. Other Mets listed as average are Dom Smith and and J.D. Davis.

Phil Regan. The team's offense was always OK. It was the pitching that let the team down. Once Regan came on, most everyone started pitching better: the starters were more consistent, and the relievers more dependable.

Matt Harvey is available! https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-matt-harvey-dfa-20190720-rxts32jrnjfopeq24x4gh4fdkm-story.htmlhttps://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-matt-harvey-dfa-20190720-rxts32jrnjfopeq24x4gh4fdkm-story.html It's pretty sad.

Edgy MD wrote: Hey, wait, Pump was a Met and a Red Sock. When did he win a World Series? I was referring to Gene Conley, who won with the Braves in 1957 and with the Celtics three times. Wikipedia says the other one was Otto Graham, who won AAFC, NFL, and the NBL (precursor to the NBA).

Green played a few years before I started following the Mets, but I know from his mention in Jimmy Breslin's Can't Anybody Here Play this Game?. He was traded to the Mets due to an incident the year before. After a game with the MFY, the Red Sox got on a bus to the airport for a flight to Washington. Green sat near Gene Conley, who, at 6'8"* didn't take well to bus rides. When the bus got caught in traffic, Conley got off and Green followed (for no particular reason). Eventually, Conley decided to fly to Israel. Green, seeing newspaper reports about them, decided to catch up with the team in Washington. Conley was found trying to buy a ticket from El Al. Some reports say he was very drunk. Green made it to Washington. When he got to his hotel room, he was asked why he didn't fly to Israel with Conley. Green replied, "I'm not Jewish." The next offseason, he was traded to the Mets. *He played in the NBA and is one of two people who won a world series and and NBA championship.

Lefty Specialist wrote: 10-day IL. He'll be off before the trading deadline in any case. Yes, but his value takes a hit. Plus he'll have to show an effective start to be worth anything at all. I'm not a big fan of this type of deal -- trading someone in his walk year for prospects. Sure, it makes sense to get something for them, but few teams are willing to give up much. About the only one in recent years that worked out for the Mets was trading Beltran for Wheeler. Most of the rest of the prospects never amounted to anything. Lately, Wheeler has indicated that he'd like to stay in New York since he doesn't like change, so maybe he can be re-signed. But it wasn't too long ago he indicated he wanted very much to test the free agent waters.

I'd argue it was Jim Brosnan, but Bouton was a great baseball personality. Sad news. Trivia: Bouton's most successful pitch was when he pitched Big League Chew to the Wrigley Company.

Memories of cash (the Brooks Pounders thread)
RealityChuck replied to Johnny Lunchbucket's topic in New York Mets Talk
Looks like he pounds the strike zone and they pound what he offers. -
Trademark office, not Patent Office. Not really much they can do. Seaver or the Mets never trademarked the term (and Seaver was probably called "The Franchise" more often), and the cartoon let the trademark lapse. It's up for grabs by anyone who wants to claim it.

I still can conceive of any reason to pay attention to mock drafts. Other than the first choice (and maybe the second), it's just pure guesswork that is wrong more often than it is right.

CBS Sunday Morning just showed a story on the discovery of the Clotilda, the last slave ship, which has been found. One of the people interviewed was Cleon Jones. I heard the name and saw he was wearing a Mets cap, and the anchor confirmed it was him.
