  1. Larry, Curly, and Moe.
  2. Thank you. Technology usage is not one of my strengths.
  3. This team is virtually unwatchable at this point. Virtually no one is hitting. Every opposing pitcher looks like the reincarnation of Cy Young when facing our hapless and inept lineup. The following is a depressing list of the Mets team ranking in MLB for several key offensive Statistics: Batting Average - 25th (hard to imagine there are 5 teams that are hitting worse than the Mets) On Base Percentage - 29th Slugging Percentage -28th OPS - 29th Runs Scored - 26 (Surprised they are doing that well considering the above noted levels of ineptness). Getting Soto back soon will obviously help, but there are far too many holes in the line up for any one player to significantly improve the run production. Lindor and Bichette have to get going. Baty and Benge need to reach a level of at least moderate competence. Robert is doing more than I anticipated, but his hot start is rapidly becoming a distant memory.
  4. That place seems as lost and inept as the Mets offense.
  5. By all indications and evidence thus far, Stearns got swindled in this deal. He traded a good player for a formerly good player that gives every appearance that he is totally washed up. Absolutely horrible deal for the Mets, but at least they are only on the hook for 3 years (rather than 5 with Nimmo). 🙄
  6. Is there a reason to place Young on the 10 day IL when most torn meniscus take 3-8 weeks to heal without surgery. If he were to require surgery the recovery becomes 3-6 months. At least the Mets didn't decide to play the day to day card on this one. Why doesn't he take Polanco to the IL with him. The man is unable to play defense as a result of his persistent Achilles tendon inflammation. He can't run for the same reason and I am really questioning whether or not he can hit. If he does get a hit, the Mets often have to pinch run for him. Just put him on the 10 or 15 day IL and let him heal so he can have a chance of contributing.
  7. The good news, the Mets have Holmes on the mound. He has been the Mets most consistent starting pitcher, not named McLean. Unfortunately, Holmes likely have to throw a shutout for the Mets to win. The bad news is that they are the Dodgers, an offensive juggernaut and we are the offensively inept Mets. So I won't be surprised if it is another early night.
  8. The Dodgers and Mets both used challenges during that Robert at bat in desperate hopes to steal one. Neither one had a chance of being overturned. Shows how big that at bat was.
  9. This game may very well be decided by the bullpens.
  10. If Polanco can't run why is he playing? It's not like he is hitting well enough to have him out there risking worsening his Achilles tendon inflammation. Put him on the IL so he can heal and let Jared Young DH.
  11. I intend to watch tonight as long as we are competitive. Should be a wonderful pitchers duel between McLean and Yamamoto.
  12. Edgy, not to be too picky, but the lineup shows Baty in RF batting 6th and again in RF batting 9th. I am assuming that the 9th slot is either Taylor or Pham playing in LF.
  13. A blister gets you on the 15 Day IL? Must be one hell of a blister.
  14. Oh you hve seen them this year. It is just that most have them have been by the opposition.
  15. The Mets have 5 players on the roster hitting .250 or better (that includes Soto) and 5 regulars that are hitting below .200 Get off the damn interstate!!!
  16. Goodnight. Three run home run by Pages.
  17. Even on the rare occasions that the Mets hit a ball hard. It's just a loud out. Can't buy a hit. Of course, it would help if they made hard contact more frequently to increase their odds of getting hits.
