I love it when older career minor leaguers finally get the call. Congrats to Orze.

His average sucked but he was second on the team in homers.

Looking for someone to adopt an abandoned team. It's a fixer-upper, but could be a fun project for the latter half of the season. The top players are: Marcell Ozuna Vinnie Pasquantino CJ Abrams Will Smith Kyle Tucker Corbin Burnes Maikel Garcia You could slam your team full of starting pitchers and ascend up the ranks quickly that way, as you have a TON of team innings pitched left to use up. If you want it, send along your email address and I'll transfer the team.

Butto is a good pitcher.

Wood's head looks like one of those Play-Doh extruders.

John Gibbons would be a better manager than Mendoza. Look at Gibbons in that dugout. Just the way he stands demands respect.

Petulant child. Pick up your bat, Alvarez. Don't make the bat boy get it.

I think Butto is a fine choice. Future 15 game winner.

Pete just hit a home run .... if he was in a BARN SILO! (lol) He's only on pace for like 33 home runs and 91 RBI. He's having a down year.

Welp, I look away for a moment and it is tied.

This game is a snooze fest.

What a humdinger of an experience! The Mets don't look like a playoff team.

This game was an embarrassment!

I enjoyed the guy spazzing in the Grimace costume.

This was rough!

Welcome to the party that never ends, the Guess that Met thread! Jay Hook was the correct answer to that question.

Catching up on some games. What a homer by McNeil! (He still needs to be traded).

Catching up on some games. What a rout!!!

Orosco is correct, but #2 is not Henderson. Though the poem is vague enough that it COULD be Henderson, the word "explosive" was put in there for a reason. A new question has been added, with hints for the rest. 1. Some folks say I am arrogant Others say I'm ruled by greed But never before or after Will a Met have my explosive speed. Hint: Was more well-known as a speedster with the Cardinals in the '80s. The Mets traded him to get Kevin McReynolds back. --originally posted by "ribant" 2. Mario Ramirez had five hits as a Met off of four pitchers during his brief 1980 stay in New York. Who can name the four pitchers he collected hits off of? Hints: A. He started 11 games against the Mets during his career, going 5-5 with a 3.36 ERA. Mets outfielder Elliott Maddox had great success against him, hitting .368 while in a Mets uniform. He started two games against the Mets in the 1973 World Series. B. He went 2-1 with a 5.93 ERA in six appearances (four starts) against the Mets during his brief stay in the National League (with the Dodgers). On June 22, 1980, he started against New York, allowing eight earned runs in only 4.1 innings of work. Claudell Washington went 4-5 with five RBI that day. His final appearance against the Mets was in 1981. C. He probably had more success against the Mets than any other team he faced a lot in his career, going 21-14 with a 2.62 ERA in 43 appearances (37 starts). He tossed 14 complete games and five shutouts versus New York, including a two-hitter against Tom Seaver in 1971. His final shutout against the Mets came on May 16, 1981. He was originally drafted by the Mets in 1968, but did not sign. D. He was a Met briefly in 1984, but didn't have much luck, posting a 9.19 ERA in 11 relief appearances. He never started against the Mets, but he made 31 relief appearances against them, going 6-4 with a 3.33 ERA. Fun fact: He was traded for Ray Burris partway through the 1979 season. Burris would join the Mets shortly after that, in August of that year. 3. Who were the last three Mets pitchers to hit triples? 1. 2. 3. Hints: 1—Pitched for NY from 2015 to 2020; went to the Cardinals. 2—Pitched for NY from 2010 to 2015; went to the Royals. 3—Pitched for the Mets from 2008 to 2015, traded to the Pirates for Neil Walker, then returned to NY in 2016 in exchange for Antonio Bastardo. 4. Who were the last three Mets pitchers to hit home runs? 1. 2. 3. 5. Who were the three Mets hurlers to toss complete games in 2013? 1. 2. 3.

Catching up on games. That was rough! But we prevailed!

Ron Taylor, Ken Boswell and Rod McCray are correct! Three new questions have been added. 1. I played in a World Series And it really is a shame I hold an all time record but won't be in the Hall of Fame --originally posted by "ribant" 2. Some folks say I am arrogant Others say I'm ruled by greed But never before or after Will a Met have my explosive speed. --originally posted by "ribant" 3. I hit my only Shea Stadium home run In one of the season's biggest game It was one of my moments in the sun But I'll never be in the Hall Of Fame --originally posted by "Joe Rigatoni" 4. Mario Ramirez had five hits as a Met off of four pitchers during his brief 1980 stay in New York. Who can name the four pitchers he collected hits off of? 5.

I probably would've taken Tyler Jay. Or Eric Orze. Or Grant Hartwig. Or Matt Festa.

Catching up on Mets games. Vientos has legit power. Diaz is too much of a headache. Not sure what happened to Smith. It was funny watching Wisdom strike out on the last pitch and start arguing with the umpire; the umpire just walked away. A quality performance!
