Mets lost 9-1 to the Pirates yesterday. Sweepadeep.
Who gives a shit. It’s over. Pour one out for your boy D-Wright. And now his watch has ended.
The Giants designated Casey McGehee for assignment. He’s hitting .200, so basically he’s better than anyone on the Mets. Another team’s trash is the Mets’ cleanup hitter. SCRAP HEAP! SCRAP HEAP!
By the way, at some point in the game, the Mets struck out 3 times with a man on 3rd and nobody out. AMAZIN’!
I’m optimistic about the team. We’ll have the pitching to contend next year. We’ve been “5 years away” forever. We’re actually 1 away now. Best news ever.
Also Matt Harvey has dead arm. Also Duda has a pulled hammie (he’s in the lineup today, so prepare for it to get pulled worse).
The Mets play the Phillies today. The Mets have scored fewer runs per game in the month of May than the on-paper-consensus-worst-offense-in-the-league. NOPE! WRONG! It’s the Mets. The Mets are worse…than the over-the-hill, no-chance Phillies. Wow. Metsblow.
Yesterday, Harvey got shelled and we lost 8-2. But enough Postblow, this is much deeper than one game.
THE WHEELS HAVE FALLEN THE FUCK OFF.
David Wright is going to retire. He has METS AIDS aka spinal stenosis. He will never return. It’s over. The end of an era. The greatest Met since Seaver. It’s over. Thoughts and prayers.
Now batting…your 3rd baseman…RUUUUUBEEENNNN TEEJAAAADDDDAAAAA.
Lucas Duda pulled a hammie. He’s out, too! The only impact bat on the team. Gone. Good God Almighty.
Juan Lagares has also been scratched! He’s hitting .175 since the collision with Cuddy. “Oh, he’s fine,” said the Mets doctors. Oopsie.
Also Gee is being forced to make another rehab start and claims that he’s, “wasting bullets.” Hahahah, nice job, Sandy! Way to make the whole pitching staff hate you.
We’re running out of wheels to fall off, here! It’s a 4-wheel car, and we’ve lost 5 wheels, a mathematical impossibility. Pack it up. It’s all over, people.
Sandy Alderson said he wouldn’t make a trade until he sees the lineup with TDA and Wright. Well, that’s NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. “Ooooh dang, and I was gonna make a trade, too. But, you know my rule.” -Sandy, on D-Wright’s impending retirement.
The only good thing (and this is a gigantic reach) is that the lil bitch from 710 is going crazy. I give him credit. I don’t like him. I don’t like any of the guys they’ve positioned to replace Howie, but I respect that he’s going crazy right now. He’s saying that this is the year and that we CAN’T look to 2016. We have to sell the farm and go all in right now. And I agree. The pitching is too good to waste.
OH WAIT! NEVERMIND!! The word is in from the Wilpons! Wright will be back tomorrow!!!
Today, Harvey takes the hill against Burnett. Harvey has a 16-inning scoreless streak going. He’s 0-1 in his last two starts. Hahahaha, no that’s not a joke.
Burnett will mow us down today. Get ready, Matt, it’s CGSO or bust. We all know it.
The Mets announced that they’re going with a 6-man rotation. GREAT NEWS! Now Harvey can stay out there longer, since he won’t be pitching as many innings as long as the 6-man rotation stays in tact. I love it. Everyone loves it…except Harvey.
Matt Harvey made it clear to TC that he isn’t thrilled about the 6-man rotation.
Shut up, Matt! This is for your own protection. I love his grit, but dammit just shut up and pitch. Ugh. Matt Harvey will be a Yankee in 2018. Book it. The second he’s eligible (after the 2018 season?) or sooner, even. Ugh ugh ugh.
Eric Campbell is such dogshit. He must make a quick run to the bookie right before they call him up from Vegas. He bets that he’ll have a great first game, wins the bet, and then gets out every single AB after that.
This is on Sandy and the Jewpons. It’s their fault. When your LYNCHPIN, ROCK, CAPTAIN, STAR, FRANCHISE player gets injured, you don’t fucking replace him with a career minor leaguer. That isn’t the way it works. And this is NOT the same as when Murph got hurt and they brought up Herrera. Herrera is a 21 year old kid and the Mets think he’s a major piece in their future. That’s way different than, “holy shit our best player got injured and we DON’T HAVE A REPLACEMENT.”
The Mets decided not to get a backup at 3B. The position where the starter hasn’t played a full season in half a decade. David Wright getting injured was the lock of locks. Metsblow. Fuck the Wilpons.
Last night, the most obvious thing in the history of mankind since people discovered religion was just a farce for power happened. The thing: A good pitcher mowed the Mets the fuck down. The Mets lone run was UNEARNED, and wouldn’t have even scored if not for a wild pitch. Though that’s not an error on the scoreboard, let it be said that it took 5 outs to get the Mets lone run. Oh and by the way in that inning, we didn’t get the tying run home from 3rd with one out.
Also in obvious news, the Mets are no longer in a playoff spot. Technically we’re “tied” with the Cubs for a WC, but nah. Nope. We’re out. Game over, man. Game over.
Have you guys noticed that we’re the slowest team ever? In MLB 2K15 our team speed is a 0.5 (.5 for Lagares). 2 caught stealing in 2 innings. Remember when Wright tried to steal? He might miss all of 2015. Gee and Niese for Revere and Victorino, respectfully? They’re similar. Revere may be a blossoming youth but Vic’s got the chips. How about Gee and Niese for ARod?
I actually like the fact that Mets are stealing attempting steals. God knows we can’t get runs otherwise. It’s a joke. Murphy was out by a hundred miles. But I get it. I get why Terry would do it and I’m not mad at it.
Lucas Duda, our best defensive infielder BAR NONE (not to mention obviously our best hitter by a hundred million miles), made an error that was scored a hit in the 2nd inning. It was an error. “Home book call,” as Keith said. It rattled Thor a bit, cost us a couple of runs, and that was the game!
After the Pirates batted somewhere in the middle innings, I went to pee during the commercial break. I came back and it was a commercial break. I thought maybe it was just a long break, or an injury. NOPE! Just a double play and the fastest half inning ever.
A good thing about the Mets: With the exception of when we get shelled (like we did twice against the Cards), the games are SHORT. Double plays on double plays. End the suffering quickly.
Jung Ho Kang (a gold glove winner in Korea) dazzled in the field. He made a play that no Mets SS makes in a million years. He also had an RBI. If only Jeffy Wilpon hadn’t explicitly told Sandy, “no chanks.” Sandy replied, “OK, and besides, we’ve got Flores! We don’t need a gold glover who bats .300 and also plays every infield position. Our bench is full, anyway.”
P.S. What a fucking douche home plate umpire. Horrendous anti-Mets calls (look at the K-Zone analysis; it was blatantly biased) and more importantly, he wore short sleeves in 30 degree weather.
OK, let’s go to Pittsburgh. This team sucks, right? Our pitching is great, right? Check out the matchups:
Thor vs Cole
Harvey vs Burnett
Niese vs Liriano
Notice anything? I noticed that their pitchers are good–very good. Are ours better? Yes, absolutely. But their pitchers are going to MOW US DOWN. They have decent hitting, and we don’t. Get ready for more of the same from your New York Metropolitans.
P.S. Watch Kang…you know, that Korean infielder that we passed on…rake against us. Watch. Are you watching? An infielder with an avg/obp/ops of .313/.378/.828 for less than 3mil/year? WHY THE FUCK WOULD WE WANT THAT!?
P.P.S. Mr. Metsblow with his owner’s hat on begged for the singing of Kang in the offseason. BEGGED.
It was a really close fucking game until the end, too. Duda provided some major insurance with his 2nd dinger of the game in the bottom of the 8th. He hasn’t been hitting much, recently, but they say dingers come in bunches!
deGrom was masterful. He only let up 1 hit–a one-out single in the first inning. He then retired 23 in a row. 8 IPs, 0 R, 1 H, 11 Ks, 0 BBs. Wow.
Good split against the best team in baseball. Harvey and deGrom are the best. We really do have the best pitching in baseball. Can Sandy make us into a MEDIOCRE offense by acquiring someone? I doubt it. Metsblow.
**UPDATE: Mets.com called the performance “deGrominating.” Oh, dePuns, dePuns, dePuns…
Yay! Day Game! This should help assuage everyone’s boredom at work, what with all the excitement and explosiveness we’ve come to expect from our team.
The best part about day games is that we get this shit over with.
deGrom is deMan. Maybe we actually win this one, if he throw a CGSO for 14 innings so we can maybe JUST MAYBE etch out a run.
When it’s all said and done, we win this game and a 2-2 split ain’t so turrble against the best team we’ve seen so far. That’s what a WC team could do, and that’s what we might possibly be if we (re: Sandy and the Jews) make a move.
If only Bartolo had better stuff last night. Then we would’ve…uhhh…scored zero runs and lost.
Zero…fucking…runs. Against the only shitty pitcher on the Cards’ staff, by the way. Stop me if this sounds familiar.
Tim Teufel needs to start sending everybody, always. We need to get insanely aggressive. No runners at 3rd base ever. We have no other choice. I’d rather see them tagged out at the plate than stranded on 3rd. From now on, we steal every time and hit&run every time and that’s it.
Please also note: Matt Cerrone and his crew of bitch lackeys are calling for Terry’s head. Sleep well with your Jew money, Matt, you two-faced F.A.G. I can’t believe the Wilpons and their shills are this dumb. Wait, yes I can. WHAT THE FUCK IS TERRY SUPPOSED TO DO? Should he put Flores or Tejada at shortstop? Oh, wow, the possibilities! I’m not even much of a Terry supporter, really. I just feel bad for him because this whole thing is bullshit. Truth be told, the only real situation I could get fully behind would be if the Mets made me Player/Coach/Owner. That’s the goal.
P.S. The Mets are officially out of 1st place. What a wild ride it was. Wilder than the Dumbo ride at Disney.
WEEEEEEEE!!!
P.P.S. Conforto hit a GW dinger in the top of the 9th in St. Lucie…ALL IN FOR 2017!!
