I don’t have shit to say. CGSO or bust. Thor may need to go 14 innings to win this one. Fuck this team. We’d be a 100 win team with a fucking medicore-at-best hitting/fielding lineup. Instead, we dump out the WORST road team in the history of baseball. Nobody scores less runs. Nobody gift wraps more runs for the other team. Disgusting. Metsblow.
Braves 2, Mets 1
I thought that extra inning loss to the Braves LAST WEEK was the worst loss of the season. NOPE! This one was worse.
It all starts with the fundies, of course. Derp Grandy derp error in the 4th. And so a completely deGrominating 4th inning becomes a runner on 3rd with Jacob now having to dial it up and pitch under pressure. Yeah he got out of it because he’s the best pitcher in the league, but it still adds many stressful pitches to his count. When the 8th rolled around and it was 1-0 (we’ve scored 2 total runs in about 33 innings now), deGrom’s pitch count was >100 instead of <100 like it should have been.
We suck. We blow. We’re out. I’m done. We’re wasting the most amazing pitching this club has even seen.
Oh and how about Tejada! My boy! Another double.
Grandy needs to be pulled from the leadoff spot. Change his name to Kurtis.
Not to take away from deGrom but Freeman was hurt. We lost to the Braves without Freeman in the lineup. Utterly pathetic.
I know Wisler isn’t a bum making his ML debut. He’s touted. I get that. But damn, talk about a Confidence Game for him. He hasn’t seen a lineup this bad since single-A.
THE FUNDIES! THE FUNDIES!! We couldn’t get the lead runner on a bunt attempt because we were lined up out of position (Ruben!). Then, Flores can’t get a guy on an infield “single.” I hate it so much. I hate watching them. deGrom gets the L!? Amazing. Unfuckingbelievable. The unflappable deGrom smashed the water cooler in frustration, uttering, “I can’t wait to be a Yankee.”
Keith would love Metsblow. He’s certainly a Metsblower. Glaringly bad defense on this road trip. It’s fundies. We gift-wrapped this one.
Oh, and also, Collins brought in Familia in a losing situation. Yeah, go ahead and make him unavailable for the rest of the series. Niiiiice. Oh, and he’s hurt! Groin injury! YAY!
We can’t hit. We can’t field. I’m done.
Yesterday, TC said that Lagares’ elbow injury is a torn ligament requiring Tommy John surgery. “Well, there’s only a couple of things you can do,” Collins continued. “One would be to have Tommy John and the other would be to rest it and just be careful.”
However, Sandy Alderson later clarified (re: LIED) that Tommy John surgery isn’t a consideration. “It’s not anything we’re looking at,” Alderson said. “It’s not an issue. He has soreness in the elbow.”
Soreness! HA! Have you seen him throw this season? Did you see him throw last season? 100% TJ is needed. Give me a fucking break. Cannon to noodle. Fuck you, Sandy, you “Pinocchio Ass Nigga.”
Juanny Beisbol has also been playing through a rib injury that has been bothering him for weeks and had slightly diminished his range, but Collins says that it’s finally healed.
“The rib injury is going away. So that’s not a factor,” Collins said. “He’s swinging the bat real well right now.”
It’s true, he’s hitting better in June. Hopefully he can get his full range back. He’s been beat a couple of times this year. That NEVER happened last year. Sandy and the Mets are mishandling the shit out of Juanny. Pray for him.
OK, round 2 against the maize munchers this week. We took 2 out of 3 at Shitti (should’ve been a sweep…thanks a lot Familia’s kid). Now, we’ll likely get swept in Atlanta like we always do. Atlanta has been our hell for as long as I can remember. We usually get swept harder than the disease-soaked blankets that we distributed to these tomahawk chuckers.
I’m not sure where Bob Costas will be for all this. Someone call Dan Snyder and tell him to support the Wompum-trading dirt-worshippers.
We’ve got 3 of our big cannons going. Tonight, it’s deGrom vs Matt Wisler, making his major league debut. Last year’s ROY should outduel the shit out of him, but there’s not better lineup to make your debut against than the Mets. The Mets have the worst road hitting in baseball bar none. Lowest run total, lowest everything.
Then, it’s Thor vs Perez, and finally Harvey vs Teheran in a battle of aces on Sunday (at 5:05…fuckin Atlanta). With those arms, it should be a sweep for us. But with our lineup, naaaaaht so fast. Joke. Team is a joke. Fucking god damn joke. Head on over to the illegal sportsbook at the Wahoo Sands Resort and put it all on the Mets scoring less than 5 runs in 3 games. Good god almighty Metsblow.
Blue Jays 7, Mets 1
Well, the Mets have scored 4 runs in the past 3 games…and the Blue Jays don’t even pitch that well. Dickey had his vintage dick going. He looked every bit as good as when he was with the Mets. Amazing performance. It could’ve been a no-no. It could’ve been a complete game, but the ump wasn’t giving him all the calls (Dickey argued with him profusely) and his pitch count rose a bit high, even for a knuckleballer. Duda hit a dinger, and that was it for Dickey. The game was already completely out of reach (3-run maximum, remember?) when Dickey got pulled.
I love RA. It’s probably the best individual season of baseball I’ve ever experienced. Maybe, like, uhhh, Wright in ’06. I was super jacked up about him every at bat. The Mets infield in ’99 was a thrill. Lagares’s D last year was the best I’ve ever seen. It’s pretty sick watching someone get chosen/go Super Saiyan. I guess Darrelle Revis had the best sports season ever…multiple times…of any New Yorker in my generation. Dickey #2.
In a certain way, I loved this game. Watching Dickey work is always wonderful. Shit, even Revis having a ring feels right to me in some way. I want this Mets team embarrassed. I want Wilpon and Sandy embarrassed. Two nonos in a week would’ve been sweet. That’s the kind of stuff Metsblow dreams are made of.
And I don’t blame Tolo ONE BIT. The box score doesn’t tell the story–not by a long shot. Flores fails to catch a ball right in his glove. Flores then fails to avoid the takeout slide on the DP opportunity. Then Reyes rips an RBI single. Remember Reyes, y’all? The dude who was with the team for less time than Ruben Tejada? Remember him? He’s the best SS in club history? And we let him walk? Doody poop. Keith fumed about the fundies. I’m with him. I blame Tolo a 0%. Big time home book. We were out of the “big inning” TWICE.
So we’ve got 4 aces. When we bring up Matz, we’ll have 5. And we’ll lose 1-0 or worse every night. Awesome. Totally awesome.
Conforto continues to rake. Nimmo is back from the DL and picking up right where he left off. Lagares needs TJ and Cuddyer will get hurt soon enough. What are we going to do about our lineup? It better be something.
Welp, we either split the series or we win it. Not too shabby. It’d be nice to win a road game once in a while. That’s asking too much, I suppose.
Big Sexy will not be batting. Damn DH. Awful rule. AWFUL.
R.A. (Really Awesome) Dickey will face the Mets, including the man he was traded for: Travis d’Arnaud. Thor already showed the Jays that we got the best of the trade. MAVERICK!
The Mets are fucking dogshit on the road. Get it together for one game. This isn’t the same Dickey that won the Cy Young. This is a homer-happy stadium so let’s see some fucking runs. Getting blanked in Toronto last night was fucking embarrassing. Do your jobs.
Blue Jays 8, Mets 0
People almost forgot. Hell, even I was a bit excited. The Blue Jays were the hottest team in the league and we put our streak-killing aces out there and won a couple.
But…we’re the Mets, remember? We laid a big, fat egg last night. A classic shutout. Our 3-run cap is no joke. We really do have a limit. We were careful and didn’t even come close to it last night. We were hitless with RISP.
Niese pitched well against a team that kills lefties. Akeelah and the Bee pitched so poorly in his ML debut that he was sent back down. Whoops.
Murphy’s return date has been DELAYED. Duhhh. Now it’s Tuesday instead of Saturday. Just another day or two! And Reyes will be back tomorrow!
The Mets took both games at Shittifield. Now we face them for 2 games on the road, where we usually BLOW. Also, we’ll get to see Dickey on Thursday! The BJs really should’ve had him start at Shitti. Dude fucking owned that place.
Niese takes the bump tonight…a BIG bump if you’ve seen that schnoz of his…
Niese is a lefty. The Blue Jays DESTROY lefties. Especially in Toronto. Awww, here it goes. Right, Kel?
Mets 3, Blue Jays 2
Just when the nonbelievers were saying Harvey was “overrated,” he goes out and rocks Shittifield. 7 innings, 0 runs, 0 walks, 6 Ks, only 4 H, and perhaps most telling he had four 1-2-3 innings. He was pumped as fuck, with his energy infecting the team and the fans. The ACE. I love him. He had an RBI double, too. Also, the Blue Jays had come into this series scoring 8 runs/game over their 11 game winning streak. Thor stopped the streak, and Harvey buried ’em. 2-game sweep.
As of now, the Metsblow war room consists of two people, other than myself. To my war room guy in the Bahamas: if the Mets keep playing like this, I don’t think you should come back. Don’t fuck with the chi.
Everything’s really going our way. Greasy Ceciliani and Ruben Sangwich both look good. They’re SIGNIFICANTLY better than Kirk and Soup. That’s big. With Murphy coming back on Saturday (I’ll believe it when I see it), we might actually have a bench. Key word: MIGHT.
Sidenote: We resigned Kirk. HA. HA. HA. Ow, my sides. I’m holding my sides because that’s such a funny joke.
Complaint Department: We almost lost. We didn’t get any insurance runs (3 run limit, boys!) and our pen is shakier by the day. We’re garbage dogshit. But we won. But we’re in 1st place. So how does the front office feel? “Since we’re already in 1st, we see no reason to make a move.” -Sandy
Also, I’m not sure why the “complaint department” is a section of this page. The entire website is one giant complaint department. That’s another complaint. Be less organized.
Bobby Parnell could help us. Although his velocity is way down and he’s really laboring up there. He got a big FAT K on a big fat breaking ball when he really needed it. That was good. I don’t understand how his ‘bow is worse than Tanaka’s right now. I guess I understand it because life is rigged and Parnell has METS disease and Tanaka has YANKEES magic voodoo. Mejia’s return will help us, as well.
d’Arnaud has a hit in every game since his return. Recker has 2 hits on the season. This is a big change and a big reason why we’re competing again. 2-game sweep completed. Now we go to Toronto for 2 more.
Matt Harvey has basically been the worst pitcher in baseball for the past month. He’s been getting ROCKED.
Bury them tonight, Matt. Make Reyes look foolish (god I love Reyes…imagine if we still had him! Naah, we let him walk. Yay Wilpons) and show the league who you really are.
If Harvey gets rocked again, I think they need to consider a setback–maybe give Matz a turn in the rotation and let Harvey rest.
Whatever. Make all the speculation and concern moot. Have a big, Dark Knight kinda night, and show us all that you’re the truth.
