Here’s what Collins did:
Here’s what it SHOULD be:
Grandy, Murph, Cespedes, Conforto, Duda, d’Arnaud, Wright, Flores, deGrom
Whatever. The biggest thing is that deGrom is on the hill and Conforto’s at least in the lineup somewhere. Let’s GOOOOOOO!!!
Dodgers 3, Mets 1
Tip your cap. They cheated to win game 2. Not this time. Kershaw dealt.
Matz pitched well. Kershaw got a hit. Then, a groundout that mighty oak tree Flores couldn’t get to and a pop up that fell in. Of course, the “player not good enough for the Mets” Justin Turner with the only hard hit off Matz. Cespedes bobbled one, too. Matz pitched very well. It’s not on him.
It’s not on any one hitter, either. We didn’t do shit. Murph didn’t get it done when he had to keep the train going for Cespedes in the 8th, but he also hit a dinger, so it’s not on Murph.
deGrom for game 5. I like our chances. I’ll take him against anyone, anywhere. Move Wright down in the order against the righty. Conforto cleanup. I’d do:
Grandy, Murph, Cespedes, Conforto, Duda, d’Arnaud, Wright, Flores, deGrom
Let’s. Fucking. Go. Thursday at 8:07. I’m just gonna sit in a dark room until then and count the minutes.
Mets 13, Dodgers 7
Is it shocking that Grandy was heroic? No.
Is it shocking that Cespedes hit the ball a bazillion feet at a bazillion mph? No.
Is it shocking that Harvey battled but still isn’t fully recovered from TJ? No.
Is it shocking that our bullpen–other than Familia–blows? No.
Is it shocking that the team listened to me? No. By stomping on the opponent and going up by a shitload, you effectively take the umps and their Hollywood pageantry (re: rigging) out of play. Good job. Just what the doctor ordered. Now clinch.
Game 3 tonight at 8:37 (don’t tune in early for the bullshit commercials…stick to SNY, if ya gotta have the TV on).
Pray pray pray. Pray for Tejada, pray for Flores, pray for Reynolds. Pray for the Mets and pray for their health.
Pray the umps take their hollywood pageantry out of the game for once? Sure, but we’ve moved on. Now comes the biggest game since nlcs game 7 in 2006. Oops.
Hey, it’s HarveyDay. Couldn’t be more jacked up. Biggest game ever by far. Get tough. We’ve shown resiliency all season–both in games and in between games. That stems from elite starting pitching. And that’s what we need more than ever, now. Let’s go.
The slide itself and all the attention it’s getting is all a mummer’s farce. Don’t let the MLB and their puppet Joe Torre and bow tie to a baseball game wearing dorkazoid Ken Rosenthal fool you. Utley is not the issue. It’s the umpire and the rigging. That’s the real issue. Someone in a studio who wants it to go 5 games so they can squeeze out more money. Follow the money. The ump that put Utley back on 2nd base is a cheater and it makes the game not fun and everyone involved should be jailed. Selig should’ve been jailed decades ago.
Dodgers 5, Mets 2
What’s the name of the official who made the final call on the big play in the 7th? I want his name. I want his badge #. He should be fired and jailed for rigging games.
Mets 3, Dodgers 1
deGrom. Yes. We already knew it. Now the world knows it. Everyone’s watching, and everyone’s talking, so I just want to make 1 point that I haven’t seen someone else write:
Curtis Granderson is (also) the hero of last night’s game. He is (also) the team mvp for the season. Last night, with a 1-2 count, Grandy worked a walk to load the bases. DW hit the big single in the next AB. Grandy did this against the toughest lefty (besides Matz) and he’s been doing this all year. He quietly put together an incredible year and he did it again last night. In fact, he was all over Kershaw all game. Grandy. Boom.
1 down, 10 to go.
How Mets-esque is it that in year 1 of Metsblow.com, they go out and win the NL (l)east?
Just shows once again that what I do matters to this team. I take full credit for their turn around. Metsblow Nation bitched hard enough and the organization got the Cubano. Good job, us!
So let’s first discuss Matt Harvey showing up late…I get it. He’s pissed. He wanted game 1 and got game 3. Well too fucking bad! Grow up, young bull. I love that Wright called him out. I love that TC successfully defused the situation.
The media needs to chill the fuck out, though. And so do the fans. Metsblow Nation, RELAX. Matt Harvey is a MAD PUPPY. He’s a bulldog. He’s our puppy. Some lil chitlins will be like deGrom–perfect and sweet and quiet and all business. Some will be like Harvey–a mad dog off the leash. Wright and TC leashed him up real good. But he’s still lashing out. He’ll do things like that. It’s his nature. You still should love him. These are our kiddies, and not everyone can be the angel that deGrom can be. There are Tim Duncans and there are Kobe Bryants. You want both on your team. We must continue to help Harvey grow as best as we can. Nothing is worse than a mad dog that gets beat. We must nurture his growth witht he right combination of discipline and love. Remember that. Remember that he’s still just a puppy. Remember that Wright DID discipline him. He ain’t getting off that easy. Game 3 is his.
Now, on to the Yankees: HAW HAW! HAW FUCKING HAW! Way to boo, you stupid fucking retarded fans. You spoiled pieces of shit. Fuck y’all. And I love that Gomez and his balky hip hit a dinger. Kaboom. So glad they lost. And now they’re all saying, “good luck Mets! We like both NY teams!” FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING LOSERS!!! Go away.
Mets 1, Nats 0
The Mets pulled deGrom in the middle of a no-no bid today. Yesterday, Scherzer no-hit the Mets.
BEAUTIFUL. PERFECT. I couldn’t think of a better “we don’t give a fuck, fuck you” than today. Yes, granted, we’re not hitting well. The bats are cold. But the point is the game didn’t mean SHIT. Yesterday’s no-no didn’t mean SHIT. Today’s would not have meant SHIT. And that’s what’s so great. We don’t caaaaaaare. The season is over. We’re onto the playoffs. A no-no? Well, look, when it was Nohan, it was different. Nohan took a cursed franchise and finally got us of an epic, embarrassing schnide. Today would have been NOTHING. It would have been sinking down to their try-hard level and risking injury.
I love that deGrom was pulled. I love that zero stock was put into this game. Beat LA.
