After the Pretender Marlins got their shit pushed in by the Contender (?) Mets, manager Mike Redmond (and his counterpart Mike Methodmond) might get fired and replaced by Wally Backman.
Backman, as we all know, is the Mets AAA manager (last year’s Pacific Coast League’s manager of the year), was a part of the ’86 Championship team, and is considered a leading candidate to manage the Mets when the Wilpons decide to scapegoat Terry Collins.
Here’s how this is going to play out: The Mets swept the Marlins. Now, the Marlins are going to bring in Backman and the Marlins are going to topple the injury-riddled Mets and make the playoffs. Terry will be fired and the Wilpons will make no off-season moves to improve the team’s depth because, as the Wilpons will say, “there’s just no way we can get as injured again!”
I would consider using blood magic to rid the team of the Wilpons…
How many times in the history of the sport have two players–in the same inning and on the same team–been struck with a baseball and each fractured a bone?
Will the Wilpons go out and sure up the squad? FUCK NO! They’re such cheap Jew fucks. We’re 10-3, on an 8 game winning streak, and I’m hitting the panic button.
The true curse is the evil Jew curse that the Wilpons have cast on the team. That and the bargain bin Dr. Nick medical staff they’ve hired.
Don’t worry, you won’t feel a thing…till I jam this down your throat!
The only thing I’ll say about today’s game is that the last time we had a win streak like this, it was when we were a complete doo-doo team. None of this means anything. Metsblow. It’s April.
But every win counts! I am such a schizophrenic Mets fan, right now. I’m such a stereotype.
I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Harvey looks phenomenal in the 1st inning. He just made Stanton look like a bitch.
Big Hat with the save! Phew. He reads Metsblow. He saw the preblow and he saw himself in the mirror before the game and got jacked up. Thank you for being a safety role model for our city and our nation’s youth.
How come Collins didn’t yank Carlos Torres when he was clearly shook? He threw a WP, sheesh.
deGrom with deWin. Fuck yeah!!! So deserved.
7 in a row! Tomorrow, Harvey’s on the hill going for 8 and the 4-game sweep against Florida. I’m sorry, I mean Flo Rida.
The Mets can clinch the Contender v Pretender Series tonight. Excellent. deGrom on the hill. Excellent. Lead by The Dude, The Mets have hit the ball (this week) and scored runs (against shitty pitching). Excellent.
Most excellent of all, like Malibu Stacy before him, Alex Torres has a new hat! Bighat is back! And his hat is more ridiculous than ever. Sick hat.
In the preblow I said that Colon would punch his ticket to the hall of fame 1 RBI at a time. He reads Metsblow. He got one today, to tie the game at 1 and to back his absolutely brilliant pitching performance. Like Gee, he made a mistake to Stanton. But make no mistake, Big Sexy was BRILLIANT tonight. He’s now 3-0, and the Mets improve to 5-0 at Shittifield, a place where we have perennially sucked donkey balls.
Another hold for Blevins. Another save for Familia. La dee da. Juan Lagares made some gold glove plays. La la la. Another come-from-behind win. Tee hee hee just another day at the office.
Damn we look good. It’s gonna be tough for the Jewpons to screw this pitching up!
Congrats to Money Muno $_$ on your first major league hit!
P.S. I was watching the game with girls (yuck) and they were all jealous of how tan Terry Collins is.
The rivalry has been reignited! Colon vs. Ichiro. They’ve faced off 99 times. Oh, boy! It begs the question: Is Bartolo Colon a hall of famer? Ichiro is for sure. Biogenesis hurts Colon’s chances, but what if Big Bart pitches through 2017 and notches 50 more wins and a chip? I suppose that’s lofty. One game at a time. One RBI at a time.
The Mets need to stomp on the Marlins’ throats. They’re injured. So are we but they’re missing 2 starters and we have our elite staff going. Mow em down.
Montero got sent down, but he’s coming back in ten days and the Mets are going 6-man-carousel-of-carnage.
I love the move. I think our staff is swinging huge dick. We’re saying that some teams have 2 or 3 viable starters and we have 6. They can all do it, so let’s do it.
Also, protect Harvey and deGrom’s arms. And keep them hungry. Let Harvey get angry and drooly in his cage and unleash him every 6th day with even more to prove.
P.S. Anyone saying a 5-man rotation is “correct” is retarded. There’s no rule saying that. And even if there was, rules are meant to be broken. “Conventional Wisdom” used to say that you couldn’t eat pig. Well, the Mets are going bacon on this bitch.
P.P.S. It might be a 5.5 man rotation because Terry sometimes gets cute.
Such a scrappy, gutsy win. And the Mets have sole possession of 1st place to show for it. Multiple comes-from-behind (the ladies love it), and multiple groans from Keith (the ladies love it) about the game taking too long.
Other than Gee’s idiotic decision to throw Stanton a 3-2 strike with 1st base open in the 1st inning, he pitched well. It’s amazing how good our 5th starter is. He’s supposed to be a smart pitcher (he doesn’t have the best stuff so he relies on his intellect) and that was a DUMB pitch, but otherwise he looked good. One of his runs was inherited on Montero’s bases loaded walk (another dumb pitch).
It was a day where Reyes got hurt (with a lingering case of the METS) and Flores hit a 3-run dinger. Sandy Alderson, you baseball maverick!!
Notes on game-length and the 6 minute instant replay review: First of all, what an incredible move by Ichiro. Wow, is he INCREDIBLE or what? 1st ballot hall-of-famer with anything less than 90% of the votes would be a travesty. Before he became a Yankee, I lived in Tokyo while the WBC was going on. I seriously considered getting his jersey, but I didn’t have the Yen. I’m glad I didn’t, because fuck the Yankees. My Beltran jersey has been shelved, though I’m happy I have one, but anyway I digress…getting the calls right is what matters.
Keith is hilarious. Imagine being at your 9-5 day job (poor you), and at 2:30 knocking on your boss’s door and saying, “uuugggghhh is it 5 yet!?” Now imagine doing that every day. That’s what Keith does. And it’s ballin. Truly ballin. Here’s the thing, though: Keith is IN FAVOR of getting the calls right. We all are. It’s just about getting the call right quickly. What needs to be done is the complete removal of all human officiating. The Age of Robots is at hand. Just have robots do it all instantaneously. The end. It’s soooooo simple, but the god damn unions and old fogies are resisting our robotic umpire overlords.
If I was King of Sports (or King of the World), world peace and not letting the Yankees win because of Jeff Maier are priorities #1 and #1A.
