Well, there you have it. As if we needed more proof.
Jeff Wilpon is a disgusting, evil criminal. Jeff Wilpon doesn’t care about the team winning. All he cares about is Jew Gold, and he’s too stupid to recognize that the best way to make money is to have a winning team.
We must force him out. MetsBlow has always done, and will continue to do, everything it can for the good of the Mets. We stand together. #FucktheWilpons
Mets 4, Nats 0
Welp, that went exactly as expected. Neither team could hit for shit against two of the best in the biz.
Thankfully, the Mets got 1 off of Scherzer and his weird ass face. Cuddy hit a dinger. New fences!
Harvey, seeing as how he reads Metsblow, knew he had to put up zeroes, and he did.
Flores made another error ladeeda. Harvey bore down and got around it.
The Mets got 3 insurance runs off the Nats’ pen in the 8th, thanks to Werth falling down in left with the bases loaded. To Murph and the Mets’ credit, even if Werth caught the ball, it would’ve been a sac fly. Insurance runs. Wow. Who’d a thunk it?
Now we have to win the series. Uh-oh.

Happy #HarveyDay
It’s no exaggeration; it’s the biggest game of the season. Harvey has to throw a CGSO if he expects to win. Nuff said.
Collins sounds defeated in the pressers, and rightly so. We’re playing as expected, meaning we can’t hit for shit. To challenge this, Herrera has been brought up to play 2B and Murph has been shifted to 3B. This, of course, is also to break up the worst defensive middle infield in franchise (and all of MLB?) history.
Ok, it’s not the worst in history, but I bet it IS the worst when you add the fact that the Jewpons tried to sell us on it. What I mean is, there have been worse M-IFs before, but the owner(s) and GM(s) have said, “hey we know it’s trouble but this is all we can do for the time being.” This is the worst one in history where the top brass has had the audacity to say, “these are our guys!” So tell me, does that make our top brass retarded for believing that or retarded for believing that we’d buy into that?
Biggest game of the season. We need a dark knight.
It’s about fucking time. The Mets’ middle infield is the worst I EVER DONE SEENT. The best guys should be out there. For now, while Wright remains on the DL, Murph will move to third.
Flores at SS could be done forever in two weeks. They may bring up Reynolds. That’s fine. I don’t care anymore. This team is about pitching. You have to protect the pitching. You can’t brag about your pitching and then have the worst defensive infield in MLB history. You have to protect your pitchers.
I don’t think Murph will be on the team next year. I think Flores will play 2nd–maybe, if he hits–and Reynolds will play short. I think Herrera will also play 2nd and Flores will play 3rd when David Wright gets injured again, because we all know that’s coming.
Who can hit? Who can field? Do we have someone that can do both? Wally Backman claims that Reynolds and Herrera can do both. PROVE IT! Find some fucking major leaguers and play them!
Nats 8, Mets 2
Metsblow. Yeah, I mean deGrom was doing his job. He had a no-no going but the unearned runs shook him up. Real tough to win when you only score 2 runs and make errors.
We don’t hit. We won’t hit. We’re done. Maybe Wright and d’Arnaud will come back soon. Doubt it.
Harvey has to be the stopper tomorrow. It’s the biggest game of the season. Against Scherzer? CGSO or something expect an L.

The Mets return home–where we are mysteriously 10-0–to face the Nats for 4 games. We’ve lost 2 in a row, and the very foundation of our team is that our pitching is SO GOOD, that we’ll NEVER have a real losing streak. That’s on you tonight, Jacob.
This series is a chance for us to truly prove ourselves. This series is a chance to put real distance between us and the supposed best team in the division (and in all of baseball, as many predicted). This series is also a chance for the Nats to prove that they are who they thought they are, and that we are who they thought we are. We’ll see. We’ve got deGrom and Harvey going against Strasburg and Scherzer, respectively. You can’t ask for better matchups than that.
Also, Montero is dead. 15 day DL? Oh it’s nothing, says the Mets media. Wake the fuck up, people. It’s April, and everyone is dead. We’re on pace to have 70+ injuries this year. We are PLAGUED. We are CURSED. Oh, and I guess we’re on pace for 100+ wins, har har.
Nimmo’s knee is broken. Dunzo. He’s dead. He had to be carried off the field. Knee. Same ACL he tore in high school. The Mets say he’s totally fine, you guys.
Fish 7, Mets 3. We lose the series and go 2-4 on the road trip. Keith went 3-3 with the Latina hunnies in South Beach. “Yo soy Keith Hernandez.”
“Sell! Sell! Sell!” is first and foremost a demand to the Wilpons. That’ll never happen. So instead, the headline refers to what we should be doing as Mets fans. Yup, that’s right, we’re done.
Let’s recap:
~I love you Tolo, but you need to stop trying to pitch through Stanton. That was a fucking BOMB. The Mets spotted you a 2-run lead in the first. You blew it. You know these Mets. It’s a CGSO or bust if you want to get a W.
~Happy Birthday Gary! I noticed Keith stuck his fingers in your cake. So ballin.
~Latos getting hurt running the bases was a blessing in disguise for the Fish, as we were socking him (by our standards). their mediocre-at-best bullpen mowed us the fuck down. Walk the leadoff man? No problemo, double play coming up!
~At one point, Curtis Granderson grounded out on a 3-0 pitch. Hey, how’s Nelson Cruz doing?
~OK, one thing I can’t blame on the Mets: With the game tied at 3, the Marlins hit a double. The runner would ultimately come around to score the go-ahead-for-good run. However, the double was actually a foul ball. It wasn’t really close. It’s unfathomable that you can’t challenge foul balls.
-For more on this, I talked to Bud Selig. He responded, “Listen, we simply don’t ahve the technology to see if that was fair or foul. That would require some kind of device that would play the hit over again. Some kind of re-do of the play on a camera. We’d have to see it in an instant. The technology just doesn’t exist.”
~Later in the game, the Mets would win a challenge. The original call (out at 1st) was so blatantly wrong that it had me screaming for robot ump implementation.
~Hansel, who’s so hot right now, made Stanton look foolish to retire the side with runners in scoring position. Teams should worry about him as much as they worry about Gretel. Terry left him in for the next inning and he promptly sucked up the joint. I’m not sure what to make of it. He’s got to be able to handle multiple innings.
~Murphy and Flores both made errors today, though only Flores was charged. Murphy should’ve been charged for dropping a ball on a throw from Plawecki that likely would’ve gotten the runner out. Instead, he got the steal. The middle-infield also failed to turn a DP before Stanton’s dinger in the 1st. Oopsie.
~I don’t blame Bighat Torres for the 3-run dinger that iced the game. Great AB from the great Ichiro. I don’t want this to happen, but if a comebacker smacked Bighat right in the hat and it didn’t hurt and he still made the out, does the big hat become mandate?
-“Whoa, whoa, whoa, there Mr. Metsblow! Slow down! New hats? We’ve still got to work on this newfangled fair vs. foul review thing first. One decade at a time, please.” -Bud Selig
~Leathersich, in his debut, let up a double. He got bailed out when the runner overran 2nd base and was tagged out.
~The Mets scratched out just 7 hits. They didn’t score after the 3rd inning. We simply can’t hit. The losses of Wright and d’Arnaud have really shown that we have coy pond depth*. Tejada, Kirk, Recker, Cuddy, Grandy…these guys don’t hit. Yeah, Cuddy hit a dinger today. So what? We don’t score runs. We don’t hit. I started Metsblow to shit on the Wilpons because #fuckthewilpons I fucking hate them. I hate shitting on players. I see guys like Grandy and Cuddy trying their asses off and I respect the hell out of them. I hate shitting on them but they fucking blow. I know it’s not their fault, it’s simply METS disease, but it’s hard to watch.
Now, we go up against the resurgent Nationals for 4 games. They have scored 26 runs in the past 2 games. We can’t hit the shitty Marlins, so why would we hit the best pitching baseball? The only way to win will be if WE actually have the best pitching, meaning winning games 1-0.
It’s classic Mets to start hot this year. They’ll sputter and not make the playoffs, largely in part to the Wilpons not making moves/spending $ at the all-star break. “I want a new toy!!!” screams Baby Jeffy. “Whatever you want my darling son,” replies Fred. “Would you like the Tulo toy? Perhaps the CarGo toy?” “No!” shouts baby Jeffy, “I want that one!!,” whines baby Jeffy as he points to a hot dog. [Three weeks later] “It cost us every last dollar we had, and it was one hell of a rush to get this in by the trade deadline, but now Shittifield has the best damn hot dogs in town! You did a great job, Jeffy!,” said Fred.
*Breaking News: Coy pond depth gets a bit shallower as Brandon Nimmo is now dead.
