Magic Number 10 Even With Rigged Umpiring

Mets 4, Marlins 3

Beware the rigged umpiring. The umps tried to steal this one (no fucking way Uribe went around on that K). We know the Yankees will get all the calls in their 1-game playoff. The ump office in NYC has a Jeff Maier plaque in it. Umps love Kershaw and Greinke, too. Beware.

Opponents should just walk Cespedes every time.

d’Arnaud, when healthy, is hitting better than Posey. He’s not the same caliber fielder, but damn Travis can slug. Pray for his health. Pray for him.

So get ready, Metsblow nation. Get ready for Harvey to get shelled. Get ready for the umps to rig shit, even WITH replay. Get ready for the world to somehow swing back to normalcy where we blow. Prepare for the worst and pray for the best. 

Pennant Blow: The Nats squeaked by the Phillies in 11 innings. Our magic number remains at 10. 

Mets Somehow Win 82nd Game

Mets 10, Braves 7 (F/10)

Man, what a stinker! The Mets made about 10 errors–only 2 of which counted because the official scorer in Atlanta was drunk–and still won. They didn’t even start Cespedes. They started Kirk for fucks sake. No Wright or TDA, either. This was a straight up OFF DAY for the Mets and they still won.

The Braves are the biggest losers on the beach. They got sun burnt and have sand in their buns. What losers. What an embarrassment. 26 outs in and 3 runs up and they couldn’t close it out.

Conforto dinger. And his D is better than all the scouts thought. He’s the 2nd best player on the team. He’s great.

Murph will not be in the team next year. He is clutch, though. Ya gotta give him that.

82 wins. Whoopdee-shit. We’re officially not losers this year. Had we gotten the Cubano in the offseason like I begged, we’d be at 100 already. Anyway, we got him (more than halfway through the season) and we’re fucking rolling. Let’s try and get that 2 seed and get the extra home game against the Dodgers. Go go go don’t blow blow blow.

Thank God For No Extra Innings

That was too close. The new look offense was able to get 2 in the top of the 9th, once again thanks to Cespedes. He had already hit a dinger, but this time it was a dribbler that did the trick.

Who blew? Clip board, that’s who. Get it together, Tyler. It’s one thing to let up a dinger to Bryce, especially when it’s just a solo shot and you have wiggle room, but last night was some bullllshit. Stop blowing.

Let’s sweep em and get the fuck out of Turner Field. Gonna be tough with Niese up. He’s got a lot to prove. It’s looking more and more likely that he winds up in the pen as a lefty specialist. Hopefully, they knock Turner Field down soon. I think that’s still a couple years away. 

Pennant Race: the Nats blooooooow. They lost to the Marlins again. Wow they bloooow.

So Who Blew Yesterday?

NatsBlow.com would be making a fortune right now. They lost in Miami. They’re fucking dogshit. Lifeless poo.

I don’t even know what to write about. PayCespedes.com might be a good idea for a site.

Matz should start in the playoffs. Make Niese the lefty specialist out of the pen. I don’t think he’s as good as Edgin or Blevins, but hey what can ya do?

Thor starts today. Can’t skip him with the #2 seed in our reach. It’s looking more and more likely that the Mets will make the playoffs (fuck the Jewpons, still) and will play the Dodgers in the divisional round. I’d really prefer that extra home game, durrrr.

Hainted Turner Field No Match for Big Sexy

Well, I guess Turner Field got to us a BIT as Colon’s scoreless streak ended after 31 innings. Even so, he pitched very well (6.2 IP, 2 ER). He also had an RBI single because the man can HIT. All of this came after a long rain delay, which makes the performance even more impressive. Colon, through a translator, said he was very happy.

Plawecki and Uribe each had 3 rib-eyes as everyone seems to be contributing. I even saw Eric Young, Jr. crossing the plate at one point.

The Braves are dogshit. Turner Field is our biggest enemy by far in this series. Today, Steven Matz will go up against significantly shittier rookie Matt Wisler.

The Nats Are Dead

Well that was some series, huh? The Mets swept the Nats for the second time in a row. This time it was in Washington. I’ve never seen anything quite like it, except when the Mets are on the other side of it. Three comeback wins in the most demoralizing fashion possible.

Thanks to Mr. Sweptcedes. He’s the greatest player ever. Thanks to Sandy for bringing him here. Now that his contract has been renegotiated, we have more than 5 days after the season to resign him. So instead of the band-aid being ripped right off, we can be disappointed all offseason. Enjoy it while it lasts! I hope the Jewpons recognize that he’s worth infinity dollars in t-shirt sales alone.

For those in Metsblow Nation waiting for the other shoe to drop, here comes Turner Field! We all know it’s HAINTED. So hainted. The Mets better be ready to win in Atlanta, because we sure as fuck never have.

P.S. Depsite the article headline, we haven’t clinched shit yet. Stay fucking focused.

Mets 8, Nats 7

Welp, the pieces of shit that cover NY sports (everyone except me) tried as hard as they could to make us blow. They got in Harvey’s head. They got in NY’s collective head (again). They caused a storm and a ruckus and tried as hard as they could to derail the Mets. They lied and lied and fueled the nonstory fire big time. It hurt Harvey. It hurt the fans. But thankfully the Nats have a case of the METS and we won.

Redemption was spelled Y-O-E-N-I-S as the best player Mets fans have ever seen made a huge boner in CF that allowed 3 extra runs, only to hit a bases clearing double in the next half inning.

The Nats are soulless and broken. Step on their throats tomorrow. Our ace, Jake, takes the hill against Stephen “It’s OK to shut him down because we’ll be back in the playoffs for years to come” Strasburg.

What a Great Bullpen We Have

Mets 8, Nats 5

It’s a good thing Matt Williams is fucking horrible and blew Scherzer’s arm the fuck out. He just doesn’t yank him. He hasn’t all season and he didn’t tonight, either.

Our bullpen is soooo shut down, derp. 5.2 IP, 0 R. Keep on quick pitching.  

We’ve had a lot of back injuries this season. Pray that Cespedes doesn’t hurt his back carrying the entire team on it. 

We Blow Again

Going into the series @WSH, which was the bigger lock–that we’d be reeling or that the Nats would be surging? Such fucking locks. We’re still 4 games up, but damn does that feel thin. Damn does it feel like we’re blowing it. Losing 5 out of 9 against the Sawx, Phils, and Fins is absolutely unacceptable. “At least we’re beating up on the bad teams” was our official slogan for the season. Now we can’t even beat the NL Least.

What a shitty loss, too. Collins pinch hits for Plawecki (subbing a righty for a righty) and that resulted in a double play. Clippard has been stellar, but blew it. The bottom line is you can’t only score 3 runs against the Marlins. They pulled that gambling fiend Cosart out in the 5th fucking inning even though he was shutting us down (except for Cespedes). Their pen is dogshit, but our pen is worse, apparently.

At least Matz looked pretty good. We’ll need him–as well as Gee and Verrett–to pitch well down the stretch because Harvey, Thor, and even deGrom have all looked gassed and if we want them strong and under their magical innings limit barriers for the postseason, then guys like Matz have to step up. So far, so good, except for the blister. Can’t fault Matz today.

OK, it’s time. @WSH time. Duda and Murph are both back, though Duda isn’t in today’s lineup. I’m not sure why not, but at least they’ve finally moved Cespedes out of the 2-hole. Today’s matchup is Niese vs. Scherzer, and I gotta say that looks absolutely AWFUL on paper. I don’t see how we win it, especially because we blow so hard.

Big Sexy Throws a Big Complete Game Shutout

The Mets prove once again that they are the masters of short memory–of quickly putting a dogshit game behind them. The reason for that is, of course, elite pitching. You’re only as good as your next pitcher, and the Mets have some of the best. Tolo throwing a CGSO shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. A behind-the-back flip web gem? No surprise there, either. He’s a cat.

Pray for d’Arnaud–he’s amazin’ when healthy. Pray for Duda and Murph and Cuddy to return. Pray for Matz. Pray for Wright. Pray for the health of this team. Just fucking pray. Because that’s what we have now. Pray. The Mets at full health can compete. Pray for deGrom and the rest of our aces to be able to get some stamina. Just pray.
