Mets 4, Padres 0
We scored 4 runs! IT’S A NEW DAY!!! We’re now 37-5 when scoring 4 runs. Holy freakin’ shit. And TDA is apparently ready to go. He’ll be back by Friday and dead on Sunday.
The big story from last night was Thor. He was perfect going into the 7th. He finished with a line of 8 IP, 0 R, 3 H, and 9 Ks. Holy balls.
Let’s win this fucking series.
Mejia has been suspended for 162 games for using PEDs. Baaaaallllin. So ballin. Juicing while on parole for juicing. So ballin. Of course, getting caught isn’t ballin.
Everyone is clamoring for his removal from the team.
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
It costs ZERO dollars if he gets banned. Wouldn’t you rather see if our elite closer can come back next season in a Mets uniform, rather than another one? It costs ZERO dollars if he gets caught.
The people calling for Mejia’s head are the same nutjobs that called for ARod’s. Uhhhh…soooo…how did keeping him work out for the Yankees? Fucking idiots. PEDs aren’t shit. Everyone’s on them. Who cares? Do you drink coffee before you go to your Wall Street job? That’s a PED. Do you smoke weed for rapping? That’s a PED. PEDs are awesome. The only real criminals in baseball were the people that didn’t play against black people. Those records should be asterisked the fuck up.
Keep Mejia. For the love of Gawd, keep Mejia.
P.S. Clippard looked real good last night.
Well, hopefully the Padres dish Upton before tonight.
Either way, the Nats are coming this weekend. The Padres suck. We need all these games. Must win both series. The Nats are fucking retarded. They got rid of their two best players not named Bryce (LaRoche and Clippard). They haven’t recovered from the hubris of shutting down Strasburg in the playoffs a few years ago. They’re dumb. DUMB DUMB DUMB. Meanwhile the Maverick went full Maverick and got us Clippard. Brilliant. I’m in shock.
We’re way better than we were a week ago, that’s for sure. Are we good enough? This week will say a lot. A LOT A LOT. Big game James up against us tonight. Can we hit? DO WE HAVE AN OFFENSE?
Go get CarGo or Cespedes…
Of course it was deGrom that broke up Greinke’s scoreless streak. Of course.
Kirk started over Juanny. Look at today’s lineup! When it comes to the lineup, everyone is now fighting for a spot. In all seriousness, this was the biggest game of the season. deGrom knew it. The hitters knew it. The win has sent shockwaves throughout the league. The talking heads are screaming, “MAVERICK! MAVERICK!” They should be–the trade was huge, and Conforto is a delight to watch at the plate. He’s also been in two outfield collisions in two days.
Our August schedule is dogshit weak. Our September schedule is dogshit weak. Look at the schedule. Ok…now actually: Look at the schedule. It’s dogshit! Nats and Pirates. Yankees. Everything else is against our shitty division opponents or other shitty teams. Even the Orioles are below .500 at this point. We finish the season against the Nats. Could that matter? We have a real opportunity.
Familia–who for NO FUCKING REASON pitched yesterday–blew the save today. He needed his reps! REPS!! Well hey, Uribe got to Jansen! Uribelievable!! Hitters! HITTERS! Dudes with rings! Wow. The Dodgers can really hit, and they got to our elite closer. We did the same thing to them. One note on Familia is that he better be ready to pitch on back-to-back-to-back-to-etc. days down the stretch. Pick up that damn win for deGrom next time. Shake it off. Everyone loses. Even Mo. This is the first adversity Jeurys has faced. His response to this is what matters. He’s been outstanding, and is still young (25) and inexperienced.
Hey, all you pessimists: The Mets have never let us down before. I see no reason not to get your hopes impossibly high.
Also, fuck the Yankees. The Royals got Cueto.
TDA played for Bing yesterday. He did well. Chooooo. It’s all lining up! It’s all scripted. This house of cards is about to collaaappsseeeee.
Greinke’s got a big scoreless streak. The Mets finally have an offense. Is this Conforto’s time? Wouldn’t it be too perfect if he breaks the streak?
Just remember, if that happens, you’ve got to get your hopes waaaaay up. The Mets never let us down. Get ready to get hyped.
By the way, the scoreless streak is BULLSHIT. Greinke let up runs in the all star game. Bullshit streak. Total bullshit. Not a real 0-for.
Mets 15, Dodgers 2
Dingers for Jelly! Murph! 2 for Duda! Conforto 4-4! Uribe berry berry good defensive play and a hit of his own!
Murph and Duda have protection! It’s a new day! It’s happening!
Let’s get our hopes uuuuuppp!!
Someone tell me what the fuck Familia is doing in the game with a 13 run lead.
Unequivocally, this was the best win of the season.
The Mets have come up with a whole new way to disappoint us. They’ve done it. Hopes are back up. It’s awful. 2 games over .500 wooooo.
Let’s celebrate the like Greinke isn’t pitching tomorrow.
Dodgers 7, Mets 2
On the greatest day in 6 years, the Mets still managed to remind us that they’re the Mets.
We brought up Conforto and got Kelly Johnson and Juan Uribe from the Braves. A glorious day. They’re instantly the three best hitters on the team. However, we’re still the Mets, and we still got beaten badly. Granted, Johnson and Uribe didn’t officially join the roster until after the game, but the game was a nice reminder that we’re completely inept at offense.
We have scored 2 runs in the past 18 innings. Before that, in an 18 inning game, we scored 1 run (until TOOOOTALLY BREAKING IT OPEN). So Conforto basically doubled our RBI total. I have high hopes for Uribe and Johnson. They’re both batting over .270!! They’re the only two on the team that have those stats now!
Dodgers 3, Mets 0
I won’t say what everyone else is saying. Even the syocphantic blogs are starting to “pull a Metsblow” and call for Jeff’s (aka Joffrey’s) head. Good on them. Glad to have an effect on people.
All I’ll say is this:
To anyone who is saying, “well it’s Kershaw,” let me ask you this:
Was it Kershaw who threw a no-hitter against us? No. It was a medicore-at-best rookie for SF, and they did it IN FLUSHING.
We get shutout every other fucking day. Kershaw has nothing to do with it.
Our cleanup hitter, Mayberry, is batting .170, while our #5 hitter, Soup, is batting .179…oh and Tolo, our pitcher? He’s batting .147 hahaha.
Thank God Greinke is having a baby, otherwise it’d be back-to-back CGSOs guaranteed. Instead, the Mets face scrub Ian Thomas tonight. CGSO almost guaranteed.
Conforto is up! Conforto is up!
This is undeniably a piece of good news.
NOT SO FAST!
READ BETWEEN THE LINES!
This is really the Mets saying, “we’re not making a trade.” Fucking pathetic.
Meanwhile the Pirates got Aramis Ramirez. Why would we want an inexpensive 3B? We’ve got Soup! And Wright will be back tomorrow!
Nats 4, Mets 3
Wow. Nothing else to say. The Mets pulled a Mets. Shocker.
