NFT: Matt Harvey wants to be just like Derek Jeter...

Mike in St. Louis : 4/15/2014 2:56 pm
Harvey has said that he's trying to emulate Derek Jeter's dating style, and it appears he's on the right track.

"That guy is the model," Harvey told Men's Journal of Jeter. "I mean, first off, let's just look at the women he's dated. Obviously, he goes out – he's meeting these girls somewhere – but you never hear about it. That's where I want to be."

has MUCH WORSE taste than Jeter.

All the women Jeter dated were A listers. All Harvey had were meh.

I was gonna say. Anne V is a hottie, but this one, at first glance, doesn't seem to wow.

If you need to question Anne V's hotness, watch Maroon 5's "Misery"...and since some of you can't stand Maroon 5, listen to it on mute.

Doubt Harvey will put up with this Mets nonsense like David Wright has for an entire career.

DanMetroMan : 4/15/2014 3:46 pm : link
like Trout grew up a Yankee fan and was destined to join them. Harvey isn't a FA until after the 2019 season. A lot can change and more importantly it's very possible/likely (Mets cheapness aside) that he signs a deal before he gets to FA in the first place.

Dan.. ignore the troll. He's a Yankee fan who poses as a Met fan to try and rile us up.
Harvey seems like the type of guy to want to leave  
Ten Ton Hammer : 4/15/2014 3:49 pm : link
if the team doesn't get it's shit together.

He's outspoken and kind of brash. The public debate about where he'd do his rehab, for example. Certainly not a 'good soldier' like Wright.

if the Mets still suck by the time it's an issue I don't think there will be many fans around to care. 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019... if they STILL suck then Harvey walking won't register much of a blip to most fans.

arcarsenal : 4/15/2014 3:54 pm : link
Harvey still needs to get back on the mound and actually pitch again. The idea that he's already itching to get out of here is silly. He can't even throw off a mound right now.

At least at that point money wasn't an object for the mets.

Five years from now, who knows what this team will be financially.Why would I trust that they'll feel like spending, when they've been saying for 4 years that everything is perfectly fine.

DanMetroMan : 4/15/2014 4:03 pm : link
if they suck by 2019 who cares if Harvey leaves? That will mean they sucked

2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019... if they manage that then I'll be happy for Harvey... assuming I even know the Mets suck by then since I likely will have lost interest with 11 straight seasons of suck with 6 yet to happen (including this year).

bxgiants4 : 4/15/2014 4:04 pm : link
Started the Harvey to yanks bs. Might've been even Roberts if I recall

Regardless DMM nailed it. Mets will lock him up long term and buy out some of his early years. He's not going anywhere

arc good call on Giants2012  
Headhunter : 4/15/2014 4:09 pm : link
he is a troll but gets to post on Met threads claiming to be a Met fan when he isn't
I'm not saying they're going to suck for another 6 years  
Ten Ton Hammer : 4/15/2014 4:12 pm : link
With the pitchers they have, even aside from Harvey, they'll do something positive.

I'm simply thinking of the organization's desire to hold on to one of their own. They don't have my trust. No one thought they'd let Reyes walk in his prime without even an offer, but they did. Harvey isn't Wright. He's not a Mets fan for life. I love Harvey, but he very much seems like a guy who is particular about money and winning, not sticking with one team for his career. And there's always the chance with this temperamental ownership that Harvey says things they don't like hearing and they let him go away. I don't trust the Mets. Don't know why anyone would.
Has Harvey been around long enough

he'd need to one-up Jeter's gift baskets. Fuck the fruit, scented oils, and the like.

Keys to a pink Ferrari. Pricey, but every time you see a chick in a pink Ferrari hurtling through New York, it's just..."fuckin Harvey man".

That's how it's done.

took 5 posts for a Pinstripe to get offended. And it was a pretty standard poster to do so.

Well done.
Harvey doesn't date anyone attractive  
SethFromAstoria : 4/15/2014 10:34 pm : link
because he doesn't have 5 rings. Stop comparing him to the greatest baseball player the area has ever seen. Dating or otherwise. He can't even pitch like Jeet. Where does he live? Does he live in Trump International? No. Did he dive into a crowd? No.

Enough. I'm tired of the comparing anyone to Jeter. It's typical Met fan bullshit.

I agree with your point but Trout grew up a Phillies fan from South Jersey. Harper grew up as a Yanks fan.

Shouldn't everyone want to be like him? I don't really see the problem with expressing a desire to emulate a hall of famer. Literally every pro athlete has a hero.

Harvey's great; most of us hope he gets healthy and we can watch him pitch again. I'd tune in for his starts last year even though baseball was generally unenjoyable then.

Hopefully instead Harvey will just hand his retirement to the press a year in advance and turn an entire season into a farewell tour while ground ball after ground ball makes it to centerfield between second and short.
