Backman should be here
Grandy/Cuddyer should have never been brought here.
Murphy, Gee and Niese should be outta here

irrationally kill Flores though? Really? How about all the times in Mets threads where if people said that they should move him from ss I have said that they shouldn't and since this was the plan entering the season they needed to give it much more time? Was that irrationally kill Flores as well?

we really don't need to belabor the point. My comment wasn't even specifically directed at your comment. No, your post wasn't that bad. But let's get something straight, you certainly don't play the card of a Flores supporter...even though you occasionally throw in the comment that he should be given a chance for X amount of weeks. Which is fine. I know how you feel about Flores. The funny thing is that we don't feel all that different, I just choose to not focus on the negatives all the time, especially when he's one of the better offensive players on the team all while spending most of the season at the very bottom of the order.

I, for one, think this game was lost when Grandy wasn't good enough to make two plays in the 9th. The first one was letting that single falling in front of him. I get it...don't want to make a bad play and have that runner on third instead of first. But I've also seen plenty of right fielders make that catch. Hell, I think Cuddyer would have made that catch. And the second was when he had to use his elderly arm to make a throw. Just awful.

lol, sorry, I guess I did belabor the point.

My dad basically texted me the same thing, said he never wants to see him again. Its sad, i thought kirk showed promise a few years ago and it just hasn't worked out. I don't get it. Its probably because he's wearing a mets uniform, if he goes anywhere else he'll finally figure it out and start to hit.

Mario.

Can we score a run?

.

but everytime I watch Granderson try to field a ball and throw someone out I wish he was Kirk...
Mets make me crazy.

What does that Met pitcher have on his head? Is that some sort of protection?

he's consistent with it but it sucks to watch.

Hence the 1-1 game in the 11th inning.

Geezus. Well the Cardinals have the best pitching staff in the league and the Mets have the second best. How long will this go?

.

They set there looking at pitches right down the middle and swing at the bullshit. Awful at bats by Lagares and Granderson

It's a big zone, but it is consistent

You might be wildly inconsistent but you look good when your on.

Murphy double wins it. Come on.

My last comment on this as well but to be clear it was most certainly specifically directed at me, you even quoted my post.

Lol

He might be a better option than any of the other sorry fucks that have batted for the mets tonight.

Their good guys against a struggling Torres...used to be "The Good Torres"

Is this a joke? He fouled off like 6 pitches. That wasn't a bad AB at all. He made him work.

You are right, that one was directed at you but it was hardly a harsh comment. Sorry the snarky comment bothered you so much.

I'd prefer Pedro Lopez (currently the manager at Binghamton). Backman is too outspoken/vindictive to be a good manager in the majors

.

Maybe so but since he has never been given the opportunity we don't really know how he would conduct himself if given the chance.

Is a moron

Need to get this out

just need one

Hate to put out so much effort to lose

..

and it being a home game we should win it.

There we go got a guy on

......

Cuddyer

or you know what will happen

Nice tough win

mayberry

.

Way to gut out a win

I'll take it.
