Yea it's rough, maybe Reds would eat some of it?

Guy is the OBP king. Best overall year of his career was in 2015. Bad start to this year but absolutely on fire lately. Aside from 2014, when he was injured, can almost pencil him in for 6.0+ War each year.

I understand trade is unrealistic for many reasons, but if you want to maximize the Mets chances of winning a ring in the next three years, he'd really help.

Big win to get the split. The Nationals are in trouble with Papelbon and the Yankees keep winning so they may not even get to a point where they make Miller available. If they do, the price is going to be incredibly steep.

Hard to believe we're only 4.5 back right now.. the Nats really have missed some prime opportunities to run away with this thing. I love that we're still on their tails but we can't let up. We have to take advantage of the schedule we have coming up and go on a serious run.

Familia's sinker was as good as I've ever seen it last night. Absolute filth. And what else can you say about Reed? The guy has been incredible. 0.00 ERA in his last 13+ innings. Has like 20 K's and 1 BB in that span. He and Jeurys are one hell of a 1-2 punch right now and I love Robles as the 7th inning guy.

Gotta hit and score more runs, though. Was nice to see Droobie finally break that skid. And we really need to take this series. Hopefully the offense can get to Wainwright and Verrett can keep us in it.

but at this point it's hard to figure out what it's going to take for that to happen. The BP, like the first half of last year has been our team MVP. We get just enough SP and hitting, then they continue to not create self inflicted wounds. Glad the FO isn't taking them for granted though because there's a real risk of wearing these guys out, especially once the race gets tighter.

but if the Mets were willing to absord the entire Joey Votto contract, what else would they need to offer Cinci to bring him to Citi Field? He basically gets paid $22.5M until 2023. I doubt the Mets would want to take on the entire contract, but talk about adding some juice to the offense...

Wild prediction... I predict Votto is traded to the Blue Jays this off-season.

He will need a day off soon ..
