NFT: Rockies at Mets. Game 1. Matz. Fat Lady singing again

Mickey is such a jackass

Mets just announced they are granting Syndergaard's wish and letting Rivera catch him tomorrow. LOL.

One game too late assholes. Annnnnd. Why is Ramos out of the game tonight if he's going to be resting tomorrow too? Idiotic.

Or wave a cat tail or start rubbing that magic penny or invoke the memory of Jobuku (still cant hit the curve)

May not have much to cheer for soon - so Im all in - We need a historic run to make it to the dance and until we are out - we are ALL IN!

LFGM!

Nimmo!

Guy in Coors field bleacher with a glove - just got beaned on the head of Nimmo's HR - 1-0

McNeil!

.

weak minded loser

Wheeler(not gonna be fooled again by a run of 2nd half starts) are so overrated.

With 2 outs.

Dumbass walking people with a 3 run lead.

That pitcher was 0-37

11 runs scored and the over-under should probably be 22.

Conforto is ok

But neither is a keeper. You have two more years of each and then sdiod

since the all star break but too many heartbreaking losses did the team in. How you can’t get a pitcher out with 2 outs bases loaded is beyond me. Hopefully Mickey and his stupid decisions will be shown the door. Get rid of the manager and fix the bullpen, and there’s a lot to be excited about for neck tear.

neck tear.

Lol with Guillorme over Panik

.
This says it all - ( New Window )

Hopefully we can use this as an opportunity to get a new manager and a GM and try to set this team up for a better decade in 2020s than we had in the 2010s (only reached the division series round one year, ughhhh).

Callaway's baffling moves make the case for his dismissal obvious. Brodie traded away the majority of our best prospects for Robinson Cano, Edwin Diaz and Marcus Stroman. The Mets will likely finish with the 7th or 8th best record in the National league. Brodie tried to win now, and failed. Tampa is on the verge of another 90 win season with a payroll that even the Wilpons couldn't justify. Let's right the biggest wrong of last offseason and bring in Chain Bloom to make us legit.

I had to take a break as this season has been a roller coaster of emotion and the late time zone starts are tough during the week anyway.

Assuming they don't totally just mail it in here the next week and a half, I'm actually quite proud of this group (not counting most of the bullpen). There were about a half dozen times you thought they were left for dead going back to June and they never said "die". Ultimately, you can't navigate a two-man pen, you can't drop 5+ run leads in the 8th and 9th innings multiple times, and you can't get swept at home, late in the season by the team you're chasing in the playoff standings. All of which did them in.

One thing on the manager, who obviously needs to be let go at season's end. While he terribly mismanaged a lot of decisions and overall seems in over his head as a manager. I really wanted to like him as I think he's a genuinely good guy and looking back on it, in May and June when we all said the season was toast and he kept saying they had a run in them, he was right. I thought he was out of his mind but the team did in fact make a run and at least made things interesting for a while even with a shit pen and I give him credit for being able to see that.

All that said, please bring Joe Girardi in here! I'm begging.

Aside from the move for Girardi, which I think is a slam dunk no-brainer, I'm not sure what direction they go in particularly with the staff. While, I probably wouldn't do it, I think they are going to move Noah. Just too much writing on the wall at the trade deadline and with the Nido/Ramos stuff. I could come around on the idea if the package is significant and they follow with locking up Wheeler and Stroman. I like Matz as a 5th starter.

As for the every day guys, I'd love McNeil's future to be at 2b, but with Cano here McNeil has to play third. But other than that, we seem to be pretty well set in the short term.

Ramos
Alonso
Cano
Rosario
McNeil
Davis
Nimmo/Lagares
Conforto

Bench guys: Dom, Panik/Guillorme, Nimmo/Lagares, Nido/Rivera, backup SS.

If Thor is moved, CF and catcher are the spots I'd target along with pitching in the pipeline.

I have no idea about the bullpen other than that I know Familia is garbage, Diaz needs to be moved or demoted to start next season and if it's the latter maybe he can earn back trust. Obviously Lugo. Gsellman, Wilson and Avilan as LOOGY.

says one thing, defends it (somewhat stupidly at times), then a few days later...

NOW Nido is catching for Thor - ( New Window )

and finished her aria. 5 back with 12 to play, time to plan for next season. It was a fun run for a while, hopefully, if nothing else, the failure to get a WC berth will lead to a change in manager.
