Let's go METS 2016 thread ......Just get in and anything can happen!

That would have been the play this past winter when the Mets realized the Reds were ready to move him. A major opportunity lost on a local hero.
Read an article in the NY Post on how Mets have no easy fixes to solve hitting woes. Flores and Loney showed some flash in Miami. Hope d'Arnaud can come back and contribute.
Are you suggesting that Lone should be benched? He is solid in the field, and perhaps his bat is alive. He is 7 for 17 since coming aboard.
Loney might very well be the answer at 1b for now. I think a trade to get Uribe back might be in order.
I'm still skeptical over what Murph has done so far. When he's in a slump, and flubbing a double play every night, it's going to be a real drag on the Nats.
The guy was in AAA the first two months of the season. Don't get too excited. With the injuries, the line-up the Mets put on the field Sunday was almost as bad as those from the first half of last year.
I could not believe it when I read that the Mets have scored 3 LESS runs than last year ! I'm willing to give away 2020-2022 for a championship. Brewers already like Wheeler and flores . Lucroy!!! Giving up one run shouldn't cause you to get suddley depressed like game is almost out of reach.
He'll fit right in batting .215. Sounds like a lead off hitter in the current Mets lineup. :weary:
That is not true at all. Prior to the Madoff fiasco, the Wilpons were quite the free spenders. It started with Hernandez/Carter, and continued right through the Minaya era of Pedro, Carlos, Carlos, and Johan. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Remember the worst team money could buy? Whose money do you think bought it?
Out of the gate, Loney is looking like a good pickup. Batting just under .300, with a .444 slugging percentage. Let's see if he holds.
And Wilmer Flores has been batting .345 over the last seven days.
The whole lineup looked like toast yesterday against Pitttsburgh.

The Wilpons shook down Doubleday for full ownership in 2002. Piazza would not have been signed if that had happened sooner. They currently sit, or loiter, at 19th in salary. Yes they used to average higher, but hardly competitive for the NY market.

It wouldnt be a Harvey start if they didn't score for him...pretty sure the guy is back to being his normal self, he's been dominant these last 3 starts. the Yankee trolls must think 'dominant' means something else....
Anyway, that's 3 in a row for NYM after pulling last night out in extras. Winning run came on one of the strangest scoring plays I've ever seen. Tough road ahead in June with Pirates, Royals, Nats and Cubs coming up. Gonna be tough, they're really missing Wright Duda and d'arnaud

Last night was a pathetic exhibition of both managing and playing a baseball game on both sides. Glad the Mets pulled that one out!
He was 2-4, 1 RBI and was robbed of a home run on a great catch. Not a bad start for Johnson.
Wuns too few?
Games like today's you can just shrug off. They happen. The one that hurt was last night's, when they had the tying run thrown out at the plate with nobody out.
Mets need to at minimum fire long the hitting coach and make some roster moves this team is bad in every facet of the game right now, terry should be on the hotseat
Terry Collins just won the National League Pennant. He is not on the hotseat, nor should he be.
