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

Im still amazed that this guy has taken up half of this thread, which he didnt want on the Rutgers board in the first place.

Come mierda!

Again, I've NEVER said that I didn't want this thread on the Rutgers football board. I've said that if you start one here you should expect non-mets fans to post their opinions...no matter how much it makes some of you cry.
Now, tell me who the mets are competing against this evening.....and what's the ERA of the guy starting against them tonight ?
 
O.K.
So you're done with the Twinkies.....the worst team in MLB.
Who ya got next ?
Whoever is on the schedule,pretty sure that's how it works, but I wish it was a team trying out unproven players for next year who just came off crapping the bed. Wonder who that might be? They'll have all winter to think if they made a big enough impression to get a late season call up again. No way their coming North in April. They sucked when it mattered. Ask the youngsters the Mets have brought up, how they feel right about now? Who's NYC best MLB team?

Come on....you know who is next for the mets.
And it ain't the Blue Jays.
 
An interesting read for Mets fans. From the end of the article:

"With injuries taking out the Mets star players, the team needed the JV squad to pull them out of the pit, and that’s exactly what the team’s depth pieces have done. This Mets team isn’t as good as last year’s Mets team, but they’ve been good enough to put themselves back in a strong position to make it to October, and they get to finish with a couple of weeks against baseball’s worst opponents.

And if they get back to October, they still have Noah Syndergaard, and he can win games by himself. If he keeps getting help from this cast of depth pieces, the Mets could be a problem for the rest of the NL in October once again."

Uh...you already played the Yankees four games this season. How'd that work out ?
LOL, you say that like we got sweep, you know BoSox'ed. We split, but that was before the real pressure part of the season began,and we know who crapped the bed when it counted. All I heard leading up to the grand 4 game set with Boston was, we can't split,it won't help. We pray for a 4 game sweep, but, 3 out of 4 is a must.HAHAHAHA, yea, there was a sweep alright.

Yea, but I thought, we all thought, it was the Yankees setting themselves up for the future with so much young talent. We've played more young kids than the Yankees. For all their talk about the future, only their catcher has any promise. No pitching to speak of, and position players? Don't make me laugh.
 
Back to topic:

The phrase "must game" is possibly the most overused in sports. But tonight's game comes close. Syndergaard vs. some dude with a 0-6 record and an ERA resembling your kid's (or grandkid's) bedtime. Got to get this guy. Can't count on winning 2-1 as the Braves do have a bonafide MLB lineup, especially with the acquisition of Matt Kemp.

Conforto in, Bruce out. Two Riveras in and one of them is batting fifth!

On a related topic, TC confirmed that Syndergaard is lined up for the wild card. He'll pitch Saturday, then next Friday (Thursday is an off day), lining him up for the following Wednesday.

Im hoping for a good run in the playoffs with this group of young-er pitchers Lugo, Gsellman, Ynoa, along with Syndergaard and Colon. Those guys deserve all the credit in the world for getting the Mets in this position, esp despite what some people here say, they were pitching in Las Vegas two months ago. BTW, the Mets got some help from the other LV51s like Rivera, Kelly, Reynolds, Nimmo, etc.

Whether the run ends in SF, StL, Washington, LA, Chicago, or Boston, at least the Mets players didnt quit this year, even though they drove the fans batsh** crazy at times. I will give them that. At the very least, there may be some interesting trades in the offseason to help out 2017.

You're just an angry old loser who has nothing better to do than troll a Mets thread. Go to Walmart and get a job as a greeter or something. You're pathetic at this point.

Oh and the Mets have a better record that your team while missing major parts of their team for the majority of the season. $200 million just doesn't buy what it used to.

There's a guy on this board whose father once said " It ain't over 'til it's over."
We'll see.
But if the mets keep facing guys like Aaron Blair...0-6 with an ERA of 8.23.... it's gonna be hard to pass them.

Oh snap, well said Andy. He used the "who's the best MLB team in NYC" for as long as he could,lol. We're suppose to dismiss all the injuries, but he conveniently looks past the payroll. PS. What happened to his side kick,at least he knew when the battle was lost.

Tom Lasorda said in an interview many years ago, " Every Major League team will win 50 games,and lose 50 games. It's what you do with the remaining 62 games that make or break a season". It's not always who your playing, but when your playing them. Any MLB team can beat anyone. They all get paid to play, I take no one for granted. LGM

Unfortunately, last night shouldve been one of the 50 that they shouldve won. They better get it together before 2007 and 2008 repeats.
 
What happened to the "WHO IS THE BEST TEAM IN NYC" question?

Things are headed in the right direction......only one game back in the loss column.....give us a few days. I just checked and you guys have no more games left vs. the Twinkies. Only problem is we've got some left with Boston.
Like somebody said: "It ain't over 'til it's over."

BTW, you guys DO know that the Braves have the 2nd worst record in MLB, right ?

How'd that work out for you ?
 
Mets were 5-2 vs the ,

do you know that KBEE?
 
Gutsy move pinch hitting for Bruce. Maybe should have done the same for D'arnaud. But he was facing a lefty who they had on the ropes so they figured they'd go with him. That at-bat was so weak.
NY Post does a nice job on Mets coverage. Three articles up. One on d'Arnaud. One on Cespedes, who is hitting low 200's in September. And one on Bruce. Need 2 of these 3 to get at least lukewarm for the final run.
