Amazing how 2 Yankee wins coupled with 2 Mets losses, brings them out from under the rock they were hiding in,Lol. Never have I seen such front running fans in my life.:thumbsdown:
OT: 2019 Mets Season Thread

I agree with all of this. But still would love to see Harper play about 100 games bat 240, under 25hr under 70rbi. Just saying
I think it may have been the ride cutting into nap time. Lol
Man, both stadiums- I have been at both when almost no one there and late innings and security are complete asses.
They are when their starters are not pitching well. But so far this year, their offense and youth are far from mediocre.
Agree with this. Broxton came up big once this year, so I was ok with giving him a shot. Now that he's confirmed he can't catch up to a fastball over the plate, I'm done with this guy getting 4 ABs a game. Callaway is giving games away with him, Lagares, d'Arnaud, and soon-to-be Frazier playing way too much. Their affect kills the entire lineup. Another winnable game thrown away by Mickey.
The Mets can only afford one hole in the lineup per game. If he wants to play all of them at once, he should do it in a throw-away game like Friday when Vargas pitches, since that game shouldn't even be played.

The offense took 9 innings to show up yesterday. But Jake was dealing big time. Great game to watch. Philly fans love that team. Harper is playing it smart. Take the walks. Last year he got out of the routine but so far, he is back to laying off bad pitches.
There was no booing yesterday. And the "booing" heard opening day was a small group of guys who stood in front of the radio booth and did it as a stunt for a local sports talk show.
The excitement for this team is off the charts.
I can't figure why NJ.com has plenty of Yankees coverage and plenty of Phillies coverage, but almost zero Mets coverage.
Harper added to the excitement but they improved a lot before they signed him. They added two all stars, Realmuto and Segura and positions that they sucked at last year.
I guess no one cares that they just lost 2 games to their biggest rival.
I understand that there will be other chances to beat their biggest rivals, like 16 more chances.
Historically, within the division Atlanta or Washington was the Mets' biggest rival. Phillies, up until this year, was one of the biggest jokes. Going forward, Phillies may be the Mets' biggest rival.
They'll all be battling it out for years to come because they all have a nucleus of young players.
And can't deny a rivalry when both teams are battling for the division or a wild card spot, and both teams are driving distance away, so yes there will be (or is) a Mets - Phillies rivalry.
The Mets and Phillies are not a rivalry. Not in the sense of Yankees/Red Sox, Dodgers/Giants, Cubs/Cards, etc. For those teams, position in the standings doesn't matter, which to me is the definition of a rivalry. I really don't think the Mets have a rival.
Kind of interesting how changing the divisions around changed a lot of that. In the 80’s-90’s it really seemed like it was the Cubs and Cardinals. Atlanta became one for quite a while too but since there were never any “local” connection, we both had to be good to keep the connection.
Those Mets-Cards battles in the mid 80's were epic. Still vividly remember Straw hitting one of the scoreboard clock in extras off of the tough lefty Ken Dayley.
You can tell that from the fact there are, like every year,5 times as many posts and views in Mets threads as there are Yankee threads.I haven't posted in the Yankee thread in 2 months, yet Yankee fans are all over the Mets threads.I'm guessing it's boring as shit over there until they start winning. Do any of you guys feel you brought on bad karma by always mocking on the Mets injures over the years only to see it come baCK TO BITE YOU IN THE ASS?
Yanks lose to 6-12 Royals tonight. Karma is a ____.
I’m ok with a few of the Yankee posters who are either just talking baseball with us or just good natured ribbing.
Though, there are a couple of guys that are neither...oooonnnnnn the other hand, a couple of Met fans on here really come off as docking at times and dare I say, a little misguided.
Let’s have some fun guys.

Yankee dooshes- Proud, T2K and Kbee--they only stop by this thread to start shit and talk trash. Don't see the point. The other ones that visit once in a while are fine.
Please say no to this. I don't think David Wright was ever the same after that HR Derby.https://www.newsday.com/sports/base...wsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Sports
Lol, here's the difference in a nutshell between Mets fans and the front-running Yankee fans. I would welcome a counter argument. After "every" Mets game, win or lose, this thread will be filled with baseball talk about what happened, what should have happened and about all the moves made or not made, that's a "fact'. After Yankee games, only wins generate discussion in "that" thread for the most part. Case in point, as of this post, not a single post about last night's riveting loss to the 6-12 KC Royals. MLB gave the Yankees a early softball slate to start the season, a tour of the weakest teams in the AL to build up a nice early season lead in the East.
Didn't the Red Sox win the World Series and didn't the Yankees just play them?
Anyway I find some of the Mets fans comments day after games sometimes laughable. I don't think some of them don't understand it is a 162 game season.
When you're a Mets fan you celebrate whenever you can celebrate.
1986 was sooooo long ago.
It is, but at least they have been in the WS this decade...just saying
Agree- those 3 top the list but at least KBee can’t posts about a weak schedule upwards of 100 times in this year’s thread.
Guys like WB, as much as I argue with him and often disagree in football threads, has always been a welcome poster in here. He talks baseball and even if he wants to bust Met fans balls, he does it in a way that isn’t just being a DB but in good ribbing
That's your argument against mine? No answer for why as a front running fan base, almost always there's no baseball talk after a loss? 2 games against Boston out of 18 almost like a hand picked to start the season off great. When you saw the Yankees starting the season against Baltimore, Detroit and the White Sox, before a mini 2 games against the Bosox, you didn't feel they would get off to a great start?

The good thing about Kbee is he almost always gets put in the "timeout chair" and gives us a break for a few weeks.
I can't post about a weak schedule because it's not true. The Mets don't have a particularly weak early schedule this year. And the Yankees do.
Although fat lot of good it's doing them.
That season the Mets did have a weak early schedule. Fact.
How can you think they were going to have a great start with 12 guys on the IL??
As far as posting I don't post everyday on that thread win or lose. Mostly I post when it's an outstanding/ effort like Paxton the other night when he was on fire. Or the shortest Yanks Sox in 30 years.
Win or lose there is really nothing so far this year to praise or complain about Boone. So that's not an everyday topic. They aren't hitting which is a part of the IL and their general makeup.
Mets fans posting everyday doesn't make them better fans just bigger complainers [winking]
Don’t like boos? Play for another team.
Sometimes players come in here not knowing what they walked into.
I don’t get that sense with Harper. He knows exactly what he signed up for.
Harper has embraced the fans more than any sports player since I moved to the area in the late 80s.
You're embracing that team too much.
Who cares that you live there now, stay true to the Yanks, not the Sillies
They are very good for my business. This has been the best beers sales at this time of the year ever for the store. Saturday and Sunday home games are off the charts.
Besides I'm a baseball fan first and my one and only team is the Yankees but I watch them all. I'm not a narrow minded person when it comes to baseball and college football.
