Don't say anything positive about Stanton...it upsets someone
I was staring at those Padres uniforms and trying to figure out where I had seen those color combos before.
They're jockey uniform colors!
Stanton doing well doesn't upset me. What upsets me is the stupid Mets fan who says he just wants talk baseball but can't help himself and talks some shit. I guess it better then you having to watch that crappy team of yours! 🤣
I almost feel sorry for Mets fans...almost.
I called a friend who is as big a Mets fan as there is the other day and I asked him what he thought of his team this year. He gave me the old "We're only a few games out of a playoff spot. Once you're in anything can happen".
I called him back this morning and all he said was "Baseball season is over. I'm focusing on the upcoming football season and my Jets".

The Mets are lost right now. Steve Cohen is the opposite of Wilpon with spending, but still an awful owner that makes awful decisions.
The best thing is Mutts fans used to gripe that the Yanks bought all their success and that’s the only reason they were better. Now what? 😂
I feel sorry for a few Mets fans. My best friend is a Mets fan. We went to so many Yankees Mets games together, baseball trips all across the country. But the Mets turds on here are not folks I feel bad for. At least 2008 is consistent. He hates the Yankees and he hates Yankees fans. The problem with him he is simply too stupid to talk/discuss/argue about baseball. Yes pretends to be a baseball fan but he must be getting old as he has exposed himself time and time again as a Mets clown this year way too many times.

So they gave up on this season back in December? Last season they finished two games out of the WC. Since the Soto trade, they've traded for a top of the rotation pitcher and a two time batting champ. Doesn't look like a team that has given up to me.
Padres are not a great team, not in the same class as LA, NYY, ATL or the Phils, but they are 9-9 this season against those teams. Their problem is they need to start beating the bad teams regularly. They should be in WC contention throughout the season
If I recall the 2023 Padres season was a tremendous disappointment, correct? And they continued down the same path for 2024 minus Sosa. Lots of talent on that team, doesn't seem to be as good as expectations.
Definitely was a disappointment and now they don't have Sosa. But who's giving up on a season? If you're giving up on a season you don't make the two trades they made in the past two months. Despite their crappy play against some bad teams (swept in Colorado) they're a game out for a WC spot and showed they can compete with the better teams in the sport as I noted.
Would it be a total shock to you if they made the playoffs?
No but you have to agree with me there is something wrong with this club even when they do make the playoffs. But they don't seem to care. It's beyond the players too.
I would agree with you about last year. There were problems in the clubhouse. But I think thats gone away this year. Read into that any way you want. Their biggest problems right now are that they can't win at home (11-18) and Machado and Tatis aren't hitting.
And there wasn't anything wrong with them just two years ago when they beat the Mets and the Dodgers.

And is there any doubt that Holmes is a setup reliever and not a closer???
This is starting to resemble the 2022 season where he had a decent first half and imploded after the ASG.
Luckiest mofo I've seen to escape so many games.

Yankees currently winning at a clip of .667. That would be 108 games over a season. Holmes has some flaws as no one single player is ever perfect. Perhaps they will pursue a closer type at the deadline to bolster. That being said, to focus only on the negative does not seem like much fun in a season that looks to be very fun so far.
That was a ridiculous call, especially with Soto trying to avoid the fielder while retreating to second base. The umpires have to use some sort of discretion to take that into account.
Just another stupid call. Soto has the right to get back to the bag.
An infield fly rule should have been called, a out call would been fine instead of the crap that followed. I believe what actually was called
was home field advantage.
Can someone please shut up Boone? Right away he says, that is a double play. Then afterword changed his mind. He is about the
worst I've heard and I have been following
the Yanks since the forties. I have to record the
games so I can fast forward his
rants. I've been a Yankee fan for 9 decades and he is only the
3rd Yankee that I could not stand.
Come on. It's only been 38 years since the Mets won a World Series.
The Jets haven't won a Super Bowl in 55 years.
It's gotta be tough being a Mets/Jets fan.
Let's be honest, folks that are Mets, Jets, and RU fans have very low self-esteem. :)
Gotta balance the torture with some joy and happiness.
You are correct, but I've been wragging on Holmes for three years because he just lucks out too many to be dependable come the post season.
Gotta be able to strike out guys as a closer.
Funny thing is Mets fans biggest, ill fated, comeback is "when was the last time the Yankees won a World Series?"
The answer is 22 years after their last! 😂
Schmidt placed on the 15-day IL retroactive to May 27th with a strained lat. Also Google had the actual rule on that play last night and it turns out it is a double play. Boone read the rule in the clubhouse and already admitted he was wrong. But back to Schmidt these guys just can't seem to hold up!
I'm hoping Cashman looks closely at the Mets roster to see who can potentially help at the trade deadline.
There's going to be a MASSIVE turnover on that team.
