OT: Official 2021 NY Mets Season Thread

[RUfinally2008]

new corrupt, criminal owner. Same old mets.
Guess he can't rely on insider trading to sprice up the mets performance this year.

Especially love Billy's quote about Reggie and George. Don't look in the mirror when it comes to ownership at the risk of looking foolish. Political favors helped Big George make the money that he used to build those successful Yankees teams.https://nypost.com/2013/06/26/the-five-most-head-turning-quotes-in-yankees-history/

I thought, like you and several other well thought out Mets fans, this division will continue to be a 3 horse race to the final week. Hopefully🙏 this well be the worse stretch the Mets encounter all season and it's behind us. With 50 games to go, finish 28-22, not a lot to ask, might just get it done! 85-77, see you in October.

A lot of good has to happen. The stretch with the Giants and Dodgers could be brutal. We shall see.

If the offense wakes up for the remaining 2 months then we can definitely take 1st back and then praying reinforcements come back and stay healthy.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Let's win both of these 7 inning games today and then be back in a flat-footed tie with those other 2 teams going into their games tonight.

Not easy today
2 games with 105 degree heat index

It will not be easy for both teams. The better team that makes fewer mistakes should win.

The wild card is if increased heat causes a higher incidence of pulled hamstrings, then the Mets are doomed.

Keith On the home plate ump…..”He has been eractic”. Seriously little league umps call a more consistent game. Before coming at me I am saying ump has been horrible for both teams. Hard to hit when you have no idea what to take and what to swing at………….and yes at this point even with the most consistent ump we would still struggle

 

[RuBird]

Well Rocky had Tommy Gunn. We have Tomas the Gun. Love watching him throw out runners from his knees

 

[RUforJERSEY]

I assume this pitcher is making his ML debut since he has no stats.

 

[RuBird]

Pitch a few games many years ago but was hurt

 

[Doctor Worm]

He last pitched in the bigs in 2015!

 

[RuBird]

Love when pitchers help themselves. Huge bunt hit by Stro allowing Nimmo to hit his 💣

That's being aware. Knows how big an early lead is on these 7 inning games and allows the lineup to turn over.

 

[RuBird]

The home plate ump better watch himself. Getting heat from both benches. Might need someone to escort him to his car😜

 

[Knight Shift]

I'll be the first to say it. 0.5 games back. Two in a row.

 

[FrankZ]

Imagine my surprise to see we already played and won

 

[cubuffsdoug]

And think, a few more bounces the right way, and the Mets could be back in first all by themselves at the end of the day.

 

[FrankZ]

Deliver the DH faster please

 

[Knight Shift]

That's right!!! LFGM!!!!

 

[Knight Shift]

Dodgers had bases loaded, 2 out bottom of 9th, down 2-1 to Philies. Billy McKinney flied out. He was heard saying, "Ha, ha, Mets."

 

[FrankZ]

Villar is coming back to us. Yippee.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

May Day May Day May Day
This is the USS metropolitan
May Day May Day May Day

 

[RuBird]

All my years playing second base ( little league and adult softball) I can hear my coaches tell me get to the ball just knock it down. Damn you squirrel

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Any other time the Mets a have this shift on to the power side for each hitter. This one time they decide not to employ it. Why not this time?
We now understand why May and Familia are no closers. Pressure bust pipes.

Alright, I'm back to normal.

 

[FrankZ]

I mean I dunno.

 

[yesrutgers01]

Time for Alonso to deliver the long ball here!

 

[FrankZ]

Thank you polar bear (maybe he does have this)?!!?

 

[ScarletteK80]

I was never worried.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Pete !!!!!!!
backing it up
Nice job polar bear

 

[Knight Shift]

That speech Pete gave a few days ago--he was right!

 

[cicero grimes]

Put two in the books!

 

[RUfinally2008]

Very happy recap tonight. Now waiting on the Braves.

 

[yesrutgers01]

Time for Alonso to deliver the long ball here!

yes, I should get full credit here...

 

[RuBird]

Love me some Pete

 

[yesrutgers01]

Now if Cincy can hold off Atl...too bad Dodgers couldnt help us out

 

[RUfinally2008]

yes, I should get full credit here...

Who do you like in the 10th at Freehold Raceway? 😁

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Reds-9 Braves 1 top 3rd

 

[Ronnie_B]

Can we talk about benching McNeil? He's been a pussface all year long and he needed to stop that ground ball from going into the outfield, you know Wally Backman would have.

9-1 Reds

As soon as Baez and Lindor are back at full strength he goes right to the bench. He can sub in at 2nd SS and 3rd.
