It's early, but no doubt, the best path to the post season will be winning the NL East. The NL West is the best division in ALL of baseball and should get 3 teams in. Time will tell, plus the Mets having played between 6 or 7 games less than those teams hurts the math at the moment.
Any more important than the others?
Or is because Braves are now only 1 back? Gotta root for the Red Sox tonight for multiple reasons.
Wonder if President William McKinley will be in the lineup.
Who is the oldest living Met who started his career with them?
The condition eliminates Craig,Thomas,Mays,et al.

Well that's just what the team needs. A stopgap. The injured OF's will be coming back. Just need someone to more capably hold down the fort than Maybin and Lee have. Not light the world on fire but at least get the occasional hit.
McKinney will hit .200 or below and has HR power. He’s never made it big time in the majors because he is quite limited. Think he started career with Yankees.
Wonder if Dom Smith is banged up? I know he hasn't been hitting great, but under the circumstances how do you bench him, especially against a righthander?
He went 2 for 3 last night. Maybe they felt he was getting too hot and might overheat?
A reasonable theory, but...
The slide should never have been necessary. It was on Nido's HR. The umps blew the call initially, and then corrected it.
That's so Mets.
This nerd group is doubling down on trying to show how smart they really are by running out a sh*tty lineup. This is to show everyone the team is crap without their brains.
Let's go bench!!!
McKinney, Peraza and Villar with RBIs tonight. Mark it down.
There's literally no one else left to play. Sandy did create some depth for the team but it's been washed away two fold. Hard to blame them for the mess we're in right now. Lindor aside and that's on him.
Team is soft. If you asked me if they were pro baseball players, I would say no. They work for Mister Softee. 😂

Even a hurt Dom is better than a rental player. Any minor bump gets you a stay on the 60 day IL or at least a spot on the bench for a day or two before you go on the 10 day IL.
That's easy to say now. What if he further injures himself playing hurt, and goes on the 10 or 60 day IL? Then we will have a cadre of screaming fans saying it was stupid to play him.
Calling it right now. Cameron Maybin gets off the schneid tonight with a long HR. And when I say long, I mean 430+ feet.
If you can find a book who takes prop bets on Maybin homering tonight, jump on it with both feet.*
* Sorry, no refunds.

I've never seen a team experience large numbers of injuries from what appear to be minor situations when they occurred. Either the players are not training properly (soft tissue-Conforto & Nimmo), or the medical staff is questionable in first treating Alonso and Davis' bruises. I've experienced several of the same injuries and never been down as long as some of these guys. I think part of the problem is that the medical staff, under management guidance, is being overly cautious. It appears playing it safe has only made things worse. Anyway, fans are already crying about players missing games for a boo-boo on the knee.
Only a met could get injured getting thrown out at home on a home run. Actually surprised he doesn’t have a compound fracture. That will probably show up when he comes back in a couple weeks.
Seriously wondering if anyone on this team really wants to play. This can’t be real.
I have had similar thoughts. The number of injuries is concerning, especially minor ones. On one of the broadcasts thought I heard the Phillies had a number of players on IL. Saw that Harper went on last night.
For the Mets, did the training and medical staff change with the change of ownership?
he’ll trip over first base and lapse into a coma too.
While the injuries on the Mets are overwhelming, injuries across the league is scary. I have 4 fantasy teams that allow 4 players on IL...in all four, I am trying to carry 6-8 injured as it happens to be a number of top players out. This is both with pitching and hitting.
Will be in Arizona while Mets are in town May 31-June 2. Unfortunately, they have deGrom slated to start on May 30 in Atlanta (seems a long way out from his last start).
Anyway, which seats are best for perhaps getting a close up of some Mets. Box B row 5, next to dugout or Box D, row 2 over the dugout-tickets over Mets dugout right in front of first base:

I'd go Box D row 2. I had similar seats at Citi a few times and watching everyone coming in and out of the dugout was cool. That Box B you might be boxed out from seeing much because of the angle.
When this first news about Callaway came out I couldn't blame the Mets. I had no issues of them missing this. You can read my earlier posts. Today I need to read if the Mets overlooked it.
You told me to stay in my Mets thread, and you would do the same and stay in yours that's my issue. Well, really not an issue, but I figured I'd call you out on statements you make with no thought behind them. Did I miss quote you? I'll allow you to post wherever you want,👌
I remembered that Callaway had issues in Cleveland which
1: Looks like Cleveland covered up his shenanigans before the Mets hired him,
2: If potential new bosses can easily find info on either of us getting parking tickets in 1997 or if we did anything on Callaway’s aledged level, I’m sure the Mets (and Angels) and their resources can find out through the grapevine that Callaway had some issues here and there.
Hell, it looks like Alex Cora and Carlos Beltran got fired for way less...
New details emerge about suspended Angels pitching coach Mickey Callaway's behavior
Mickey Callaway says he had consensual extramarital affairs, according to a report by the Athletic that details how the Cleveland Indians were informed.
