Wow, yes I know where their at payroll wise, just funny how it used to be,"don't you wish your owners spent that"?Very protective now that your not at or near the top.. You will be by the summer when you need that extra, and my statement will be true.
The Braves are improved from an offensive standpoint but their starting pitching is an absolute joke. Their "ace," Julio Teheran, was throwing 86 mph fastballs on Friday night and they really don't have any other consistent starters. Their bullpen is also bad. I would take the Phillies more seriously mainly because they now have an actual ace in Arrieta.
it appears to suck less than last year.
Harvey is a cancer, and should be let go, but the Mets have no leadership willing to pay someone for nothing. It's easy being a Yankee fan,you've been spoiled by owners that will do anything to win.This is why,speaking for myself, and I'm sure most Mets fans, we tend to go over the top when our team has success.
And it looks like us Mets fans are about to get hit in the face by a bus. Unfortunate but not surprised.
Never good form if your laughing about the deGrom injury. Karma is a powerful weapon,and the Yankees are miles away from avoiding the 'epic fail". I know having a better record than the Mets gets your jollies up, but it's hardly the bar being set high,lol.
Dude, from 10-2 to the season being over in what, 3 weeks? I almost feel bad for Mets fans.....almost.
I'm not laughing at the deGrom injury. I'm laughing at the Mets fans who were celebrating a World Series win in early April...when it was clear to everybody else that they had a ton of weaknesses. It's a long season. Perhaps the Mets will right the ship. Perhaps Harvey will find the fountain of youth. And Reyes as well. And David Wright will return and lead the Mets to the promised land.
I couldn't resist and went to the Mets thread to gloat. They cried and my ability to post in that thread was taken away.
So I'm confused,one minute your crowing about this team "only" has the 7th highest payroll, and in the next breath your stating Yankee fans don't care how much they spend and hate that even enters the conversation.Buy summer when they spend like drunken sailors for the pieces they need, we'll see how far off the top spending payrolls they are, but I forgot, you don't care except for when it suits your argument.
Another one crying when in fact he's not banned. I guess you d-bags wear that as some sort of badge of honor.
I said that my ability to post in the Mets thread was taken away. It has.
Agree, I got banned from their little safe space without breaking a single site rule. Complete joke. Anyway, the Mets got completely exposed this week. Love watching them fail!
I'm guessing you guys are even bigger dicks than I thought. Mets fans don't usually get banned because they have a little,very little class at times,lol, but it seems way more than you guys!!!!
I like how you call us "dicks" and then go on to talk about having class. LOL. Tough times in Flushing.
Call them the way I see them. I didn't say I had a lot of class, just miles more than you guys.[cheers]:cool2::flush:
Yes, Mets fans are known for their class. They gave standing ovations to Jose Reyes and Jeurys Familia after their respective returns from suspensions for domestic violence. Nice!
Same way Yankee fans have standing ovations to Alroldis Chapman.
Another day another tank for our local JV team. Looking forward to Vargas' next start!
After tomorrow the Mets head to Cincinnati. If they can't beat that team...they're done.
Mets already done unless they get some players that they cant afford because they have no prospects good enough to come up and take over for Reyes, Lobaton, Gonzalez. They are in worse trouble than I thought if Rosario, Nido, Smith Cecchini were supposed to be THOSE younglings that compares to Acuna, Andujar, Torres, anyone else from the Braves.
Mets farm system is ranked second to last in MLB. Only the Royals are worse, but they have a recent championship:
