No we really haven't. We've 'only' blown 16 of 33 So basically 50% save percentage. League average is 66%. If we were just average we'd have 6 more wins and be right in the thick of things. If we were better than average (that's what Diaz was supposed to bring) we'd be feeling pretty good about ourselves. EDIT: looked a little closer at the stats. Mets are 6-7 in games where they have one or more blown saves.

The intentional balk. Up 5-3 with two outs in the top of the 9th and Jason Heyward on second base Kenley Jansen announced to the second base ump that he was going to balk and then did just that. Dodgers didn't want Heyward stealing signs or location from second base. https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/la-sp-dodgers-kenley-jansen-20190615-story.html Ironically, Heyward was at the plate last year when Mets SS Amed Rosario went out of his way to block the runners view of the Mets catcher as he was putting the signs down. https://elitesportsny.com/2018/06/01/new-york-mets-news-jason-heyward-yells-at-amed-rosario-for-sign-block/

If you'll excuse me I'm gonna head over to the TIL thread.

LOL, my bad, sarcasm is a good thing. Perhaps all this losing is making me a bit sensitive. Now can we please get to F**king .500!!!!!!

So now you're saying the Big Bang Theory is a military prank? Fascinating, but do you mean the TV show or the theory of evolution?

Do you seriously think the Mets traded for Pounders because the Yankees traded for Encarnacion? That ranks amongst the stupidest things I have ever heard. Ever. I'm not saying he'll be a saviour - and the stats you posted don''t inspire any confidence - but in spite of your cute little gif he threw a scoreless inning in his Mets debut.

That's awesome! Greatest Met of all time and nobody is even close!

Were you military? I'm not, but decades ago I heard that the toilet swirl was a military prank.

In what world is bibbs spelt wif three Bee's? What if you're in the southern hemisphere?

...and second place isn't even close.

Had a dad Big and strong Turned around Found my daddy gone He was the one Made me what I am today It's up to me now My daddy has gone away...

What makes you think that was zee? Internet posters.../smh

Unless you hate the lyrics to YYZ!

Twenty-four hours a day Hey, why don't you go down to the supermarket? Get something to eat, steal something off the shelves Pass by the liquor store, be back about quarter to twelve Don't wanna be your slave

Toronto is awful? What city isn't? Ol Dirty B is myopic. Either that or he/she enjoys the view up his Ol Dirty B way too much We need a "City You Hate" thread. Or maybe a "City You Hate The Most" thread. Maybe a poll - won't work, too many cities. Maybe a thread to determine which cities are worthy of a "City You Hate Most" poll. Yeah, that's it. Maybe we could do an NCAA style "City You Hate" bracket. In the mean time, congrats on the NBA championship "Toronto is awful" folks! I've only been through the airport, but YYZ rocks!

I'm assuming your facts about home prices and family incomes in San Ysidro are accurate. Do you know what the valedictorians family income is? Do the own or rent? Without that info some of your assertions seem presumptive.

Frustrating beyond belief. The plan looked great: Trade for a young, elite closer....Diaz has been average. Bring back a former closer who has success as a closer for a playoff team....Familia has been consistently craptastic and getting worse with each outing. Sign a lefty specialist...is Justin Wilson in the witness protection program? Push back your closer and 8th inning setup guys to innings 6 and 7...Gsellman has been good on occason, Lugo has been marginally better. IMO, VW did a reasonable job remaking the bullpen but they are flat-out not performing. It's on Mickey and the coaching staff to right the ship, but Lugo looks like the only ray of sunshine right now. At this point I'd like to see Mickey do what he said when he first came in, no set roles. Let Lugo close a game or two. Bring Diaz into the 7th. Could the results be worse than what we've seen?

I'm starting to long for the days when Josh Edgin was an option out of the bullpen.

Are you're suggesting that the valedictorian from San Ysidro and the salutatorian offspring of a TBD poster are both champions of the leader of the free world?

Could Monkey see, Monkey do apply to San Ysidro?

You literally took the words right off of my keyboard with the bolded. Based on the praise she gave to her parents it wouldn't surprise me if they felt the same way. My guess is that her complaints were legit. Where we disagree is I don't have an issue with using the forum she had. It was the spiteful tone I could do without. But she is just a teenager. Nobody's perfect.

Everyone who sees you thinks you should be smiling That girl she's so pretty, that girl she's so beguiling Everyone who sees you thinks you should be happy Thinks you should coo-coo her and start acting all sappy But it's Hard to laugh when you know that she's been cheating Had her Hands around him and she's been giving it a beating We'll it's Hard to laugh when you know that she's been lying But you Got to laugh to prevent yourself from crying
