His OF was Benny Agbayani, Jay Payton, and Derek Bell in the 2000 season when he took them to the WS. I always thought we were the better team that year but I was also 13 and being unmercifully tortured by the Yankees fans in my school. Bobby V's all time record with the Mets.

It sure would be interesting to see how he would adapt to today's game....shifts,pitchers hitting 8th,starters throwing less,fewer stolen base attempts..etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Dicomo tweet something out earlier that all he has been doing is physical therapy nothing else. I totally forgot he’s on the team. Also, why are they using this kid Oswalt when Lugo is in the pen doing nothing? I know they want him in the pen but don’t you think if you need an emergency start you’d use him, hes on 4 days rest as of today. The level stupidity of this organization from top to bottom is comical at this point. We are 5-21 in our last 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made a hundred head-scratching moves from day one. The first 12 games were a fluke. He is a horrible manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the statistic they flashed it was the Mets worst June in franchise history and their third worst month record wise in franchise history. Crazy to think they never even had this bad a month in the inaugural season. I have to wonder if Mickey actually wants to be fired. I know there's an image he has to project of having things in control but he seems genuinely unaffected/unstressed by all this. Well at least to me. All he really says is we'll climb out of this or we'll keep fighting. I mean wasn't a big fan of but Willie Randolph always seemed to me to be super stressed even when the team was winning.

Keith/Gary/Ron have been subtly blasting Callaway for days. No one respects the guy; especially the players. Frazier making a baserunning error? Really???

At this point in time, I really hope we keep Matz, Thor, deGrom and Wheeler; along with Lugo and Gsellman. As far as position players, other than Rosario, Nimmo and Flores, the rest of the team can go suck it, for all I care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two errors to Cab and Matz were nothing to write home about...Cab got in front of a scorcher-one hop..it went high and the ball hit his upper chest.The Matz E was actually a perfect bunt.Gug...I need to be honest with you..I really think both Wheeler and Wilmer are as good as gone,Gsellman and Lugo should be darn near untouchable at the stage of the direction we are heading into. Also...I would get sick to my stomach if I hear Nimm's being named as a piece in a trade...he is pure "future"..something that we truly need.The deGrom talk is just that....talk. Peace.

Captain Murica Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) I keep forgetting cespedes is on the team. You’d think one of the highest paid athletes in baseball would have spoken to the media by now. It’s really sad how this has all turned out. I’m going the game on Friday. It’ll probably be my last of the year. In 2015 & 2016 I went to 20+ games those years. How the times have changed.

They shouldn't feel any sort of hope. The Mets lead the entire MLB in losses by the bullpen with 22. When facing the Mets you just have to wait out our starters and the bullpen will do it's magic.
