SinceThe70s Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 In all likelihood (but conceding nothing) this season is already over for the Mutts. So why is it that I've been dying to see the team play since Sunday night? Lets Go Mets! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a nice 4-day not losing streak, but I'm ready for some ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Even in this lost season. I thoroughly enjoy beating the Yankees and Nats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 I figured they would be lucky to win one game this series. Until the final out I was still skeptical. Was thinking about Luis Castillo when Gardener came to bat. Pleasant evening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 After being held out of a save situation, looks like Jeurys may be the first to go. Rumors are it's to the A's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Damn! Though can’t say I’m surprised. It just would have been nice to steal a game we had no business winning. How many times are we on the other end of it Edited July 21, 2018 by Another Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with everything he says and this trade just goes to show how bad they are as owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing of Keith Law, but using the Familia trade as fodder to compare the Wilpons to McCourt is utterly ridiculous. Nobody in the mainstream media thought Familia would bring back much of a return. Now that it didn't (assuming you believe that) MLB should take the team away from the owners? Or is his point that the Wilpons/Mets are nearing bankruptcy and that had something to do with the deal? Keith Law is the one who should be embarrassed. BTW: I agree that the Wilpons are cheap owners and a bad fit for a big market team. But how that intersects with the Familia trade is beyond me.

The hitting coach mouths off to the ump and the manager should get himself tossed? Seemed like the umps were a bit trigger happy today. My assumption is the Mets were chirping a lot last night and today. Two different umps tossed guys today. I wonder if the third base ump was behind the plate last night.

The call on Reyes was horrible..low and off the plate.Callaway should have been on that from the second Roessler opened up his mouth.It's the blind leading the blind in that dugout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be a stressful job with a short shelf life, but that’s why they get paid the big bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a strong opinion on the Familia trade and I hope it turns out well, but it looks like what they did attempted to serve different masters: Wilpons: not eating any of Familia's contract Minaya: adding international signing pool money Not sure who part I: adding a pitcher who is near major league ready Not sure who part II: adding a development prospect.
