* I saw a funny tweet during yesterday's game....
Someone said The Mets now have the Dark Knight, Capt. America & Thor on their roster....and wondered if they were searching for the Flash or the Hulk.

Lagares = Flash

Duda = Hulk

Lagares = Flash

Duda = Hulk

Totally agree on Lagares = Flash.....but Duda needs to start banging some bombs out of the yard for that moniker to work.
(I know lots of pitchers are working him inside now, but he'll eventually heat up when DW & Td'A get back and
he would also benefit if Cuddyer started hitting like the "professional hitter" he's been known to be.)

Word.

The sitch with Wright is starting to get a little worrisome. Maybe he's got something more than a hammy boo-boo

Well, there it is...

Thank goodness it's still early in the season...hopefully we can get Wright back in the next few weeks and Travis soon after that for the long haul. We just gotta find a way to maintain and stay afloat until then. Actually, all things considered, they've (mets) somewhat exceeded my expectations so far to this point...(defensive lapses notwithstanding)

It would behoove the Metsies to TCOB tonight, as the Nats have already won their game today, and are breathing down our necks, they're now just 2 GB in the division.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ugghhhh
Mets load the bases to start the game, only had 1 out, but couldn't even get 1 run in.......smh



Hope everyone is having a pleasant evening.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sheeeesh.....it looks like it's colder than a late November Bears game in Chicago tonight

Not sure why they couldn't schedule more than just 1 day game for this 4 game series.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

No score after 3......Mets better do something good in these next few innings or I may be forced to opt out of this one in favor of the NBA playoffs again.........lol

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I hope TC gets called out for this BS and goes on the hot seat....until he's dumped, which should be ASAP.

WALLY TIME IS WAAAAAYYYYYY OVERDUE.



I don't even give a crap about tomorrows game...
I'm sure we'll be swept the fuck out of chi town.

New York Mets vs Chicago Cubs - Recap

Hahahahahahaha

I just have to laugh at this clusterfucking disaster or else I'd go nuts.

And I just can't wait to hear Alderson's platitudes...or his reasoning for saying TC's job is still 100% safe & secure.

Everyone is to blame...all of them.... the coaches and the mgr especially.

Now they return home pissed off only to face the worst team in the NL this weekend.

That ought to be entertaining, in a schadenfreude kind of way......
