Looks like the mets are just gonna continue sucking as they stumble to the halfway mark.

Time to get rid of Collins, his inept coaching crew...as well as that piss poor medical, strength & conditioning training staff.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yawn....another pathetic lackluster effort by the less than amazinzzzzzzz......

Not sure how they're gonna approach the 2nd half...or who will even be on the roster by August 1st.

One thing is for certain...the ownership and front office is in disarray and need some changes.... yet they still treat it as status quo and business as usual.

Not very tactful or wise as far as an MLB team goes.

Pham, DeJong, Voit homer as Lynn, Cardinals shutout Mets 6-0

Mets planning to sell, barring sudden improvement:

7/15.
New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson is being realistic about the team going into the trade deadline.

Alderson says the Mets will plan to sell going into the deadline unless the team performs "exceedingly well," according to Newsday's Marc Carig.

“This is not a tear-down situation,” Alderson tells Carig. “This is what I believe is a sort of a pause button. We’re going to have a lot of players that are free agents at the end of the year, a lot of payroll that will become available, and so we’re not looking to rebuild.”

Those free agents t0-be include reliever Addison Reed, outfielders Jay Bruceand Curtis Granderson and first baseman Lucas Duda. With the Mets sitting in fourth place in the National League East and 9½ games back of the second wild-card spot, they will likely look to unload some or all of those players while retaining their core of cost-controlled players.

Injuries to the pitching staff contributed to the Mets' slow start and underperformance this season. The team believes that they still have the long-term pieces to contend, but that won't stop the Mets from being active sellers this season.

TC still has his head up his ass. He's gotta go.
In fact, they would have been wise to just severe ties before this season began, or at the minimum, dumped him during the all-star break prior to the start of the 2nd half. Dan Warthen too.
There is just no way they should be allowed to mismanage this team again next year.

DeJong decks Mets again, Wainwright leads Cards to 6-3 win
