NY Mets...September 2017

My bad.

Yeah I know I goofed by putting the recent Astros' series in the August thread...not that it really mattered anyhow...but just in case you missed it...

Springer's HR keys Astros win in return home

Astros use big 6th for 4-1 win, sweep Mets in doubleheader

Maybin's 3-run homer leads Astros over Mets 8-6

 

Okay here we go...now we're back to a "clean slate"....in theory at least...


Phil. Phillies @ NY Mets ...Sept. 4-6

Mets, riding four-game skid, host Phillies

 

Geez, Captain............it really might be time to consider hanging it up.

Mets' Wright to undergo shoulder surgery

New York Mets third baseman David Wright, who has not played in over 15 months while recovering from neck surgery, will undergo another operation Tuesday to repair his rotator cuff in his right shoulder.

The Mets announced the latest surgery for Wright on Monday, one week after the veteran's minor league rehab assignment was shut down.

Wright, 34, has not played in a game in the majors since May 27, 2016. The Mets captain has spent this entire season attempting to come back from neck surgery for a cervical disk herniation.

A seven-time All-Star, Wright has appeared in a total of just 75 games since the start of the 2015 season. He has three years and $47 million remaining on the eight-year, $138 million deal he signed in 2012.

The Mets also shared other medical updates on Monday. Outfielder Michael Conforto will undergo shoulder surgery this week. Infielder T.J. Rivera will have Tommy John surgery this week. Pitcher Josh Edgin will undergo knee surgery Tuesday. Infielder Wilmer Flores broke his nose Saturday night and will be evaluated Tuesday. Infielder Amed Rosario sustained a finger contusion Saturday and is day to day.

 

Here's a lofty new goal for our beloved Amazin's in September.

Minimum 5 more wins. Please!

With their current record at a horrible 58-78 and with only 26 games to go in this dismal injury hexed season...just winning 5 more would prevent them from losing an embarrassing 100 games for the 7th time in their history.
1993 was the last time they lost 100 or more (103).
Prior to that the other 5 were in the 1960's. (1962-65 + '67)

Good Luck.

 

Mets win 11-7
Magic number down to 4 (to finish the season with less than 100 losses.) see above ^
Yes it's that bad, and and yes it's come to that.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets - Box Score - September 04, 2017 - ESPN

 

Good grief....WTF is up with deGrom lately??
Phils lead 6-1 in the 4th...and he's already near 90 pitches.
Mets defense hasn't helped today either...Ughhh.

* Aaannd his night is now done.

Smoker coming in to finish the 4th, but he gives up a 2 out bases loaded double, to make it a 9-1 game....

 

End this season now

 

Talk about taking one on the chin...can it get much worse?

Lively homers off deGrom, pitches Phillies past Mets 9-1

Magic number still sitting at 4, with 24 games to go.

 

Never say "it can't get worse..." If any team can find a way to sink lower, it's the Mets

 

Harvey scratched from tonight's scheduled rubber game...due to "weather".

Mets scratch Harvey from start vs. Phillies

 

What, is he hungover again??

Craig Carton didn't make it to work this morning because, as Boomer Esiason said, he was "under the weather." Turns out he was actually picked up by the FBI

 

lol...is that true??

Maybe Carton is a tRumpbot.

 

Good article on the state of the metsies....

Does latest Matt Harvey mishandling mean his days with Mets are numbered?


and this from a different article:

 

He was running a ponzi scheme to try to cover his gambling debts.

 

Sheeeesh..... was Francesa one of his victims?..or Boomer??

 

Rain delay in the bottom of the 6th....Mets leading 6-3 w/ 1 on & 1 out.

Umps should just call this thing and make it official.

 

It's stopped raining in my hood

 

are you on L.I. ?

 

Nah, western Queens

 

I think the weather radar shows more heavy showers heading in and lingering over flushing & other areas of queens for the next few hours.

Edit: game just called.

Mets win 6-3.

Magic number now at 3.
