The Hoop has been having tech issues most of the day on this site.

At least one bright spot for the Mets this year.

At least one bright spot for the Mets this year.

Yep....and Jeff McNeil is legit too... he has a real decent shot at winning the NL batting title.

The 2nd half is gonna be interesting to see whatever moves the front office decides to make. Moving forward, there definitely needs to be some changes, but hopefully none too drastic. Bullpen is in dire need of an overhaul that's for damn sure.

Pete Alonso stole the show in a Home Run Derby for the ages

It's bad enough the useless Cano is still in the lineup...but now Vargas wants to lessen his already minimal trade value by crapping the bed.

Mets had a 2-0 lead in the 3rd..but it easily could've/should've been more. And of course, Mets pitchers suck at sac bunting fundamentals...and at throwing a shutdown inning on any given day or night.

Miami puts 4 runs on the board in the bottom 3rd.
Vargas gave up b2b 2 out HR.
(the 1st was a 3 run blast by Granderson)

4-2 Fish after 3.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Vargas is pretty bad but unfortunately well probably be stuck with him...or be forced to release him and get nothing in return.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

This could be the series that determines Callaway's immediate future with the Mets.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets lost 8-4. Geeez.
What an absolute BS way to start the 2nd half.

Fire Callaway
Dump Cano.
Trade for a big league BP.

Sheeeeesh.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ridiculous & redundant....


Vargas thrown off course by pickoff tries

Grandy waits ... waits ... waits ... then boom!

Van Wagenen: 'We have a core going forward'
