We got shit in return for Kimbrel. I'd love to have him back.

It's just a shame that Frank Wren gave BJ Upton that contract. Pairing BJ with Kimbrel was the only way we were gonna be able to move BJ, and it greatly reduced the return we got for Kimbrel.

We were rebuilding and tanking anyways. I know we would have had to have traded Kimbrel. But I wish we would have just bit the bullet and kept BJ. His contract would have been up last year, and we could have got a real haul for Kimbrel.

As far as Harper goes, if we can get him for the right price, I'm all for it, but if he's looking for a 300+ million dollar deal, I'd rather just bring Markakis back on a 2 year deal. He signed on to be a part of the rebuild and he's been a pretty good player for us, and it'd be nice for him to be a part of the team when we're contending again.

I wish Ted Turner would buy back the team. He would spend the money to get these big guys.

Ted Turner selling the team to a media conglomerate in Colorado was the worst moment in franchise history.

We never had the highest payroll under Ted, but we were always around the top 5 and could go out and get the big free agent when we needed it.

We don't win in 95 or win 14 straight division titles if we didn't sign Greg Maddux.

I hate rooting for the Muts.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Muts beating the Fillies 3-2. Odubel made a lacksadasical play that cost them 2 runs.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Muts/Fillies going to extras

 

[Chewbaccer]

Hopefully the Mets can take at least one and the Pirates can beat the Nats.

Phillies have been blowing chances left and right in this game. Fortunately for them they are playing the Muts.

Extra innings. Only chance the Mets have is if they hit a walk off home run this inning. I know it doesn't sound possible, but their bullpen is worse than ours.

METS WIN!!!

They Hit 1.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Well...we are guarateend to still be tied after today....with the same winning % and everythig.

 

[Chewbaccer]

They Hit 1.

Ask and you shall receive. My baseball night is already made. But I love me some gravy.

Whoop their ass again, Mets.

Check out Ian Anderson's week.

Check out Ian Anderson's week.

We've got so much pitching I hope AA holds on to the correct ones.

I really think Touki,Allard, and Wright are gonna be really good.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Good.

I like Dansby. He's great defensively and he might not be the best offensive player out there, but he's clutch at the plate and usually comes through in the big spots, and it won't take 400 million to get him to play here next season.

only 24 too with less than 2 years in the majors, so still a decent chance he becomes more consistent at the plate

I get bummed after each time we lose, but then I remember the future is so bright that in the long run 2018 doesn't matter.

It's July and we still care about the results of the games. That's a big step forward from the last 3 years when we were looking for moral victories and individual players success.

I'm the king of overreaction when live posting a game, but at the end of the day, we're far better than I thought we'd be at this point, and we've done it with one of the worst bullpens in the Majors.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Looks like the Fillies are gonna win Game2....at least the Mets got 1.​

yeah, that's my point. we still care about the results because we are fans, but man, you can really see the future is going to be bright

 

[Chewbaccer]

Just gonna be honest.

I don't like our chances tonight.

Julio has allowed 16 earned runs in his last 13.1 innings pitched against the Blue Jays, and has been terrible against the AL in general the last few years.
