World Series or Bust! with the Coke Party Patrol: 2016 New York Mets

nothing's coming easy these days

only two games behind the yankees!

one behind the lowly Pirates

sad zing

In nine no-decisions this season, deGrom has a 1.92 ERA. Six times he has allowed no more than one run and failed to get a win. Familia has squandered three ninth-inning leads for deGrom, who has held the opposition to one run or fewer in each of his past four starts (0.65 ERA) and owns a 1.56 ERA since the All-Star break.

Matz no-hitter through 7 so far

consecutive wins!

as u know mook, desperate times call for desperate zings

It would be a good time for the Mets to get on a roll. One good week and they would be back in the wild card mix.

Someone has to take out the Cardinals, those clowns neeed out of the playoffs.

Don't think Pittsburgh has the pitching depth and losing Stanton has got to hobble the Marlins.

ROOOZHEEEEAHHHHHNOOOO

Matz being skipped tonight w/ 'shoulder discomfort' :/

lmao keith is bitching abt the amt of social security he will be getting

too much?

lol nope

matz dl'd, retroactive to 8/15

tough break for gsellman

nice easy way to break in a rookie

gsellman, wasn't that Olivier's name in Marathon Man?

these aren't the Mets

this is not jaime garcia

btw re reacquiring Niese, i think Alderson's undisclosed type of cancer is BRAIN

(i have cancer, i can make jokes like that)

very sorry to hear that Morbius, hope everything works out for you and yours...

who the fuck is giselle man

gazelle, man

Wilmer and de Aza comin' thru

cautiously optimistic

goofy third base tags

de aza!!

typically they may end up taking the 2 games with the 'bad' matchups

wilmer!!

Colon with 2 hits, 2 away from the cycle

i feel like the true colon cycle (ew sorry) has to include a walk instead of a HR

walk, hit by pitch, single, reached on error

catcher's interference

Struck out, but reached on the wild pitch

pitch-clock failure (wait for it)

ok guys save some for tomorrow

of course after i bought tix for tonight's scheduled Jose-deGrom matchup, the Mets decided to skip Jake to cure his recent suckiness

Cespedes, Cabrera, Walker all doubtful for lineup

so it shd be a good night for j0rdan

Ichiro batting 6th tho

TJ Rivera sent down, probly for a few days

Cespedes and Reyes doing it all

that was El Talento's 43rd Met HR in his 159th game for them

Matz stays on the DL :/

Rubin:

Terry Collins says the reports are there is no real structural damage with Steven Matz. The concern is about stiffness/tightness in Matz's shoulder, which returned during one toss whole throwing on flat ground Monday. Matz immediately was shut down.... Jacob deGrom moves up a day.

Collins confirms Michael Conforto will join the team when the roster expands Thursday. Conforto will be "in the mix" for playing time, although Collins could not define what that means.

ReplaceMets had to win 3 of 4 in this series to renew my faith, so not lookin bad

Won 8 out of the last 10

Granderson had a terrible May and an even worse August, but has been around his career numbers the other 3 months. Here's hoping for September, or just a good-spots role in the 5-man outfield.

Rubin:

"Neil Walker has a herniated disk that is causing limited weakness in a foot -- similar to in 2012 with the Pirates. The initial medical opinion suggested he can play through the issue, but a second opinion is being sought to ease Walker's mind. Sandy Alderson said any report of Walker's issue being career-threatening would be inaccurate, and the Mets believe he could be back in the lineup shortly."

NEW YORK -- Will a little extra rest solve Jacob deGrom's recent struggles?

“We’ll find out,” New York Mets manager Terry Collins said. “I don’t have an answer for that. If I did, I’d leave this job and go be somewhere else.”

DeGrom, who was skipped Monday because Mets officials suspected he was suffering from arm fatigue, opposes Miami Marlins right-hander Jose Urena in Thursday’s 7:10 p.m. ET series finale at Citi Field as the Mets aim for a four-game sweep. DeGrom has allowed 13 runs and 25 hits in 9 2/3 innings over his past two starts.

SNY just showed Jacob deGrom calling trainer Ray Ramirez to follow him into the clubhouse. The 2016 #Mets are a horror show.

deGrom "fine," get off the ledge (for now)

Mets Show Some Range With Music Playlists That Mix and Match
