I think I saw the older version of one of those guys today, he was wearing a jersey with YANKEES SUCK 69 on the back.
Always bring the goddamn sunscreen, even on Sept 25, if you're sitting in (on?) the party deck at Citi.

"The 17-0 final was the most lopsided shutout victory in Mets franchise history, one run shy of their most lopsided win ever (19-1 over the Cubs on May 26, 1964). The loss was the Phillies' largest margin of defeat since a 22-3 loss to the Reds on Sept. 4, 1999, at Veterans Stadium. It was their worst shutout loss since at least 1913."

presuming the Cards (or Giants) keep losing, the crucial thing for the Mets is that they have a spot clinched by Sunday so Thor can start the WC game instead of the season finale in Philly.

Bruce stirring with another HR tonight...
An usher at Citi told a fan on Sunday "He doesn't want to play here -- no one can be that bad for so long." Which is bullshit obviously; good hitters go into multi-week slumps not infrequently.

bruce is not a good hitter tho
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 28 September 2016 00:54 (seven years ago) link
he may not be an upper-tier hitter, but he has been drastically underperforming his established level.
― The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 01:08 (seven years ago) link
i'd call him a good hitter in 2010-13, at least :/
― The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 01:19 (seven years ago) link
I am rooting for him, but he hasn't settled in yet.
With Wilmer Flores shut down, I'm guessing Conforto and TJ Rivera will make a potential post-season roster.

AP:
"If you wake up Sunday morning and say, `OK, we're in', but we don't necessarily have home-field advantage, do we use Syndergaard?" Collins asked. "Or do we say, `He's going to pitch the first playoff game, no matter where it's at?"
If the Mets have clinched home-field advantage, they might start Syndergaard on Sunday and have him throw about 25 pitches to ensure he's sharp for the wild-card playoff game on Wednesday.
"Otherwise he goes eight days without pitching," Collins said.

JR, CT: Hi Keith, would you give the Mets any chance against the Cubs with their rotation in the shape it is now. I imagine best case is the lefty power bats get/stay hot and they can slug their way to some ugly wins?
Klaw: I would never give any team in a playoff series less than 45% odds to win it.

I mean he's just saying "sports are unpredictable over the short-term!" which is true but a) doesn't really need to be said at this point b) doesn't really answer the question
― Immediate Follower (NA), Friday, 30 September 2016 14:37 (seven years ago) link
i would interpret his answer as 'i give them a 45% chance'
it's not a very meaningful question tho

Rubin:
Steven Matz had what was described as a "massive" bone spur removed from his pitching elbow on Tuesday. Team doctor David Altchek performed the procedure at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. Matz also had a platelet-rich-plasma injection in his left shoulder. He had been dealing with an impingement. Matz is expected to be fully recovered for spring training.
