Matt & Jacob & Wheeler & Pray for Noah: The 2015 "Sustainable Model" New York Mets

Mets-enfreude, eh? I'm not sure why 2 WAR is significant... Meant to look up Rusty Staub's pair of deluxe PH years, when he was 40 or so.

I will be in the first row in the LF corner if you wanna look for me on the teevee tonight.

d'Arnaud's HR landed about 7 feet from me, an i did not make a move for it. i see enough doctors.

booo

if only it had been a recker HR

i don't think it wd've had extra ass on it.

Curtis "Walk, Don't Hit" Granderson: .185/.405/.185

all alone in first, campers!

ugh stanton has now homered in 5 str8 games vs the mets, tying hank aarron and ryan howard for that honor

keith hernandez said "colon has that…that….i can't think of the word"

lagares is showing off

COLON SAC FLY

Colon for the Silver Slugger 2015

Stanton can keep homering if it's a solo show

forgot alex torres rocks the padded hat lol

seven straight, harvey tmrw

shit

C D'ARNAUD (FRACTURED RIGHT HAND) LEFT GAME BOT 7TH
RP BLEVINS (FRACTURED LEFT FOREARM) LEFT GAME TOP 7TH

reckin and plaweckin time

3 weeks+ for d'Arnaud

Mets' other 10-3 starts were 1986 and 2006.

Cameron on FG: The Mets haven’t played well enough that we should dramatically alter our expectations of what they’re going to do going forward, but now, .500 ball for 24 weeks gets you an 85 win finish. And while 85 wins probably doesn’t get you the Wild Card, that’s the mean forecast out of a range of expected outcomes, and it doesn’t take very many things going New York’s way before that 85 turns into 88 or 89.

yes

This Braves-Mets series could conceivably be some good baseball.

bobby parnell blew a save for class a st. lucie today; hope someone throws his dinner in the garbage

Dillon Gee has made 48 straight starts of at least five innings dating to May 2013, the longest active streak in the majors. The team record is 50 by Dwight Gooden.

the positive tone crossed w/ a cautiousness bordering on a wait for the other shoe to drop is a clear tend in mets pieces of late

shoes (ie players) are dropping, still winning so far

true, plus most of those injuries don't seem catastrophic

plz don't... classic Mets injury goes from 'day-to-day' in April to the entire year

JM Jr batting first tnite, weather permitting

@AdamRubinESPN
Terry Collins explains leadoff role for John Mayberry Jr. in part by citing 5-for-11, 3 doubles, 1 HR in career vs. Eric Stults.

Fun fact of the day: This year, the Mets will pay Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom a combined $1,171,000. This year, the Mets will pay Bobby Bonilla $1,193,248.

Ha!

That never stops being hilarious.

not to youse jerkz

10

that catch by Lagares!!

attempt the undefeated 10-game homestand today for the first time in their history.

Harvey has an ankle sprain, will not miss his next start. :/

Murphy is just headless in the field some days

11

I know this is all statistical noise so far, but....

Nah this is exciting.

Which is the most hated franchise by Mets fans? Braves, Phillies or Yankees?

not as much reason to hate Atl w/ their autumn chokes and absence of Larry.

So the Phillies then?

we don't hate them now so much as delight in their misery

have the mets and phillies ever been good at the same time?

between th 80s and '06 maybe throw the cardinals in there too

oh yeah major Cards hate '85-89

Mets and Phils weren't good at the same time until the last years of Shea (thx for reminding me)

BACK to the present... did you see Bartolo's 1U pickoff today?

Cubs and Mets used to not like each other at times when they were both in the east. I know they had a couple brawls back in the day. I remember Jody Davis hitting 2 HRs against Doc Gooden in Chicago and then I don't think Doc ever lost to them again.

i love hearing from the Mets booth during interleague, not that I have much of a choice. wonder what the max number of 1986 references they have made in one evening.

prob about as many as john sterling has made to jeter or TEH RINGZ

try sometime when they don't have an 11-gamr streak, skrit u chump

they just segued from Wally Backman to a HoJo rememberance. big anniversary year coming up.

nostalgia's a hell of a drug

'85 was an awesome year even tho they finished 2nd: arrival of Carter, Gooden became king of the world, etc.
