[Headache in a Suitcase]

after last night's loss the 2018 mets are the fastest team in MLB history to go from 10 games over .500 to 10 games under .500

History is history man

The judges would also have accepted #LOSERus.

Get well soon, Sandy.


Now with Sandy out, the Mets now have 3 "GMs". Oh boy. Waiting for the New York Post headline: 3 Blind Mice.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I wish Sandy nothing but the best for a speedy recovery.

I wish Fred and Jeff nothing but the worst.

 

[LemonMelon]

Best of luck to Sandy. I hope the treatment goes well.

Peefer's hero calls it a career at the end of the 2018 season.

 

[LemonMelon]

I got to see him play in person the past couple years, so that's cool. He had a great career.

Utley is Buttley

it's always fun to reminisce about the time the mets were winning the NL east by seven games with only 17 left to play and still managed to choke it away.

7.5

 

[Hewson]

Sounds like Machado is going to the Dodgers

 

[PhilsFan]

If he signs a long term deal in LA, the Phillies might end up offering Bryce Harper $500 million.

The fact that Josh Hader's super offensive tweets were discovered mid-All Star Game is absolutely the funniest thing ever

 

[MrPryck2U]

With the news of Machado going to the Dodgers, if I were an Orioles fan, I'd be pissed. The Orioles don't give a fuck about winning a championship ever again. Machado is a player you keep forever and build a franchise around. He's a player who puts asses in seats and eyeballs on tv's. But, you trade him for a bunch of guys. What if one of those guys becomes a superstar like Machado. Do you trade him before he becomes a free agent so you don't have to pay him? The cycle continues. Meanwhile, so does the losing. Buck Showalter is a great manager, but its been tough for him to turn chicken shit into chicken salad.


I'm relieved the Yankees didn't get Machado. Yes, he's a great player, but Didi is doing a fine job for the Yankees at SS. Plus, he's a lot more cost efficient, especially considering Machado could fetch 30 mil annually as a free agent after the season. The Yankees know they need another Starting Pitcher. That should be their primary focus.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

How hard is it for a professional athlete and/or agent to go back and scrub the tweets you sent from when you were a stupid 15 year old?

How on Earth does this keep happening?

This is not an excuse or condoning teen boys who say stupid shit and later turn into professional athletes... but jeez. Come on already.

 

[lazarus]

How 'bout those Mets!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

You mean the AAA franchise in Queens owned by an incompetent ass who MLB should force to sell the team but won't because he's boys with the former commissioner?

Never heard of them.

 

[lazarus]

Cole Hamels lookin' gooooood tonight.

They really don't even need a healthy/good Yu Darvish at this point.

 

[DaveC]

maikel franco is so hot right now he would literally be on fire if he were made of more combustible material.

 

[phanan]

Go Red Sox.

[the tourist]

Unless Felix gets the Tommy John surgery it’s been implied that he’s needed since the end of 2015, his career in Seattle has got to just about be over.

 

[Hewson]

Well if he gets the surgery, the club gets to exercise a $1 Million option for 2020, good insurance for the Mariners.
But yeah he is no longer King.

If the reports of his needing of Tommy John surgery are correct, and he hasn't gotten it, that makes me like him less as a person because it would mean that he's avoiding it so that the $1m clause doesn't go into effect.

Ever think maybe he's avoiding it so that he can continue to pitch for his team? If he gets the surgery, he'll be out of action for at least a season.

 

[the tourist]

Maybe. But the results have shown him to be roughly replacement level for three consecutive seasons. So... no big loss.

Well, as a result of Felix's health issues, his performance has certainly declined over the last few years. It's a shame. But, if surgery is needed, they should just shut him down for the season. I don't think he's putting it off to screw the Mariners, though. I think it's pride thing.

 

[lazarus]

Gotta love that Bote walk-off Grand Slam from last night.

Well, everyone but El Mel.

 

[LemonMelon]

Just another day in a terribly disappointing season by a perennially disappointing team.
