    How do you feel about no games this weekend UK?. I see other sports like cricket are going ahead.

    to be honest Boo i dont mind a weekend off for British sports ......the death of HM The Queen is such a big thing in the UK it is not a bad idea for people to just stop and reflect for a couple of days.

    Most people i have spoken to are back to work as normal on Monday ( and then we have a National bank holiday for the funeral on Mon 19th )

    I will just watch the Mets , Giants and The US Open tennis instead !

    75% of people agree with the cancellations over here , 25% are pissed off .....i dont really mind either way

    PS .....thinking of you guys on the 21st anniversary of 9/11 too

  2. my head says 5-12 .......my heart says 7-10

    anything is surely better than that Judge and Gettleman disaster that limped off the field in such an embarrassing way last year .

    maybe we will be pleasantly surprised but i don't think my expectations have been this low for 40 years

    UK, you may get a laugh out of this, but my son bought me a Cameo video from Alex Stepney for my birthday. And it was delivered 4 days after it!.

    Good old Alex, decent bloke.

     

    Stepney is an all time great ……that 1968 European Cup Final was the year before I was born but he has been a United hero ever since

  4. Decent performance , i was pleasantly surprised.
    We ran the ball well , the O line held up pretty well , Saquon looked sharp. Johnson very good .Golladay is a waste of space. Jones ok ish.
    The team looks well managed.

  5. What a great 🧹 of the Doubleheader.
    Max was immense. Just love his maturity and intelligence.
    Mets O showing some great hussle and tenacity.
    deGrom v Strider should be fun tonight.
    Go Mets ( 30 games above .500 on Aug 6th )

  6. Really impressive O last night from the new guys Naquin and The Rhino.
    2 homers on your home debut is really something against Kyle Wright too
    The only weak link at the moment in this side appears to be catcher ( i think Nido is better than McCann right now )
    I thought Cookie pitched well up until the 5th . We kept Swanson Olsen and Riley at bay throughout which will be key to winning this series.
    Pete is immense as usual ( and Lindor with 2 really valuable walks last night showing great patience )
    Will be interesting to see how Seth and May hold up in he next 4 games because that could be critical late in games
    Diaz heroic for the last 6 outs ........we will need that in the playoffs for sure some day soon.
    Go Mets ( lets grow the 4.5 game lead if we can )

    Been reading great news from training camp for years that doesn't show up on gameday.  I'm skipping camp to see what they put on the field on 9/11 in Tennessee against the Titans.

    i know exactly what you mean Tempest .......just hoping for no major injuries during camp ( and might watch the first Q of a preseason game )

    Anyway ......much better watching the Mets at the moment !

  8. What a performance by Max , he’s worth every single penny. Those 3 K’s of Judge at critical moments with risp were fantastic to watch.

    Seth did well after the debacle from Peterson and how about the walk off win in the 9th. Brilliant stuff from Escobar and Marte.

    Sensational atmosphere in Queens.

    Go Mets !

    Nice win against the Braves last night...    would be really nice to walk out of Atlanta wiht  sweep.     Sherser did look like whatever injury he had is in the past.

     

    Hopefully we see deGrom back in Queens soon...     its too bad he is going to pitch in Syracuse this week,  I was up near there last week and would have loved to have gotten to see him in person.

    Very impressive performance from Scherzer. 7 innings , 9 K’s and complete control. Fried looked badly out of sorts and we should have scored more ( especially with all those lead off men on base and countless walks )

    Glad that we got that insurance homer from Guillorme. Diaz spectacular again in the 9th with 11 pitches and 3K’s ( deserving of his All Star selection )

    Go Mets ( would be delighted to get 2 out of 3 against Atlanta )

     

  10. Well that was a clutch comeback win for the Mets v Reds

    i thought we were doomed to a terrible , series loss until the top of the 9th and that amazing 10th.

    Well done to Medina and the rest of the bullpen after that shaky start by Peterson.

    Nimmo !!!!!

    Go Mets 51-31 ( 20 games above .500 aint bad )
