Impressed by both our starting O and D last night. Jones to Waller ( and Hyatt ) is going to be fun this year.

We looked sharp , well organised and ready ( unlike in previous preseason games under Judge , Shurmur and McAdoo where we looked truly awful )

I think we will hit week 1 in full stride this season 

Go Blue

Mets get no love here

Thankfully I stopped watching on Aug 1st. That DH was an embarrassment by the sound of it last night v the Braves

What a terrible lost season it has been . Perhaps the worst i have seen after so much expectation and investment ever.

Good to see Pete with his 2 homers and 6 RBI's last night. Hope the team retains its self respect into Sept ........but it is painful to watch

Go Mets in 24/25

I am starting to be more open into trading Alonso. They need starting pitching desperately. 

no way JR

Pete , Lindor , Nimmo , Alvarez , Jeff ...all MUST stay IMO

Mets traded Scherzer and eating $35m to the Texas Rangers for Luisangel Acuña. No idea who this guy is. 

 

younger brother of Ronald Acuna ...a prized prospect

I’m delighted. Daboll’s whole Offense needs him. Thank goodness. He might be the difference between 11-6 and 6-11 next season to be honest.

Go Blue

If we can somehow get back to above .500 before the end of July …… then get some pitching help before the trade deadline I think we might rally in Aug and Sept to something like 90-72 which might be enough for a Wildcard ……. But we need to start winning NOW FFS

( ps …bloody well need Pete back soon ! )

Jeez …… it’s tough being a Mets fan right now , these last few games have been brutal

This is just a brutal slump ..........hard to watch . The loyal Mets fans deserve  better.

Still time to turn the season around and hope for a Wildcard but time is running out ( and its only May )

Good win for Man Utd today Boo ( looking good for 4th now )

Liverpool in another crazy 4-3 game ( poor old Spurs eh ! )

well done QPR for surviving !

Man City just unstoppable. I feel bad for Arsenal really

What a fantastic draft so far.

3 players in the top 45 of Kiper’s big board. 

great work by the FO

Happy with the pick at 24.

we seriously needed a DB.

presumably we go WR tomorrow ?

Brutal 10-0 and 9-0

we need to get back home quick

fuck it …… it’s only baseball ( 156 games to go )

Based on what?

We currently have no OL (outside Thomas), no LBs, no starting #2 CB, no starting FS, one health WR, and we just blew our entire offseason cap space on DJ and Barkley.

Sounds like a familiar scenario under Gettleman.

I'm once again going to make a reckless prediction. Shoen's going to be done within three years

DJ’s first year cap hit will be around 19M ( not the 32.4 M franchise tag ) therefore the FO has room and flexibility in FA to bring in some of the players we need

4 minutes ago, mastershake said:

Like what? We still don't have a competent OL, and we currently have one healthy WR on the team who's probably better as a WR #3, not to mention no linebackers (like under Gettleman)

Maybe you should apply to be the next GM Mastershake. ?

I have some confidence in our FO , you clearly do not

5 minutes ago, mastershake said:

So in other words, trust the team to the QB + Barkley, no offensive line, and no defense? The Gettleman formula?

No , I just really like what I have seen so far from Joe Schoen and his team and I am confident that they know more than the bloody fans do

Congrats Uk.  A combination of ineptness from us and execution from Liverpool. Hard to say 7-0 isn't fair.

I really don’t know what to say Boo ……. Wasn’t expecting that after recent weeks but it was an incredible performance. Every goal was sublime

We need to trust this FO . They have earned the right to some trust from the fans IMO after the debacle of Gettleman and the last few years of Reese

Im just glad they got it done so that we could keep SB and DJ together.

if he plays brilliantly he deserves the incentives and we will all be happy

well said VG

if Jones is refusing a long term contract worth $38 M per year for 4 years ....then fuck him  ( go with TT for a year and draft a QB )

If Jones agrees it then great ......then we can franchise tag #26 and still have some money left over.

well at least we beat Everton last night ..........that still matters to every Liverpool supporter

all credit to Man U and Erik ten Hag ......what a fantastic turnaround and you deserve to be 3rd right now Boo

Friends invited me out, couldn't do it.

Stayed home, drank a bunch of beer and screamed my head off.

Best feeling ever. 

agreed best feeling ever ( other than the birth of my 3 daughters )

I was working, watched it all on a tiny portable tv my coworkers boyfriend brought in, and she did all the work that night so I could watch the game. 
 

I got off work at 11. Walked to the bar next door, ordered a beer and put we are the champions on the juke box like 10 times, finished my beer and went home and couldn’t sleep. 

i couldn't sleep either ...........i was jet lagged so my body clock was totally fucked up by 8 hours .......just drank whisky until breakfast
