  1. The Mets tried to blow the game last night... That 7th inning was rough as fuck to watch. That Joey Votto for the Reds is a real hitter, I would take that dude in our lineup in a heart beat.

     

    This McNeil kid we called up is looking pretty good, except for that scrappy fucking beard he is rocking. Have to assume his production will go down as pitchers start to build up a game plan against him, but I think some work with major league batting coaches he should be able to turn into a decent player. Wilmer had a great game for his birthday too... 3 for 4 with 2 RBI and run scored.

    The Mets need to get said major league hitting coaches first.

  2. But you went in a different direction to Guy.

    I think they might. You’re gonna keep thos aces, you have to fill up a roster. They’ll have the same problem attracting sluggers the Giants do. Pitchers Park. So 10 years 380 million may get him to forget that.

    I replied to Guy in that way because of the direction he went. I replied to you in the direction you were heading. As I said, I got a ketchup packet waiting if they make a legit offer. And not one of these offers the Mets are known for just to say we tried.

  3. My topic was not about a big signing being a bust- thats a given with the Mets. But about their willingness to make the big signing. Beltran is a very good example.

    That willingness you speak of isn’t there anymore and hasn’t been for a while which is why I said them even taking harper out for coffee is a long shot.

  4. Carlos Delgado and Beltran

    Cliff floyyd

    Pedro Martinez

    Traded for and extended Johan Santana

    K rod

    Mike hampton...though he went to Colorado because of the schools

    Delgado signing gets a C+. He was getable because of his anti-National Anthem issues

    Cliff Floydd was a solid signing but nothing close to blockbuster

    Santana would have been a great get but the Mets blew his arm out

    KRod lasted 1 season and was nothing close to what they paid for him

    Pedro was on his last legs, over paid/ too many years and only had 1 good season. Just like Glavine and Hershiser.

    Mike Hampton was a good for 1 year.

    Beltran was a great pick up but the guy couldnt play with a hang nail.

    Eddie Murray was a head case.

     

    The last great trade and eventual signing was Piazza(an argument can also be made for Ventura).For the very few people the Mets got better with theres all the Mo Vaugns, Roberto Alomars, Bobby Bonillas, Ricky Hendersons, Vince Colemans, Brett Saberhagens, Yoenis Cespedses and countless others that were a frigging joke.

     

    Think of all the pitchers that went on to be superstars/winners after leaving the Mets or before getting to The Mets.

  5. i dont know how long youve been a Mets fan but theyve taken huge contracts in the past.

    Not since Piazza. You can argue that Cespedes was a big contract signing but he was a cast off from other teams. The guy doesn't care. The Wilpons are an embarrassment and the club is a laughing stock. Almost everything they do blows up in their face.
