Mets get ROCKED again by the Phillies 7-3. Mets score all their runs on another HR by Buck and two by Duda. This "power source" was completely unexpected, but seems like they only way we can win is with the three run homer.

Mac....wasn't going to gloat....I have no willpower....duly gloating :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

The season is young, but is really starting to show the true colors of our starting rotation. It's great to see Buck and Duda hitting the long ball. Now we just have to get Wright on the same page.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Off day...still 5-3. Another day out of the NL East cellar. :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Fixed. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets beat up on the Twins last night 16-5. Wright, Murphy, and Buck each had 4 RBIs...Buck hit another HR...offensive explosive in the cold!! :wo :wo

6-4!! I thought we'd be where the Marlins are at 1-9.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets beat the twins 4-2 tonight on another gem pitched by Harvey. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets/Twins postponed this afternoon...Nats lose, means we are in 2nd place at 7-4. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

The beginning of the season certainly has been a surprise.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets - Rockies postponed this evening. Matt Harvey was named the National League Player of the Week. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Postponed by a snow storm! Gotta love April. Nice award for Harvey that will hopefully parlay into good mojo for the entire Mets team.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets lose to the Rockies 8-4...Gee gets ROCKED again. 0-3 with an 8.36 ERA.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets drop both games of the doubleheader to the Rockies yesterday. We had game two and blew it...thanks bullpen!! Game one was a different story.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets lose again and are swept for the Rockies. BOOOO!!!!

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

This was certainly not a good series. I blame the cold and snow.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Two of the games we lost from the get go. The other two I blame the bullpen... we had the lead.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Yeah, I know and agree....I was trying to make myself feel better about the state of our pitching staff. Thanks for keeping me grounded.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

The match-up of Harvey vs Strasburg never developed. Mets beats the Nats 7-1. Harvey pitched 7 strong innings and only giving up one run...to improve to 4-0. Can you say R.A. who?? :r :r Davis and Duda...the DD Boys each hit two HRs.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Is there an echo in here? :confused:


;)

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets fight back after being down against the Nats, only to have the bullpen blow it again. We lose 7-6.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

How quickly Met fans forget!
R.A. gave you your first Cy Young winner in nearly 30 years, and a reason to watch a dreadful ball club every five days.
He was there to take the ball and put an end to losing streak after losing streak, and never spent time on the DL.
And when he looked for a contract, he asked for a reasonable amount ( 2 yrs $25 mil) and didn't hold the Met fans or ownership hostage.
To turn your back on a guy, who did nothing but good things for your franchise, makes you just as bad as the Wilpons!! :2

Harvey is a great young pitcher, if he doesn't get hurt, and continues to improve, I'll be very excited when the Yankees sign him as a free agent! :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

How quickly we forget???? I didn't trade him away to Toronto? He's not on our roster this year. He's not going to help us this year. I'm a Mets fan first. Should the Mets have given him the two years at the price he was asking...HELL TO THE YES!! But the Wilpons, NOT Mac didn't allow that. Does that mean I stop cheering for him? Hell no, he was great for the Mets for all the reasons you listed above. And now I can root for him on beating your sorry a$$ Yankees more often. Looks like Harvey is going to be the "shining light" in this season, just as R.A. was for us last year.

How dare you tell me that I'm just as bad as the Wilpons. :su :su :su

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Did I hit a nerve, Fred? I mean Mac. :r:r

Just to throw more fuel on the fire, Omar Minaya was the one who drafted Harvey.
You owe all the joy you get watching this kid, to him.
I think you should write him an apology letter, and post it here! :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets shutout the Nats today 2-0 and win the series. Finally found a way to "simmer" down Harper. He's becoming the Chipper Jones to the Mets...Chipper used to kill us.

And Dom....F**k Omar Minaya!!!

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets come back from being down and Valdespin hits a Grand Slam in the bottom of the 10th to win it for the good guys. Harvey pitched six strong innings, gave up three runs...his highest total all year. Bullpen did a great job last night. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

That certainly was a fun game to watch. That grand slam was pretty sweet. First walk-off grand slam for the Mets since 1991!

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Bullpen blows another one as we lose to the Dodgers 3-2. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

The bullpen gives up another one today as the Phillies beat us 9-4. The downward slide continues. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Phillies continue to hand the Mets their asses.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

This series was not pretty.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

I was busy all weekend....get home late Sunday afternoon....looking for my broom....and.....IT WAS AT CITIZENS BANK BALLPARK...SWEEPING THE METS!





:noon:r:noon:r:noon

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Can't say a word.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Still not as bad as the Marlins! :td

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Not yet...give us two more weeks. :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Your losing streak should end tonight since the Mets are in Miami!

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

I can't believe I almost forgot to post in this thread! Great weekend of baseball!

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Assuming you meant the Mets would WIN more games than the Yanks, as opposed to the alternative assumption that they would WILL more games, then I wish to point out that it is still April, so you have plenty of time to make up what is presently a 5-game deficit. :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

slacker!!

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

WTF was Terry Collins thinking last night?
Allowing Matt Harvey to throw 121 pitches in 5 1/3 innings, in an April game, against the Marlins, is lunacy!!!
I typically think pitchers are babied too much, but you have to try and protect this kid a little.
It's not like he's a seasoned vet, that understands his body, and knows how much he can give you.
You would think Collins would've learned his lesson after the Johan no hitter debacle.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Agreed Dom. It's that whole I don't trust the bullpen at all thing.

Marcum has been nothing but garbage since his arrival to NY.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

6 straight....now this thread is getting interesting....

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Bullpen strikes again!! :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

See....isn't this fun?!?....


:noon:r:noon

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets win 7-6! :noon :wo :noon

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

What? What did you say? I saw this on Yahoo sports, but thought it must be a misprint!


Uh, can it actually BE a misprint, when it ain't actually IN print? :confused:

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

:wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Good news is that they can't lose today!

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

I dunno. If there is any way, they'd be the ones to find it. :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Braves lost in extras to the Mets tonight. Seven more K's. Feast or famine.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Wright hits a HR in the 9th to tie it and we actually win in 10 innings. Bullpen holds on tonight!! :wo :wo
