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!

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.
