New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Another year...and I believe this one's gonna a lot more painful than last year. Minor league outfield (at best) and a completely depleted bullpen...hoping for anything but a last place finish in the NL East. :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Hey, they are tied for 1st place at the moment. What more could you want? :confused:

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

And I'm enjoying it...while I can. :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Pitchers and catchers in 30 days!! This is going to be a loooong season.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Ehh, prolly not, as it will end in June. :r

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

June?? I was thinking more like the beginning of May. :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

It did take until just about the All-Star break for them to completely collapse last season. So, there's that.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

That is true, though they made up for it by making it another EPIC fail.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Is it Met bashing season already? :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

As if you've ever stopped, Dom. :r

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Hopefully the Phils can give your Mets a little more competition this year, horrible year for Philadelphia sports. Thank God I'm an English Football fan, even tho I get my balls busted for liking such a "pansy" sport

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Well you wouldn't get them busted, were those players a bit more willing to get THEIRS busted during a game instead of flopping like 2nd-grade girls. :r

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

As if things weren't going to already be tough...Nats signed Rafael Soriano to a two year deal.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Pitchers and catchers 21days

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

With our pitching staff...they may not show up until June. :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Lol hope they do then

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Hairston signs a two year deal with the Cubs. The reality of that minor league outfield is gonna happen. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

With the current state of our pitching, we're not going to need an outfield anyway. All they'll have to do is stand there, look pretty and watch the ball fly over the fence!

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Couldn't have said it better myself! :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Is it your life goal to bash Mets fans? :)

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

I wasn't bashing the Met fans, I was agreeing with your statement. :)

But quite frankly, the Met outfield is a joke.
Such a joke, that when Sandy Alderson was asked about his outfield, his response was "What outfield?".
I'm sure the fact that the Mets have done nothing to improve their biggest weakness has you angry.
Just don't be angry at me, be angry at Sandy! :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

I'm not angry at you (see the smiley face)! I too think the management is a joke and think the Mets should just sit out this season.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

I'm happy to bring Met fans even more bad news. ;)
Atlanta has just acquired Justin Upton from the Diamondbacks in a 7 player trade.

Since we were talking about outfields, let's look at Atlanta's

BJ Upton, Justin Upton, Jason Heyward
When you compare that to the Met outfield, ouch!

Hell, even the Marlins have Giancarlo Stanton in their outfield!
Mac, grab your glove, you're going in! :r:r

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Braves offense is going to be TOUGH!! And what do the Mets do...they tap free agent Marcum for rotation vacancy. Thanks alot Sandy!! :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

I'm game for joining in the Mets bashing...I mean banter, but can we talk about something other than their outfield? The Phillies outfield isn't a looking a whole lot better.

/threadjack :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets sign Latroy Hawkins to a minor league deal today. Guess it can't hurt the bullpen...another 40 year old veteran. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Woohoo...another youngster!

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

:po

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

I was watching Discovery Channel today 'how to catch a smuggler' and had to think of Mac when one of the custom guys said '90% of the criminals in NYC that wear a cap are wearing a Yankees cap' -(P

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Thought I'd stop by one of my favorite forums...Mets Basher...er Banter....always best to start with a joke...

Q: Why did the Post Office recall their latest stamps?


:D


A: They had pictures of Mets players on them and people couldn't figure out which side to spit on.

;s

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets start spring training off right by beating the Nats, 5-3. Tejeda homers off Strasburg in the first...we'll take wins any way we can get them. :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets tie the Astros today 7-7. Hey, it isn't a loss. :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Still undefeated? :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Ahhhh....the eternal optimism of spring...

:r

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Jinxed us Dom....as we lose to the Nats 6-4 yesterday. We were down 5-1 and made a comeback in the 8th.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets go down to the Marlins 7-5 this afternoon. Mejia gets lit up in his spring training debut...guess he's not making the opening day roster. :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

If I possessed that kind of power, the Mets would go 0 - 162 every year! :D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets pitching staff is showing a preview this afternoon of the upcoming 2013 season. Two no name pitchers (Gorski and Torres) give up four runs each while walking three in two innings of work. This season is gonna be hard to watch. :bh :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

It sure is gonna be a long season.....

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets and the Nats play to a 4-4 tie after 10 innings.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets beat the Tigers today 6-2.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets beat the Marlins today 4-1. Harvey looked good in 4.1 innings. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

That ain't sayin' much!

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

IN RELATED NEWS.....St. Mary's School for the Mentally Gifted grade 6-8 chess team bested St. Luke's in a hotly contested match, 2-nil...Little Mikey McKinley looked like he was in mid-season form...:r

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets win two this weekend and Wright helps USA advance. And for Keith, didn't you attend St. Luke's?

BLOW IT OUT YOUR ***!! :r :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

:D:D

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets beat up on Verlander and the Tigers this afternoon, 11-0. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Sweet!!

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

Mets go down to the Nats today 8-5. Cowgill and Byrd continue to rake this spring training. Possibly pushing Duda out of the picture completely, at least to start the season. Den Dekker's glove is Gold Glove caliber, however, his bat is nowhere near major league ready. Starting outfield may be Byrd, Cowgill, and Valdespin with Baxter thrown i as the fourth.

Re: New York Mets 2013 Banter
 

I'm feeling fairly good about the season, at least there is more to look forward to than last year... Besides it's not the all star break yet..lol
