THE OFFICIAL NEW YORK METS THREAD

[davidtrios]

who the hell is matt harvey and where did he come from?

[Johnny Abruzzo]

This may sound ridiculous, but the Phils scare me worse than any team in the NL East...
Wash has to come back to earth, right? Atlanta will have a serious injury bug coming soon...
Miami is done and selling like fiends
Philly is getting healthy, if they start winning games at home that they should have won earlier in the year, eeek...scary
All that being said - LETS GO METS!!!

The team that should scare you is... the Mets. And their typical collapse which has already started.

It's ok, they weren't expected to do anything. They're not the team with a $180M payroll.

Seriously! He gave us a little glimmer of hope. I had to check several news sources to make sure I was reading the score right...I couldn't believe we won

Ah the life of a tortured Mets fan

You forgot to add:
Set the METS franchise record for strikeouts in a pitching debut (11)
Plus snapped a 6 gm losing streak

I wish they would have brought him up sooner, like the minute Gee was donezo - instead of subjecting us to the ancient and god awful Batista 6 days ago against the Dodgers...

LETS GO METS!!! Gained half a game in the wildcard and our playoff probability went from 5.9% yesterday to 6.5% today!!!
YA GOTTA BELIEVE!!!

[PJFAN13]

Tomorrow we start a new streak...uh...
At least it wasn't the bullpens fault tonight
Not sure Collins has a feel for this team...
11-5 top of the 8th - - c'mon METS!!!
Rally hat on!
(Sorry can't bear to watch Opening Ceremonies)

I wish they would have done so last Saturday when I went to the game. It was a free ticket thankfully but still, I did not see Miguel Batista pitch.

I think he does. This is just reality of the talent gap settling in, though you'd like to see more than five wins in a month.

[Gary Carter]

If fans are drooling Harvey, just wait until Wheeler comes up. Also I don't get why fans are making a big deal outta our pitching prospects considering the last time we had 3 good ones they failed. I don't know maybe its cause I was little and hung my heart on generation k bringing us a championship, but I hope things will be different this time around. Also for the love of god can Jason Bay be traded. It be doing us fans and him a favors by getting him outta here.

AGREED - Bay is having trouble hitting simple ground balls to advance runners - last night Murphy doubles and he pops it up to the catcher!!!! And also had 2 K's... Jeez, I wish he'd get back on the roids or HGH, cause he's been a MAJOR disappointment - hopefully when Baxter comes back he plays more and Bay sits the hell down.

The bullpen is dismal.

Perhaps, but IMO this season he leaves guys in too long (see Niese last night) and went to a shaky Ramirez when Byrdak (who needs to throw)and Rauch were available.

Lets hope Chris Young comes out blazin tonight!
Let's go Mets (playoff hopes went down to 4.1 %)

[PJFAN13]

YA DICKEY!!!
Way to stop the bleedin, my man! Rauch looked solid today, so did Parnell - Split w/ AZ, big series vs SF, Baxter comin back, Nieuweheis going down to BUFF(take Bay and his .159 with him) - Hairston is being looked at by a bunch of teams, let's get a quality pitcher and make the next 60 gms interesting!

YA GOTTA BELIEVE
Let's Go Mets!!!

simply for the fact there is a 2012 Bears thread...(no offense, but jeez, really, do we really think they are doing ANYTHING this season???) As a Phins fan, glad football is on horizon (PS - good luck w/ headcase Marshall)
Raiders thread... (again, what are they doing this season???) Are the Pack suddenly gonna suck? Detroit takin' a step back? Niners sucking? Giants sucking? Eagles sucking? New Orleans sucking? C'mon Bears fans... & The Raiders??? Suddenly better then SD, KC and Den? Wow... not to mention NE, Mia, Bal, Pitt, etc...
& Marlins thread ahead of this (behind the Mets in the standings for gods sake)

Harvey solid tonight - no bats tho, Timmy was chuckin strikes

81 - I know you are a diehard Bears fan, no disrespect at all - really, but c'mon - all teams have hope
What did the Bears do this offseason to LEAP ahead of Giants, New Orleans, Packers - let alone Lions?
C'mon - prove me wrong - Marshall? He's a bum and will disappoint you greatly - trust me
PHINS Super Bowl champs 2013!!!

(That should get you going!)

Oh yeah, 8-8 last year, 3rd place in Div, lost to the WEAK AFC West, Lions and Seahags between Thxgiving and Xmas, barely squeaked out a W vs 3-13 Minny - but I'm crazy to criticize...

Good luck this year. As a PHINS fan, I'm hoping for the exact turnaround you're so confident the Bears will have...

Love ya 81 - and I love the NFL season - hope springs eternal for all!
