Leave your thoughts and comments on the Mets glorious world championship season here. 

Big win against the pretender Nats last night. Bartolo the hero shut it down with 7 strong. On his 143rd birthday no less.

So after the Mets got outscored by the Nationals 16-4 in three games at home, one win puts the Mets into the World Series?  Good luck.

At least the NL East started out interesting.  Let's see what the standings look like in July.

We'll see what the NL East looks like after the All-Star break.

Four of the five teams are above 500, it'll be interesting to see if that continues.

Im really surprised by Philly's play. I had them as one of the worst teams in the show before the season started. Nice little staff they have down there.

Yes. And non-belivers will be shamed. 

Did you know Cespedes leads MLB in home runs? What a beast! 


Yes, 1969 was a glorious year.

That's weird. You spelled "Red Sox" wrong in the thread title.

Maybe if the Mets post a few wins from games they play by themselves, they have a chance. :whistle:

Matt Harvey is being tar and feathered as we speak.

Crowning the Mets at this point is premature at best and I'm a die hard Mets fan.  With Duda out they don't have a true first baseman and will miss his bat.  Matt Harvey and DeGrom are not close to their 2015 fastball speeds and control and Matz is having some elbow issues.  The bullpen is getting more work than anticipated and it's still very early in the season.   Conforto and Cespedes have had hot bats but that won't last all season.

Being from long island, i realize the soul crushing veil of hopelessness encompasses you at all times, but there is no need for such low optimism. Yes, there is absolutely nobody to replace Duda, and i expect them to make a trade for a guy in the coming weeks. But Conforto, Walker and Cespedes can maintain a baseline production that will weather through Duda's absense. You can count on him missing 30-40 games a year anyway, so i wasn't too broken up when he had the back thing. Its managements fail for not having a utility guy or groom in place. 

The east is way more competitive than i thought it would be. Philly and Miami will be banging on the Nats just as much as the Mets.  So .550 ball through the all star break may get it done.

Im not worried about Matz or DeGrom. They're pitching great and Collins is careful with their workload. Maybe that is working the pen more than it needs to but its not a problem IMO. Harvey being shelled the way he has been is a little shocking, but i felt it coming. 

Edited by Groucho Valentine

2 out of 3 from the Nats, not bad. Stellar pitching in the wins by Matz and Colon. If the Mets get same thing out of the dodgers series it will be a great road trip.

    • It's not Scottie's fault the announcers keep saying that about him, that seems like a silly reason to root for someone else IMO.    I think announcers have at least somewhat of a role in giving amateur golfers unrealistic expectations for what a good shot is. They act like PGA Tour players should make every 8 foot putt and hit it inside 5 feet from 100yds when in reality they only make just over 50% of their 8 footers and tour average from 100yds is around 20 feet.
    • Touche'. Fair point. 
    • I used to find commentators really obnoxious like this, then I watched one of the online streams of the Masters (I think it was amen corner) that had someone commentating on it, but they were literally just stating the name of the player about to hit and their score and other drab stuff. It was so bland I couldn't watch it. Worse than nothing, but I did want to know some of the stuff they were talking about, which is something of a catch-22. I did realize that the commentary team have a pretty rough time of it and do a hard job and some of them do it better than you might realize. 
    • Okay, this is my opinion. But you really should consider getting data. No offense but human memory can be odd. Sometimes we make a long putt early on with our new putter and from that first impression onward you have a "putter that's good for long putts." We may miss our first two short ones and now you have "A putter that doesn't work for short putts". Sometimes these things even out over time, sometimes they don't, but it's often tough to break our first impressions of what's happening.  Plus, let's say that in fact it is true. You putt better from long distance with a broomstick and better from close up with a standard putter. Which one holds more weight? Here's an example. If your short putting is -5 SG (Strokes Gained) and your long putting is +5 SG does that mean your over all putting is 0 SG? What if your overall putting with one putter is -2 SG and +2 SG with the other putter? The answer to which putter should you use is of course is "It depends". BUT.... If you had SG (strokes gained) data for both putters you would know right away which putter is better for you. Or at least you'd have a better idea. This still doesn't take into account the difficulty of where you are playing, and/or the particular days in which you play. We've all had those putting days where it "feels" like everything you hit rolls in. AND... we've all had those days where it "feels" like you can't make a thing.  My best advice is get putting lessons. ... My second best advice is get data.  Unless you just want to get a new putter. Than go ahead. I love shiny things and I'd be the last person to claim I have never replaced a club that was working fine just because I wanted to get a new one. 
    • I think it is only a matter of time before a voiceover app that can be applied to live telecast will come and rescue us one of these days. And I think it will be hilarious.
