He's safe, that looks to have been the last series the Mets will lose to the Cubs this season.  Unless the Mets are lucky enough to get the last wild-card spot.

Or unlucky, as they poised to win the divison.

3rd place, and losing ground since the All-Star break.  Not what most rational folks would call "poised"

Sorry to burst your bubble, but everyone knows this is the year of The Land.

Stipe, Lake Erie Monsters, Cavs, Indians, RNC...hell, the Browns might even win 4 games this year at the rate we're going.

Well, now that the Mets have lost 52, all they need to do is to go 55-0 to get to those 110 wins.  :whistle:

The Mets sold their collective soul to the devil last year, to make the amazing stretch run.  This year the devil is collecting.

Nah. They're just a feast or famine offense. They score 60% of their runs off homers. Thats unsustainable. The pitching is as good as it was last season and the defense is slightly better.

    • I am not sure that's the announcers - that's more the producers. It's like the "oh and we're going to cut over to Joe Schmoe here who has a 90 foot putt for eagle on 7. He's +12 for the tournament, let's see what happens", gee I wonder. But they do cut around and show the putts that go in or the shots that go close.  One of my favorite announcers is Ken Brown. He played to a high standard and he's quite engaging too. Good combination. He is always talking about how difficult a shot the guy is about to play is. Player has a chip over a ridge and he'll say something along the lines of "this is such a difficult shot - if he can get this within 15 feet of the hole he's doing very well". Then they chip it to a foot and he starts gushing. That's almost the opposite. But it does add some excitement, especially if you don't know how hard the shot is, which, let's face it, is pretty tough to tell on television.  There are though definitely some (Miller was pretty "good" at this) who will create unreasonable expectations. Like "he'll be pretty upset if he doesn't get this inside 10 feet" from 100 yards away. On a somewhat separate note, that's why I always quite enjoyed it when they showed every shot Tiger hit. Gave you a much better idea of how the game is actually played. You could watch him some days and he'd do literally nothing spectacular all day, but you add it up and he's shot 67 and you question how he did it. Well, he did it by hitting almost all the greens, making birdies on the par 5s and holing a couple of 8 foot putts on the better approach shots.
    • 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.
