Captain Murica Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 This is probably the darkest of places I’ve been in as Mets fan since “06-08”, I was born in 85 unfortunately can’t even fall back on that squad.

But unless they're ready to move on from Thor or maybe Conforto I don't think they're bringing back very much in a trade.
Another Fan Posted June 29, 2019 Author Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Not trying to be funny but the local Dick's Sporting Goods had all Mets apparel 1/2 off. 13 hours ago, Captain Murica said: This is probably the darkest of places I’ve been in as Mets fan since “06-08”, I was born in 85 unfortunately can’t even fall back on that squad. I'm in my 30's and two seasons come to mind that rival this: End of 2004- The veterans on that club pretty much all gave up on Art Howe. The inmates were running the asylum then. It got leaked Howe was being fired before the season was ending. I had to listen to him breakdown on the Mike & Maddog show and hang up. That was rough. 2009- A seriously injury plagued and underachieving year. Had to endure a Phillies/Yankees World Series as well. I'm sort of the rare Mets fan that really has nothing against Philly but what made it worse that year was Pedro Martinez joining their club in a pathetic attempt to get a ring. What makes this SCARIER though is VW is under a 4 year contract. At least per Mike Francesa. God knows what more damage he can create. Edited June 29, 2019 by Another Fan 1

Yeah, I'm 33 and just because this one is so recent makes it the worst. I have friends(phillies and yankees fans) telling me I shouldn't be upset or so negative because they made the WS back in '15. They keep forgetting that we traded 2 top 50 MLB prospects to obtain Cano (4 more years of that corpse blocking McNeil from playing 2nd) and Diaz. The trade was really for Diaz but still we threw in Bruce, Swarzak, and Bautista as well. Swarzak is having a solid year with the Braves and would've helped tremendously right now. Bruce is showing that he can hit the long ball again. You don't trade for a closer if you're not going all in and committing to it. Plus, the failure to evaluate the talent on the roster IE McNeil and Alonso. My on going issue with BVW is that there was options, better options to fill the holes on this roster yet he decided to acquire his former clients. Ottavino instead of Familia, McNeil rather than Cano, Kimbrel instead of Diaz, and that's without giving up any prospects in the process. Sigh, I just hate how they're out of it already and its not even July yet. 2
Misterbluesky Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Just because Mick lost faith in his club doesn't mean we are selling off talent.You don't rebuild after giving your ace a massive contract...just my two cents worth. I can see Dom getting moved for pen help...Frazier is tight with Mick..Mick goes and so will Frazier..but as G.Goat stated..I would expect next to nothing for him. These are bad days..but let's stay positive,lots of baseball left to play. Edited June 29, 2019 by Misterbluesky
Misterbluesky Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Obviously..Ramos in this afternoon,batting 7th..Rosie in 8th spot.Other than that we will see the same lineup as last night. The winning streak begins today.
Misterbluesky Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 SPAM ALERT: Ritz Vinegar crisp&thins. Perfect for a semi heavyweight during a baseball game...and they taste great.less calories/fat than potato chips. AND...much tastier than fingernails during these tough days...I only have one bleeding finger ???
Misterbluesky Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 I hope you fellas are taping this. Tom's son looks just like his daddy..wow.
Misterbluesky Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Koosman giving Gil a big tip of the hat! But he said "booze running machine". That's old school baseball...they drank beer in the clubhouse back then. Edited June 29, 2019 by Misterbluesky
Rocket94 Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Well...what now? I say the Mets concede to the obvious and begin a rebuild. They have Alonso, McNeil, Degrom and Conforto as a good nucleus.

SinceThe70s Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Apparently the Mets paid tribute to players from the 1969 who have passed away and somehow managed to include two players who are still alive.

Not good again man. Down 5-3 as I write this. I might night be able to stomach watching/following the Yankee games. It'd make me physically ill to watch the bullpen meltdown against the Yanks.
Captain Murica Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 I was at the game last night. We left after the rally in the 8th because I don't think I would've survived watching another blown save live. 1
