eball Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Great to get Lindor signed; good young core w/ Alonso and Conforto. McCann was an underrated pickup. Pitching will be good; they should at least compete for the WC. It’s a shame Covid has interrupted the start of their season but I’m looking forward to watching them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Looks as though the Mets are scrounging for scraps after a long offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket94 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 This Mets team is better than many predict. Even though they are not done rebuilding, you gotta believe! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about this guy. I love it so much I stored it on my clipboard: "Worst case: Despite the new owner and all the good tidings from the offseason, the Mets prove to still be the Mets. The rotation behind deGrom can't stay healthy. The bullpen implodes. The defense is one of the league's worst. The Mets stagger to 80 wins and a fourth-place finish. Discord ensues and Lindor decides there has to be a better situation for him somewhere else. -- Doolittle" 😆🤣 On 4/1/2021 at 7:06 PM, Beerball said: I think this is our year.

There are fewer teams I root for over the Yankees. Maybe one or two teams. Mets ain't one of them. Little more with the Mets. Yankees are one of them.

How could you be agnostic about the Mets and love a quote that predicts a worst case scenario for the upcoming season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Own it. How could you be agnostic about the Mets and love a quote that predicts a worst case scenario for the upcoming season? Look, I rooted for Mets in 1986 because they played the BoSox. I don't mind seeing the Mets collapse. I can't explain it. I think it's funny... Like watching the Cubs suck. Or Boston suck. But, on that scale... Watching Boston win is the worst. Why pick on me? You didn't see the OP's initial post? I guess, I am just a troublemaker. You can't convert me. I have no remorse with this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Hometown connection. Sure Home State. But who from Upstate doesn't secretly loathe NYC? I can tolerate The City, it's like Chicago here. Love & hate the place and it's teams. I will root for Sox here, that's about it... Over the Mets, but not Yankees. Strange... I grew up hating Yankees. I'd take Mets over Cubs. The 1969 collapse is epic! I rooted for Cubs over Marlins and San Diego... But Indians over Cubs. My MLB allegiance is schizo without a heart! 😆 I guess like me! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hyper-sensitive to Met criticism (usually warranted). I've been the same way about the Bills for way too long. Hopefully it's changed for both!

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Oh... Funny story about the Mets and 1969. My brother was 5 and in Kindergarten... My mother got him a Mets tee-shirt. Same mother who grew up thinking only the Yankees & Dodgers were allowed in World Series (honest Native, really! 😆)... And daughter of total Yankee lover AND Mets lover, my grandmother... ...Anyway my brother, who's 4 years older than me says he goes to school with said Mets tee-shirt and is promptly picked on, called every name in the school bus dictionary by the older kids. 1969 wasn't all that idyllic. Did you ever see Shea Stadium during those years?😉😉 Anyway, he went on to be a Yankee lover... During the Yankees-KC years I rooted for Royals... YET, he tolerated the Mets and would root for them. But NOT over St.Louis Cardinals! 😅🤣 I hope this clarifies things! 😆🤣 Edited April 3, 2021 by ExiledInIllinois 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never come across a Crankee fan who tried to hide it - and why should they? I embrace the (sports) hatred of the Mets, it's all good to me. LFGM!

Gugny Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 An Open Letter to All Genuine Mets Fans: This thread was created by a SF Giants fan. The Original Poster created this thread to MOCK the Mets ... not to celebrate them. I'm calling on all true Mets fans to discuss anything BUT the Mets in this thread. #LFGM Love, Gugny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
