PECOTA loves the 2019 NEW YORK METS

I still have hope, so that's on me. I don't know why sometimes.

now that it's all meaningless, Jed Lowrie just pinch-hit

you gotta believe

Mickey Callaway said he intentionally walked Andrew Knapp today to get to Bryce Harper because he wanted to force the Phillies to remove reliever Mike Morin from the game.

Wile E Coyote, Genius

geez Flores hit a bomb off deGrom

Cubs are facilitating the Mets' third phony resurrection of the year

you gotta believe

maybe you gotta! this team doesnt belong on the field with the Dogers, but then again LA has already clinched, so maybe some stars will be rested in the weekend series...

do not want WC2 if it means Mickey 2020

Mets collect 9 runs, 11 hits on 9/11 anniversary

what a moment

Grand slam by JUAN LAGARES

this upcoming dodger series will be crucial, after that the schedule softens

rising from the rubble

can we get Edwin Diaz to a safe house for the next 17 days?

I will admit: I thought the combination of the Cubs sweeping the Mets and the Nationals engineering that 11-10 comeback last week basically ended the Mets' season.

I was wrong. The Mets are alive and well. It's the team that won't die.

it's the end of Carrie on a loop

Lagares and Nido must be one of the most unlikely back-to-back HR combos this year.

Getting swept in Miami didn’t end the season. Falling 11 games under .500 didn’t end the season. Neither did losing six straight at home, nor blowing a six-run lead in the ninth.

Improbably, inexplicably, incredibly, the Mets are contenders.

getting the jump on Kershaw

you really need to stop posting about first-inning leads

deGrom leads NL in pitching bWAR, 6.3 to Scherzer's 6.1

3rd among all NL players with 6.9 (offense and fielding added)

I don't give a fuckitty fuck who wins the awaaahds

Alonso 49th

3 out, 10 to play.

Don't do this to me again.

Will probably need to win at least 8 out of the final 10, and get a lot of help, but there is a chance with CIN & MIA coming up.

would have to sweep in Cincy I think

OK I guess

Had no idea there was a Mets hall of fame committee.

Ed Kranepool should be considered (Wright will get there eventually)

fwiw, much respect to the mets this year

they did some good things; they did some things that didn't work out. but they fuckin tried! extending degrom, letting alonso start on opening day, not trading syndergaard -- these are all good things! the deal with seattle doesn't look too great at the moment, but it was an effort to improve rather than purely dump salary. getting stroman was bold! they maybe *should* have traded wheeler at the deadline but it's awesome that they didn't.

41-25 in the second half is promising! mickey doesn't seem like a great manager, but the season has turned out a lot better than i thought it would three months ago

Well... Stroman had an answer to Cashman’s comments that he wouldn’t have been a “difference-maker”... I would have retweeted him but I have the honor of being one of the many baseball writers he has blocked online... pic.twitter.com/iQvDTXoVl6

If only they'd put Diaz on the IL with bubonic plague on August 1.

Kranepool IS in the Mets HOF, Gill, how could he not be? Had most of the career offensive leads until Wright came along.

https://www.mlb.com/mets/history/mets-hall-of-fame

Oh I meant they should consider retiring Kranepool’s number next, and then retire Wright’s after that.

I agree with a lot of what Mookie says upthread. Great turn around in the second half, wish they could have gotten it together faster. JD Davis has been a great find, and his frazzled post-game walk off speech was one of the highlights of the year for me. So many concerns about pitching going forward (aside from Degrom/Lugo/Wilson) but I am looking forward to seeing the young core of hitters develop for the next 3 or so years.

Right now the Mets are the dictionary definition of mediocre. They seem intent on losing all their remaining games, which would appropriately leave them at .500.

You can't "get it together" when you have the worst bullpen in the franchise's last 50 years.

(had no idea they came back to win last night)

I liked Ashley Docking's line on Stroman this morning (fair or unfair): "Retweeting his life away."

dear Howie Rose,

shut the motherfuck up, altecocker.

Jake up to 20 straight scoreless frames

Congrats Alonso

Will he also break Judge's whiff record? I know he got a golden sombrero a couple nights ago.

Pete Alonso’s grandfather, Pete, arrived to Ellis Island from Spain in the 1930s. Twenty miles away and nearly 90 years later, his grandson is the toast of New York tonight. @Mets @Pete_Alonso20 @MLBNetwork https://t.co/k8T4BggRmf

Name to watch if #Mets fire Callaway: Carlos Beltrán. Bi-lingual. Strong communicator. Played for #Mets from 2005 to ‘11. Interviewed for #Yankees’ job that went to Boone. One Mets exec, Allard Baird, was his GM with #Royals. Another, Omar Minaya, signed him when he was NYM GM.

speaking of which

The Mets announce they have fired Mickey Callaway.

— Tim Britton (@TimBritton) October 3, 2019

m-i-c, k-e-y, f-i-r-e-d, callaway! go away! etc

Beltran would seem a slam dunk

President Nixon has no plans to become manager of the Mets. - RZ pic.twitter.com/sIBZGZpqj8

^I remember seeing that moment on live TV, after Cone won his 20th in '88

I also endorse Beltrán

quiddities; agonies

Jeff Wilpon on the Mets' season: "I feel unfulfilled."

— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) October 3, 2019

i'll feel fulfilled if he sells the team

Van Wagenen, unsolicited: "Edwin Diaz is going to be on this team next year. Noah Syndergaard is going to be on this team next year."
