I know.Awesome win and Nats loss. I'm in Vancouver on vacation, and a guy saw my Mets hat, walked up and high-fived me, and yelled "Jays-Mets World Series!" I wouldn't go that far
Jays in the series, na!

Cespedes was booking behind Murphy just after.Grandy! Murphy needs to score on that, sheesh.
Amazing how long this lineup is all of a sudden.Cespedes was booking behind Murphy just after.Grandy! Murphy needs to score on that, sheesh.
No.Well, that was a disappointing series. Need to beat the teams we should beat.
Agreed in that regard. But they couldn't hold a lead, albeit early, in either game. Tough losses, but nothing season-ending.No.Well, that was a disappointing series. Need to beat the teams we should beat.
The mets have 3 more wins than the Rays and play in a substantially weaker division.
Touchy are we? It is the Mets thread.No.Well, that was a disappointing series. Need to beat the teams we should beat.

I read this thread. I like the mets. Were my team till the Rays were born.Touchy are we? It is the Mets thread.No.The mets have 3 more wins than the Rays and play in a substantially weaker division.Well, that was a disappointing series. Need to beat the teams we should beat.
And that doesn't mean the Rays are a bad team, but the Mets record and who they have out there on those days are different things. That said, I'll give you that perhaps I overstated a bit. Go Devil Rays.
Oh, I was not at all questioning the credentials, but rather the fact that many of us here may be at times delusionally bullish, or delusionally doom bringing.I read this thread. I like the mets.

Yes. Capella and I ARE back on track. Thanks for noticing.Back on track...
What's Uribe's role when Wright comes back, especially if Wright hits and you want him in the lineup other than rest.Nice comeback win, and the Big 3 are on the mound the next three days.
Two other very nice things: Cuddyer not starting against righties, AND Wright playing a rehab game tonight and (apparently) not dying.

I'll be there tonight with 6 other buddies (our entire Mets email thread minus the guy who lives in Chicago...that level of commitment from our bunch really shows how things have turned around). We bought on Stubhub last week...$27/each for the lower RF bleachers. Prices are up since then, and inventory is down, so if you see something you like, I would just grab now. Team coming off two wins, deGrom starting, perfect weather forecast, and a day game tomorrow should lead to a nice crowd tonight so I don't see much benefit in waiting unless you're looking for pricier seats.Headed to the game tonight. Best place to buy tickets? I assume a place like seatgeek? Is it one of those things where the longer I wait the better off I am going to be? Or should I just buy them early this morning?
Hey now, play nice. We're mostly happy for you guys in DC- at least this beats losing to the Phils, Braves or Cardinals.Hahaha Harper sitting against Greinke tonight.
Is he actually nursing a sore knee? At the time I thought it was just very convenient that he was sitting against him after the whole "he's not that good, gets strikes 6 inches off the plate" comment.Hey now, play nice.

And you won't see me celebrating when Harvey snaps his UCL again in spring training after throwing 200 innings in his rehab year![]()
I've done stubhub the morning of with success.Headed to the game tonight. Best place to buy tickets? I assume a place like seatgeek? Is it one of those things where the longer I wait the better off I am going to be? Or should I just buy them early this morning?
Yeah he's definitely hurt. He couldn't have possibly picked a worse time to sit- there's no way the manager would have let him do it. They've faced a run of lefties, including a tough one today. Any of those matchups would have made for a better rest day. And yesterday they had to start eight righties against an RHP and they also had to play a lumbering Clint Robinson in RF (picture Bartolo Colon manning the outfield) because Harper is one of only two competent defensive OFs on the current 25 man roster Total disaster. Also there's video of him wincing after a slide late in Monday's game, after the injury supposedly occurred in the 3rd inning.Is he actually nursing a sore knee?

If he's actually hurt I withdraw the laughter obviously.
I just bought 3 tickets at 76 pop in section 126. Not terrible, but I rarely go, so whatever.I'll be there tonight with 6 other buddies (our entire Mets email thread minus the guy who lives in Chicago...that level of commitment from our bunch really shows how things have turned around).

Yeah. Just check the bag policies if you're planning on bringing anything in that isn't plastic. Not sure if they've adopted those NFL like policies but if you're planning on bringing a backpack or something, you should check their site.It's been years since I've been there. Can I bring a big bag of peanuts?
The line to get in was pretty long. I had just 3 kids with me and a lady told me to go to the front if I had no bags/purses etc...RUSF18 said:Yeah.

Oh and nice seats.
3.5 game lead is niceSpecial thanks to the Dodgers for the last three days as well.
Meh,
Oh I know it isn't happening. I just couldn't believe a guy like Bob Ryan was arguing that Harvey wasn't worth Bogaerts. I really like them calling Harvey a "one-time phenom" like he's a guy struggling to bring down a 4+ ERA.Meh,
just sounds like someone posting a trade scenario in the shark pool
Boston Globe baseball columnist Nick Cafardo suggested that the Red Sox might consider trading shortstop Xander Bogaerts to the New York Mets for one-time phenom pitcher Matt Harvey in an attempt to bolster their sagging pitching staff.
I don't want any of those three pitchers going anywhere.Meh,

Great. We were close enough to the action and wound up in the last row of the bottom level on the 3rd base line. The sight lines were great, and the overhang did not interfere. I loved being able to just pop over the rail and quickly run to the bathroom and grab beer/food. I'd love season tickets right there, honestly. Also protected from the weather. Not that we needed it, it was the perfect night for a game.Hey MC how were the seats?
This town would go nuts if you traded any of those three at this point. There are like 5 guys in baseball I would trade Harvey or deGrom for, and it sure as #### isn't Xander Boegarts. The chance all these pitchers stay healthy is really slim. So unless you get a ridiculous talent, you sit tight.I don't want any of those three pitchers going anywhere.Meh,
