New York Mets 2016 Season Thread - Page 3

Westheim · 05-30-2016, 07:07 AM

Funny thing is how the ESPN broadcast (ugh! - three days in a row! I want Gary, Ron, and Keith back!) at first pawned the Dodgers for removing Kershaw for Liberatore with the tying run on and two outs in the bottom 8th and he promptly gives up that run on a freak triple to Granderson. "How can you not bring in Kenley Janssen!?" - Managing to the same stupid book night in, night out, that's how.

That's why most of the time OOTP Baseball is less stressful than real baseball. At least I can yell at the moron that broke the game with stupid decisions in OOTP. Just head for the nearest mirror...

And next up: the Filth Sox. Who must be REALLY angry by now...

Westheim · 05-30-2016, 10:50 AM

Totally not looking forward to today's game, for ...

a) ESPN (blech)
b) Mets suck
c) Matt Harvey sucks

And I was always all giddy when Harvey would start a day game (because I usually never get to see night games, except this week, in which I'm out of the old sad office).

Sad.

The highest note might be that all this gives me an excuse to play my daily Raccoons slate next to the Mets game and do something else now and after the game.

Sorry, a troubled mind is wandering... -.-

You need to focus. It's May. Your team is in second place. You're playing a series against a team that is so in over its head it's crazy. You will miss Chris Sale.

Whoofe · 05-30-2016, 02:28 PM

this game may depend on whose bullpen is worse

Westheim · 05-30-2016, 03:38 PM

Well. The evening has been so-so so far.

Harvey > Raccoons.

Mets lineup > Raccoons lineup. (Yes, actually.)

Mets closer ??? Raccoons closer

The sight of Jeurys Familia warming up gives me this warm, oppressing feeling of certain doom, though.

Westheim · 05-30-2016, 03:42 PM

Or maybe MLB.tv just stops servicing me altogether before the ninth inning even begins.

Airdrop01 · 05-30-2016, 03:45 PM

Breathe!!!

Westheim · 05-30-2016, 03:55 PM

So of course when MLB.tv locks me out, he doesn't implode. Nice.

Just now managed to pull up the box score.

How is this team even only half a game out of first? Some of these guys are even paid real currency!

Westheim · 05-31-2016, 09:34 PM

I ****ing hate Hansel Robles.

Whoofe · 05-31-2016, 10:22 PM

why did syndergaard come in relief?

Westheim · 06-01-2016, 05:13 AM

I assume he threw his bullpen session in live action after only getting into the third inning against the Dodgers for ... wicked reasons.

Westheim · 06-01-2016, 04:38 PM

The Mets have TEN walks in TEN innings, and it's still 1-1.

Can't anybody on this team swing a stick??

Westheim · 06-01-2016, 05:05 PM

ELEVEN walks in ELEVEN innings, and still 1-1.

But Terry, Leader of Men, shows mercy with our sorry souls and sends in the bleached body of Hansel "Sir Gets-Bowled-A-Lot" Robles, for defeat to engulf us in due order.

I love Terry. This was one terrible game.

Whoofe · 06-01-2016, 05:35 PM

hit into too many double plays

and now an AL relief pitcher hits a leadoff double... ouch, wild pitch, sac fly.

Westheim · 06-01-2016, 05:36 PM

But Matt Albers hits a double, wild pitch, sac fly. I am as of yet undecided whether I should cry or scream.

Westheim · 06-01-2016, 05:49 PM

Thirteen walks in thirteen innings...

Those miserable blighters...

Whoofe · 06-01-2016, 05:52 PM

how can the Mets be starting 2 players that are hitting near .100 and and 2 other players right at the Mendoza line? add the pitcher spot and you have half your lineup below MLB standards

Conforto will be at that Mendoza line real soon as well.

That was 4:40 of no fun today.

Westheim · 06-04-2016, 04:58 PM

When I'm back with a printer on Monday in the office, I'll print out Plawecki's picture with a darts board over it.

Ah, heck. Make it a group picture with Flores, Campbell, and Robles.
