deGreat deGrom deFeats daMarlins …!
Never mind that they apparently tried to blow another 6-0 lead in the ninth. Sometimes it's better to only watch the Mets highlights.

12 walks for Mets pitchers in this game, and it is only the damn SIXTH. Franchise high water mark for walks in a 9-inning game is 15, set in 1970.
Come on, Eiland - be a ****ing man, and get out the double-barrelled sign if Peterson dares to throw another ball three!!

I just wished the Mets had an actual shortstop rather than a show-off scarecrow with lead weights for hands and nothing but straw for brains.

Cespedes goes down ...yet again.
Unbelievable? Actually, very believable.

You guys have Cespedes; we have Ellsbury. Both have been enormous wastes of money. The crucial difference is, Ellsbury was never expected to carry the franchise like Cespedes was.

At least Cespedes (and Murph) carried the team to a pennant.
And that was it.

Granted. That's way more than Ellsbury ever did for us!

You know the feeling when you are so stark raving mad that you can’t even get the words and letters out in order? That was me for an hour after I finished watching Wednesday's royal miscarriage of a game from the archives. I was so kind and compiled my list of scapegoats – you always need scapegoats, otherwise it’s your fault for following such a wonderously inept franchise that in terms of professionalism, knowledge and sheer cunning couldn’t hold a candle to a medium-sized basket full of newborn kittens. Scapegoats keep you sane. Maybe.
Shoutout to Familia, who was finally gone, doing his melting down for somebody else, and is on such a great track to the Meltdown Hall of Fame that the Mets weren’t gonna miss out on that future HoF’er and just had to bring him back for more epic meltdowns. Shoutout to Brodie Van Waffletown for that ingenious trade with Seattle. Without a doubt Jarred Kelenic will win 11 MVPs as a Mariner, while the Mets are stuck with their next flash-in-the-pan closer and another $79m to pay Cano for being a lazy bum that can’t hit, can’t field, won’t run, and is currently parked on the DL where he can at least only do minimal damage to his own team. Just keep him on there. At least he’s not costing MY money while he’s on the DL. Shoutout to Captain Mickey, whose dumb expression drives me up the wall, and whose stupid decisions keep unravelling a borderline wild card team. Maybe Diaz would have stunk just a little less if he hadn’t pitched in last night’s non-save situation? Who knows! Captain Mickey surely doesn’t know. Captain Mickey knows NOTHING. Wouldn’t surprise me to find strings attached to his arms and fingers and somebody playing that muppet from atop the dugout, always cleverly staying out of shot. Shoutout to Amed Rosario, who has none of his four paws under control, and whose level of play at short is as appalling as a kid playing with matches in the dynamite factory. Can we get Wilmer Flores back, please? I hear Ruben Tejada keeps in shape in Syracuse. I will taken Ruben Tejada *immediately* over A Met Evoking Disappointment. Shoutout to Rob Numbfred and the rest of the corrupt MLB brass for the supercharged baseballs that turn every game into 11-7 bombfests. Or sometimes 5-4 with nine homers. There is no integrity in the game, and that fish is stinking from the head on down. Shoutout also to mlb.tv, who managed to show a 4 in the bottom 9th of the line score when Muncy hit that ball to Sacramento. I mean… I was pretty prescient about how this was going to unravel at that point, but … COME ON.

Brooks Pounders is my hero.
Brooks Pounders is a gentleman’s name. Brooks Pounders was the best pitcher in his Mets debut. Brooks Pounders is – no matter what happens from here on out – Brodie von Waffletown’s best move as Mets GM. Brooks Pounders will one day make it to the Hall of Fame, even if only as a visitor. Brooks Pounders is all we could ever hope, or wish, for. Brooks Pounders should get a bobblehead right away. Brooks Pounders will be our closer before the season’s out. Brooks Pounders appeared as our savior just when I wondered out loud what Manny Acosta, Scott Rice, and D.J. Carrasco were up to right now. Brooks Pounders should get Familia’s contract and Familia should be sent to the Rockies, so they can have fireworks in Denver every day.

I think Westheim's comments in this thread take all the words out of my mouth when it comes to my Mets.
Can't wait for the day the Wilpon$ disappear, and frankly I hope it's during my lifetime. Not winning another title until this team has new owners.

Good job by the ****ing moron Callaway, letting Lugo throw 41 pitches, all ****, until he finally hangs one to Baez for a go-ahead homer. Why the **** isn't Gsellman coming in? The rage of seeing him stand around in the pen and picking his nose, while Lugo goes 3-0 on EVERYBODY. Callaway, stupid ****ing moron, could be struck by a falling piano and would keep walking because he wouldn't notice that either! ****ing moron, ****head, *******!

And while I'm at it, **** Cano, too, again not running to first base on strike three in the dirt, and **** Van Wagenen for having made him our ****ing problem in the first place!

I think it is safe to say that the whole "Agent as a GM" experiment, as well as the "Pitching Coach Turned Deer in the Headlights Manager" experiment are both complete disasters, as the Mets "bullpen" blows yet another one. Shoutout to Pitching Coach Turned Deer in the Headlights for taking Vargas out after just 77 pitches. Surprised he didn't try to start a fight with another reporter after this one.
The fish rots from the top, and it will not change until the Wilpon$ are forced to sell the team for repeated acts of "Franchise Malpractice". Won't happen, but the other option is continuing to be an irrelevant club with the occasional 90-win season pulled out of their rear. Biggest market in the world, New York...and you're telling me that THIS is the best team you can put together? Hard pass.
