Cardinals play the Giants seven times this year, three at home and four in San Francisco. The season series is currently 2-2.

Mets played Cardinals six times. It was a 3-3 split.

Mets played the Giants seven times this series, threw times at home and four in San Fran. Mets won 4 out of 7.

Combined wins of the Padres, Diamondbacks, and Rockies (speaks to Giants division strength): 193.

Combined wins of Marlins, Phillies, and Braves: 194.

Pirates, Brewers, Reds are at 199, or an average of 2 more wins per team. Not a big difference.[/QUOTE]

Well, I think somebody has already posted in this thread that it IS important WHEN you play a team. I know what St. Louis is playing for. And I know what San Francisco is playing for.
I also know what Boston, Baltimore, and Toronto are playing for.
Now....tell me what Minnesota, Atlanta, Phialdelphia, and Florida are playing for AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON.
The mets have an incredibly easy schedule remaining. Just admit it. Geez.

Thankfully I'm a die-hard Celtics and Cowboys fan (with my ample share of rings), so all the grief I always hear about the "JV" team's history rolls off my back most the year. Plus 1986 is just about as good as it will ever get for any baseball fan - so I continually thank the good Lord for that.

My God, WE HAVE ADMITTED IT, AND SAID YOU PLAY WHO'S LEFT . Haven't seen you admit to anything about anything, Mr. truth. Admit, your crying about the Yankee lot in life. Admit you gave up on the season weeks ago. Admit should I go on?Your latest is implying the Mets DL players that aren't really hurt?Really, your so sour on you season, you just cry about who the Mets have left to play. Ask Toronto, how easy the Rays were this week, and I'm sure the Twins would like to stick it to the Mets.Admit, it took you a long time to fall asleep last night. Do YOU admit to anything? Practice what you preach

First off, Theres been plenty of times where a time that been out of it have knocked off a team playing for a playoff spot in ALL SPORTS. Ill give you the Florida Marlins who knocked out the Mets in 2007 and 2008 as one example.

Second of all, you already told me that you basically dont give a damm of what I think. So why would any of us honeydicking you would all of a sudden make your pants wet?

The jury is out? The Mets don't miss him? No! You are totally wrong.

The Nats signing Murphy was the single best move by any MLB team this off-season, especially considering the relatively low cost. The idea that the Mets couldn't sign both Murphy and Cespedes is pure Mets PR spin. Murph's contract isn't even in the same solar system as Cespedes.
I realize you're just here to troll, and probably don't even watch the game, but at least do your research. Cespedes wasn't even on the Mets radar. De Aza was going to be Wilpon's big FA signing until everyone else refused to pay #52. The Murph decision was done in Game 4, after the 2nd costliest error in WS history. No one who watches the Mets was surprised by it, and his baserunning is just as bad. If you don't believe it, just watch.

Mets not resigning Murphy as you said was a huge mistake, but come on Cepedes is a PR move? Are you crazy, have you seen his numbers, and throwing arm? The guy is 5 tool if I've ever seen one.
Please re-read my post. I never said signing Cespedes was a PR move. I said the idea that the Mets couldn't have signed both Cespedes AND Murphy is pure PR spin. The Mets made a horrible miscalculation on Murphy, especially given that he 1) Wanted to stay in NY and 2) He ended up on a divisional rival.

Oh no. I assure you 2000 was way better.
Besides, how many posters here were even around in 1986 ?
oh and BTW, the Celtics and the Cowgirls blow.

Already admitted the remaining schedule is weak on paper BECAUSE THE METS ALREADY FACED THEIR TOUGHER OPPONENTS. I also said sevreal times, so what if the rest is weaker on paper than anyone else's schedule?

Brian Dozier is the hottest hitter on the planet, BTW. Would've been nice if the Mets faced him pre ASB when he was a hot mess.

Trolling is truly sad, you need better hobbies.

No one on the planet thought Murphy was gonna do what he's done this year, he'd have gotten more than double the money if teams thought that was a possibility.

There is no one arguing that the Mets have an easy schedule. No one. We get it. We also don't care or feel bad about it.

Like mets fans everywhere wouldn't be crying if the situation was reversed.
And they wouldn't be buying that "you play who you play crap" either.
The Yankees have a better record than the mets right now and the only thing that might prevent us from having more wins than the mets at the end of the season is the extremely difficult schedule the Yankees have left vs. the bunch of losers left on the mets schedule....including the two teams with the worst records in MLB. Just consider yourself lucky that your team doesn't play a real schedule in a real division.
Now, let us focus on Kershaw and then the Bosux....while the mets play the Twinkies.

Wasn't sure if you noticed the standings, but you should check.
And the real reason that the two teams are even close is the Mets have had a ton of injuries and your team gave up on the season.

Nothing to say on this lucky brake,just thought I'd give you another chance. didn't think so. One way Willie.

I've been posting about the mets finishing the season with 19 games vs. the dregs of MLB. And you wanna compare THAT to missing ONE of Boston's top pitchers ?
Listen...if the mets happen to miss one of the Twinkies top pitchers.....oh wait...THEY DON'T HAVE ANY..[/QUOTE]
LOL, Love the way you down play stuff to suit your arguments,Mr. Truth. "Missing "ONE" of Boston's top pitchers"? How about their "BEST" pitcher and only 20 game winner in baseball. Does that sound a little more accurate?

Andy, you need to give him some time to come up with something new, since he never thought this day was coming. Let me guess,something new,ya think the schedule might be what he'll cry about?[cheers]

I was listening to Mike the Pope Francessa today and he had a lot of good point about the Yankees.. He was conceding the season saying it's pretty much over but a lot of good things came out with the young kids playing and getting experience. Said Joe did a great job and should be a candidate for Manager of the year. Said they had to make a couple more moves but the future is bright. All true, but I was very surprised he already put the nail in the coffin when they started the day only 3 out of the wild card. Then I thought about it, and that's what Yankee fans have done so many times this year, and given up way before the players did.

Yeah, the loss Thursday night to the Bosux was about as bad as it gets for me.
And having a worse won/loss record than the mets is annoying.
Why oh why do we have so many games vs. Boston, Baltimore, and Toronto and the mets so many games vs. Minnesota, Atlanta, and Philadelphia ?
BTW, I couldn't believe the ERA of the guy that started vs. the mets Friday. Berrios has what must be an all-time record 8.88 ERA....and he's started at least a dozen games for the Twinkies.
Don't forget that Thank You note to the schedule-maker.

Yeah...right. As much as I've documented the difficulty of the Yankees remaining schedule...so many games vs. quality teams fighting for the playoffs. And the mets schedule vs. the dregs who are just playing out the season. And you thought I didn't figure the mets would pass the Yanks ?
You really are a dim one.

Well those first 2 lines were about as honest and forthright as I've seen you post in THIS thread,and it shows that a little humility brings out the best in you. This thread has been vicious at times, but in all fairness, it's a place for Met fans to express their feelings about the team as the season progressed. Coming on,which is your right, and throwing snippy remarks invited the remarks you got. Your not stupid, ,you wanted the give and take you got. Because no Met fan trusts ownership, taking the city over other than a couple of years here and there never seems possible. Bottom line is, we Met fans will enjoy the rest of this run,whether it ends in just missing out, losing the WC game, or winning it all. It's about the ride,and that's why when I hear the "we won 27 WS" I just laugh. It's always been about being there. When Rutgers won the Louisville game and the fans stormed the field, my son was a Freshman in the student section. My younger son and I met him at the 50 yard line and were going nuts. A lot better than if that game happened before any of us were born to see it, and then bragged about it to a Louisville fan. Lets Go Mets.

Kbee, what ny team has best record again? What ny team is in playoffs again? Since george died yanks have been nothing.......
The Yankees have totally outsmarted and outclassed the Mets this year. 1) They gained prospects at the deadline while staying in the wild card race through most of September and 2) They released A-Rod while the Mets signed scumbag Jose Reyes. After the Mets lose to Bumgarner in the play-in game or get smashed by the Cubs in the NLDS you'll regret giving up prospects to get the 2nd wild card. Trust me.

Well you can feel that way,it's fine. Prospects are never a sure thing,and so many factors can derail a great team. That's why you go for the brass ring when you got the chance. I'm betting your still wet behind the ears, and haven't seen half the baseball seasons I have. **** happens, and a promising season can go down hill in a heart beat. Those same Cubs that were heavy favorites last season that the lowly Mets sweep, those Cubs? I rest my point, youngster.

Ha, why are you attacking me because the Mets are having a disappointing season? Given the expectations in Spring Training, the second wild card is a horrible result for the Mets. Oh, and the guy primarily responsible for the Mets beating the Cubs last year is on the Nationals now. No chance that they beat Chicago. None!

Another dim bulb. I never said that you should leave the Rutgers board. I've never said ANYONE should leave the Rutgers board.....well maybe a few Temple and Pedd St. visitors....but that's it.
Oh and Rutgersal too.
I said that anyone starting a thread on the Rutgers board about the mets should expect some of the Rutgers fans who are not mets fans to post stuff that upsets the delicate feelings of mets fans.
Just like some posters sometimes upset the feelings of Tom Brady fans or London Broil fans or Jimmy Buffet fans by posting negative stuff about them in threads here about them.
Now, please tell me why mets fans are so much more sensitive than others?

I already regret giving up Dilson Herrera for an outfielder who they really didnt need at the time or now. Esp when Jonothan Lucroy wouldve been had for Herrera but the Mets balked for some reason. So tell us something we dont know.

Im shocked that the Yankees would actually become sellers and did one hell of a job collecting all of those good young prospects. If one or two of them become great players, good for them. Any GM with a half a brain (and usually half the payroll) wouldve made those move so dont go slurping each other Yankee fans.

About Reyes, I wouldnt have signed him at the time. But Im sure Yankee fans didnt have problems with Clemens and Pettite, among others as well as the adulterer ARod until they couldnt play anymore. One of your fans basically said here that he didnt care as long as the Yankees won.

Sanchez only prospect doing anything. Dont forget half of mets team on dl. Yanks need whole pitching staff for starters. Yanks payroll still higher while mets have more talent.
