Only reason I am not yet is because no one else is running away with it but...with that said, we ain’t winning or getting to the WS this year. I would rather free up Todd’s money, get some depth in the minors and use his money elsewhere.
His value is going up right now and if he stays hot but we don’t make huge gains as a team, get the best deal we ever will for him.

I seriously doubt they will add anyone to help their chances. Until they do, THEYRE ALREADY OUT OF IT.

I see a difference in the team with the way the starting pitching is going deeper into games. The strength of this team, like in 2015, is the starting pitching. No one other than the Nationals have a starting staff that can compare and the fact no other team in the division is running away makes it a real possibility the Mets could still win. The beauty of this division is no one has claimed it even though Philly and Atlanta have played excellent ball up till this point. If the Mets continue to take the same approach they have over the last few games, there is no reason NOT to believe they are back in the race. Good pitching shuts down a good offense. Daniel "Mets killer" Murphy was 2 for 11 with 6 strikeouts. The Mets took the best offense in the National League and shut it down with ease. As long as Mickey Moron stays away from going deep into the bullpen, the Mets have a shot. Time for BVW to start making moves for middle relievers.

I see the key to the Mets success starting with the 5 starters going deep into games like at least 6 innings, but 7 would be great. From there go with Lugo and Gsellman (to a lesser degree), sprinkled in a little Font (1 inning max) and limited Familia exposure. Maybe twice a week you throw in Santiago. Diaz is your closer. The rest of the bullpen needs to be recycled to another team or place. I sure there are some middle relievers available for a reasonable price/deal without breaking the bank.

Maybe Mickey Moron has learned his lesson. He blew two games in the past week by taking out DeGrom and Syndergaard too early. With those games, we're 2 games over .500 instead of two under. Unless they are getting pummeled, the starters have to go a minimum of 7 innings right now. 120 pitches should be the limit.

I was sure you were correct that they said it but I meant that I hope you were repeating it in a sarcastic manner as in, "you got to be shitting me"

Aaron Altherr has cleared waivers and has accepted assignment to Syracuse.

Cano, Nimmo, and Justin Wilson also headed to Syracuse where they will begin rehab assignments tomorrow.

Actually, twenty years ago yesterday, but close enough.

Yankees open the stadium fully knowing it will be a rain out. Disgusting how they open the gates and let patrons in to spend money on food and beer fully knowing they were going to cancel this. Oh and extra $45 if you parked your car.

Phillies pitching hammered by Arizona tonight, giving up 13 runs. Jay Bruce with his 5th homer in 6 games for the Phils.

But I thought they ran a 1st class organization? This isn't the 1st time this season they've done this. With that said, I wish the Mets organization was run 1/10th as well, top to bottom as theirs. There,I said it, Yankee fans. PS> The Mets have running the bottom part down pretty well, the top, not so much.:cry:

With the Phils losing last night, Braves move into a tie for first place. Mets 4.5 games back.
Wheeler pitches first today, and Vargas in second game.

You can't blink when Wheeler is pitching cause you never know when he's just gonna lose it. He's such a disappointment this year.

Peterson joins the bum of the week club. Or I should say rejoins. They just keep recycling this trash on a weekly basis. It's like Citi Field is a landfill and Mickey Mouse is at the wheels of the dump truck.

Yanks reliever throws almost as many pitches as Vargas tonight. Would love to see Vargas reach 100 pitches someday.
