p.s. $330 million for a guy who can't make the All-Star team as a reserve -- yes, I know Harper went 3 for 4 with a home run today, but he's not worth $25 million a year.

Congrats to them! Note that the Phillies have only one player, Realmutto, on the team. I was really impressed by McNeil and Alonso during the Mets series with the Phillies, and so I'm glad they made it. (DeGrom didn't pitch in the series, I believe).
Surprised Hoskins did not make it.
What is your objective view on Harper's performance so far?

I was a little surprised Hoskins didn't make it, but there seem to be a lot of NL first basemen doing well this year. Harper is a definite upgrade for the Phillies over Nick Williams and Aaron Altherr at both the plate and on defense, but that's not saying much. He's good, but a superstar? I don't think so, yet he's making superstar money.

And the Mets win!!!
Wilmer Font and Diaz come through. McNeil and Alonso, as usual. Need 4 more of them and a bullpen, and the Mets will contend.

And then they F'd up the apology!

At Sunday night's game, they put a public apology to the two players up on the message board. Problem is, they misspelled one of the names. Jesse Hudson became Jessie Hudson.

Familia, Wilson, and Avilan activated from the IL. Pounders, Mazza, and Nogosek all optioned down.

Matz will come out of the rotation and pitch out of the bullpen until the All Star Break and possibly longer.

For those who like to track the progress of highly touted Mets prospects, #1 pick Brett Baty got his first promotion (GCL Mets to Kingsport) after only five games! Only six more promotions to Citi Field. At this pace, it should happen early next month. [winking]

Don't have to hear about it anymore, really just want to see Diez pitch better. And yes figured this would be the game to win with the London flight.

So true.
But, in fairness, Mets fans have so little to be happy about. Let them have tonight.
Silly response. Assuming we are all Rutgers fans. “Let them have it”. Please stop. Jet Lag? So if Washington or Washington State played RU and they lost on our field, would you say victory doesn’t count because of “Jet Lag”? You’d take the win and move on. Again no reason to compare records. No Met fan in their right mind thinks this team is any good. Just good enough to beat the Yanks.

I never mentioned jet lag.
Listen, even the best MLB teams are gonna lose two months worth of games during the course of a season. Sure it sucks losing to the jv team, but I like this Yankees team. Hopefully, German is back to pitching well tomorrow.....and the bats wake up.
