Shocked the Earth didn't stop rotating on its axis with a Mets winning streak, first time they won more than one in a row in over a month

Just like with TDA and Wheeler on a yearly basis...another fvcking surprise major injury.

As much as I'm in favor of putting Sandy out to pasture you just know the next GM's gonna be Ricco, who's likely Al Harazin part deux. So basically I'm as apathetic about that as I am the team as a whole right now.

A lot of good nuggets in that piece, particularly over the trade negotiations and the pre draft meeting where Darnold himself was led to believe he was either going to the Browns or Giants. Like the Jets themselves I believed Darnold would go #1 so I didn’t exactly get attached to him compared to Mayfield or Allen but the more I find out, the more I’m salivating.

Different management, different medical team, same bs

Yep they (especially Conforto and Mesoraco) needed this game for their own sanity. Mesoraco's now got a 1-21 record in his last 22 games as a starting catcher lol

Public perception will be that but Warthen and Terry also had two years with him and he stunk pre-Callaway and Eiland just as much. If anything him flicking a switch and pitching well would tell me he was tanking here till he got out. All this talk about how he didn’t have fun in NY and he ‘can just worry about pitching’ raises an eyebrow.

I refer you to CR's post earlier today (a few above) answering someone else asking what's wrong with the Mets...but I think this part at the end was a cliff notes summation

I didn't realize the game started early enough so Joe and Evan were still on the air when this lineup nonsense happened, predictable hilarity ensued: And lol at the Reds' Twitter account throwing some shade

I wasn't listening to this game on radio but when I heard about this I was like WTF...and pretty much the same reaction as the second line of your post after that. Callaway's wearing out his welcome quicker than anyone this side of John MacLean between this and a lot of the other bizarre decisions and non-decisions that have been made. Of course he's far from alone in blame for this disgusting baseball team.

Sort of a fitting deal in a way, two guys who used to actually be relevant now on the farthest reaches of irrelevance.

lol good I hope Harvey's pitching tonight or tomorrow When the **** did Frazier get hurt though? Sheesh.

lol they hold on bent over on one knee at the end with a 7-6 finish

At least the bandbox breathed the corpse of the Met offense to life...we'll see how the pitching does now that Conlon (predictably) only lasted 3.2 IP with 3 runs given up. About the best that could be hoped for.

It's easier to list what isn't wrong now - deGrom and Cabrera, that's pretty much it. Even Thor's been merely decent-good, not great. The rotation 3-5 outright sucks, half the lineup (C, 1B, SS, Conforto) hasn't hit at all and Ces-Bruce haven't gotten off to great starts either, and oh yes the bullpen's been awful after the first two weeks as well. And the manager's done some strange things.
