NJDevs4978 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Jon Heyman @JonHeymanCBS 53m hearing the PTBNL in ike deal is fairly significant. so there's that. #mets #bucs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 it can't be so significant though...maybe a utility infielder or a reliever with slightly better upside than Thornton Also Aaron Harang, a scrap heap pickup to eat up innings for us last year has now no hit us through 5. Amazing the restorative qualities of a Braves uniform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Did Harang go on PED's in the offseason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 And OF COURSE this is happening at Citi Field too, where we don't do s*it period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) I'm at the point with Citi Field where I want to pull a Braves and just call a mulligan a build a new stadium. with no Wilpon input of course Edited April 19, 2014 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 lol Granderson I'm at the point with Citi Field where I want to pull a Braves and just call a mulligan a build a new stadium. with no Wilpon input of course It's such a nice place too, Brooklyn Dodger ties or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 It is a nice place, but something about it...I think a large % of Mets fans will say it's never felt like home. And we're into year 6 already. The Mets were never associated with anything retro, they were always about what's new and exciting. I don't think a retro park really fits the franchise. I would've loved to have seen something sleeker...glass. Something that glows in Mets colors at night. Think Console Energy Center or Prudential Center. I, like all other Mets fans have no affinity or nostalgia for the Dodgers...when I see the Ebbets type design when walking in it kills it for me, it's like...WHY?

nmigliore Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Keep in mind the PTBNL could also be a 2013 draftee. Still, not betting on the player being anything of much interest. Harang throwing a no hitter, of course.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of it's the fact we've never had a single 'big' game at Citi either. Losing records every season aren't exactly going to get repeat customers. Most Devil fans were complaining about the Rock till the '12 playoff run, then it became home. They need to have a few real September/October moments there. It's sad when I think of big Citi moments the first thing that comes to mind is the All-Star game. And that was only Mets-related cause of Harvey. Oh and the Santana no-hitter (d'oh!)...that's it.

'7' Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Harang now 6 outs away from a not hitter, and if he gets into trouble with walks they will just bring in relievers who will no hit us He's at well over 100 pitches and Mets are missing 89 mph fastball over the middle of the plate. Wright, d'Arnaud...everybody. Just pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) I doubt they'll let Harang throw his arm out the way we kind of had to with Johan though who knows, they can always just replace him with the next reclamation project and keep on humming. Them and the Cardinals are just remarkable in their abillity to get guys off the scrap heap and that's outlasted Mazzone and Dave Duncan in both places.

nmigliore Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Braves will pull Harang, looks like. Smart move if they do. Mets will lose. Edited April 19, 2014 by nmigliore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) yea, with Harang out there is no chance we get a hit. Another rotten Citi Field moment. To the Braves of all teams Edited April 19, 2014 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 When are we going to put one in Freddie Freemans ear already? Then again Chipper Jones went 18 years without a brushback from the Mets so...never I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) What a circus of an 8th inning. Not sure why d'Armoron was throwing to 3rd with Uggla pretty much on the bag already, but you put on the Met uniform and all it does is apparently kill brain cells. good lord Granderbay, make the catch already.

NJDevs4978 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 lol glad I kept Detroit-Boston on...this inning sounds like a nightmare. Adam Rubin @AdamRubinESPN 1m If Mets lose, they'll be 6-3 on road and 2-5 at home. Hard to fathom.

'7' Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I think the Mets are like 6-16 going back to last year in Wilpons tomb. Just atrocious. Can't win at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I think the Mets are like 6-16 going back to last year in Wilpons tomb. Just atrocious. Can't win at home Close enough...7-15 in their last 22 home games going back to last year. Actually it's worse if you go back to mid-August, 9-21 in their last 30 home games. The sad part is we can probably find similar stretches more than once over the last five years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Didn't see this one. Glad I didn't. I'll be in Colorado all week, so I won't get to see much Met baseball at all. Sucks that the Mets had a chance to make some kind of statement to their fans and failed miserably, but that's what they do. At least Niese turned in a strong start. '7', I agree with you on Citi...I've always said it's a place the Mets happen to play in...of course, Freddy and Jeffy decided the ballpark should pay homage to a team that had left New York about 50 years prior to Citi's opening, which turned some fans off to the building right away. They HAVE taken some steps to correct some of the outright stupid decisions, like building the Mets HOF...but 4978 is right, it's going to take some serious winning before it starts to feel like home. Right now a lot of Met fans hate everything about their franchise. 4978, I don't remember hearing anyone really bitch about the Rock. Not sure what they'd really bitch about. Re: Ike Davis, I'm not surprised Sandy loused it up. The bigger joke is Doofus actually getting the job, but the good news is by next season, by virtue of the Doofmeister failing monumentally with this latest undeserved chance he's being given, the Mets should be in the market for a real first baseman next season. I don't kid myself...if Davis had been the one to stick around, it might not have gone any better. Oh well...guess it's time to look forward to 20-25 accidental home runs, a decent OB%, and not much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Pride 26 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 CR: just the lack of success in the rock. The first couple years it seemed like it was built on an Indian burial ground or something. I remember up until 2012, the rangers had more playoff wins at the Rock than us. That was annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmigliore Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Jon Heyman @JonHeymanCBS 6m The player to be named later in ike davis deal is expected to be a 2013 pirates draftee. Hearing that's key piece. #mets Before people start asking about Austin Meadows or Reese McGuire, it definitely won't be them. These guys were 1st rounders and ranked among BP's Top 100 this offseason. There is absolutely NO chance either will be the PTBNL Ike Davis.
