Just once I’d like to have meaningful games in August.
This year August will be particularly un-meaningful. The kids are all here. Watching Harvey will be interesting every 5th day but other than that, the prospects are all in the lineup, not coming, or in the case of Duda sent off to Siberia.
If you had told me on July 1st that it would be garbaget time by July 29th I would never have believed you. The collapse that started with the inability to beat the stupid Cubs has been indescribable.
Last night I put the Mets on for the first time in a week after my latest road trip (thanks @mediagoon for covering). I got to the game late and it was already 6-2. So I lasted 5 seconds and decided Breaking Bad and the Olympics were a better use of my time (and a better headline than what I had in the first draft of this article.)
Can someone pitch well? Anyone?
Time is valuable to me. Time is something I can’t spend on 10:05 starts this week. Time will go to Breaking Bad over a team that’s bad.
I’ll jump back in when the 7:10 starts resume, and I’ll go back to my mantra of enjoying baseball and hanging out with friends. But for a week of 10pm starts on the west coast…I’d rather watch Misty Mayor Walter White.

I did a Google search for “Mets” this morning to see what’s up. Boy I hate the internet. Some folks have dug up the Wally Backman should be manager thing. Others are back on Coffee the dog. Soon the roving packs of wild dogs will be back menacing crowds at Citi Field. And don’t even start me with Bleacher Report articles and Yahoo “Fan’s Take” nonsense like “Should the Mets trade xxx?” I’m just a fan too and everything here is a fan’s take but jeez Louise Yahoo have some standards.
