What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
I didn’t see any of the game but I see the Mets won and Lindor wasn’t playing. That’s as good as it gets!
I encourage Mr. Lindor to take some time here. Be with your family. Take six, seven months of paternity leave. You can boo the fans when you get back. The Mets apparently will be fine without you hitting .000
Congrats to Mrs. Lindor and Baby Lindor’s siblings!
Man, imagine if Steve hadn’t signed Soto to make Alex happy.
Meanwhile, Lindor takes another 0-for. Hopefully he goes 0 for 700.
Some of you are saying this is only Game 3. I say to you this is Year 40, AND Year 5 of Steve’s 5 Year Promise. No Excuses for the 3rd Place Mets.
I’m already bored with baseball again. I was enjoying “TV” and couldn’t be bothered to stop to watch the Mets, especially if social media is just going to tweet the entire game anyway.
I put it on a few times, but baseball is boring.
Mets win, Soto Homers, and Lindor takes another O-for…..sounds perfect!
The Mets are in second place here in Year 5 of Uncle Steve’s 5 Year Promise. No excuses!
The new road uniforms (the ones below) are clearly a step backward. I had seen something from someone named Howie who said they were better than what came before, and that is just absolutely insane.
This image from the Mets twitter account proves it.
Look at Pete in the middle. Howie can’t possibly think that’s a good looking uniform.
As for the baseball part? I had the game on while I did work “here in Houston” so I enjoyed not having to listen to the most overrated broadcaster of this generation work along side Keith and Ron.
I think you Clay Homes psychos saw what I was saying all spring – its one thing to face the Spring Training Travel Squad and another to face actual major leaguers.
The good news is Lindor went 0 for 4! His currently holds a WAR of -0.1
I have now watched as many regular season games as I did all last season!
The last place Mets are 0-1 in Year 5 of Uncle Steve’s 5 Year Promise. No Excuses.
Ten years ago I attended Opening Day for like the 30th out of 33 years, only occasionally missing because I had a new job and couldn’t get the day off. (The best OD of all time was April 5, 1983).
In 2016, after the World Series run, the Mets jacked prices because they had all their new World Series friends, so I stayed home. I have stayed home since.
A decade later, we find ourselves in a similar place. The third place Mets had their run thanks to expanded playoffs and Pete Alonso getting jammed and the ball going to the only place in the park it would have gone out. The Mets PR machine has sold everyone on Soto…to the point I think Keith Hernandez and I are the only people who realize this team has no pitching….so the Mets are telling us that season tickets (I am not using their new term) are sold out.
These are someone else’s Mets. Lee Mazzilli turned 70 the other day. There are the Lindor Mets, fans who are ok with a vulgarized LGM, a team back to wearing bad uniforms, and an owner really trying to build a casino on parkland. I find myself not interested in any of it.
I no longer have “cable.” Elon killed Twitter and with it the Twitter Hang.
The past two seasons I decided that it wasn’t worth spending all that time listening to Gary, so I stopped. I didn’t watch a game last season until Game 161.
I think I will “find a way” to see today’s game but its not like ten years ago when I was very much into the Mets.
From the start, this blog has been about the Mets reaping what the sow. Somewhere along the way, they moved on without me, and I have moved on without them. I hope for the Lindor Generation you get to enjoy things as much as I did from 1977 until the pandemic. Here in the 2020’s, I just don’t care any more.
My goal remains to keep blogging until the Mets win the World Series while nicely dressed. Unfortunately Steve & Alex have gone out of their way to make sure the team is not nicely dressed, so you have at least two more seasons of me.
Let’s Go Mets, but let’s do it with Lindor going 0 for 5 every day.
