35 Years of Misery & Counting
The way you see Max Scherzer and Chris Bassist talking to these pitchers on the TV screen, you have to wonder how much effect exactly do they have on a Mets pitching staff that is off to a great start so far.
Bullpen is becoming more and more worrisome (esp. Seth Lugo) and I don’t why Buck keeps feeding us Luis Guillermo who can’t hot a lick, but I’ll take another series win.
I would’ve loved having Marte in our lineup, but all the talking of us possibly giving up too much (namely, Brandon Nimmo) for him led me to believe that it was never going to happen.
Hey, considering that Lagares is near the end of his contract, he has every reason to be motivated to play well now. Either way, we’ll take it.
This time, Wilmer Flores is actually leaving.
The infielder, who has spent his entire career, dating back to 2008, with the Mets, agreed Wednesday to a one-year deal with the Diamondbacks with a team option, according to ESPN.
Since 2013, Flores had been a Mets fan favorite, posting a .262 batting average and being a reliable right-handed bat, oftentimes off the bench.
The 27-year-old famously cried on the field during a 2015 game when he believed he had been traded. The deal fell through, and it only endeared him more to the fanbase.
This time around, it might not be just Flores’ tears flowing.
I’m happy Wilmer got a new deal, but I still think we could’ve found some way to keep him here.
After the miraculous comeback today, my first thought was on which team did we last beat in a series? And it was the Diamondbacks, of course. Considering the pitiful losing streak we’ve been on and the horrible offensive numbers we’ve been compiling of late, I’d say that having Arizona’s number doesn’t amount to jack.

Huge sweep, at home no less. And all without their best hitter. Great pitching by Noah and a huge pinch-hit HR by Cabrera, our MVP this season. Now we got the lowly Marlins coming up…let’s keep taking care of business.
