JJ Hardy is still an awesome defensive shortstop, but fuck he can't hit his way out of a paper bag anymore. If they hadn't extended him Manny would be at short by now.

Droford 09-18-2015 10:00 PM

Of course I say that and he hits a home run tonight

Bad News Gertner 09-18-2015 10:11 PM

Woooo one more for the good guys and the Yanks lose! Jays now up 4.5!

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAKING!

Jays have won 26 in a row when scoring 5 or more runs.

<font color=goldenrod>Turn on stream that has the Mets radio announcers instead of the terrible FOX guys.

First thing I see is Beltran's HR flying into right field for a 3-0 lead with nobody out in the top of the first.

Turn off stream.</font>

Vasgergian is cool, I like him

Evil Vito 09-19-2015 01:56 PM

<font color=goldenrod>I liked him when he would be in-studio on MLB Tonight and stuff. As an announcer he's just kinda boring I feel.</font>

Matty V is a great host. Not too keen on his play by play, however when he was in San Diego he was an absolute clown. He's much better now that he's a "national" voice.

Evil Vito 09-20-2015 10:47 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Said it a couple weeks ago and I'll say it again. Fuck Matt Harvey. All this fucking bullshit with the innings. Waiting until September to say he should be on a limit even though he spent all spring saying he wanted to pitch every 5 days with no restrictions.

Then to have a temper tanrum in the dugout when he gets pulled after 5 shutout innings even though it's only being done to accommodate him and his agent.

Just done with this bullshit. Fucking get rid of him this offseason.</font>

Evil Vito 09-20-2015 11:23 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Mets had a 9.5 game lead with 18 to play. It's now a 6 game lead with 13 to play. Mets have lost 4 of their last 5 games. Nats have won 7 of 8.

But hey they have the Braves coming in! No problem, easy wins, right? So let's just toss our 2 worst starters against them and then have Logan Verrett do a spot-start for deGrom because it's totally a great idea to conserve your pitchers for 2016 when you're in the middle of a MOTHERFUCKING PENNANT RACE and have the 2nd place team heating up.</font>

Evil Vito 09-20-2015 11:24 PM

<font color=goldenrod>I am fucking done if they blow this division. Like seriously done. I will burn every piece of Mets clothing I own (and I own a lot) and broadcast it for TPWWForums.com if it happens.</font>

Bret Hitman Cecil was fucking godly tonight...

I was saying they NEEDED to take one this series, they're in tough to take 2/3 because the bats are sleeping and the bullpen is in flux. If the bats wake up, I think they'll take another one, but hard breaking balls seem to be the key right now to shutting them down.

It's safe to say that Aaron Sanchez is not ready for prime time, hopefully he can get his confidence back... I think Cecil coming in and bailing him out could possibly save this poor bastard's career. Will probably give him a feeling of security to know he's got some veterans that can save his hyde.

NEW YORK -- Yogi Berra, the Hall of Fame catcher renowned as much for his dizzying malapropisms as his record 10 World Series championships with the New York Yankees, has died. He was 90.

Berra died of natural causes Tuesday at his home in New Jersey, according to Dave Kaplan, the director of the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center.

"While we mourn the loss of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather, we know he is at peace with Mom," Berra's family said in a statement released by the museum. "We celebrate his remarkable life, and are thankful he meant so much to so many. He will truly be missed."

Matthews: The unforgettable Yogi Berra
Among the late Yogi Berra's lasting contributions to baseball and America is this: He kept a nation of fans smiling.
Berra's death came exactly 69 years after his major league debut. On Sept. 22, 1946, Berra homered in his second major league plate appearance in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Athletics.

Short, squat and with a homely mug, Berra was a legendary Yankee who helped the team reach 14 World Series during his 18 seasons in the Bronx.

Berra played in more World Series games than any other major leaguer and was a three-time American League Most Valuable Player. A 15-time All-Star, Berra was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972.

But his name appears almost as often in Bartlett's Famous Quotations as it does in baseball's record book.

"It ain't over 'til it's over" is among eight "Yogi-isms" included in Bartlett's.

"When I'm sittin' down to dinner with the family, stuff just pops out. And they'll say, 'Dad, you just said another one.' And I don't even know what the heck I said," Berra insisted.

Yeah. Sad day for all baseball fans in general. Hits Yankee fans the hardest.

R.I.P. Yogi. You'll forever be missed. :'(

<font color=goldenrod>Just saw someone on Twitter link to a potential scenario that would see a 6-way tie for the 2nd AL Wild Card:

Teams: Astros, Twins, Angels, Indians, Orioles, Mariners
Goal: They finish 83-79

Remaining Schedule and Results:
(80-72) Astros: vs Angels (0-1), vs Rangers (2-1), @ Mariners (0-3), @ Diamondbacks (1-2)
(77-73) Twins: vs Indians (1-1), @ Tigers (1-2), @ Indians (2-2), vs Royals (2-1)
(77-74) Angels: @ Astros (1-0), vs Mariners (1-2), vs Athletics (2-1), @ Rangers (2-2)
(74-75) Indians: @ Twins (1-1), @ Royals (2-1), vs Twins (2-2), vs Red Sox (3-0), vs Tigers (1-0)
(74-76) Orioles: @ Nationals (1-1), @ Red Sox (3-0), vs Blue Jays (3-1), vs Yankees (2-1)
(74-77) Mariners: @ Royals (1-1), @ Angels (2-1), vs Astros (3-0), vs Athletics (3-0)

---

Close to zero chance of it happening but fuck it would make for an entertaining October.</font>

Only one American League team is technically eliminated right now (Oakland) as opposed to eight in the National League.

<font color=goldenrod>3-6 homestand including losing a series to the fucking Braves.

The Mets are in full-on tank mode. I will be surprised if DON'T collapse at this point.</font>

Bad News Gertner 09-23-2015 10:36 PM

Marcus Stroman is fucking incredible

Ol Dirty Dastard 09-23-2015 10:56 PM

JD with a timely 3/4 performance (well mostly a nice double in the 8th to get things started) and Russel Martin continues to kill the Yankees. Awesome awesome stuff tonight. And Stroman was great tonight like Gertner said.

I wasn't sold on bringing him back as a starter at first and easing him back into things in the bullpen for a few weeks, but he's been on fire and may take over for Buehrle come October once he gets his 200+ innings for the 700th consecutive season....

It's not a maybe, at this point unless something dramatically changes (always possible) Stroman is a lock, as John Gibbons has stated.

<font color=goldenrod>Washington had won 7 of 8 before running into the Orioles. They're still more than capable of beating the bad teams left on their schedule.

The Mets meanwhile are playing like a team that has already clinched and they sleepwalked through this last homestand. And if the Braves series showed anything, it's that these second division clubs aren't just going to lie down. The Reds and Phillies may suck but playing the first place team from New York is going to be their World Series.

The Mets SHOULD be able to win 5 of 7 on the road and make whatever the Nats do moot, but I don't know if it will actually play out that way. I could easily see this coming down to the last weekend where the Mets will be hosting the Nats and the Mets will have all of the pressure to avoid completing the collapse on them. Where have I heard that before?</font>

Stroman, Price, Dickey and Buerhle are my choices. Estrada is a disaster waiting to happen.

Droford 09-25-2015 11:09 AM

Orioles are only 3.5 back with 10 to go. They have the best record of any wild card contender over last 10 games. Feels like they could pull a KC last year and sneak in.

Why do you say that? He kind of reminds me of Buehrle, pitch to contact, needs a good defence.

Emperor Smeat 09-25-2015 01:19 PM

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">THIS JUST IN: Pete Rose met w/ commissioner Rob Manfred today.

According to ESPN, very unlikely the new comish will overturn the ban but its been something Pete Rose has done whenever a new comish is in charge.
