>Can only score with le juiced ball man 'Solve' Hamels indeed
Isaiah Lee
Mets offense would be good if we didnt have Cano shitting up the middle of the lineup and keeping our best young hitter out of position or on the bench.
Jacob Taylor
He honestly had no idea
Eli Martinez
He's a Jew Yorker, he knows nothing. Like making his buildings plane resistant. Or having an attractive sky line.
Mason Powell
lifelongs are sad, bitter, cancerous faggots. I love it.
Easton Turner

kek and you think skyline is two words
Ian Cruz
baez OWNED by the deGROMINATOR slider!
Wyatt Young
Only four more years.
Ian Ross
But you're the one in this thread
Josiah Rodriguez
Why the fuck would you trade for him post ped violation
Thomas Diaz
I didn't fucking trade for him, why are you asking me
Owen Scott
>if we didnt have Cano >I didn't fucking trade for him >we
Easton Robinson
And give up your best prospect in the process. Just absorbing Cano's contract should have been enough to get Diaz. Instead the Mets gave up their best prospect just so the Mariners would eat more money and take back Bruce/Swarzak. And the Mets would literally be a better team if they had Bruce instead of Cano and just shelled out the money for Kimbrel.
Jackson Bailey
it's a figure of speech you pathetic goon
Joshua Jenkins
The fun of rooting for the Mets is rooting for them in spite of all the retarded things they do. the >cubes just suck
launch angle babby, and teams are figuring that whole shtick out. he's a career .237 hitter - nobody rated him until he started hitting homers Im happy for La Stella - starting and thriving in LA - but exchanging him for De Scalso was bad in hindsight
Now see here good sir, I have warned you a many times about posting this here slanderous image of Sir Cishek. You must be compelled to desist the scurrilous activity and campaign of lies.
Chase Reyes
What's wrong with posting images of your relief pitchers?
Joseph Moore
>your I see your little game, you won't get away with it.
Jack Smith
>Im happy for La Stella - starting and thriving in LA - but exchanging him for De Scalso was bad in hindsight The fact the Cubs gave La Stella away for nothing is one of the biggest blunders of Theo. I'm still betting that he was the one who cheated with Zobrits' wife. There's no other logical explanation for why it happened.

of course cusb fans won't complain about juiced balls now
Oliver Peterson
Lucky number MAD
Bentley Lee
I can understand why Baez is pumped. Losing to a shitty ass Mets team. Cubs should have been able to easily just score 10 runs every game this series, but they suck right now.
Why have a clearly out of form Lugo face Baez? With 2 on bases then recall him when the damage is done. Am I missing something here?
Mason Brown
They overreacted to a single season dip in power from a part time player. If you look at most of LaStella's career, I don't think what he's doing this year is some huge shock. He slugged .472 two years ago.
Jackson Moore
Lugo is their guy. If he is fresh coming in, you've got to let him try to work out of trouble. You can't just pitch everyone any time there is some traffic or you'll burn the pen out.
Leo Collins
Jeff Wilpon is the dumbest motherfucker alive
Jace Anderson
am i gay? yes
Hudson Parker
You must love your cubbies
Luke Young
Where were you when the Mest were reduced to Who tier banter after Baez BTFO?
Isaac Ortiz
Because bleached Mexican flag man, the Mest don't have a bullpen and Lugo was fucking retard for throwing a hanging slider to Baez when he was 0-2.
Hudson Parker
Fair enough. New to watching baseball but I've taken a liking to it. It's comfy as fuck.
Matthew Nelson
Heyward running AMOK on these bases
John Gray
