Has Anyone Noticed That....

The Mets are winning every day?

They have a rookie of the year  candidate who may be better than Judge?

They have several young guys who are blossoming?

They have great starting pitching?

They are winning the hearts and minds of NY?

They are better than us?

I missed it and I hope you did also.

ALL CAPS HAS BEEN WATCHING THIS DEVELOPMENT FOR MONTHS NOW.

WHY?...BECAUSE I KEEP MY FRIENDS CLOSE, AND MY ENEMIES CLOSER.

AS MOST KNOW ON THIS SITE, MY HATE FOR THE METS IS AS HOT AS THE SUN ITSELF.

WE ARE 39 GAMES OVER .500, BUT SOMEHOW WE ARE CHASING THE METS, (AND THEIR ABHORRENT, MOSTLY BANDWAGON FANS).

THEY HAVE WILD MOMENTUM AT HOME NOW, AND I MUST SAY, THEY ARE TRYING SO HARD.

WHEN ALONSO RUNS THE BASES, I NOTICED HE TRIES TO RUN FASTER AND HARDER THAN HE CAN ACTUALLY RUN- HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING TO FALL FORWARD...IT'S NOBLE, BUT HE LOOKS RIDICULOUS...THAT'S HOW HARD THEY ARE TRYING.

FOR THE METS TO BE THE TALK OF THE TOWN RIGHT NOW, BOGGLES THE MIND. (HELPED BY THE BIASED SPORTS MEDIA OF NY)-OH HOW I HATE ALL OF TODAY'S BIASED MEDIA- DON'T GET ME STARTED...

HAL AND COOP'S STRATEGY OF "BARGAIN HUNTING" OUR WAY TO A WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP IS FOOLS GOLD.

I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW WE CAN GET PAST ALL THESE TEAMS WITH BETTER STARTING PITCHING THAN WE HAVE.

WHEN OUR OPPONENTS DOLE OUT THEIR #3 STARTERS... A CLEVINGER, A GERRIT COLE, A HYUN-JIN-RYU, OR GOD FORBID A MARCUS STROMAN ....WHO DO WE DOLE OUT?

FUCKING CC?

CRAPXTON?

HAPP?

BACK TO THE METS.

THEY HAVE SUCH MOMENTUM RIGHT NOW, THAT I AM ACTUALLY SCARED OF THEM MAKING THE PLAYOFFS, AND MAKING SOME NOISE.

THAT IS HORRIFYING, COMING FROM WHERE THEY WERE A MONTH AGO.

I GUESS WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM CREDIT ALTHOUGH ALL OF THOSE TEAMS HOVERING AROUND THEM IN THE WILD CARD ARE REALLY UNDERWHELMING.

PHILLIES, NATS, CUBS, CARDS, ARE ALL KIND OF THE SAME TEAM, (UNDERWHELMING WITH MAJOR FLAWS).

THEN THERE IS THE LOWER TIER BREWERS, SAN FRAN., AND ARIZONA (FUCK SAN FRAN FOR THINKING THEY HAD A CHANCE AND NOT DEALING MADBUM....THEY SUCK).

THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS WE ARE 39 GAMES OVER .500 AND I AM NOT HAPPY.

I DON'T LIKE THE DIRECTION I SEE THAT'S HEADED OUR WAY.

OUR LEADERS HAD 2 YEARS TO FIX OUR SHORTCOMINGS, SINCE OUR SURPRISING RUN IN 2017, AND THEY FAILED.

THEIR ANSWER WAS JAMES PAXTON, AND THAT WAS IT.

HARD TO BELIEVE.

Don't worry, Ca$hmoney has a plan.

Unfortunately it does not include winning the World Series.

Totally agree, ALL-CAPS.

In fact, what really happened was that almost the entire 2017-2018 team collapsed in broken shards and was replaced. That was done with surprising skill, but it was still pretty abominable.

And yes, Virginia, the Mets DO have a better team than we have now, especially for a short haul.

Their only real failings are a lack of depth and a lack of bullpen, but neither need matter much for a hot two months. Contrary to what Coops seems to believe, pens are the easiest things to replace, and everybody's seems unreliable now with Super Happy Fun Ball.

The Mets starting pitching could easily take them all the way. It's unlikely. But it could. The Yankees heart, hustle, grit, and "next-man-up" won't mean beans without some good starts.

Here's what I notice about the Mets:

1. Record, 65-60. Same as Phillies (a great team?). Games behind Atlanta and even Washington. Admission: I am a Nationals' fan. Their pitching really, really, REALLY sucks. They've still given up fewer runs than the Mets (in the same # of games).

2. Last 10 games, Mets record 6-4. ATL and WA are 7-3 in same period.

3. Mets have been scored upon 588 times in 125 games. Yankees have yielded 604 runs in 127 games. NYY avg = 4.77, NYM avg = 4.70. AND: Our pitching sucks! So what does theirs do, then?

4. Mets are within 2 GB of the Wild Card. So what?

5. It's been demonstrably proven that the average Mets' fan has an IQ of 39, which is below that of the avg. NYYs fan (43.75).

6. Yankees are 39 games above .500, Mets are 5. You want to compare these 2 teams?

7. OK, the Yankees have ONE built-in advantage. They get to play the Orioles. A lot of times. So remove that 17-and-2 record with the Bawlmores. The Yankess are still 24 games above .500.

I'm having trouble getting whatever it is that's so great about the Mets in focus. Maybe you live in Queens? If so, well.....MOVE!

Hey, hey, hey, pal-ly: MY IQ is a solid 44. I've been tested!

Mets got pitching. Pitching is everything. They may not have quite ENOUGH pitching. But they have pitching.

As the song goes..."Try to remember one day in September" back about 2003, before the last of the Staff that Stick Built walked away from the Bronx.

The Yanks had slumps back then, too, Super Team or no Super Team. Even when everybody wasn't taught to swing for the fences on every pitch. Sometimes, they just went flat.

And you know what would happen then?

Andy Pettitte or David Cone or David Wells or Roger Clemens or the namesake of our Peerless Leader himself, El Duque, would go jogging out to the mound, and throw a gem. The 45 excellent middle relievers we had would follow up when he got tired, and then of course, there was The Great One.

The anemic batting production of 2, or 3, or 4 runs that day would hold up. End of crisis.

Now, the pitching staff on this team, CAUSES crises.
