TELL MEATLOAF TO SHUT UP!


"Two out of three ain't bad????"

Meatloaf, shut up, we entirely disagree.

Not when you win the first two games, are red hot, and the 2018 Cy Young award winner is on the mound for game 3 - but lose.

Then winning two out of 3 sucks.

The too-hard throw by Alonso that allowed 2 unearned runs wasn't that bad, deGrom almost caught it, but Keith Hernandez makes that throw correctly in his sleep.

The dropped throw by Ramos from deGrom that allowed the 3rd run on that same fateful play was inexcusable.

It was, however, a great, great sign that Familia struck out the side in the 8th - bodes really well for the Mets down the stretch.

Edwin Diaz cannot hang sliders, as he did again, this time to Victor Robles.  How can a guy who has fanned 73 guys in 45 innings be substandard in 2019?  11 homers in just 45 innings, that's how.  He has to slow up his long balls allowed rate.

He needs to relax - Hansel Robles was a similar HR-prone pitcher for the Mets during his tenure, allowing far too many homers - but as an Angel, he has allowed just 6 in 89 innings!

My advice to Edwin Diaz?  Relax...we love you, Sugar...just relax.  It will all fall into place if you do.

Guys who can fan a crazy high 73 in 45 innings have too much talent to defeat themselves.  Relax.

We still have confidence in you.  Relax.

Oh, and McNeil now has 31 doubles - and 54 RBIs.  Even batting lead off, he has an amazing 39 RBIs in 53 games in June, July, and August.  Wow.

Let's start another win streak - 9 out of the next 10 ain't bad.

Tell me...

we would win 2 out of 3 and...

deGrom would not give up an unearned run...

and the game we would lose would be the one we lost...

and I would tell you to stop smoking peyote.

For cryin' out loud, the team is playing like a bat out of hell and you can't enjoy the new atmosphere of paradise (by the dashboard light). :)

I want the team to win every game left - and I won't be satisfied with any less!

And I am refusing to eat meatloaf until the Mets make the playoffs.

In reality, if they can win 2 out of every 3 remaining games, we will be in good shape. I think that is entirely doable.

You two need to eat cake.

Tom Brennan said...

I eat a lot of cake, and it hasn't helped the Mets win for 2 1/2 years. I peeled back the layers and figured it out, though.

Mack Ade said...

You're right. I saw your pic on FB. You do eat a lot of cake. ;)

Too much cake LOL

The Mets have lacking in three areas since the 80's, Fun Da Mentals. Hopefully they will try to shore this are up. In the meantime this Sunday "Brooklyn committed its first error in eight games, snapping a season-high seven-game errorless streak."

Let us hope that we can move forward now lamenting not winning every series, and complaining that we can only win 9 out of our last 10...Stevie Wonder has a song. "I Wish"....
