Does anyone have a livegame thread or free radio link to met games?
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

Matt Harvey is AMAZING. Lot of fun to watch him pitch.

Wow. Almost two years before posts.

That should speak volumes about the franchise!

Hey,I hope the Mets still exist. I will be visiting friends/relatives on LI and going to a Mets game later this month. But the Mets don't seem to exist on this board.

Baseball was my favorite sport when I was a kid--but I think that changed after the Mets won it all in 1986. As you become older--it's difficult to catch all of those games and the game itself and the Mets organization since they got into $ problems have been just not fun. I watch periods of games--I know all of the guys- they have the semblance of a nice young rotation but it's just a terribly run franchise. Im not a fan of the coach--the GM had his hay day and the owners are not good baseball people. The Mets more than anything need an exciting young player who people want to see. It's not David Wright and unfortunately wont be Matt Harvey. We'll see I guess. These big contracts in baseball that go 7-10 years are the worst sports investment. The Mets kept Wright to a reasonable one(and of course he has been mediocre after signing)

Mets only team to have a positive differential and not be atleast 4 game s over .500

In the east every team that was green BUT the mets was in the playoffs.

For example St Louis ws only a +16 yet won 90 games vs the Mets + 11 and their 79. 1-2 different players couldve made the Mets a legit playoff team.

Mets will be in the playoffs next year or at least be in the hunt. They have way too much geat young pitching not to be. Also David Wright and Harvey(2 best players) were hurt practically the whole season

No word about the Mets?

They have one helluva baseball team. Theyve been up and coming. The pitching the defense the chemistry its all really really good. This will be a team that wins 93-96 games or so and advances well into the playoffs.

The Mets pitching staff is so good its scary. deGroom Harvey Syndergaard. I dont know what happened to Niese--hes fallen apart in the last 3 games but Im sure he will be fine. Colon has been lucky but also for the most part stable and an innings horse and Gee is a great 5th man(in this case 6th) and this discounts that Zach Wheeler is not here.

If we can get Wright back seemingly healthy and add some more hitting we will be SCARY in the playoffs. You can send Colon Gee and Niese to the bullpen and go with a 3 man rotation of Harvey Syndergaard and De Groom and that will be unmatched in baseball. We need 1 MORE big hitter. Id love to see if we can go after Reddick and Vogt from Oakland. The Mets still have 4 young pitchers in the minors with good rankings--we could help restock the A's frontline pitching.

If Wheeler comes back OK, and Matz is for real, it should end up as the best staff in baseball, barring injury.

You are right...and we all know it- they have to get some hitting.

Not sure Wright can be counted on- back issues are a death sentence for a hitter.

Its a disgrace what we have going. Incredible pitching and the worst hitting imaginable. Unfair all the way around. The owners wont spend much and when they do its been a bust every time.

The one things with 162 games season if youre close you can go on a roll even later in the year--youre still in it. We have an infusion of bats and hopefully we add 1 more.

Collins is still terrible at understanding when to take out your SP. Syndergard was done after 5 and leaving him in cost the game.

What would the Mets record be if the team they have now started the season? 35-40 games +? They havent been pitching well and still winning. Hopefully we can buckle down we get Harvey back tonight and can go back to giving up 2 + runs a game.

Injuries, PEDs...you are still missing Matz and some of the relief pitchers who played a roll early on.

I've never seen a team get hit with so many problems...Duda is hurting now, too.

The fact that they are in the position they now find themselves in is arguably one of the most amazing stories we've seen in NY for a long time.

I was alive for the 1973 Tug McGraw "You got to believe" run that ended in that WS loss to Oakland...this team has the chance to surpass that one in some ways because the other team at least had the foundation from a WS championship still intact, and never had the major injury issues.

Best case dramatic scenario (for me)... Wilmer Flores hits a walk off HR against the Yankees in game 5 as the Mets take the series 4-1.
