The Mets - Same crap as the last crap

[SAllen2556]

As a Tiger fan, i understand your pain. I always thought the Cardinals would be a good second team - though they're down this year. They always seem legitimately good - unlike the Yankees who just buy good teams to mask their incompetence. The Twins have always been a well run organization too, especially for their market size.

I don't think the Mets are out of it just yet though. Check back at the all-star break.

I love the fact that the Mets are doing poorly.......but so are my Phillies.

My adopted second team is the Orioles. They have some great young talent and I wish I could see them more on tv. Rutschman and Gunner are players to watch. Glad I have them both on my fantasy team.

Nola seems to be very up and down this season. June has come, and Schwarber is back to hitting home runs at least. His average being under the Mendoza line is less than ideal. It also doesn't help that he's forced to play the field, with Harper having to DH. The Braves have an easy lock on the division, but the Phillies could get hot, down the stretch, and snag a wildcard.

I agree. I don't count them out. I will always root for the Phillies......even after I retire and move to Maryland (Calvert County area) or Florida (outside of Clearwater).

Clearwater area would be nice. My wife would never see me. I would live at Spring Training and out on a boat fishing and crabbing the rest of the year.

The Twins are a perennial .500 team, at best, and they've lost their last 17 playoff games in a row which has to be a record of futility.

They look better because their mediocrity is usually enough to be in post-season contention, since their division is so weak.

As a Braves' fan, I'm loving this...even though Atlanta is not as strong as they were with Freeman and Swanson...defense has really suffered.

Braves have also had numerous injuries, but, at least Acuna is at full health again.

I sort of think the Mets could sign Lou Gehrig circa 1925 and he would break a leg and miss the next 3 seasons rehabbing. Just how it goes.
