Ooops time is 8:07 pm...........lol

 

Hoping for another big game from DeGrom.

 

We can only hope, Cubbies or Mets, I just want the Jays out. Show a little class for a team that hasn't been in the show for 22 years.

 

Sometimes it seems like what Met fans know about baseball you could fit in a thimble. Besides I honestly think most Met fans just jumped on the band wagon this year.

 

Yeah they really know baseball don't they.

 

...Mets fans are nearly as neurotic as Sox fans.

 

Mets with the early 1-0 lead.

 

Damn, DeGrom isn't fooling anybody, 2 runs in already in the bottom of the 1st on 4 hits.

 

...you just never know about this game...2 of the game's best pitchers throwing BP so far.

 

Both starters out Mets up 3-2 in the 7th inning on a HR by Murphy.

 

I can't see either the Bums or Mets, beating the Cubs......

sure I'd love to see Mattingly finally win a W.S. Ring, but he could be winning a one way ticket home, (tho' the press will call for his head, I really doubt he's going to get the axe, IF the Bums make the NLCS, and there's a good chance, Donnie stays on......

This team without Ramirez, and Puig now in check, Kemp another whiner gone, now WTF is up Ethier's ass, I bet he's trade bait at the end of the year.....

this just posted: (earlier in the game): Bums Prima Donna's over paid smart asses:
The broadcast just showed Andre Ethier shouting at Don Mattingly in the dugout. Either flew out to left with a man on second and one out, so the speculation was that Mattingly wanted Ethier to try to move the runner over, and Ethier took exception to that. WTF???????????

 

Its all over, it'll be the Mets & the Cubs. A 300M dollar payroll & nothing to show for it, I hate to say it but I believe Mattingly will be gone.

 

So let me get this straight. The Dodgers overhaul their front office by hiring the Tampa Bay & Oakland geniuses. Pay out all that money and make trades, win the division with HFA. Got tow big horses like Greinke & Kershaw. End result get their asses kicked again. Seeing Magic in the crowd, man looked awful un happy. Mattingly will probably be made the scapegoat for the loss and be fired.

 

Guggenheims Grandsons investment firm, has more than fkd up MLB in numerous ways. Buying like money grows on trees, in Chavez Ravine, home of the LAPD Academy, Griffith Park, The GP Observatory, The LA Zoo, The Greek Theater, and Hollywood Bowl. At the top lays Chavez. Separated from Downtown Hi-Rises by the double decker I-10 Harbor Freeway, (from sea to shining sea, LA to Jacksonville). This firm is going to fk up MLB for decades to come, I fear.

One - they paid 1/3 of their 300 Mil$$ payroll, a Mil (plus/minus 1/2 Mil $$), to stay at home, and worse: to play on another Team on the Bums dime. Literally paying players to move off of the Roster, yet pay them to not play, and/or numerous players have been traded for, then DFA'd a month of two later. As well as big dollar money on the DL.

The Bums paid these guys the noted amounts to play on other Teams: (see 'old friends' on link)

Hector Olivera, traded to the Braves; the Bums are on the hook for His 28 Million $$ signing bonus.

Kemp, 18 MIl, this year alone, and 3.5 Mil for 2 more years, to be a Padre.

Haren, 10 Mil

Wilson 10 Mil

Brandon League 9.5

Dee Gordon 2.5 (see URL link)

Barney 2.0 Mil
Uribe 2.0 Mil

Brandon McCarthy, damn good the Yanx let Him go for 17.0 Mil the Bums ignorantly threw at Him. Unproven to qualify for that fat a contract IMO. One of those, "you don't care to see Him return next year either."
stick a fork in Him, he started out nicely, then blew it literally.

Ryu 4.5 Mil
Arroyo 4.5 Mil

Erisbel Arruebarrena 5.0 Mil, suspended for a year, reduced to 30 days, Bums placed him on the restricted list, and He can't collect a dime, then upon the 1st day back, DFA'd. Fat.

NTM- with open season on Cuban Players, they don't flinch to purchase a commodity player, who can't pass a physical neither. Friedman has his hands full. The Owners, are doing what all teams may like to do,

It's unfair to off players with $$$, then turn around and buy another top dollar free agent, tho' this year they had already acquired enough to stink to high hell, and not land a big FA, since their SP staff turned out to have only a solid #1-2. The Cuban, Pan-Am, and Japanese players market can be cornered/corralled and bought with money.

Then ya' got Time Warner Bros. Cable, who paid over 2/3rd of this years Payroll with TV revenue contract big bucks for the next 20 years, again, this is going to ruin MLB, or change the game where we no longer know it???????........... I hope to hell not........!!

Bird has proven he can hit and play first. Yet all players need seasoning, some don't, Tex pay to play elsewhere? or keep?

Ellsbury will probably never be worth half his contract, (I hope to be proven wrong).

No one's at 2nd, to speak of, other than Ref, so give him a shot)

I meant to paste this Bums Payroll on the previous post. Take a close look at "old friends", as well as the DL, or Minor Leaguer's (rather over stocked players) who have been optioned off, or DFA'd, especially from the 13 player trade, and lets never forget McCarthy, thank God he left de bronx.....
