Excuse me, but where is the euphoria in this thread over this acquisition?

I have yet to gear up my in-season form. Should take me two or three spring training broadcasts.

IF everybody stays healthy, that is looking to be one heck of a pitching rotation.

Meanwhile, there is this that ought to put the fear of God into you. Perhaps inspire you to give generously to several charities. :ohmy:

Meanwhile, there is this that also ought to put the fear of God into you. Perhaps inspire you to pray a little.

This was interesting in that it appeared he was not just talking about having four managers and four general managers in his fourth season about to begin.
Notice the order: Change the culture, then stability comes. I wonder if he was talking about the bling and temper tantrums.

The sweet sound of Gary Cohen's voice ...!!! :woohoo::woohoo:

And the sweet sound of Steve Cohen's money, rustling and crinkling as it gets counted out to pay for quality players! :)

Like Robumson Cano ....

I can tell you've been hurt
By that look on your face, [boy]
Some [other] guy[s] brought sad
Into your happy world

You need [Mets] love, but you're
Afraid that if you give in
Someone else will come along
And sock it to you again

One bad apple [Cano] don't
Spoil the whole bunch, [boy]
Oh, give it one more try
Before you give up on [massive free agency spending]

The Mets are 60 years old this season.

"In St. Louis for the opening game, nearly a dozen Mets were stuck in an elevator in the team hotel and, for better or worse, rescued, in time to lose."

It was an omen. :)

Indeed, they gave up nearly a dozen runs in their first ever game :p

11-4 Cardinals in the end.

This is going to be interesting, with some guys in the NL resisting being assigned to the DH role. (Others will love it, of course.)

Who wants to play a fake position? That makes you a fake player. Bah!

How many millions does Old Fart Cano make again?

How many millions it might be, it's exactly that many millions too much. I just saw an infield pop drop between him and Guillorme where he didn't even bother to try and make two steps to his right to catch it.

I hate that guy and his rancid, bloated corpse......

Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel. :p

DeGrom out till June....ugh, bad start to the season.

Oh well. Maybe next year.

:closedeyes:

That is why I like my Raccoons. The rotation has the common decency to get them a big enough lead to stumble into the playoffs before everybody goes on the DL...

Thanks again to the Mets for not only taking on all that salary but giving my team actual prospects in return! That took a real load off our mid-market backs!
