The heat death of the universe will occur before THAT roster finishes 79-83...

It's January and I still compare the back end of the Mets rotation to the back end of the Raccoons rotation and think, eh, the fuzzy Critters (45-54) aren't so bad!

And the Mets already had their once-a-decade nine starts of semi-brilliance from their often-waived, more-often-injured 30-year-old left-hander with lots of AAA experience when Lucchesi went 4-0 with a 2.89 ERA. The Coons? Cameron Argenziano, 30-year-old lefty, 5-1 with a 2.32 ERA in nine starts right now. I have no illusions that it will last (didn't last the last five call-ups either). In fact, I am dangling him for the most menial prospect right now. The Mets? THAT GUY'S GOTTA BE IN THE ROTATION!

How can people that get paid millions for looking at pitchers and analyzing pitchers and seeing those numbers (or lack of) from Lucchesi the last four seasons expect anything from him? How? Why? I don't pretend to have any advanced wisdom in baseball analytics, but come on...!!

Brrr. Will be a lousy season for the Metsies.
