Met Wishes for 2017

bmfc1 Dec 31 2016 08:01 PM

Post your Mets-related wish for 2017. Just one (I'm a stingy genie). It can't be "that the Mets win the World Series" or anything related to making the playoffs, record, winning a certain number of games/not losing a certain number of games, finishing first, making it to the Series, that there is a Mets parade, etc., et al. It has to be specific, such as: That David Wright does not go on the DL all season (that's mine). It can be personal, about you or your family. Kapeesh? Do it! And best Met wishes to you for 2017.

That none of the remaining Sunday home games are switched to night games for ESPN.

Ceetar Dec 31 2016 11:39 PM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

Duda stays healthy all season.

Zvon Jan 01 2017 01:18 AM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

Conforto rakes like Mex used to.

Centerfield Jan 01 2017 01:34 AM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

Ditto on Conforto. But since it's taken I'll go with Harvey returning to form.

d'Kong76 Jan 01 2017 01:51 AM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

Conforto to be huge. Huge, I tell ya! Duda too. Huge, I tell ya! That guy Brue too. Huge, I tell ya!

Mets sweep a double header in Washington on the day Trump is impeached.

All of our starters make it through the year and reach their potential!

The triumphant return, and ascension, of Zack Wheeler.

DocTee Jan 01 2017 03:17 PM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

that the organization comes to its senses and adopts "Meet the Mets" as it's signature seventh-inning stretch sing along song.

A Boy Named Seo Jan 01 2017 05:37 PM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

+1 for bmfc1 and JCL's. I wouldn't even know what to expect out of David Wright if he appeared in > 145 games, but what a thing that would be. I'm going to wish that no Met acts like an asshole in 2k17. Fulfillment of that would result in no arrests, no suspensions, no mistreated WAGs/significant others, nobody acting like a jagoff Papelbon. Honorable dudes, no assholes.

smg58 Jan 01 2017 05:42 PM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

That I get to Citi for the first time since becoming a dad.

30 starts apiece for the Big Four. If that happens, everything else will fall into place.

I think it's much more likely that Trump is assassinated than impeached, though the odds of either one happening are extremely slim. Now if Trump was a Democrat, the band of shameless hypocrites that is the GOP would probably have the articles of impeachment already prepared. And then just to make an even bigger spectacle of the whole thing, they'd probably serve those papers on Trump on national TV about two seconds after he's sworn in as President.

Mets Guy in Michigan Jan 01 2017 11:06 PM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

I'd like to see the Mets lock at least one of the stud starters into a longer-term deal. Nothing crazy, because we know that pitchers are fragile. But I don't want to hear talk about them trading them off because we can't afford them. Also, is there a chance we can keep some of the nasty political rhetoric out of the baseball threads? There are at least two political threads in the non-baseball forum dedicated to this kind of stuff. It's starting to bleed over and I bet I'm not the only one who would like a respite. Am I the only one? Thanks!

Tom Seaver 50th Anniversary Weekend, celebrating the debut of the greatest player in franchise history.

Am I the only one? I'm with you - I was about to write a nasty response to one of them but i refrained as we already have that in politics threads. keep it there, or risk the baseball forum becoming unreadable. I'll wish for d'Arnaud or Plawecki garnering some MVP votes and someone finally claiming that job for the long term.

I generally ignore individual awards, but a Cy Young and Silver Slugger for Syndergaard would be awesome.

Ashie62 Jan 02 2017 09:21 PM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

deGrom Harvey Matz and Wheeler pitch well.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 02 2017 10:32 PM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

I gotta be honest I think I will be rooting harder for Trump to lose than the Mets to win in 2017.

batmagadanleadoff Jan 02 2017 11:53 PM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

Oh and I forgot: I'd also like for the Mets to celebrate the anniversary of Seaver's debut and also paint the walls white. Or toothpasty mint.

So if you're banning, I'm with JCL. I agree it shouldn't be conducted in this section but people are people and they will do what they do. It's not a crime that such a discussion took place in the baseball section. I ran a message board a few times. You cannot control people, only contain them. So move on, nothing to see here. Except maybe those minty white walls if Batmags gets his wish. It will be 50 years. Oh my gosh. They gotta do something super special!

Zvon Jan 04 2017 04:25 AM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

I doubt you get that wish Batmags but here's something, a small consolation wish, a pic that, as far as I can recall (which usually isn't much), I've yet to share. I hope this isn't a photo you shared already that I saved eons ago. I created a folder for all mintwall pics recently and while sorting I came across this one the other day. I remembered all the other ones I'm finding (like with Cleon, Goosen, and Rocky) but not this one. Hope it's new to you too. Happy Anniversary to the mintwhitetoothpasty colored walls!

More of a regret. I wish the Mets had kept Colon and canned Jay Bruce.

Banning here is almost non-existent, calls for banning will fall on deaf ears. Two individuals have been banned in like, what, fifteen years? One historical, the other still posts here and has become a folk hero of sorts despite having 2-3 monikers turned off. Zvon wrote: I ran a message board a few times.

This is, and always has been, the most willy-nilly-do-what-you-want little corner on the Mets' and just-about-every-freakin'-thing-else place on the interweb. Hopefully, no more dust ups in 2017.

Edit - there is a not-fully-updated thread here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=307 find someone who was responsible for every single "problem" up until 8 or 9 years ago, hasnt posted since, and had about 50 screen names. then project that person onto a current poster who "joined" since they left.

Ashie62 Jan 06 2017 06:29 PM Re: Met Wishes for 2017

I was Cleonjones21 and Grote15 many years and yes behaved as a jackass by all accounts. I remember the other poster as Bretsabermetric. I'd like to think the 9 year run and 13,000 posts as Ashie62 have gone better for me and hopefully the board. I do like the folk hero tag though. My wife was a hero but surely not I. LETS GO METS IN 17.

Lots of us here act like jackasses. I'm front and center. It's a family. Families fight, act like assholes, and then bond together because whether we like it or not, we're all stuck with each other and in the end, we all want the same thing. Plus, we make each other laugh and feel sane.
