Seaverversary IGT 6/15 @AZ

It was 41 years ago today
The Mets traded Seaver away
If that wasn't enough to make you sad
The Kingman trade was equally bad
So let me introduce the thread
In which we'll realize that the Mets are dead
Sgt. Mickey's Shitty Baseball Clan!

Re: Seaverversary IGT 6/15 @AZ

Every year, when I notice that it's June 15, my first thought is of Tom Seaver being traded to the Reds.

But then, a moment later, I recall it's also the day that Keith Hernandez came over from the Cardinals.

Miserable day for the Mets!

Another thing that was odd about the old trade deadline was that you didn’t just have to get the deal done, but you had to get the player physically with the team by midnight. At least I think that was the case.

I'm embracing the west coast swing, it gives me more of a reason to miss 2/3 of these awful games, without feeling like I am forsaking the team or my fandom. I mean, I need SLEEP, I got stuff to do!

I'm trying to see progress.

Two weeks ago, it was, "Hey, the starting pitching has really stabilized, and the bullpen is, you know, less bleedy."

Last night, it was, "Look, they scored in multiple innings for the first time in living memory, and any good game for Rosario needs to be celebrated, because it could be a corner turned."

In two or three weeks, they might be ready to win a game or two.

Rosario and Conforto home runs are good signs! Gotta figure they string some of this stuff together soon.

Right there with you. This was traumatizing. The franchise icon ripped from the team for no reason other than spite and hubris from the management. It was betrayal.

Re: Seaverversary IGT 6/15 @AZ

What would you do if we bat out of turn?
Would you stand and turn off the TV?
We'll give you a start of 11 and one
Then we'll up and we'll lose 33
We'll lose ties and catch hell from the fans
Drop flies and catch hell from the fans
Pull thighs and catch hell from the fans

DO YOU NEED ANYBODY?!
We'll claim anyone with a glove
COULD IT BE ANYBODY?!
Just a bat and some spikes and a glove

Re: Seaverversary IGT 6/15 @AZ

I can fault them for him not running the bases better to possibly score on the double, or the ground out. I can fault Rosario for swing and crap pitches and then hitting the popup.

I can fault Ron Darling for preaching the "You don't want to take away his aggressiveness" gospel that has left Rosario as such a counter-productive hitter.
