Today marks one of the low moments and times in the HISTORY of this franchise for me.

I don't blame the players, coaches, managers or Sandy or David Wright or Indian burial grounds.

It comes from above. It's a different kind of time.

Fred Wilpon, I don't know if you could pass a competency test at this point; your advisors should be in the process to prepare for the liquidation of Sterling Mets

Left unmentioned by Gary when discussing 6 HR games at former NYM homes was that the one by the Yanx in '99 at Shea was a Met win, it was the 'Matt Franco Game'

HRs by Paul O'Neill (off Rick Reed, 1st inn) and (Greg McMichael, 6th inn)' Ricky Ledee (Rick Reed, 5th inn);
Jorge Posada (Dennis Cook, 8th inn & Rick Reed, 5th inn); Chuck Knoblauch (Rigo Beltran, 7th inn).


Final score: Mets 9 - Yanx 8

Re: IGT 6/24/18: LAD @ NYM: Brian Kenny's Dream Comes True

A team that's 20-43 since an 11-1 start, and currently on a 6-game losing streak. Yeah, that's a laughingstock. This team could easily lose 100 games at the rate they're going.

In fact sustaining that .317 win percentage in the last 63 games over the next 87 games would give them 103 losses. And you have to assume they'll trade some players at the deadline. People said it wasn't fair to evaluate last year's 70-92 team because they were missing so many traded players in the last two months. Same thing will happen this year.

Sorry, had the grumpy oatmeal for breakfast this morning.
