First time Strickland saw Harper in 3 years, since that series. It's not a petty thing to these players at all when the player shows you up. Harper was mouthing up at Strickland in the dugout after those HRs in those playoffs. Of course he still held the grudge after 3 years because he never had an opportunity for retribution. As long as he didn't throw at his head, which he didn't.

Except even the other Giants think he took it too far.

I played semi-pro ball and didn't hold any grudges for 3 fucking years.

I hope the Yankees give Harper a $500 million contract

Most entertaining player in baseball

Can't throw a punch though

hey he got one good punch on him from what I remember



that second one wasn't too bad (at least compared to everything preceding it...)

Yeah it wasn't bad for a baseball player. MLB guys haven't been able to punch well since the 80s
---

That's pretty good for a baseball fight. Glad it happened.
---

Well a Mets fan has finally snapped

it was Mr Met. I mean it's what we're all feeling

The Mets apology statement has many other applicable uses:

Dildogate
Mr Met Flips The Bird
Syndergaard Refuses MRI
Harvey Suspension
Dropped Pop Up (But win anyway)
---

I'm sure that Reg and Football are happy to know that Sam Dyson was DFA'd
---

i was a little sad when I heard how sad all the other players were but that only gets you so far

we are happy

My favorite "only the Mets" moment is them getting caught up in the Madoff scheme

Yankees plan on bringing up Torres this season to replace Headley aww yeah

I've only been calling for this since like two weeks into the season

Hey Tigers, don't beat up on Holland. He needed to retain his trade value!
---

We went from a -21 run differential to -2 in two games.

Thanks!
---

There have been seven grand slams hit today, the most ever for one day in MLB history, including Pujols' 600th career home run.

Mets turned a double play to end the top of the 7th. Played God Bless America and Take Me Out to the Ballgame. The Pirates challanged the double play while this was going on, like 2-3 minutes late and it was allowed. After like 2-3 more minutes of review, the play was overturned and they had to go back in time to re-play the top of the 7th , and no warmup pitches allowed for the Mets pitcher, when the whole team was already in the dugout. What a fucking joke. And of course, the next batter knocked in the resulting run. MLB literally fucking cheated against the Mets, and they are fucking broken
---

More clear picture:

The pirates challenged within some time frame that was still too long, but they already started God bless america because the pirates took too long and umpires didn't want to be disrespectful so they waited until after it was over to start the challenge process, but they didnt let anyone know.
Then it took a while to review and the main issue with this is the Mets pitcher Josh Edgin had already sat down and was cooled off and had to go back out there and was not granted any warmup time


Anyway, this team is just really bad. Will be done in by being decimated by injuries, especially to the pitching. Injuries from last year have affected their performance this year which has in turn affected the bullpen, plus the Familia injury, plus the Thor and Matz and Lugo injuries. All of this has ruined the season. What a damn shame it had to come to this. The worst luck ever.

Oh hey, we might hit 500 posts.

Tigerz walkoff in the 9th off a Justin Upton hr to win it 7-4

Swept the white sox

Back to. 500

First 4 game win streak of the season

Good baseball weekend

Bad baseball weekend from my perspective

Per @FiveThirtyEight, the Mets' pitching staff is in the midst of the fifth-worst year-to-year decline by any pitching staff since 1901.

the mets are very bad at baseball

deGrom is broken
---

Scooter Gennett has hit 9.5% of his career home runs tonight
---

Beltre potentially hurt (again) though
---

Bounceback start from Quintana!
---

The Mets do not only get hurt when they play baseball but the opposing team tends to be hurt more when they play the Mets.
---

Beltre started the season on the DL and only came off it like last week so
---

Posting here before Yu Darvish throws a perfect game against the Mets.
---

well that's 2 home runs the Yankees were robbed of this year. this one wasn't even allowed to make it to replay, which is just dumbfounding.

gonna need to give more length than that if they want those top prospects for him
---

I jinxed it.

fk u dp
---

The umpiring has been pretty bad this game, at least between that missed HR and the incredibly awful botched double play call. Replay works sometimes (why did it take so long on the DP though)

the mets bullpen. even the only reliable guy in it. Mets need to take the lead now or else they won't win. They cannot out-bullpen duel anyone.
---

well............. the rangers really mets'd there
---

I'm glad you can talk about this completely normal event as if it's something unusual or shocking
---

like legit I'm actually borderline offended that you refer to it as mets'd because holy fucking shit how self-centered do you have to be to think of it like that?
---

Oh ya go my tigerz they didn't mets'd tonight

I could say the exact same thing back to you. Have you watched the Mets play on a regular basis the last 30 years? This is the team that loses often on walk off balks and bases loaded walks and a guy named Luis Castillo

Try google image searching (or any search) lolmets. There are literally websites that have their own entire sections dedicated to "lolmets". It is a coping mechanism for us whenever we do something embarrassing. You don't really see something like that for other teams.

suck it red sox

more like red sux m i rite
---

What is it with the yankees and cheating fans that get away with it
Guess this time it went the other way kind of though

Hello have we met


---

I mean I should've specified baseball but yeah.

Probably fair to call the Lions the Mets of football? Not the worst team but the most unfortunate incident stricken and weird plays that don't go your way and such and heartbreak etc

But lolmets still returns the most search results.

I would assume Mets have a bigger fan base

most of us have already died or committed suicide

It's a good thing I wasn't alive in the early 60s at least

Fuck Boston

bumpo

mets walked off by the braves

baseball is bad
