Thought for you from a Met fan

[Applecane]

10 days ago Met fans were in despair. It was taking an alarmingly long time to get a GM (after failing to land a president of baseball operations). And they still don't have a manager. (Kinda like our GM-coach situation.) There were big question marks in the lineup. Meanwhile other teams were loading up. Fans were in despair...

Now...We suddenly have a GM, and perhaps the best pitcher in baseball, Max Scherzer and three other quality/solid acquisitions (including Sterling Marte).

Of course, the Mets have the richest owner in baseball. So there's that.

But all this Cane anger needs to be put on hold for just a little while longer. Patience.

As a Mets fan myself...

I'm not sure paying 37 year old pitchers 43 million a year over 3 years is smart business, but I'm just yucking it up on a message board, what do I know?

 

[HurricaneHauk]

Yeah paying almost 40 million for a pitcher who’s 37 is a great move by the Mets

He will probably tear his shoulder in spring training

 

[ibiswi]

I feel the pain also as a Miami and Mets fan.

 

[TheProf]

Max Scherzer has a 10-9 record with a 4 era vs the Braves in his career. I am not sure his signing is one you point to to rally the troops.

 

[Colombie]

Let's Go Mets!

 

[pacusmc]

So you’re saying the Mets front office is equivalent to Miami’s board of trustees?

 

[ICANEDOIT]

Braves will still own the Mets.

 

[jackedaround]

so you are saying we only have 10 more years of ****? wow OP i feel so much better.

I am a die hard Mets fan and yes, this week has been more than exciting!! Would have liked to have kept Baez but from what I understand Steve Cohen isnt through....of course they are the Mets and much like the Canes now I completely expect them to F this up somehow.

 

[kschro24]

Mets are still the only NL East team to not win a series in this century. Also, Starling* Marte

 

[cocanes]

OP a Mets and Miami fan. So ****ed

 

[Trav]

I'm not sure you're inspiring confidence..

 

[canester95]

Way too much coin for Max. I love him (Nats fan) but that is a decision that may come back to haunt the Mets. Going to be tough to see him in other colors AGAIN.

 

[Brains]

Gator colors. Gross.

 

[gacaneaddict]

So what you're saying is the Mets =Texas A&M?

When is Bobby Bonilla day again?

July 1. Until he's in his 70's.

Crazy money. I couldn't believe he got that much. As a Dodgers fan I saw firsthand him breaking down end of the year. They will have him on an inning count or pitch count more than likely too, which makes this even crazier. Good for Mad Max though, I'm sure he will have his moments with the Mets.
