So lemme' get this straight.... We've been on this right around .500 pace. After the trade deadline we have the best projection of anyone out there... Which would get us to right around .500 at the end of the year. .... makes sense to me! Those traeds mayed all teh differnce!1!1! I would say they definitely did!!!

There’s no way he should have been nominated, he’s an idiot. He had about 100% of the fan base hating him, he did do a lot of stupid things. It’s kind of too bad they dumped him because he did drag them down. The good news Is they’ll still suck for a long time. I was hoping they would hire Stubby Clapp just because he has such a great name.

Yeah, uck likes Marte, and so do I, but he ain't gonna be a Brave, and he ain't gonna fix the Phillies. They could get lucky and catch us next year, I guess, but I don't think it's very likely. They have good frontline players, but they have several holes, and I really don't think Harper is a winning player, even though his numbers are excellent. Maybe he'll prove me wrong. Realmuto is nice too, but like Harper, he seemed to be more interested in getting paid when he was a free agent than he did in winning. Maybe I'm wrong again.

I don't ever recall hearing that we had any interest in Marte at any point during his career, and I have never gotten that. Maybe it has to do with his 50 game PEDs suspension, who knows. But he's still a 5 tool player at this point in his career. He was obtained by the Marlins for hardly anything, and he's never had an elite contract, and at age 33 won't get an elite contract now. He's been in the league 9 years and had a 3.0 WAR or better 7 of those years, including a couple over 4 and a 5.4 last year. He had the twelfth best WAR in all of baseball last year. Hits for average, stole 47 bases last year, I don't see what's not to like.
Imagine this speed and power:
1--Acuna RF 2--Marte LF 3--Freeman 1B 4--Riley 3B 5--Soler DH 6--Albies 2B 7--Langeliers C
8--Pache CF
9--Swanson SS
Oh well, I can live with Rosario in Marte's place. Rosario is an average OFer despite his weird struggles with us in LF this year.

I imagine it had to be the PEDS I've kind of assumed that. I may be cynical, but I still think at least half the guys in the big leagues are using stuff, every once in awhile there's talk about things that can't be tested for whatever. I guess the idea that Marte actually got caught branded him for life as far as we are concerned. I hope that attitude carries over to the wife beater if we're going to be so righteous. Even if we just reach an agreement and buy him out.

Mets are continuing to spend money hand over fist...reportedly just signed Starling Marte, Eduardo Escobar and Mark Canha and are close to signing Scherzer. If only there was evidence that spending a bazillion dollars guarantees that you win the World Series. www.foxnews.com/sports/mets-splash-3-free-agent-signings-reports

Scherzer rumor is 3-4 years at $42 per year. He's been a great pitcher, but he's 37 and had a dead arm in the NLCS against us and couldn't pitch. Seems like about the riskiest signing I've ever heard of if true.

Seems like about the riskiest signing I've ever heard of if true. I just heard to the Mets for 3 years $130M. $43.33M per yer. Youza! Scherzer is good but that is ridiculous. Probably bid up by the Dodgers.

LOLLERZ!!!
Scherzer is going to be 38 in July. That is the dumbest contract ever....the Mutts and Faillies are never going to learn....
