Update: With a simply average closer, we'd be 8 - 0 right now.

Posted by Name Withheld By Request (aka BlueKopo) Apr 14 '10, 09:28

This team isn't supposed to see 70 wins, least of all 6 - 2 thru eight games.

- Oh, I'm not counting any pennants yet. I'll gladly play the over at 70.5 wins, but I don't ignore baseball always returns to normal. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 14, 09:36 2
  - All you need is Vernon Wells to keep playing Barry Bonds the rest of the way too. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 09:54

Houston is the only think keeping the Mets from having the worst record in the major leagues. - musubi Apr 14, 09:34 24
- No no, count us.....we should be a .500 team. - Will Hunting Apr 14, 09:36 23
  - I don't how you guys went from such great teams in the late '90s to a complete joke now. - Krusty Apr 14, 09:40 10
    - Angelos hired a bunch of yes-men and ran anyone competent (Gillick/Davey J) out. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 09:46
    - worst. owner. ever. -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 14, 09:41 8
      - When did the ownership change? -- nm - Krusty Apr 14, 09:44 4
        
        91 or 92, about the time they moved to Camden Yards, as i recall -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 14, 09:45 3
        
        They seemed to do well for the first few years of their ownership. - Krusty Apr 14, 09:48 2
        
        In 1996, Angelos vetoed his GM's recommendation to trade Bobby Bo and other vets for a wild-card run. - Will Hunting Apr 14, 09:51 1
        
        Such a shame. I hope they wake up and get things going in the right direction again. -- nm - Krusty Apr 14, 09:54
      - i blame Brady Anderson -- nm - prayformojo Apr 14, 09:41 2
        
        I blame the ghost of Harold Baines. (nm) - musubi Apr 14, 09:42 1
        
        i blame Mike "Hometown Discount" Mussina - the 40 year old virgin Apr 14, 09:43
  - Four of your seven losses came against the DRays, Four of our 6 losses came from the Nats and Fish. - musubi Apr 14, 09:39

    - if Big Papi never struck out, Wakefield only threw the good knuckleballs, and Varitek continued to hit 2 HRs a game, we'd be fucking awesome. -- nm - TFox Apr 14, 09:39 9
      - I'm just saying, I could hit Gonzales' offerings so far this season - Will Hunting Apr 14, 09:49
      - I'd play this game, but I just don't have that kind of time. - musubi Apr 14, 09:41 7
        
        The Mets need to fire everyone and start over. -- nm - Krusty Apr 14, 09:44 6
        
        everyone from owners down the field managers should go. - musubi Apr 14, 09:47 5
        
        I agree, I don't blame the players one bit. Management has done as poor a job as I've seen in many years. - Krusty Apr 14, 09:52 1
        
        I'll disagree on one thing: Minaya would be a great scout. He has *zero* ability to manage a roster, do PR, and all the stuff that makes a good GM. - musubi Apr 14, 09:55

        You b!tch! *runs away crying* -- nm - Joe Mauer Apr 14, 09:52
        
        Blasphemer, I'll not have you talking about DW that way. (nm) - musubi Apr 14, 09:51
You just need the pitchers to keep throwing 2/3 of a no-hitter each game. - Reagen Apr 14, 09:31 1
- Of course the pitching can't hold like that all season, but Romano's expected to be this type of pitcher on every start. More good outtings than bad. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 14, 09:35
IMO, you have an average closer. -- nm - TFox Apr 14, 09:29 5
- Statistically, an average closer is 80% in saves attempts. Frasor's 50%. 2 for 4. Fine, I'll say 7-1. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 14, 09:34 3
  - In a small sample size. Even great closers blow a 2 out of 4 on occassion. (nm) - musubi Apr 14, 09:35
  - i am staggering under the weight of that sample size. -- nm - TFox Apr 14, 09:34 1
    - Jeebus guys, I'm not being totally serious with my kvetching here. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 14, 09:40
- I'd agree with that. (nm) - musubi Apr 14, 09:31
