Gotta feel bad for DeGrom, his career is snakebite.. I know he has two cy youngs but all the games they lost that he pitched great (even worse luck than I remember with Seaver, Koosman and Matlack, as least we knew those teams shouldn't hit) and now he was having arguably the greatest season ever for a pitcher , CY Young was a lock early and MVP very much on the table.. presumably all gone now.

And we also lost Baez to the 10 day IL. Rough for the Mets, especially with the Dodgers these next few days

Jeff Wilpon might as well own this team again.
it's year one of a new owner

i'm already sick of the complaining and it makes me more grumpy every time someone complains that this injury riddled team is not performing like a godsend team

They've been an injury riddled team for the longest time though. It's truly unbelievable.

yeah yeah and they also can't hit the ball because they went kneejerk and fired davis way too soon for a guy who was pretty much a downgrade. could've helped someone like Baez immensely to have Davis around btw.

Yankees are back no worries everyone :)
I'm a Yankee fan which I inherited from Dad. It's the least he could do since he molded me into a diehard Jets' fan.

Although I caught the end of the Field of Dreams game and also the tail end of last night's second game, I've probably only watched a total of 9 innings all season.

The product is unwatchable for too many reasons to list, but I'll try anyway.
Long games
Pitching changes
Swinging for the fences and no more small ball.
Constant injuries and DL (yup that's what I call it) stints.
Ridiculous runner on second base extra inning nonsense.

Contrast hockey's version of playing hurt with what we see in the MLB.

I could go on but it's not worth the effort.

Baseball is brutal compared to hockey.
