Scott Hairston is a Golden God.

You can't catch the wild card if you lose 2/3 to the Nationals

Updated (since the Zach Wheeler trade) Mets top 10 prospects:

Quote :

" 1. Zack Wheeler, rhp Not an easy call, but I'm taking Wheeler over Harvey because he has a higher ceiling. 2. Matt Harvey, rhp Tore up high Class A, has struggled in Double-A during his first pro season. 3. Brandon Nimmo, of Highest pick ever from Wyoming (No. 13) was one of draft's best athletes. 4. Jeurys Familia, rhp Still throwing in mid-90s, has improved command after rough 2010 season. 5. Kirk Nieuwenhuis, of Not fair to call him an overachiever when he keeps producing everywhere he goes. 6. Jennry Mejia, rhp System's No. 1 prospect entering 2011 had Tommy John surgery in May. 7. Cesar Puello, of Having inconsistent year in high Class A, but still has five-tool potential. 8. Michael Fulmer, rhp Fastball jumped to mid-90s, slider to mid-80s during high school senior year. 9. Jordany Valdespin, ss/2b Enjoying breakout year with bat in Double-A, needs more defensive consistency. 10. Wilmer Flores, ss Left field is best-case defensive scenario, and scouts are losing enthusiasm for his bat."

^All those pitchers and outfielders...another reason to keep the Davis/Murphy/Reyes/Wright infield intact.

Makes me think back to these days:

8/1/2011 8:11:03 PM

All of our top prospects (Milledge, Mejia, Martinez, Flores) seem to shit themselves whenever they get close to the big leagues.

Here's hoping a 1-2-3 of Wheeler, Harvey, and Mejia in 2014 isn't a pipe dream.

Three year period of injuries never before seen in baseball (at least by projected starters games lost). Worst part is these aren't old players trying to hang on. It's 24-28 year olds.

I don't know what to say even at this point. Get better soon Murph, Reyes, Johan and Davis... At least Wright is back after missing 2.5 months.

These major league teams that lose to the Mets right now ought to be embarrassed. Reyes, Murphy (two of the top five average hitters in the NL) Davis, Santana, Young are all out hurt. K-Rod and Beltran have been traded. Bay forgot how to hit after being signed. Wright is two weeks back from a broken back.

How the fuck is this team .500? This roster shouldn't even be .500 in the IL or PCL.

8/8/2011 11:21:43 PM

Does that bode well for next year though?

8/9/2011 1:34:50 AM

I'm making it a point to watch tonight because Mike Baxter is starting. Pretty much living every young Mets fans dream growing up in that area..

8/10/2011 8:06:38 AM

i haven't even checked a game score in over a month

9/9/2011 12:05:56 PM

Some fan you are.

9/9/2011 12:07:50 PM

If I don't watch SportsCenter for a day or 2, I'll forget baseball is even still going on...

9/9/2011 12:18:02 PM

Still get major chills watching that Piazza HR...

[Edited on September 11, 2011 at 7:45 PM. Reason : damn, piazza not able to keep it together BEFORE the ceremony even. love him..]

9/11/2011 7:40:30 PM

^that was the best regular season game I ever saw...the raw emotion of the entire team, especially Piazza and John Franco, was incredible

9/13/2011 12:14:22 AM

That game was probably the only time in the past decade that I was actually happy for the Mets to win a game.

9/13/2011 11:05:30 AM

Woke up this morning, thought to myself, "not so bad being a Mets fan this fine morning."

9/29/2011 2:27:34 PM

^was thinking the same thing last night after the Braves lost. I guess it does happen to other teams, not just the Mets.

9/29/2011 2:29:29 PM

^^I've been cheering for the Sox all season, either way I get my heart broken.

9/29/2011 5:13:07 PM

You guys are fucked so bad next year

NL East will destroy you

110 losses?

12/5/2011 10:49:51 AM

121

We're going for the record

12/5/2011 10:57:06 AM

Will truly be an Amazin' season

12/5/2011 10:58:38 AM

2012 is gonna be ugly.

12/5/2011 11:08:44 AM

They are going to be bad but let's not get carried away.

Because there is never hyperbole on TWW.

12/5/2011 11:47:19 AM

Reyes was definitely my favorite player...it sucks he's gone, especially to a divisional opponent.

12/5/2011 12:24:56 PM

Phillies have one year left in their window, Braves are a RHB and a solid season from Uggla away from being the best team in the NL, Nats are trending upward and the Marlins are obviously hell-bent on making a run this year

There's no breakaway team, but there are four solid contenders... and the shit-sucking Mets

No hyperbole, this is the potentially the worst team in baseball next year in what should be the strongest division

Mets are gonna get pummeled regularly next year. YOUR ACE IS RA DICKEY COME ON

12/5/2011 12:30:42 PM

Really? Well what about ummmm and oh yeah how about ..........

Oh shit.

12/5/2011 12:32:45 PM

The Marlins are gonna outdraw the Mets this year

LET THAT SINK IN METS

YOUR NEW RIVAL IS THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES

ADIOS

12/5/2011 12:34:20 PM

Not even close to the worst team. 73-89 is probably where theyd be doing nothing but getting Ike back healthy and Johan at least throwing a 4.50 era over 100 innings.

12/5/2011 1:30:05 PM

NyM just said the Mets are a .500 team next year

Can't wait

12/5/2011 1:33:53 PM

Where?

12/5/2011 1:35:26 PM

Not sure if we should just go ahead and make a 2012 Mets thread or what...but a few moves yesterday:

Mets sign Reliever Frank Francisco to 2 year, $12 million deal

Mets trade Angel Pagan to SF for OF Andres Torres and Reliever Ramon Ramirez

Mets sign Reliever Jon Rauch to 1 year, $3.5 million deal

Obviously these moves aren't going to vault us into playoff contention. But we did address a big need by bolstering the bullpen.

12/7/2011 12:08:55 PM

With Beltran AND Pagan gone there is no more outfield defense, no arms that can throw to the plate, and Wright is the only reliable bat in the lineup (if Davis comes back big then great, but it will take time to see)

12/7/2011 12:55:18 PM

Yeah someone make the 2012 thread... I can't on my phone here..
