Team Platoon Triumphs
On August 24, 2016 August 24, 2016 By themetssiahLeave a comment
Final Score: Mets 7, Cardinals 4
With injuries piling up yet again, this time to the rotation, the Mets were able to come through with a big win against the Wild Card leading St. Louis Cardinals. I've said many times that Terry and Sandy deserve some blame for many of the problems this team has had in 2016. But the players deserve the blame and credit most of all. And that's why the Mets players deserve credit for an impressive win last night. It's one game. They're 3.5 games back of the Cards now in the Wild Card race. They need to keep winning and make a real statement.
Wounded Soldier: The Mets continue to generate evidence showing they are the most incompetent organization in baseball. Jon Niese stinks. Jon Niese had a knee injury that was known by the organization and the fans prior to last night's game. The Mets could have easily put him on the DL or skipped his start. Instead they had him pitch, and of course in the first inning Niese had to leave the game with the aforementioned knee injury. He was placed on the DL after the game.
Private Gsellman: The Mets had previously promoted Triple-A starter Robert Gsellman to pitch out of the bullpen which was something he hadn't done in years. Gsellman was forced to come in and pitch in long relief for Niese. Terry also left Niese in the game long enough to walk the one and three hitters and give up an RBI single to Brandon Moss. Then Gsellman came in and gave up an RBI double to Yadier Molina and an RBI ground out to Jhonny Peralta. Those runs tied the game at 3. Other than letting the Niese inherited runners score, Gsellman went 3.2 scoreless innings, and he was credited with the win.
Platoon Bombers: Before Niese fell apart, Wilmer Flores hit a three-run shot in the first inning. Justin Ruggiano also hit a solo shot in the fourth inning. Both homers came off of Cards lefty starter Jaime Garcia. The Mets lefty mashing platoon squad of Flores/Ruggiano is pretty impressive. As long as Terry makes the right matchup decisions, I'm totally fine with Team Platoon.
Seasoned Veterans: Jose Reyes and Asdrubal Cabrera each had 3 hits, and they both had RBI hits in the second inning. It's nice to have two seasoned vets at the top of the order. All of a sudden with Reyes setting the table for Yoenis Cespedes, it feels like this team can actually score with runners in scoring position. The Mets were 5 for 10 in those spots last night. The Cardinals on the other hand seemingly left men on base every single inning.
The Reserves: Josh Smoker gave up a solo dinger to Randal Grichuk, but other than that the Mets relief corps was stellar. 6 relievers combined to pitch 8.2 innings and give up 1 run.
Field General: In addition to his two hits, Yoenis Cespedes made stellar defensive plays including a home run robbery. He also ran hard and seemingly was limping around again. Terry denied this after the game, but I don't believe him. Yo is banged up. He's been banged up all season. The notion that Yo doesn't play hard or that he selectively hustles is one of the most appalling and fabricated false narratives in professional sports.
Captain Blunder: Speaking of Terry making the right platoon decisions, in the 7th inning with runners on first and third and one out Terry pinch hit for Wilmer Flores. He chose to have James Loney face a lefty specialist instead of having Wilmer face the righty who was already in the game. It was the wrong call because Loney doesn't hit lefties at all, and also he's been terrible lately. He promptly hit into a double play. He did add an insurance RBI single in the 9th inning to make it 7-4 Mets, so I suppose he redeemed himself.
Man Down: Yesterday Steven Matz was placed on the DL with shoulder discomfort. Supposedly there's no structural damage, and he'll only miss one start. Remember when we were supposed to have 5 young aces? Well we're down to 2.
Today: I don't want to say tonight's game is a must win. But with Jacob deGrom on the mound and Seth Lugo on Thursday, it's a must win. Carlos Martinez is great too, but the Mets have to find a way to win this game.
Wright/Reyes 2017: Make The Mets Injured Again
On August 9, 2016 By themetssiahLeave a comment
If you've been paying attention to the Mets news cycle, you've already picked up on the signals the team has been sending out. First we traded for Jay Bruce, and now all we've been hearing is how he's "insurance" for "if" Yoenis Cespedes opts-out of his current "deal". As if to say Cespedes might not opt-out and cash in on an almost certain 125-150 million dollar payday. And the Daily News even reported yesterday that the Mets now expect their 2017 outfield to be Michael Conforto in center, Curtis Granderson in left, and Jay Bruce in right. Yo is a goner folks.
When we traded Dilson Herrera for Bruce, we started hearing about second base options for 2017. Sandy Alderson made no mention of Neil Walker in the possible 2017 plan. You know Neil? He's just been one of the most productive second baseman in the league this year, especially after his recent run of success at the end of July into August. Right after the Bruce trade, I wrote about the case to re-sign Walker and how the Mets probably won't do that. Instead, we've heard Gavin Cecchini and Wilmer Flores thrown out as options and of course the headliner…Jose Reyes!
So first we hear Reyes and his league minimum contract thrown out as an option at second base for next season. Now we are seeing David Wright visiting with the team and supposedly making great progress on his neck injury rehab. He says he plans to play in 2017. You know what all this means? Wright/Reyes 2017 is an absolute lock! Lock it up! Guaranteed. They will be penciled into the Opening Day 2017 lineup by the Mets in the offseason and will probably play under 30 games combined.
If a Wright/Reyes 2017 ticket is genuinely in the cards for the Mets, then we need to flood the Citi Field parking lot with protestors now. If that's really the plan, then we might as well flush our chances next season down the toilet and close our supposed championship window that started last season. We've pinned our hopes on Jose and David so many times before this. How many times did we wait for Jose to rehab his injuries in hopes of making a late summer run with him back in the lineup (including right now as I type)? Then as soon as Reyes departed after 2011, Wright filled the injury void. Wright's been on the DL for most of the season between 2013-2016. We can't afford to spend another year penciling these guys into our fantasy world lineups and expecting big production.
This post isn't a commentary on our chances this season. Obviously Wright and Reyes are hurt, and despite that this team is still in the race. But their absence during crunch time this season is about as telling as it gets. This is now the second year in a row where we've depleted our minor league resources trying to fill the void on offense left by the absence of our captain and third baseman. We traded for Juan Uribe, Kelly Johnson (twice), Yoenis Cespedes, and Jay Bruce all in the hopes of filling the Wright hole on offense. We just keep trading away prospects. Trading and trading.
Well now the Mets farm system is nearly depleted, and our best player (Cespedes) is probably leaving. But our young stars are still under team control. We still have the pitching. This offseason is the make or break moment for Sandy. If we plan to actually take advantage of this 2-4 year window, then we cannot rely on Wright and Reyes for another second. I'm not saying release them. Jose Reyes at the league minimum on the bench sounds fine to me. David was productive when he played this year. His contract is a sunk cost. David and the Mets need to accept that he is a bench contributor at best in 2017, and they need to find a starting caliber player to man third base on Opening Day. That is the only acceptable path going forward.
The other option would be to let Jose Reyes and David Wright go to either the Yankees or Cardinals. Carlos Beltran was ravaged by injuries at almost the same age (32/33) as Reyes and Wright. Then Beltran went to the Cardinals/Yankees and went on to have 5 more incredibly productive seasons. Perhaps the Lord's chosen teams would help heal Wright and Reyes and restore them to greatness. One thing is certain. They are not recovering as long as they don blue and orange with the Mets. So it's time to move on. It's time to vote no on Wright/Reyes 2017! Let's make the Mets great again, not injured.
Mets Split Doubleheader; Reyes Injured (The Lock of Locks)
On July 27, 2016 July 27, 2016 By themetssiah1 Comment
Reyes Injured (The Lock of Locks): Let's start with the lead story. Jose Reyes didn't play game 2 of the doubleheader after the Mets had said pregame that Jose and Yo would play both games. And the reason is…he's officially injured. Grade 1 intercostal strain. Hammy, quad, intercostal. Who cares? Jose is more injury prone than Travis d'Arnaud. The safest bets going in the world yesterday were U.S. Treasuries, Golden State vs. Cleveland in the 2017 NBA Finals, and taking the under in the "Jose Reyes to the DL by July 31st" pool. The only bet that is more of a lock now is the Mets waiting too long to put Jose on the DL. Although I read Dilson Herrera was scratched from his Vegas start last night. So maybe the Mets are already preparing for his promotion.
As far as the doubleheader goes, the Mets split the twin bill which is fine by me. The Mets lost the day game to Carlos Martinez and won the night cap with Big Sexy on the mound. And the Nationals lost in embarrassing fashion last night. Papelbon blew the game. So all in all it was a good evening.
Game 1 Recap: The Cardinals won game one 3-2. Noah Syndergaard wasn't at his best in this game. He wasn't getting ahead of hitters and had a high pitch count. He miraculously worked 6 innings despite having over 100 pitches after 5. He made a mistake to Jedd Gyorko in the third inning and Gyorko hit a two run homer. But the first Cardinal run came in the second inning. The Cardinals hit three straight one out BS singles. Two were infield hits. One was a slow roller to Jose Reyes. The "single" that loaded the bases was deflected by Noah Syndergaard and consequently a play couldn't be made. Then with the bases loaded, pitcher Carlos Martinez hit a ball back to Thor, and he made an error on the throw home. Horrendous. Thor wiggled out of the inning after giving up only that one run. But that run plus the two run homer by Gyorko was enough for the Cardinals.
The Mets left 11 men on base. Basically they left men on base every single inning. Tim Teufel held Reyes at third base on a Yoenis Cespedes double in the third inning. That was a blunder. In the fourth inning, Rene Rivera hit a two run homer which represented the laugh out loud 2 run scoring total for the Mets in the game. Kelly Johnson failed in big spots. Even Yoenis Cespedes failed in some spots during this game. He also came to bat in the 9th inning after Curtis Granderson led off with a single. He swung at the first pitch and almost hit a two run homer to center field. It ended up being a deep fly out. Then for some reason Grandy tried to tag from first base and was thrown out at second. It was one of many odd lowlights in a weird embarrassing first game.
Game 2 Recap: The Mets won 3-1. Bartolo Colon was efficient and Sexy. He pitched 7 innings, gave up 3 hits, 1 run, and struck out 8. He made one mistake to Jedd Gyorko who hit a solo shot. Jedd Gyorko with two home runs? The Mets love getting crushed by odd players. We always have some new obscure nemesis. Terry yanked Colon from the game after 7 innings with only 87 pitches. This made no sense at the time, but apparently he's going to pitch on short rest this coming Saturday. Addison Reed and Jeurys Familia shut down the Cards in the 8th and 9th so it worked out.
The Mets did manage to get one clutch hit in game two. Asdrubal Cabrera broke his 0 for 32 streak of ineptitude with runners in scoring position with an RBI double in the the third inning to make it 1-1. But the Mets still left 5 runners in scoring position. James Loney hit into a double play to score a run in the fourth inning. Cabrera added a sac fly in the fifth inning to make it 3-1. The Mets crummy offense didn't matter as much in game 2 because the pitching was so elite and efficient.
Citi Field Food Recap: So I arrived at the stadium yesterday around the 6th inning of game one. Let me preface this by saying I am a big fan of the food at Citi Field and a big fan of chef David Chang's Momofuku restaurants. That being said, I bought the spicy chicken sandwich and fries at the Momofuku stand at Citi. Meh. It wasn't anything special. And it was 30 dollars for the sandwich, fries, and a beer. Too rich for my blood. Never again. I'll stick with Shake Shack or a sausage with peppers and onions.
Today: Do the Mets want to make a run? Do they want to make some noise in the NL playoff race? Well then we need to win a home rubber game against a Wild Card opponent. Logan Verrett vs. Adam Wainwright in today's rubber game. Let's go Mets.
They're Back Baby!
Final Score: Mets 3, Marlins 0
A big road series win against a division rival for the New York Mets? Yes sir. Steven Matz, Michael Conforto, and Jose Reyes with big performances? Hell yes. What a great way to end the weekend. The dog days of summer still lie ahead, but this was a key win to get under our belt before heading home for a huge home series against the Wild Card contending Cardinals.
Matz Was Back Baby: Steven Matz was 0-5 in the 9 starts before Sunday's matinee. But Matzy got the W in this game. He went 6 innings, gave up just 4 hits, and struck out 6. He pitched through his bone spurs. His velocity was there all game. I really hope he can continue to push through these damn spurs. We need him out there on the mound putting up zeroes.
We Shut Down Stanton: Giancarlo Stanton went 0 for 3! We shut him down! Matz retired him with a man on in the third inning and two men on in the fifth inning. Reed even struck him out with a man on second in the 8th inning. It was nice to see Stanton walking back to the dugout with his head down for a change instead of seeing him admiring a ball he just sent into orbit.
Just Sign Him: Martin Prado went 3 for 3 with a walk. He's been killing the Metsies this season. We should probably just sign him in the offseason. We need to find a way to get these Met killers off of the streets and on to our roster.
Conforto Was Back Baby: Michael Conforto went 2 for 2 and made a diving catch in center field in this game. If his bat is working, then the Mets are going to play him in center field and cross their damn fingers. It's certainly promising to see him make a gold glove caliber play in his first career start.
Jose Was Back Baby: In the third inning, Michael Conforto singled and advanced to third on two straight productive outs. Then Jose Reyes slashed an RBI triple making it 1-0 Mets. Jose certainly was in vintage spark plug speed demon form this weekend.
Insurance Again: The Mets added two runs in the eighth inning on two straight RBI singles from Yoenis Cespedes and James Loney. I couldn't believe the Mets scored any runs in this game let alone runs late in the game on clutch hits with runners in scoring position. I had my TV muted at the time of the late inning rally because I was on the phone. I'm going to experiment with TV muting going forward to see if there's any correlation between silence and run scoring. I'll miss Gary, Keith, and Ron, but I have to do my part to help boost this offense.
The Pen Never Left: Hansel Robles, Addison Reed and Jeurys Familia combined for 3 scoreless innings of relief to close this one out. If we get to say that a lot in August and September, we'll be celebrating a playoff berth. I have a feeling that by the end of this week the Mets will have a new face in the late inning relief conversation. My sources tell me Assistant GM John Ricco aka Ricco not so suave is working the hell out of the phones leading up to the August 1st trade deadline.
Lucroy: Speaking of trades, Kristie Ackert of the Daily News says the Mets are in the Jonathan Lucroy trade conversation. She said Travis d'Arnaud is the piece being floated by the Mets along with prospects. The idea of adding Jonathan Lucroy is very appealing to me. Travis is great, but he's Mr. Glass. I'd obviously love to have the more durable Lucroy. Let's see how this plays out this week as the hot stove heats up.
Tomorrow: The Mets kick off a big three game home series against the Cardinals tomorrow night. Noah Syndergaard vs. Carlos Martinez. Let's hope this game goes better than Saturday's battle of the aces between Jacob deGrom and Jose Fernandez.
I Forgot About Jose
On July 23, 2016 July 23, 2016 By themetssiahLeave a comment
When I thought about all the ways this team could all of a sudden surge and have a huge August/September, I really didn't think about Jose Reyes being the one to carry the club. I obviously thought about Yoenis Cespedes going on a tear, and he will undoubtedly need to be the engine that drives the club. But I was imagining Michael Conforto rebounding or Neil Walker finally deciding to get involved in the action for the first time since April or Asdrubal Cabrera starting to hit with runners in scoring position or Travis d'Arnaud looking like the hitter we all watched last season or Curtis Granderson smashing long balls. I really wasn't thinking about Mr. Spark Plug Jose Reyes. Well last night, Jose went 3 for 5 with an RBI, a stolen base, and 2 runs scored. He was the primary reason the Mets won the baseball game.
Mr. Spark Plug: Jose Reyes led off the game with a double and with one out and Cespedes up, he stole third base. Luckily the ball got away from the catcher because he didn't exactly get the best jump on the steal. But then Cespedes drove him in with a sac fly to make it 1-0 Mets. In the fourth inning, Travis d'Arnaud singled, Juan Lagares singled, and with two outs Jose Reyes hit an RBI single to make it 2-0. It was a huge clutch hit with a runner in scoring position and two outs.
Mr. Rotation Filler: Logan Verrett pitched 5.1 innings and gave up 2 runs on 4 hits. The runs came on a two run shot by Christian Yelich in the 6th inning that tied the game at 2. Terry instantly pulled him from the game even though he had just under 80 pitches. Terry wasn't screwing around. I was pissed when the Marlins tied the game simply because the Mets had stranded Cespedes at second base with two outs in the third and with this offense you just never know if they'll have more opportunities to tack on runs.
More Runs: In the 7th inning, the Mets instantly reclaimed the lead. Jose led off the inning with a single off reliever David Phelps. Then Grandy singled and Jose wound up at third base. Then Yoenis Cespedes hit another sac fly to make it 3-2 Mets.
Pen Problem?: Hansel Robles and Addison Reed combined for 2.2 innings of scoreless relief. We hear many calls for the Mets to add a reliever before the deadline. But this crew of Robles, Reed and Familia has been pretty damn good. I suppose we could use another guy simply because their arms will eventually fall off.
Insurance Salesman: In the top of the 9th, Cespedes was hit by a two out Fernado Rodney pitch, and James Loney then mashed a two run homer to make it 5-2 Mets. They said on SNY that Rodney has given up two homers all season. One homer to Alejandro De Aza a few weeks back and one to Loney last night. That's an absurd stat. I hope Rodney keeps stinking against the Mets.
The Penmaster General: Jeurys Familia closed it out, but he still did his thing where he puts lots of people on base and stresses everyone out. Cespedes made a horrendous misplay in left field that led to a leadoff double for Christian Yelich. Then Familia struck out Giancarlo Stanton, walked Marcell Ozuna, and struck out Derek Dietrich. Martin Prado added an RBI single to make it 5-3 before Jeurys finished the game off. 50 straight regular season saves. Familia is special.
Today: Jacob deGrom vs. Jose Fernandez? Are you kidding me? What a game. Let's take the series.
The Mets Are Not Beating The Nationals And That's Bad
Final Score: Nationals 3, Mets 2
The Mets got Murph'd and No-Yo'd again. They dropped 3 out of 4 at home against the Nationals. Absolutely pathetic. They need Yoenis Cespedes in the middle of the lineup. When your offense is dependent on one guy, it's undoubtedly a weakness. But it's the reality for the New York Mets. It is what it is. The Mets need Yo. Period. Steven Matz had a strong start to close out the pre-All Star break schedule. He went 7 innings and gave up 3 runs on 6 hits. He only struck out 5 and walked 4 which wasn't ideal. But he was throwing his slider. He's pitching through the elbow bone chips, and he's found a way to remain effective.
Walk Werth and Screw Murph: Matz made a mistake in this game. He walked Jayson Werth and gave up a two run shot to Daniel Murphy. Murph made it 2-0. The Mets walked Jayson Werth twice in this game. We love walking Werth. We should probably stop doing that. It makes no sense. Werth isn't that good and Murph is a force in the Nationals lineup. Let's stop giving Murph opportunities to burn us. And as far as Murph goes I ranted about it yesterday. He's public enemy number one. He's our arch enemy now. His 21 RBIs against the Mets are the most in a single season since Ryan Howard. It's a joke at this point. He's destroying us. Go to hell Murph.
Jose Did Stuff: Jose Reyes hit two solo homers batting right-handed. Amazing. He's seemingly the only hitter who decided to show up. Good for him. Obviously two runs wasn't enough.
Gio Doesn't Stink: Gio Gonzalez has had a bad season. But he dominates at Citi Field in his career. So he shut down everyone other than Reyes over 5.2 innings. Duh.
Our Boy: Alejandro De Aza made the final out of the game. He went 0 for 3 and he's awful. He cracked a foul ball earlier in the game off his knee/inner thigh. I thought for sure he had shattered the bone and would leave the game. But of course he was completely fine because he's not an important player and the baseball gods decided to spare him. The baseball gods are just watching us suffer and twisting the knife. At least Michael Conforto is killing it in Vegas right now. I'm guessing he'll be back in the MLB lineup very soon.
To Hell With Fantasy: Wilson Ramos hit an RBI single in this game to make it 3-1 Nationals and starter Tanner Roark came in to pitch 2.1 innings of scoreless relief. I have them on my fantasy team. I hate them.
The Needs: The Mets could really use another bat, a starting pitcher, and a setup man. That's an offseason wish list not a trading deadline agenda. But Sandy is going to have to figure out how to patch this lineup up. We are 47-41 and tied with the Marlins for the last Wild Card spot. If we aren't going to compete for the damn division, we still need reinforcements to stay in this Wild Card race.
This Week: The All-Star Break is here. The Mets need a breather. Cespedes reminded everyone after the game that there's a "lot of baseball left". Thanks for putting it all in perspective Yo. It's a long season. Let's take a break this week, nurse our wounds, and come out of the gate strong.
Wilmer Loves Losing His Job
On July 6, 2016 July 6, 2016 By themetssiahLeave a comment
Look how happy Wilmer is to lose his job to Reyes!
The power of Wilmer Flores, the spark of Jose Reyes, and the grit of Jacob deGrom on the mound helped the Mets take today's rubber game from the Miami Marlins. It's really hilarious how Wilmer consistently raises his performance level when he thinks he's going to lose his job. He caught one whiff of Reyes, and all of a sudden he's going home run for home run with Giancarlo Stanton. Two multi-home run games in one week for our boy Wilmer? That's insane.
Happy To Get Canned: Wilmer launched a solo home run in the second inning to give the Mets a 1-0 lead, and he added another solo shot in the fourth inning to make the lead 4-1. Both shots came off Marlins lefty starter Justin Nicolino. Wilmer did hit into a double play with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. Ultimately the wasted opportunity didn't cost the Mets the game. I suppose Wilmer The Great can't do everything. Flores said postgame that he's happy Jose Reyes is here because it makes the team better. And I totally believe he's being honest. How could he not be excited to have a stable of viable starting infielders? It's amazing. Right after the game Terry is wondering aloud how in the world he's going to find playing time for Wilmer and Jose. Ummm Terry I think we'll figure it out. Is he serious? It's called a rotation. It's called depth. You give old man Neil Walker and bum knee Asdrubal Cabrera a day off. They are dying. Michael Cuddyer disintegrated after one half of baseball last season because he was played into the ground. This suddenly deep crop of infielders makes me smile even more than Wilmer when he finds out he's been demoted.
The Playing Time Usurper: Jose Reyes got the start at shortstop today because Asdrubal Cabrera was up all night dealing with some family matter. Hopefully nothing serious. Anyway he had two doubles. In the third inning, Rene Rivera walked and Jacob deGrom failed to bunt him over. But Reyes doubled and set up second and third for Curtis Granderson who singled in two runs. That made it 3-0 Mets.
My Man: Jacob deGrom is my man. With David Wright seemingly gone forever, deGrom really is my favorite player on the team hands down. He didn't have his best stuff, and he had to battle today. He got through jams in the first and fifth inning. But he always seems to find his way through 6 or 7 innings and limits any damage. He went 7 innings, gave up 6 hits, 2 runs, walked 2, and struck out 7. Noah Syndergaard is heading to the All-Star Game, Steven Matz is a Rookie of the Year candidate, and Bartolo Colon has been sexier than ever. But my confidence is at its highest when deGrom has the ball.
We Did It Again: Jacob deGrom's only mistakes were surrendering two solo blasts to Giancarlo Stanton. Remember him? He hit two home runs yesterday. We obviously didn't learn our lesson about being careful with Stanton. I don't care that deGrom is an ace. I don't care that Stanton came up without men on base or that the Mets had a lead. He's a one man wrecking crew. He scored all the damn runs for the Marlins. Joe Maddon had the right idea earlier this year when he put Bryce Harper on base every time up. Just walk the guy. Pitch around him. Challenging him and consistently getting burned is the definition of insanity. We have an actual choice. Make the right one next time please.
Tomorrow: The Mets start a four game home set against the Nationals tomorrow. Big Sexy is on the mound. I'll be at the game. We have some nice momentum. Let's take it to the top team in the NL East. Let's head into the break scorching.
Mets Let Giancarlo Beat Them For Some Reason
On July 6, 2016 July 6, 2016 By themetssiah3 Comments
Final Score: Marlins 5, Mets 2
The Mets let Giancarlo Stanton beat them twice last night for some reason. That's the story of the game. We let one of the best power hitters on the planet burn us twice. I don't care that he's had a bad season. I don't care that he's been a non-factor lately. You simply cannot let Stanton launch two dingers against you. And these were bombs with men on base no less. Unacceptable.
Matz and His Mistake: Steven Matz was lights out last night. I said this for Noah Syndergaard on Sunday, but I hope this means the cortisone is working. Whether it's working or not Terry Collins didn't give a crap. He saw Matz had good stuff and let him throw a 100 pitches. TC don't give a damn about dem bone chips. Matz went 7 innings, gave up 6 hits, 2 runs, and struck out 6. The frustrating part was he got lit up by Stanton in the 7th inning. He was so close to the damn finish line. He gave up a leadoff single to Marcell Ozuna and then Stanton took him deep to make it 2-1. He had already given up a damn single to him earlier in the game. I know you don't want to put the lead run on base, but Chris Johnson stinks. Challenging Stanton more often than not equals home run.
Yo Bomb: Yoenis Cespedes hit a solo home run in the fourth inning. He was the only guy who could hit Wei-Yin Chen. Chen straight up outdueled Matz. He went 7 innings, gave up 3 hits, 1 run and struck out 5. I suppose Chen let Cespedes beat him. But that dinger was in the fourth inning. Remember the bottom of the 7th inning? He walked Yo to leadoff the inning. It wasn't intentional, but he sure as hell didn't fall behind and then foolishly challenge him. I wouldn't want to get rocked by Yo again either. Then he easily retired the next two guys. But the Marlins did luck out because James Loney singled, and Juan Lagares hit a sinking liner to Stanton in right field that he snagged for the third out. On a different day that falls in for a hit and ties the score. It wasn't the Mets night.
Letting Giancarlo Beat You: The Matz home run to Stanton was less appalling than the bomb surrendered by Erik Goeddel. With two freaking outs, Goeddel hit Christian Yelich with a pitch and gave up a single to Marcell Ozuna. I'm not sure why with two outs the Mets are letting Commissioner Goeddel blow a one run game, but they sure did. Goeddel got behind Stanton and gave up a three run home run on a 3-1 pitch. That made it 5-1. I don't care what the score is. If you have an open base and the option to walk Stanton and get a fresh count against Chris Johnson, you take it. Call me crazy. Call me stupid. Call me whatever the hell you want. Goeddel getting burned was an absolute lock. I was washing dishes during the at-bat with my iPad set up playing the game next to the sink. Before he even threw the pitch I was already shaking my head. It was so obvious. I can't believe we gave into the script.
Will The Guys We Paid Perform?: I've complained about the performance of Antonio Bastardo and Alejandro De Aza more than a few times this season. They both got into the action last night. Bastardo pitched a scoreless inning and De Aza hit an 8th inning pinch hit solo dinger. De Aza managed to survive yesterday despite the vast majority of people calling for his head when Reyes was promoted. I was not calling for his head. You know what I'd like? How about these two jerks have a big second half? We paid these two guys. They have major league track records. They have historically not sucked. Maybe it's time they stop sucking. I'm going to hope for that. I'll never trust them in a big spot because I've already seen the ugly stretch. I've seen them at their worst. But turn it around. We kind of need them to work out. They were part of Sandy's plan.
All-Stars: The All Star rosters were officially announced last night. Yoenis Cespedes will start in the outfield and Noah Syndergaard/Jeurys Familia will be on the pitching staff. They are the obvious Mets All Stars. They are the best players on the team. I hope Terry pitches the other NL arms into the ground for a change.
Reyes Return: Jose Reyes returned last night and went 0 for 4 at the plate. He didn't get a single opportunity at third base. I really only have two points on Reyes. I'm kind of surprised we brought him back so quickly. I figured we'd give him some time to actually learn his new position and get his bat up to speed. Nope. Looks like he's just going to do that here right when the offense finally got a little momentum. Oh well. I guess ticket sales trumped commen sense. The second point is I'm really surprised people make signs and give him a heroes welcome. It's one thing to reluctantly accept something you have no control over. It's another thing to essentially celebrate the return of Reyes like some sort of victory for the team and some sort of personal victory. I understand the nostalgia. I understand people getting excited because they used to root for him. But I've actually seen and heard people celebrating the return of Reyes like they won something. As if his return proves some point they personally were trying to make. I'm not sure what that point is and frankly I don't want to know.
Today: It's nice to have Jacob deGrom on the mound in a rubber game against a division foe at home. Let's win today at 1:10.
Jose Reyes Is Happening
On June 25, 2016 June 25, 2016 By themetssiah3 Comments
Earlier this week, I wrote a post titled "Jose Reyes Ain't Happening". I made a mistake. I probably should have titled the post "Jose Reyes Shouldn't Happen" because that's really what the post was about. I talked about how he physically assaulted his wife in Hawaii which is the obvious reason we shouldn't have signed him. I talked about how he's a shortstop, and we have no need for one. He's played 0 games at third base in his career and 43 at second base (in 2004) and now we expect him to magically become a utility man overnight. All those facts made no difference to the Mets.
Here we are today, and the Mets are officially bringing Jose Reyes back to Queens. In hindsight, this was the most obvious move ever. No it wasn't obvious because of his talent or what he brings to the team. No this was obvious because it's a Wilpon slam dunk. Jose will sell tickets, and he's free. He's literally going to cost the Mets the league minimum. I'm sure Jeff will be cancelling the Yulieski Gourriel workout. No more expensive Cubans for the Wilpons. Instead, Jeff Wilpon is buying Jose Reyes at the absolute lowest point in his career and personal life. Diminishing skills? Doesn't matter to Jeff Wilpon. Domestic violence scandal? No biggie for Jeff. As long as he will play a couple months, steal a few bases, and do that thing where he thrusts his curved arm in the air when he slides safely into a base. That's all Jeff wants. Tickets tickets dollars dollars baby. It shouldn't really come as a surprise. We are talking about an ownership group that was linked to the Bernie Madoff Ponzi Scheme and a sexual harassment lawsuit. Integrity has never really been the Wilpon's signature trait.
Jose Reyes served his MLB suspension and donated $100,000 to a domestic violence prevention charity. A lot of people feel that those facts coupled with the belief that he's "shown remorse" somehow makes it acceptable to welcome him back to the game. This view just reinforces the reality that people are willing to selectively forgive professional athletes and people in general for certain crimes. Jose Reyes the professional athlete? Yeah sure he threw his wife through a sliding glass door, but he's sorry and he was punished so yeah he's forgiven. What about former steroid users that are still outcasts in the game to this day? What about the guy who gets arrested as a youth for possession of drugs and down the road he can't get a job at a well respected institution because of his record? Why don't we forgive those people? That's what I mean by selective forgiveness. That reality obviously goes beyond the Jose Reyes debate and speaks to a larger problem with society. I'm not sitting here offering a solution for it. All I'm doing here is acknowledging the problem.
If you factor all the criminal matters out of the equation, Jose is deserving of a major league roster spot purely based on his talent. He has something left to give to the game. He's a better roster option than Matt Reynolds based on his talent. But the Rockies certainly weren't willing to "factor out the criminal element" and I'm sure a lot of other teams wouldn't have been willing to do that either. We'll never know because Reyes was able to go to his first choice. Good for Jeff. I wish I was there when the Mets conducted their "character review".
And by the way, I'm not going to sit here and say there's no part of me that's excited about the return of Jose Reyes. Jose and David Wright were obviously my two favorite players when I watched the Mets in high school and college. I'll never forget when Jose was the most electrifying player in the game. The part of me that's excited is the kid who used to love to watch Jose play. The adult part of me that would never commit an act of violence against the people I love wants nothing to do with him. Whatever. The Mets made their decision. What's done is done. I'm not boycotting baseball. I'm not walking out on the Mets. Whatever that says about me so be it. At least I voiced my opinion on the issue.
All that being said, I really have no idea what the Mets are planning to do with Jose. Asdrubal Cabrera and Neil Walker are below average defenders by all advanced metrics, but they've been solid and dependable up the middle this season for the Mets. They've developed a rapport. I don't think it's wise to just move them to make room for Jose. It seems silly. So that means Jose will be tossed over to third base and expected to learn the position on the fly. The Mets even talked about playing him in the outfield. The Mets are essentially acting like this is the Matrix, and they can just upload the outfielder/utility infielder program to Reyes' brain. Except in reality, the only "uploading" the Mets will be doing is giving Jose two weeks in Vegas to learn every position. The odds are he'll be injured before he even leaves Sin City.
Jose is back. We've seen this movie before. Even though he's not the same player he once was, he'll make some electric plays, get some big hits, steal some big bases, and before the season is done he'll wind up on the DL. I guess since he's now playing the role of utility man instead of franchise shortstop, it won't be a big deal when he goes down. Hopefully he helps the Mets win some ball games. Let's see what he's got left.
Last week, after Jose Reyes was designated for assignment by the Colorado Rockies, the Mets said a reunion with Reyes was a long shot. Then the Mets got swept by the worst team in the National League over the weekend, and now all of a sudden every news outlet and Twitter mook is saying that the Mets are softening their stance and will consider signing Reyes. Today on Facebook, it was rumored that Jose Reyes posted the above picture with him in a Mets uniform and it read, "Thank you God for everything". Obviously that turned out to be completely fake, and Jose doesn't even have a Facebook account. But the point is the rumor is hot. It's boiling hot. Mike Puma of the New York Post said a baseball official close to Reyes said "he desperately wants back with the Mets, hasn't been happy since he left". Ummm of course he hasn't been happy since he left. He never wanted to leave. Who would want to leave the biggest baseball stage in the universe and spend the next five years playing for three different teams and watching their skills drastically decline? Nobody.
Jose Reyes is a bad choice purely from a baseball perspective. He doesn't play second base or third base. He's a shortstop. We're gonna convert Jose Reyes to new positions, but we won't try that for Neil Walker or Asdrubal Cabrera? We're going to play Jose Reyes over Dilson Herrera who's crushing Vegas pitching? Plus Jose Reyes is the most injury prone player I've ever watched in a Mets uniform. Travis d'Arnaud has won three consecutive Jose Reyes Hamstring Memorial Awards or "Hammys" as we call them. And he still hasn't collected as many as Reyes did in his Mets career. Reyes would be on the DL in less than a month. The guy is a walking injury plague, and although that fits the theme of our current roster, it's not a theme we want to reinforce.
The bottom line is I have one Jose Reyes related regret as a fan. I regret that the Mets didn't ship him off at the trade deadline in 2011 for a boatload of prospects that would have helped speed along the rebuilding process of our crummy team at the time. Instead, the Wilpons kept him around to sell tickets down the stretch as he chased a batting title. Then they pretended they were going to offer him a big contract, and once the season was over they never even made an actual offer. That's the only regret I have. If we bring back Jose Reyes knowing that he threw his girlfriend into a glass door in Hawaii and assaulted her, then the team will have another thing to regret. There are plenty of roster options out there that don't involve signing a violent criminal. I don't care that his girlfriend dropped the charges or got paid off or whatever. We all know what happened.
The Mets should find some other way to improve the team. The Yankees bring in violent criminals like Aroldis Chapman. They force their players to shave their beards and cut their hair and they overlook criminal acts. The Mets should do the exact opposite. We let our players grow out their beards and have wild free hair. And we should also stay away from jerks like Reyes.
P.S. It's the least surprising thing in the world that Jeff Wilpon is reportedly the biggest proponent of bringing back Reyes on the cheap. He owns the baseball organization that is consistently involved in the most public relations nightmares, he has personally been involved in a sexual harassment lawsuit, and still he's ready to welcome a domestic violence offender into his team's starting lineup. He's such a moron.
P.P.S. We should bring back some version of Speaking Spanish with Professor Reyes. We can just use Yoenis Cespedes in the modern version. Reyes was injured so often as a Met. That jumbotron thing was basically the only way you could see him when you came out to Shea Stadium.

Space, eh? It's pretty big. And people always want to know stuff about it, which seems quite nosey, but then again it might just hold the answers to questions like "where did we come from?", "how are we here?" and "where are we going?" So we're sure space can forgive the invasion of privacy.
Anyway, with the ESA having recently landed a spacecraft on a speeding comet (very cool) in a bid to find out more about how our solar system was formed, we thought it'd be a good time to have a look at some other awesome Space stories of the last ten years.
10. Saturn's Moon Titan Explored
On the 14th of January 2005, the European Space Agency's Huygens probe dropped through Titan's atmosphere after a seven-year space jam attached to NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The probe essentially revealed that Titan was very similar to a young Earth. It's full of sand dunes and lakes, which are laced with organic molecules that could theoretically support life.
9. Organic Chemistry Collected from Comet's Tail
In 2008, organic chemicals were detected in the disk surrounding a star called HR 4796A, 220 light-years from Earth. Recently, NASA's Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes picked up traces of carbon dioxide, methane and water vapor in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called HD 209458b. This basically tells us that life may not be unique to Earth. Something most people assume, but actual proof is always cool.

Lucas Cranach młodszy (ur. 4 października 1515 w Wittenberdze, zm. 25 stycznia 1586 tamże) – niemiecki malarz i projektant drzeworytów, syn Lucasa Cranacha starszego.

Był kontynuatorem stylu ojca, który był jego nauczycielem. Tworzył głównie portrety i dzieła o tematyce alegorycznej i religijnej. Jego wczesne prace są trudne do zidentyfikowania. Po 1537 roku, po śmierci starszego brata Hansa, obowiązki Lucasa w warsztacie ojca wzrosły, a po 1553 roku przejął po nim pracownię.

Życie prywatne
W 1541 roku ożenił się z Barbarą Bruck, która zmarła w 1550 roku. Jego drugą żoną była Magdalena Schurff. Tak jak jego ojciec piastował wysokie stanowiska publiczne. W latach 1549-1568 zasiadał w radzie miasta Wittenberg, został wybrany na burmistrza. Był jednym z najbogatszych mieszkańców miasta.

The profession of a visual communicator can be fun, expressive and extremely rewarding.
Take a look at the infographic below to understand 8 reasons why it's great to be a graphic designer and why you should follow your dreams.

However with advancements in pharmacological therapy this is no longer necessary. Brief Answer: Vagus affect bladder function. Anatomical Course The vagus nerve has the longest course of all the cranial nerves, extending from the head to the abdomen. Overall a decreased rate and strength of contraction will ensue and the person may experience syncope. The sinusoids of the liver participate in the filtration of blood from the portal vein to the circulation. It receives sensations from the ears.
So at this time, not only is he still on a feeding tube, but he also now has a drainage bag to drain stomach contents even though he's not eating or drinking anything! This decrease is probably due to post-transcriptional processes. Searching for help for my son. It contains receptors for glucose and lipids that trigger a negative feedback system to modify physiological responses such as satiety and metabolism. The laryngopharynx is innervated by the vagus nerve. The facial nerve supplies motor innervation to the muscles of facial expression.
This system is the primary mechanism in controlof the fight-or-flight response and the freeze-and-dissociateresponse. The vagus nerve innervates structures related to the fourth branchial arch. The ventral branch innervates the sternocephalicus muscle. Parasympathetic Functions In the thorax and abdomen, the vagus nerve is the main parasympathetic outflow to the heart and gastro-intestinal organs. Any medication for such a young boy? Cranial Nerves There are three main groups of cranial nerves; special senses, innervation of the head muscles and innervation of structures originating from branchial arches. The nervous system starts with the , which descends to the. Mucus forms a protective layer on the stomach lining which protects it from the actions of the acidic gastric juices.
A Germany company are producing an earocular device that instead of having an implanted to stimulate the nerve you put this device into your ear. If left unabated, the ductular reaction may eventually lead to biliary pathologies such as fibrosis and cancer. In addition, liver regeneration is an expanding field, and it is critical to determine the role of the hepatic nervous system during biliary regeneration. Each beat of your heart begins with an electrical signal from within your heart muscle. Seems like a good idea, as this is sort of what the chiro attempted to do with me---stretch out my neck to relieve pressure on the vagal nerve.
Can vagus nerve affect bladder function?
These efferent fibers make up about 10% of the Vagus Nerve. It is has branches located on both the left and right side of the body, and each branch will initially travel down to produce the auricular nerve. The pressor reflex is one outcome of osmosen-sation and can be triggered merely by drinking water. The fibres are formed into bundles that are referred to as 'Olfactory filaments'. It helps to slow down heart whenever necessary.
Details regarding each nerve are in the written section above. The posterior plexus is derived from the right portion of the celiac plexus and is located around the portal vein with occasional innervations accompanying the hepatic vein. When chemical substances interact with our bodies they stimulate special sensory cells which in turn generate an action potential. Vagus nerve X The vagus nerve is part of the group of cranial nerves responsible for innervation of structures derived from the branchial arches. Cranial nerves related to the innervation of the head muscles include the oculomotor, trochlear, abducens and the hypoglossal nerves. The pressor reflex is a neurological reflex that raises blood pressure by engaging the sympathetic nervous system thereby causing arteriolar constriction.
Effects of efferent neurotransmitters and neuropeptides on hepatic sinusoids Release of parasympathetic neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine or vasoactive intestinal peptide causes relaxation of the sinusoids. It can in long run leads to a damage of the heart. The sympathetic innervation is postganglionic and originates in the celiac and superior mesenteric ganglia that receive preganglionic fibers from the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord T7-T12. Altogether, constriction of the hepatic artery, microvasculature, and decreases in trans-sinusoidal filtration could be responsible for the large decreases in total hepatic blood volume seen during activation of the sympathetic nervous system. It decreases heart rate, decreases how strongly the heart contracts with each beat, and decreases the rate at which electrical impulses are conducted through the heart.
Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. This reflex is characterized by increased Na + concentration in the portal vein triggering a decrease in renal sympathetic tone and excretion of Na +. Future research needs to evaluate the potential overlap between lipid-induced signaling in the liver, gut and other tissues. Thank You very warm regards doctor, i feel a kind of ticklish irritation just at the junction of bladder opening and urethra and iam never able to empty my bladder completely. The baroreceptors, or pressure receptors in your neck and heart detect blood pressure and transmit the signal to your brain. This can be really deadly if the laryngeal muscles are paralyzed.


When you think major gay pride events, you probably think New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles. To that list I'd recommend adding Madrid Pride (Orgullo in Spanish). Centered in the trendy gay Chueca district located in the heart of Madrid, it has grown to be one of the world's largest gay pride events with over 2 million participants. Chueca had been the city's decaying center until the gays moved in, transforming it into the city's entertainment and nightlife hotspot.
With the third largest airport in Europe, getting to Madrid is easy. And with the largest high-speed train network in Europe, getting around Spain is even easier. Their AVE trains reach 185 mph and connect Madrid with most of Spain's major cities and even to Paris.
Madrid parties late and has something for every taste and inclination. Many bars have "darkrooms" where groups of friends go to the saunas on Sundays for cocktails and play. Most gay clubs don't open until midnight and close around 7 a.m. and bars like Paso, Hot, LL Bar and Bear Bar open early and offer a two-for-one happy hour every day.
This year Madrid Pride runs July 1-5. The main parade is on Saturday with free concerts, DJs and performers located throughout the Chueca district. Thursday is La Carrera de Taccones, the classic stiletto heel race which is hysterical to watch.
Madrid welcomes the gay community and you'll find the festival full of families and Madrilenians (locals). While some U.S. states battle against gay rights, Madrid has moved beyond merely tolerating or accepting gays to embracing and appreciating them. Their Pride demonstrates what the world can be like when an enlightened viewpoint prevails.
With over two million participants, it gets a bit crowded so take a longer vacation and enjoy the city without all the crowds. As a major European capital, it has beautiful grand fountains, plazas, parks and French Provençal buildings galore.
But Madrid has so much to offer beyond the gay scene. At the Puerto del Sol (Metro station) you'll find the famous statue and city emblem, the "bear and Madroño Tree." From there walk through the winding streets lined with brightly colored buildings from the 1800s to the Plaza Mayor which itself dates back to 1576 (current structures were built in 1790 after fires leveled the plaza). This plaza's past includes serving as a center for bullfights, a soccer venue and a place for public executions during the Inquisition. Today it is a serene area loaded with shops and cafes; perfect for people watching.
Off the southwest corner of the plaza you'll find Calle Cava de San Miguel. Here you can experience a true Spanish tradition, "ir de tapas," which means going from one tapas bar to the next while sampling each bar's style, whether it be Castilian, Basque or Galician. Tapas or pinchos are small bites or servings, so in one evening your palate can experience flavors from around the world. Of course you have to try some uniquely Spanish jamón ibérico (cured ham). It is expensive but the ham has a smooth texture and a rich, savory taste.
Next head to the 18th-century fountains along Paseo del Prado and visit the world famous Prado Museum featuring works by Goya, Velazquez, Bosch and El Greco. The works of Picasso, Dali, Gris and Miro can be found at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia.
One of my favorite Madrid pastimes is to walk through Retiro Park on Sunday afternoons when the park comes to life as entire families come to spend the day. Listen to one of the bands playing in the gazebo and then stroll down the boulevard, watching the paddle boats on the lake to the left and street performers and artists to the right. Experience one of the talented caricature artists at work or enjoy kids enthralled in a puppet show. Now stop and listen; notice that the park is full of people but it is peaceful and quiet. There is no music blaring – everyone respects the park's peace and tranquility by using ear phones. The Retiro is a place to escape your hectic life and find inner tranquility.
Madrilenians are friendly and a large percentage of them speak English. But try to learn some Spanish and absorb the rich proud history of Spain and its people.

Over the years ACTION LAWN & GARDEN has been successful in building quality relationships with our many customers. This has been achieved through honesty, quality and communication. We are not a company that is going sell you a package deal or a discount price based off of a tear out coupon. Our concept is to provide quality work week after week. Addressing all of your lawn and garden needs. Who better to asses your lawns needs than the trained person who is walking your property week in and out. ACTION LAWN & GARDEN applies only the highest quality products on an as needed basis. Because no two lawns are the same we do not sell a one size fits all package, this is usually not in the customers best interest. Our goal is to provide our customers with a worry free lawn and garden that they feel good about coming home to.
We arrive at your home ready to work, we are in and out in a timely manner causing as little disturbance to you and your neighbours. Our scheduling policy allows us to arrive for service on the same day weekly. This is appreciated by our customers, especially those who may have lawn furniture or children's toys to tidy up, or a pet to clean up after.
These are people we know and trust and have recommended many times to our customers with complete satisfaction.
