Francisco Lindor hits a three run shot
about to ruin the tank for arch manning. i hate this team
Getting those of us that are Jets fans prepped for the Fall
There is, quite literally, nothing about that team that gets me excited as a fan, draft picks or otherwise
I’m gonna watch the draft and team like the sucker I am and then wallow in the pain and misery as the season goes on. Like I do every damn year……….
I’m literally hate watching them. I’ll be pissed if they win a game. They have broken me with football
Can’t wait for five wins and the 7th pick
5??? If it’s more than 3 I’ll be shocked.
Geno will drag us to 3 straight to end the season and then flip off the fans when they’re pissed we lost out on a qb again
I need Indy to be ass as jets insurance
Also Dallas or Green Bay
I’m fully expecting them to somehow win the final game of the season after losing every single other game and lose out on the Number 1 pick via SOS bullshit
Ahhh, the Trevor Lawrence strategy when we beat the Rams and fucked it up
I just know they’re going to fuck up the draft so why tune-in?
We draft well as long as it’s not QB. In this draft, they better not do a QB in ANY round
Sure, but drafting shitty QBs could definitely be considered “fucking up the draft” which they have done repeatedly.
Just end skip the season.
If it makes you feel any better, Arch would probably do what Payton did and go back to UT to avoid New York
We can suck longer than he can remain eligible
Then he’ll pull an Eli
Lmao if you think woody Johnson would give in to that shit. He’d rather let arch sit on the bench for five years selling jerseys (plus two franchise tags) than ever trade a Manning
It’s still early
I will never understand fans who want to lose.
Yeah bro Zach Wilson and beating the rams >>> Trevor Lawrence
- There was no guarantee that Trevor Lawrence would have changed the Jets fortune. We’ve seen players struggle in one system only to later excel in another (we literally saw this happen with another former Jets QB: Sam Darnold). But could it have worked out with Lawrence? Sure but let’s not pretend it was a sure thing.
- The NFL (and NBA) drafts are a little different than MLB’s because players drafted in the former two are typically expected to make almost an immediate positive impact for their new team (or at least the top picks are). Players drafted in baseball however usually spend a few years in the minors before they get the call up (if they ever get one).
So the Mets tank, get a high draft pick, use it on whoever (or trade it) and hope in a few years that it bears fruition. That’s a much longer game than either NFL or NBA, with less guarantees.
I was talking about tanking in general, but yeah I’m literally 100% confident Trevor would have been better than Zach
I will never understand why it’s acceptable for leagues to have a system that potentially incentivizes losing in any shape, way, or form.
Very valid and different convo, however: there’s no other great way to distribute talent in the league. As an example, the raptors simply can’t sign free agents. Instead, they either have to make good trades with drafted talent (demar for kawhi) or draft talent early (Scottie Barnes). Otherwise, they’ll just never have talent at all
The system is the way it is, so I’ll never fault fans who root for tanking when it can alter the fate of a franchise like that.
That being said, I’m wholly unconvinced it’s the best solution there is. The PWHL has been trying something new, and while I’m not sure it’s perfect, anything that reduces tanking is progress.
My only concern with that is that bad teams have a hard time meaningfully improving. For example, the 0-16⁄1-15 browns would get mediocre prospects instead of baker and Garrett and would continue to be complete garbage. The lions would never get Megatron or stafford, etc.
Generationally bad teams imo are rarely that bad by complete faultless accident. It’s either extreme incompetence/cheapness by management/ownership (which shouldn’t be rewarded at all imo), or intentionally selling good players off to tank. Teams should at least prove themselves competent and making an effort before being rewarded, not the other way around.
I guess I just disagree as a jets fan. It’s not my fault Woody Johnson is incompetent, so I don’t see why the fans should be punished for it
And I would respond by saying that Woody Johnson himself should not have his failures be rewarded with good players falling into his lap.
At the end of it all, I just want a scenario where no fan bases go into the season thinking that their team should go winless to maximize their chances at the lottery in the end. There should be as few “meaningless games” as possible.
Fuck Woody, I’d just rather he be wrongfully rewarded than the rest of us wrongfully punished.
Holy shit the sage might actually work
Sage+black Unis+ McLean
What else do you gotta do?
..
Came back to this comment after the game. Ouch dude
More like the Twins work
Twins and NY teams…
YIKES
Sage farmers in the tri-state area are going to be swimming in money if sage becomes the next Grimace.
THE METS HAVE SCORED MORE THAN 2 RUNS
DON’T LET US GET LUKEWARM
Is that legal?
First lead of 2 or more since April 7!
Oh no
LMAO
MOJO WORKS
such a great call
DOES IT?
Is……………is the ritual working?
Don’t forget the fengshui thing Ron’s mom did on the off day lol
The Mets found their new Grimace early this year
NOPE
😒
The sourdough guy from our sub should get all the credit.
I actually burst into tears.
Don’t know if you’re kidding but I genuinely did a little bit lol
It’s never boring!
I’m not kidding, though I wasn’t, like, full-on sobbing
Grown man crying over a 3rd inning home run in April is crazy
Every day I wake up ecstatic I’m not a fucking Atlanta fan lmfao
Literally man
Massive amounts of copium
Yeah sucks to win a title within the last 40 years lol
Sucks to not appreciate baseball
Why would I want a title if I don’t give a fuck about baseball
I’m sorry to hear you’re not able to feel quite as strongly about your club and/or are afraid of expressing yourself emotionally.
I watch probably 150 games a year and was nervous about having a rough summer. It was brief relief, and hope is a strong and beautiful thing.
That’s crazy lmao enjoy #12
I can’t imagine spending my time trolling strangers on Reddit so I still feel up <3
It’s a sports subreddit, don’t be so sensitive about it. Worst case scenario, just compare our public leaders and then you won’t feel so bad.
Enjoy holding L #13 tomorrow
I don’t trash talk anyone about sports because most of my teams are awful and I know how I feels to lose and get put down about it over and over again. Life is hard enough, I hope everyone gets to see their team win eventually (other than maybe the Yanks…….)
On the side though, I’ll trash talk a team into the ground, but not to someone directly about their own team.
A fastball! They hit a fastball!
Twins help New York again
Twins don’t really fare well in New York to be fair
Yeah, we know
You know the streak is getting to them when he celebrates this dinger harder than he did his go ahead NLDS grand slam against the Phillies.
Thank you Satan
oh dear it’s time to feel optimism again for two to forty minutes
Optimism gone.
mhm
Oh boy have the Mets needed that for two weeks now
My King of Queens
That sound off the bat was pure sex.
Jeeeezus what a meatball.
I feel like I’ve been holding that load in for a month. Holy shit
World Series back on the menu
Just as it’s been for the past few seasons, in the Mets’ time of need, it’s Francisco Lindor providing the big.
MAN I LOVE FRANCISCO
McLean is dealing
Two 70 win teams facing off, must see tv
The ritual is working
Mojo.
Oh man, I was rooting for them to beat the record.
Uncle Steve about to corner the market on sage futures.
Let’s GOOOOOOO METS
The ONE TIME I bench him in fantasy……… eh so be it. get hot Franny.
“He Gawn.”
Piss missile
Perfect Perfect sound
Guess even Woods Richardson wants the Mets to win.
Shit was nuked
Did Franky just triple his rbi total? 😂😂😂
The sound. Pure summer in one sound bite.
Frank the tank seething
Man that swing is perfect
Yeah SWR is the type of pitcher to bring the Mets out of their funk
I love seeing Grimace. Even if he was two years ago mojo
Twins ownership even cheaped out on extending the Mets losing streak. Smh
The Mets wouldn’t blow a game like this!
Brew Crew fans shouldn’t talk about blowing games.
Least we actually made the postseason
Brewers had half the Mets payroll last year and made it to the CS, the Mets missed the playoffs
Pete Alonso Go-Ahead Homer in the 9th Inning!!!
