I've listened to Mike for many years, never have I heard him eager to knock any team esp. the Mets. Why would he do it? He wants his close relatives who are Mets fans to feel worse? As to the Yankees, so far they're having a better year than they've had for the past 18 yrs and it could all end if Judge, Soto, or Giancarlo gets injured. Baseball owners are generally rotten human beings. Met fans were stuck with Wilpons and now w. Steve Cohen.
I have been a Mets fan since 1985, I saw all the great times back then, the promise of a legacy team with amazing talent. I saw that team break apart after 1988, I still remember seeing that 9th inning Mike Scioscia home run fly over the fence off of Doc Gooden, when he was already gassed. The team lost. I remember the infamous Vince Coleman bleach incident that followed years of mediocrity. I remember the big three pitchers of Pultzifer, Isi and Wilson fall to injury and never materializing. I remember 1998 and watching Rogers walk home the winning run in the Championship series against Atlanta in game 6. I remember losing to the Yankees in the WS, the called 3rd strike on Beltran in Game 7 championship game; the countless choke jobs losing the division. Watching them lose in the world series to KC, watching the pitchers fall apart, losing DeGrom, who is arguably one of the greatest pitchers to ever lace up for the mets....on and on it goes. Nothing but heartbreak and yes.....the organization has bad karma. It's real, It might have something to do with trading in a few miracle WS wins in 69 and 86....I would rather give those WS back if it meant a perennial winner with 5 or so championships. SMH. There is nothing worse than being a Met fan, tell your kids to cheer for the Yankees who have positive karma unlike the dirty little brother in Queens.
You're giving Degrom a little too much credit. Wheeler ended up being the better pitcher and the best of that rotation that had the potential to be really special.
@@jeffreyval9665 That's because deGrom fell into the SABRmetric trap of trying to throw 102 on every pitch. It ruined his career. Bck when he paced himself and topped out at 96, he stayed in games longer and stayed healthy. He traded that in for a few months of eye-popping numbers in six inning starts, followed by endless injuries.
@ProjectMerljin There is no such thing as bad karma. The Red Sox had a Babe Ruth curse, until they began to run the team intelligently, whereupon they won four WS. I first began rooting for the Mets in 1979, so I had years of misery before I ever saw a winning team. Your list above contains a few errors, such as: Generation K was less about injury and more about underperformance; Bret Saberhagen was the bleach incident, while Vince Coleman was firecrackers and a golf club; and Kenny Rogers was '99, not '98. They missed the '98 playoffs after an epic collapse.
@@jimwerther We can agree to disagree on "Karma" which comes in many different terms. To that end, thanks for the corrections, although Gen k staff If I recall there were health issues, I could swear Pulz had to get Tommy John surgery? either way, never materialized to our expectations. Too many down times in Mets history, at least for me. Cheers
He is literally the problem right now. You wanna turn this team around, you gotta start from the top. Hated this guy since day one. Mets were better off withe Wilpons at this point.
Mike, this is so important that you are saying this about the Mets. With how much it costs to go to a game, no one is there to boo anymore. Citi gets empty or filled with dodo bird fans that don’t know what planet they’re on. You give a voice to the voiceless!!
Lindor and his massive deal have proven to be a mistake. Unfortunately for the Mets, he's unmovable because of that. Alonso must be traded this summer. Time to blow up this core. McNeil should have been traded two offseasons ago, he looks SHOT now. Mike can say all he wants about Diaz being out for a year and shrug it off, he's a real problem. That loss to Miami was a crippling one. He's isn't right and may well never be again. Sterns has quite a lot of work to do to rebuild this mess of a team. On the bright side, at least their manager can't stop smiling lol
Why isn't he getting boooood the way Bobby Bonilla did ? Bonilla was better years ago but he basically got abused by fans and media.. And his contract was 29 million for 5 years PEANUTS to what Lindor makes. Bonilla's batting average was at least 265-270 sometimes 290 ... Lindor 205 batting average 10 years 341 million that's beyond pitiful
@@AnthonyScarpa-er3sqdude it's called inflation. Contracts have went up, you can't take the numbers at face value. As well as batting average not being valued as it used to be, look at Sweiber for example. Saying all that I agree Lindor deserves to be booed based on his contract and performance.
@@AnthonyScarpa-er3sq Lindor isn't comfortable in NY. He has never been comfortable in NY. He's not a guy that understands the NY mentality. It's a performance sensitive city and he wants fans to accept his failures despite his contract. That isn't ever going to happen and he needs to realize that his smile only works when he earns his contract through performance. Some guys don't have the ability to excel in the big city. He's clearly one of them. The Mets have no bats. You can't win if you don't score runs. Look at this teams scoring early in games. It's almost non existent. That puts huge pressure on a very ordinary pitching rotation. It creates havoc for a bullpen that expects little support from their offense.. This team needs to sell off everything. Alonso is gone if he hits free agency. They might as well get some solid prospects before the trade deadline for him. This team won't win next year either. Unfortunately..... they are three years from contention. That's when some of the moves they've made will get their footing at the big league level. Trade Baty too. He's scuffled for two years in Queens. He has an average glove....no speed.... and a below average bat with very questionable power. Vientos should be playing over him and should have been playing third base long ago. What is to like about this team?? They have a growing farm system......a very young catcher that will be one of the best.....a young pitcher in Christian Scott that will get better and better......a kid in Vientos that potentially could be a solid power bat..... and a GM that has everything at his disposal to improve this roster. He has assets to sell off for young prospects and an owner with money to spend in order to compete. Id tear this team down and build a new young team with speed and pitching. Speed kills in baseball. Speed creates runs. Speed keeps pitchers uncomfortable. Speed creates triples rather than doubles. Speed allows defenses to glove balls heading through the holes. Cohen has the money to add power and big names through free agency. Start building with youth and speed and add on from that
How does a guy like Steve Cohen get to be worth $16 B and make so many stupid baseball decisions? Prematurely signed Lindor to 10 years and $340 M. Asked Sandy Anderson for advice and hired Billy Eppler. Fired Buck Showalter after one bad season. Signed Edwin Diaz to 5 years and $100 M. Hired David Stearns who hired rookie manager Carlos Mendoza.
You're not getting anything for McNeil. You'll have to eat his contract. What you get for the remainder of Alonso's contract will be disappointing. He's on track for perhaps .230 with 40 hr's if he's lucky. Not breathtaking. Actually check that; he's just hurt his hand. Maybe a fracture.
I agree with you on Holmes. He is especially shaky when he comes in and there are runners on base. Holmes is a free agent at the end of the year and he will want to be paid. I would pass and plan for a replacement.
It's great to have an owner willing to spend money, but not if the owner selects a terrible GM. I never understood the Eppler hiring. The guy was a total failure in Anaheim, not one playoff appearance and the insane Trout contract. He did nothing to merit consideration for the Mets' GM, just the opposite. Yet Cohen thought he was a great hire. Eppler promptly went out and gave huge multi-year contracts to pitchers in their 40s. Cohen is still paying their salaries!
Alonso and Alvarez to name two Mike…. Horrificly fast plummet these last 30 games. Mets are sunk without a now very unlikely awakening. So sad this main group has soiled the bed AGAIN. Sad for the fans who root for and believe in them whole-heartedly.
@@jimwerther in all seriousness, I’d call Cleveland and see about Gimenez coming back for Lindor and huge cash relief to take contract (like they did with Verlander and Scherzer). Probably the only place it works as every other fan base be pissed picking up that jake
@@Chize41 I disliked the deal the day it happened, partially because I really liked Gimenez, and partially because I thought paying Lindor all the money they would obviously have to give him, to play deep into his 30s, made absolutely no sense. I disagree with your proposal. For one thing, why would Cleveland do it? For another, other teams would be happy to take Lindor on the cheap. He is seen as a very good player, albeit less than he was in Cleveland, and they would assume that leaving NY would benefit him. If Steve Cohen wants to rid himself of Lindor, without expecting back any serious prospects, the Mets would have to pay a significant part of the contract, but would not have to eat a huge amount. There are teams in baseball who think they are close to contending seriously but need someone to anchor the shortstop position, who would be thrilled to have Lindor at short.
😂😂 so they should hire a witch doctor? Or something? Didn't they just lose to the Royals in 2015 World Series? Maybe the reason is they have bad players?? Just saying
Bill Buckner was _not_ the reason the Mets won in 1986. The game was already tied, and Mookie would have beaten it out anyway. There are many bigger Red Sox goats than Buckner in that series.
After trading for Verlander and Scherzer last season they flopped and have made it clear they’re rebuilding so dumping Alonzo and Lindor for prospects seem inevitable
The Mets have the highest team salary in 2024, they are paying 2 of the highest individual salaries to 2 players who play for other teams and were traded for players not MLB ready, they fired "The Manager of The Year" and replaced him with a career bench-coach, yet we're supposed to believe that Steve Cohen is playing 3-d chess while everyone is playing checkers. I don't think so. Worst run team in MLB.
Unfortunately, The Rangers are done. Mika & Panarin not showing up at all. Igor can only do so much. They’ve has a great season but it’s obvious Florida is a much better team in this series. At least The Yankees look good
Whole team will be up for fire sale. Everybody is going, even Mr. & Mrs. Met are on the trade block. Scherzer was right. Things will be shit for awhile until all those prospects the Mets have been acquiring start filling up the roster. A good 2-3 years of shit shoveling for my bum ass Mets and that's a nice prediction. Soto was never coming here. Yams was never coming here. Looking forward to the Knicks in October.
So the Mets had a team meeting. It was reported that Nimmo later confirmed that it was shortstop Francisco Lindor who took the leadership role and organized the team meeting, but that many players spoke their mind. “My instincts were just like ‘we gotta talk’”, Lindor said after the meeting had adjourned. “I wanted to just let everyone talk. Tell me what’s happening. How do we change this? What can we do? Give me some knowledge. Give me something I haven’t heard.” 🤦🏻♂️ Is Lindor serious? How about he starts by looking in the mirror and accept his huge part in this team’s downward spiral! He’s been killing us all year long! 😒
Holmes blew 3 saves. One vs Seattle on weak grounders, a bloop, and an error. One vs angels, when he gave up inherited runners, and one when he gave up the manfred runner. The O’s have blown more saves. Anyway trade for miller; he’ll blow his arm out and will need TJ surgery or he will fail because NY is not Oakland.
Hal and his budget? Why does no one seem to mention the annual appreciation value of the team? According to Forbes, the Yankees are worth $7.55B. That is a 6% or a $450M increase over the previous year. More than enough to pay for Soto who is a brand juggernaut who will further drive valuation. Yes, the $450M is not income but what billionaire wants to pay income taxes versus deferring gains?
Rangers playing rope-a-dope hockey. Panthers throwing everything but the kitchen sink, to see what goes in the net. But NY is weathering the onslaught with Igor, then opportunistically landing a knockout blow as soon as FLA lets up. It worked in games 2 & 3. Hopefully, we see it 2 more times in the ECF.
Why would Soto want the losing Mets? He went through that the last couple of years with the Nationals and then with Padres. He wants the cash, but he also wants to win having won the World Series in 2019!
I love the Mets theme song: Meet the Mets Beat the Mets Step right up and defeat the Mets There're a suck team, you know its so. I have to say the they really do blow... to the refrain
Rangers d-men are injured and they make bad plays because they are worried about getting hit! Rempe is actually at home and helps keep the puck in the Panthers zone. And Lafrenier is a beast. Those are the only two Rangers who look comfortable.
Let’s be honest: The Mets, Knicks, and Rangers have left NY wanting for multiple decades now. The 70’s and 80’s, mean at least 4 generations haven’t seen World Championships. At least we have the Yanks, even if it has been over a decade.
@@jimwerther Who gives a sht about him being happy-go-lucky. He's happy because he was given an extremely overpriced contract and not living up to it. This isn't a popularity contest so wake up.
Things will get worse before they get better. How prophetic! Diaz goes on the IL. Pete gets hurt. Lopez throws his glove into the stands, then calls the Mets the worst team in MLB before being DFAd.
The mets and jets. Are pathetic. Awful ownership ran like crap. Dont expect the jets to do anything this year. They will find a way to lose like they always do 👋
I can’t get enough of Mike crushing the Mets. Back to being one of the worst run franchises in the league. Cohen has been a disaster so far. Team is doomed for years to come
If you notice ..Rizzo has been going to his glove side too far..cutting of Torres and creating a do or die get over for the pitchers. He needs to play the bag more..he's being too aggressive. Imho
Wouldn't matter, his stats have holes in them now not like even 5 yrs ago. The move for the 6ers is to move Embiid before his next season ending injury.
Face it, Mike stopped following sports years ago. Just one example: Every Met rant mentions one young player: Alvarez. Mike has literally never heard of Christian Scott.
Alonzo needs to be signed . He is going to hit 40 this year. We will rule the day we let him go. Join the Phillies and kill us watching him hit home runs.
and get rid of that pitching coach! Every year we can't throw the ball. I'd question what the batting coach does. He was a demotion from a bench coach last year
I love the fact that Franceser couldn't stay away from da spawts tawk even after his retirement, uhkay? Because after some of those classic Mets rants (Terry Collins/Rich Kotite 2012 rant, Mickey Calaway 2018 rant, Edwin Diaz blown save vs Phillies 2019 rant), I was depressed I wasn't going to hear it anymore. Thank God podcasts have really taken off and we can get some low grade rants from these semi retired blowhards like Franceser and Joe Benigno from their living room. And this Mets team is maybe the worst I've ever seen dating back to when I started watching during the 2000 World Series. The Mets had some BAD teams from 2002-2005 and 2009-2014 (when they were fielding a AA lineup every day), but Mike Baxter had 10x more heart than the "leaders" on today's team. It's unbelievable. Back afta this.
You know Mike adores when he gets to crush the disastrous Mets while the Yanks are goin’ great guns.
Yankees are second rate compared to the Orioles, good luck beating that team 😂

what did Mets and media expect? They traded all their players off. It's a rebuild year.
Holmes blew 3 saves. One vs Seattle on weak grounders, a bloop, and an error. One vs angels, when he gave up inherited runners, and one when he gave up the manfred runner. The O’s have blown more saves. Anyway trade for miller; he’ll blow his arm out and will need TJ surgery or he will fail because NY is not Oakland.
Mets going hang there hat on Soto, but he’s not leaving Yankees
Hal and his budget? Why does no one seem to mention the annual appreciation value of the team? According to Forbes, the Yankees are worth $7.55B. That is a 6% or a $450M increase over the previous year. More than enough to pay for Soto who is a brand juggernaut who will further drive valuation. Yes, the $450M is not income but what billionaire wants to pay income taxes versus deferring gains?
And they thought they'd be better without Buck. Hysterical..
Hey Mike, tell me what Jorge Lopez said that was inaccurate. We'll wait.... 🙂↕️
Rangers playing rope-a-dope hockey. Panthers throwing everything but the kitchen sink, to see what goes in the net. But NY is weathering the onslaught with Igor, then opportunistically landing a knockout blow as soon as FLA lets up. It worked in games 2 & 3. Hopefully, we see it 2 more times in the ECF.
Mikes on. He’s ready to go
Why would Soto want the losing Mets? He went through that the last couple of years with the Nationals and then with Padres. He wants the cash, but he also wants to win having won the World Series in 2019!
I love the Mets theme song:
Meet the Mets
Beat the Mets
Step right up and defeat the Mets
There're a suck team, you know its so.
I have to say the they really do blow...
to the refrain
Rangers are 2 wins from the final and he goes with MAY baseball
LMAO Facts!
Yep. However, it's a numbers game. More Mets fans. Mike knows the numbers. Also, he's not the biggest hockey fan.
@@domenicdurante966 Right now Mets tickets: $4 Ranger tickets: $500
If The Yanks win it all with Soto this year, they might let him walk. Imho
Rangers d-men are injured and they make bad plays because they are worried about getting hit! Rempe is actually at home and helps keep the puck in the Panthers zone. And Lafrenier is a beast. Those are the only two Rangers who look comfortable.
Let’s be honest: The Mets, Knicks, and Rangers have left NY wanting for multiple decades now. The 70’s and 80’s, mean at least 4 generations haven’t seen World Championships. At least we have the Yanks, even if it has been over a decade.
mike when the mets were winning in april:🤐🤐🤐🤫🤫
mike when the mets are losing in may:😂😂😂🫵🫵🫵🫵🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆
Lindor sucks .. But why is he not getting boooood out of N.Y the way Bobby Bonilla did... Bonilla was better he had a batting average of 265 -270 ..
Unfortunately, he's Teflon to the Hispanic fans.
Bonilla had a horribly grating attitude. He was soooo phony. Lindor is happy-go-lucky, therefore hard to hate.
@@jimwerther Who gives a sht about him being happy-go-lucky. He's happy because he was given an extremely overpriced contract and not living up to it. This isn't a popularity contest so wake up.
@@jsciarri
Good lord 🤦♂️
That's a fair point. Lindor really has been a massive disappointment.
I love when Mike destroys the Metsies
What you lost your mind Mike?
Bobby Witt the MVP.
Things will get worse before they get better. How prophetic! Diaz goes on the IL. Pete gets hurt. Lopez throws his glove into the stands, then calls the Mets the worst team in MLB before being DFAd.
The mets and jets. Are pathetic. Awful ownership ran like crap. Dont expect the jets to do anything this year. They will find a way to lose like they always do 👋
Panthers in 6, back after dis!
The Mets still have dancers on the dugout so all is not lost.
Dog days of May. Same ol' Mets.
I can’t get enough of Mike crushing the Mets. Back to being one of the worst run franchises in the league. Cohen has been a disaster so far. Team is doomed for years to come
They have a second baseman who comes back from injury next year. The catcher. Keep Alonzo . Put vientos in everyday .
Shout out to “The Godfather” reference.
Subtle but it's there
If you notice ..Rizzo has been going to his glove side too far..cutting of Torres and creating a do or die get over for the pitchers. He needs to play the bag more..he's being too aggressive. Imho
LeBron in Philly??Knicks fans would flip the F out
Wouldn't matter, his stats have holes in them now not like even 5 yrs ago. The move for the 6ers is to move Embiid before his next season ending injury.
@@mykelc205 maybe, although I would like to see if LeBron can rub off on Joel..but your point is valid.
“Can’t get worse for Mets fans” Pete just injured his hand. 💀💀💀
wtf
i agree with no casino in queens.. less gambling out there the better.
Alonso can't throw, can't hit. Needs to go.
i hate when they say "we're better then this" no your not.....unwatchable....
"You'll be to have archery practice at Citi Field" ... Mike, we miss you at the FAN; sports talk have fallen off a cliff.
Hey Mike heard a rumor that Oakland 103mph closer for Hot Yankee prospect Spencer Jones?
He will be shot by the end of the season. It’s easy to close for Oakland, but closing for the Yankees will be completely different.
@cambonious23 maybe or maybe not guess would be bad move if that happened with him cause Spencer being compared to another Judge
The guys are undependable. Look at Felix Bautista. I would not want to trade too much for them.
Francesca has the Shiniest Teeth in the Podcast world!
This was before the Mets recruited The Grimace. 😃
Classic Mike.🎉
GO RANGERS GO!
Mr. Cohen, please trade Alonso to the Yankees soon. Soto-Judge-Alonso-Stanton the Murderers Row lineup for the playoffs!
Lol I knew he was going to make a Godfather reference there...
I miss Mike railing against the garbage Mets. And I’m a Mets fan. I’m actually happy for guys like deGrom who escape.
Could you imajinnn that place in Orgist?
Actually the Mets are playing better since this commentary. 8-5 in last 13 games. Long season folks.
Aren't the Mets in rebuild mode? Just saying. And I'm a Phillies fan by the way.
Playoffs? I’m a Phillies fan and feel bad for Mets fans.
Not a Holmes guy either. Set up? Yeah.
Red Sox are giving fans some hope.... with the youth they have .... BUT... do they keep them....?..!... sooo... yes Mets need to start from scratch...
He should go on WABC
Phightins taking the chip this year
Muck the Fets
Y’all r a absolute joke 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mets are horrible. but yankees can win a 150 games and still lose in the playoffs.
Soooo wha ya point dares only 1 champ. Win big..lose big.
Lindor. Will fill out. His numbers will come around.
Mike, you need to add some background music. Lots of dead air keeps making me think my Internet connection is going out.
He needs to not have long pauses
Mike says the Mets starting pitching has been bad. Does he follow at _all_ anymore? No, he doesn't. PS - He's never heard of Christian Scott.
Let's go Rangers! No more penalties!
Mets SUCK !!!!
We know that
As a Yankees fan who left New York I don’t see why there’s all this met hate. They compare themselves to each other and there’s no rivalry.
Since when does Mike talk hockey? The Rangers are overhyped.
Face it, Mike stopped following sports years ago. Just one example: Every Met rant mentions one young player: Alvarez. Mike has literally never heard of Christian Scott.
Alonzo needs to be signed . He is going to hit 40 this year. We will rule the day we let him go. Join the Phillies and kill us watching him hit home runs.
If the Mets will rule the day they let him go, then why keep him?
Trade Pete Now
Can we please fire Mendoza and bring back Buck?
Buck wasn't gonna coach through this. They waved the flag in February.
Buck must be gloating now, because nobody can deny that the lack of 2023 success wasn't his fault.
@@mykelc205no one besides Stearns wanted him fired. He wanted to stay. They would be above .500 with Buck
and get rid of that pitching coach! Every year we can't throw the ball. I'd question what the batting coach does. He was a demotion from a bench coach last year
They should never fired Buck. Now this team is in shambles
I love the fact that Franceser couldn't stay away from da spawts tawk even after his retirement, uhkay? Because after some of those classic Mets rants (Terry Collins/Rich Kotite 2012 rant, Mickey Calaway 2018 rant, Edwin Diaz blown save vs Phillies 2019 rant), I was depressed I wasn't going to hear it anymore. Thank God podcasts have really taken off and we can get some low grade rants from these semi retired blowhards like Franceser and Joe Benigno from their living room. And this Mets team is maybe the worst I've ever seen dating back to when I started watching during the 2000 World Series. The Mets had some BAD teams from 2002-2005 and 2009-2014 (when they were fielding a AA lineup every day), but Mike Baxter had 10x more heart than the "leaders" on today's team. It's unbelievable. Back afta this.
