I know I'm going against everything I say on here when others rush to snap judgements after such a small sample size but this team has been awful this week. The Bullpen has an ERA of over 11 and has walked in 3 runs!
I think I'll start gambling and doing the opposite to Pete Rose and always bet against the Mets. I'll be rich in no time.
That assumes there's a bookie somewhere that likes the Mets to win.

Even if their opponents are odds on, I can still make something. it'll take me longer to make enough to retire but I'll get there eventually.0 -

I think you can relax there Jack I know there has been bull pen implosions but it was against the Nats who's bats are hot as hell.
Any optimism I have had for the season has only been increased, starting pitching has been good if not great but the bats and bullpen have been pretty hot.
Desmond, Zimmerman, La Roche flying .. its going to be a long year thank god!
:D :D
On a side note though your starting pitching looks good if not great.0 -

The Nats bats didn't even need to be hot though, 3 runs were walked in (4-0 counts each time). It was like having Oliver Perez pitching again.
Yeah the Mets starters look ok and there's more to come up shortly but they are not going to be able to pitch 9 innings so until the bullpen is sorted and the hitters stop striking out (33 times in 3 games!) it makes no difference.
One bit of warning on your optimism though, this time last season the Nats were 3-0 and hot as hell after sweeping the Marlins and we know what happened after that.0 -

Big big day in Boston. Home opener, but more importantly the WS rings - which none of them have seen yet - are being handed out.
Festivities start at 7pm GMT, but the door open at Fenway at 11:45am in Boston! Gonna be one for the history books books I hope.
The other funny thing to note is that Buckholz, who's the Sox's number four starter this week, will be pitching against the Brewers number four starter.
Kinda illustrates the starting pitching depth.
Also heard and interest tidbit this morning. Most teams get their relievers up pretty frequently during a game, even when they don't end up pitching. In 2013 the Sox only got Uehara up TWICE in the entire year, when it didn't pitch. Which probably explains why he's not completely shattered after pitching into October last year. Interesting approach and one that makes a lot of sense when you consider it's mostly ex-pitching coaches that run the Sox these days 0 -

You can safely assume that most every Sox fan will be enjoying a few tonight. I know I will!
On a side note, Drew won't be there to collect his ring. Kinda sad at this point.

Really can't wait for Scott Boras to either retire, or price himself out of baseball. (The latter would be quite ironic)0 -

Well Gomes is probably already drunk
As for Boras, he's just awful. I think one of the reason I like the Sox approach these last two years is that they're kinda saying, "there is another way to win that doesn't involve 250M, 10 year deals".
Boras get the work BECAUSE he gets the money - ergo if teams stopped giving him what he wants he'd be out of business.
Players kinda seem to get this as well; following the money doesn't guarantee success or happiness, especially when you can reject that attitude and STILL have a massive payday, and have success and play for a team that wins.0 -

Don't you know that Gomes' career BA when drunk is over .4000 -

There's a DIRECT correlation between his OBP and his BAC. 0 -

In my vast experience of beer league softball.......when the effects of certain beverages cause you to see multiple balls......you should try and hit the left one.0 -
