MLB 2025 Season Official Thread

You'll like this one too homie. 

A lot of great Mets material with Doc Gooden and Strawberry, they had some memorable years in the 80's it appears.  I didn't realize they were that good, I thought Gooden and straw flamed out fast because of cocaine but they had more good years with the Mets than I thought.  A lot of famous players on those teams.  Keith Hernandez was in Seinfeld, lol (Jerry is a die hard Mets fan and has a crush on him in the episode, lol).

I knew the Phillies were good, I like a lot of the Pete Rose stuff at the beginning of the decade he was still good in his 40's as an out of shape white boy!  And then in the late 80's he gets busted and kicked off the Reds and they have the upset victory over the A's.

Sandwiched in the middle he glosses over the Royals, which was bad, because the Royals dominated the 80's just like the Mets did, but he spends a lot of time on your Mets.



Cheers to the 80's!  The greatest decade in the history of humanity !!

thanks man

those 80s teams were something else...I missed most of their heyday especially the WS title in'86

this will also give me a distraction from the horrible play the Mets have exhibited since the All Star Break lol

Yankees are faltering as well now that Judge is out.  I'm shocked, I just always expect the Yankees and Mets to win because of their payrolls.  I still think both NY teams will come around in the end and make the playoffs.  Do you still think the Mets will make the playoffs?

As for the Old, Old school MLB kick that I'm onto these days, this is one I've never seen that I'm going to watch tonight.  This documentary and Billy Crystal's love for Mickey Mantle almost had me crying this morning.  After work today I'm going to watch the movie 61—looks like it will be amazing.  Billy Crystal put every detail into the movie from the way a guy would walk to the plate that season if he had an injury for a few weeks.

I still think they can but if you put a gun to my head I would say no. Our starters keep going 4 innings and that puts too much strain on our bullpen day in and day out. We made some trades at the deadline for bullpen arms but we didn’t get a starter. I think that will come back to haunt us.

On the bright side Soto is starting to come around and Alonso has been pretty solid lately as well. So there’s that lol

Looking forward to that review

Mets won...Hallelujah

On a Barry Bonds binge still—

I believe in personal responsibility and legalization so I don’t care that much that Bonds to PEDS and as for him allegedly being a jerk I guess I was unfortunately fooled by the media and missed out on a lot of great years of baseball like their 2002 run—because his inner circle is Dusty Baker, Willy Mays, and obviously his father is Bobby Bonds and even Jim Leyland he considered like a father—if that is your circle then how in the world can you be a bad guy growing up and following in the footsteps of such great baseball men—and honoring them in every interview and everything you do on the baseball field??

So unfortunately I was fooled and I only got to catch those Pirate years because they were the Braves rival on TBS —but I missed watching and enjoying the career of a modern day Babe Ruth and baseball Michael Jordan, smh

So now the good news is I get to go back and watch it all on the YouTube Time Machine.  I’m going to make my own YouTube short of some of the classic dugout moments like the kids in the Giants dugout—some as little as 3 years old, working as bat boys and crying at the loss—very touching moment I just only became aware of today.  I will post my video later.

Smart phones (pulling up game stats at a red light or toilet break) and analytics (Brad Pitt Moneyball) is what got me back into baseball ⚾️ in 2007 for the first time the 90’s strike era.  So I missed some great Barry Bonds years.

Anything that happened in baseball from the strike in 95 — 2007 I totally missed out on.  And before 95’ I followed everything in baseball—but 2007 and beyond I just follow everything about the Royals and also like hearing about the analytical/Sabermetrics stuff.

And HighEyeCue keeping me up with the Mets and Sccit/Dog wit the Artful Dodgers

Wtf was that Mets game yesterday man it’s like their trying to do their best dodgers impression and suck more

It’s okay the season goes up and down as long as you make the playoffs you can win it all.  Don’t worry about the bumps in the road, even the best teams in history lose 60 games its a long season

like Infinite said it’s a long season…as I am typing this I’m watching Sean Manea give up a run in the 1st inning lol

I like the Dodgers chances better than the Mets chances though

yeah when Doggy was complaining I went and checked the Dodgers record and I thought they would be like closer to .500 the way he was complaining, but they were like a whole 15 games over .500, lol

it's like dude, the Dodgers are going to be fine, as far as going to the playoffs.  Unless you are like insisting on a division win or something.

Royals are back in the race again we are 1 game over .500.    The trades are working out with crafty veterens like Adam Frazier who can find a whole in the defense and just poke the ball opposite field for a base hit.  Bergert seems like he's gonna be a steal.  Salvy is making his last big punch like George Foreman.  Vinny Paz is starting to creep up to the top of the RBI race, and Mikel Garcia is continuing his breakout year, Noah Cameron has had the best start to a major league pitching career of any pitcher in the last 40 freaking years!!

But ultimately, to channel my inner Bill Parcells (wasn't it him that said it?) "We are what our record says we are".  So we are one game over and 3 games out of the playoffs so we still need one or two more guys to step up to get over the hump.

we are 18-22 in our last 40 games .. it's been pretty brutal

and just like that the Dodgers swept the Padres and the Mets won 2 out of 3 against the Mariners

Baseball is a funny game lol
