Why didn't Murphy go?
Or Jeff Weaver during the 2006 postseason. Devil magic got him a sweet contract the following off-season.

Unless the Cubs are the Royals in disguise, this game is over.

A sweep would not shock me. The Mets are just a better overall team.
You don't remember 2006 much, do you? I do agree with you tho.
Yeah absolutely. He's been doing that all year and that's one thing that will never show up on a stat sheet.

DUDA NOOOOOOOOOO
2015 Mets have much better pitching though.

2015 Mets have a better rotation overall.
Tex and Gregorious for Harvey
It's hilarious looking back at the pitching the Mets brought into the 2006 playoffs.
Actually it does.

Well Glavine, Pedro, and El Duque all got hurt. Trachsel sucked, and we had to start Ollie Perez in the NLCS.
We were lucky we made it that far.
"Good baserunning that makes runs possible" is not a specific stat, bud...

How did the Braves keep Smoltz/Glavine/Hudson long enough for those 13 straight Division titles?
I'm trying to picture a deGrom/Thor/Harvey future and I can see them keeping the Mets competitive enough to go 5-6 straight divison titles.
Oliver fucking Perez, that goober.

Matz and Wheeler too, lol.
He did pitch pretty good though.

Assuming Wheeler stays healthy enough post Tommy John, yeah.
It's nuts how quickly the Mets accumulated pitching talent.
When he felt like it, he could be one of the best pitchers in baseball or just straight fuck up.
I hated watching him pitch. You never knew which Ollie Perez you would get.

And Marcos Molina, and Gsellman, and Matt Bowman, and Blake Taylor.
We got prospects, too.

Hudson didn't join until 2005, the last year of the 14 straight division titles.
Ted Turner had an infinite bank account. They signed Greg Maddux to the richest free agent deal ever (until a week later when Barry Bonds signed with the Giants). Turner gave Smoltz and Glavine whatever they wanted too.
But in 2002, Turner was pushed out due to the adomidable AOL Time Warner merger. The Braves were under orders to cut money and couldn't pay Glavine what he wanted, so he took off to the Mets.
And Smoltz was a relief pitcher from 2001-2004 (missed the entire 2000 season due to Tommy John surgery) until he went back to the rotation in 2005. Smoltz was very close to signing with the Yankees after 2001 with promises of going back to the rotation and way more money than the Braves were offering, but Smoltz chose loyalty and stayed.

He was a pretty damn dominant closer though.
But yeah the Braves had unlimited money during their run, the Mets, theoretically, should be able to afford to keep at least 2 of the big 5.
Right. Has Montero completely fallen out of favor?

His shoulder is shot.

Gabriel Ynoa also.
For now / surgery can fix, or fucked long term?

Colin Cowherd probably just got triggered
My Duda's still steady at first. If he gets streaky about now, that would be so awesome.

He says there's just constant discomfort and pain, they say there's no structural damage so surgery isn't a choice. He's just in pain when he pitches.
Sandy has basically written him off.
