Mets Police Morning Laziness: Happy Thorsday

Here’s the plan.   Ready?

Syndergaard is going to start the game and pitch one inning.

Then Matt Harvey will come in and pitch the second and hopefully more.

Let’s break down this dumb-ass plan.

What’s wrong with Syndergaard?  What have the Mets warned us about?  It’s that he gets too amped up and overthrows and loved when yahoos were fawning over him throwing 101 that weekend back in April.  So let’s start him in front of the last big crowd (fireworks night) so he can get amped up and overthrow!

What’s wrong with Matt Harvey?  Lots of things including his psyche.  Arm issues aside, and there are many, we continuously see that TDK does not react well when things go bad.  When he’s on and confident he can throw a ball through a wall and bang supermodels.  As soon as a runner gets on base he turns into Harv.

This is a guy who thrives on being The Man.   So let’s let him know that he’s behind Thor in the pecking order (not to mention JDG who never gets mentioned because he doesn’t have a cool superhero name) and eff with his brain and his pregame ritual.   Harvey doesn’t even get his own Harvey Day.

My prediction:  Thor strikes out the side, everyone gets amped up, and we get more “soreness” reports on Monday.   Then. the Dark Knight is so bad that the loyal to the last out crowd boos him at home.

Great plan Mets.  Great plan.    This is why the smart teams do this stuff on the road.

 

SLACKISH REACTION: There was a time if someone asked you to choose between the Mets and Vietnam you would have picked the Mets.  Well, last night I knocked out two episodes of the Ken Burns doc, then tried episode two of The Deuce (got bored, I hate the James Franco playing two roles thing, and DVR-canceled it), then some other stuff.  A nice night on the couch.  And you guys think I would have tuned in to see Murph.  Nah.  Anyway the Mets won and closed to within 26 games of first place!

Today has it all!  Batman, Thor, fireworks, the best weather ever, even the t-shirt people and their dumb ass He Struck Him Out chant.  (wow second use of dumb-ass in one post)  If you want to take in one Mets game before the season dies, this is it.
