If this wasn't so predictable I'd laugh.
Harvey better be available to the media. Crap like this is why it's so hard to like this sport anymore.
I'm still laughing about Girardi using 6 or 7 pitchers, I lost count, in a blowout shutout.

Cuddyer strikes out with the bases loaded, doubles and singles with 2 outs and no one on.
Yay!
Yay!

I'm not nervous yet, but if they start losing to the Braves tomorrow....
. For me, and I will be 65 in November, sports in general are very tough, new world and back in the day, blah, blah, blah etc. etc. But the thing that is toughest for me is that this is looked on in modern day baseball as the right move, Collins will defend it and Harvey could care less, all he and Boros are thinking about is the $200m waiting down the road. Another day they can knock off the calendar and he pitched like a stud for 5 innings which makes him Tom Seaver in modern day baseball. Often think I should have my head examined for rooting like I do, but who wants to work on a 65 year old loonie?

He's playing with a guy with a spine problem, a 43-year-old dude who throws junk up there and still, somehow, wins most of the time, guys who can get hurt at any given moment...you can't pitch at least 6 innings? He had 77 pitches. I love your post because I'm only, I guess, 38 and I don't get it.
All these rules and limitations and there are more injuries than even before. Let them pitch.
I hate to say it, but if I'm Matt Harvey and they even THOUGHT to take ME out of a game where I'm throwing a one-hitter against the Yankees in a pennant race, you'd have to rip my arm off to stop me from going out there to pitch the 6th inning. The freaking 6th!!

OK. Reality check. Mets have a six game lead, 13 games to go, and many of us Mets fans are in a total panic.
4 extraordinarily talented starting pitchers, one 42 year old veteran that has won 14 games. We expected to roar to the finish line after a team that has sizzled since the all-star break, and for the past 5 games, stumbled. The starting pitching is fine, at times dominant, the middle bullpen shaky as hell, and there is a lot of depth in the field.
Met fans (and the team) need to relax, play some good ball this week, and it will be all but over. Panic leads to failure.

. All certainly true but I hope last nights giveaway by the Mets organization and Harvey doesn't prove to be a negative turning point. Maybe not, but we shall see, they have lost 4 of 5 at home and that's not panic, that is fact. They had 3 of those extraordinary pitchers going in those games and still lost. Very bad message sent last night IMO but I am old school admittedly.

If I am running the Mets, I tell Harvey, you are pitching 2 more games with no limitations than you can go home. Hopefully DeGrom, Noah and Matz get hot in playoffs. Just want to get there would rather he pitch normally down stretch than save him for one start per series in playoffs.
As I see it the problem is who is running the Mets? Collins, Alderson, Boros, Harvey? If I were Harvey's teammate this would be a serious issue because the "macho man" bitched about the 6 man rotation earlier and now seems perfectly fine taking care of his own business with little concern for the pennant race. He had plenty to say when posturing was called for but is nowhere to be found now that we are at the place where the rubber meets the road. And in fairness to Harvey, who I am not a fan of, the Mets seem perfectly content "saving" him for his next team. IMO, last night was a very big game, the Mets have clinched nothing and now the Nats have 10 games to pick up at least three, not remotely out of the realm of possibility. The Mets obviously learned nothing from the Nats shutting down Strasberg.

I was there also. Also in 2008. Had season tix from 2006-2009. In 2008 all they had to do was to win to close out Shea Stadium in style and then play a one game playoff vs. the Brewers. They lost. If you are a true Mets fan, you woke up today with a queasy feeling in your stomach - I know I have it.
Going into Saturday, they had an incredibly easy road. Go 8-7, and no matter what the Mats do, it's over. Now reasonably if they 7-6 they will win it as long as one of those wins are against the Nats. No one wants to play the Nats in a meaningful game, but if they do, perhaps they should go Harvey 5 and then Matz 4
This ALL stems from Boras' loaning million$ to Harvey to give him a lavish lifestyle he (Matt) wanted. He is way undervalued now and Boras has loaned him serious money to live the life that he wants and that Boras thinks he should live. Deep down I think and believe Harvey is a baller and wants to be out there, but he also doesn't want to be on Boras' s***t list. This is Boras 101, all over it. Sucks for the fans, the Mets players, manager, coaches, and even Matt.

Before Harvey came up in the 4th, Collins was on the phone. I am guessing he had to call Boras to see how many innings he could pitch
