Building something Special 84 Mets

[ewing6]

New owner Fred Wilpon and manger Davy Johnson were talking in the Met's main office after the decision to fire their gm was released to public. The Mets felt they had talent to be a very good team. Lead by young players Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry the Mets have a strong future. They discussed what kind of GM they wanted for their team. They need a GM who could get good vets to go with their young guys. Another skill they wanted was the ability to find good picks since they expected to have high picks for the next few years. They started to read over the men who were interested in the job.

Fred Wilpon was setting in his office on a quiet october day listening to the O's and Phill game 5. Then Garry Maddox lined out to Cal Ripken JR at short and Fred could picture the celebrating going on. After that he turned off the game. He wanted to see what that feeling was like when his team won the World Series. He knew that his choice for the GM of the team would have a huge effect on this. Then his secretary, Erik Smith walked in the room.

"Hello Erik."

"Hello Fred, how are you today?"

"I'm good Erik. What do you need?"

"You got a letter Fred."

"Who is it from Erik?"

"It is from a x-met great."

" Who is it from Erik."

" It is from.....

[ewing6]

"Bud Harrelson." Said Erik Smith.

Fred Wilpon felt chills running up his shoulder. He was really excited. He hoped Bud was asking for the GM job because he seemed like the perfect guy. The fans love him and I feel he is a great baseball guy as well who can help turn us around.

"Can I have the letter Erik?"

"Yes, here you go Fred."

"Thank you Erik."

Fred anxiously opened the letter. He was eager to read what it said.

Dear Fred,
I know the Mets are looking for a new GM and I feel I'm the man for the job. I love baseball and I know the fans love me from my playing days. This team has some great young talent and has the potential to get back to the WS. I wouldn't ask for this job without a plan and I have got one. I am going to build a system focused on our pitching. In order to do this I have contacted Sandy Koufax and he agreed to be my pitching coach if I got the job. He loves the young pitchers we have. The kid he is most impressed with is Doc Gooden. He feels we can build a great young staff around Gooden. He will also try and build a good offense. It won't be full of stars but will have good bats and be a good complement to our pitching. Our offense will be around Strawberry. So you can get a fan fav GM and one of the best pitchers ever has your pitching coach and we can build around Straw and Doc. I feel this will get New York rocking again and we can do some great things. Cleary both my side and your side benefit from this. Please let me know when we can arrange a press conference.

From,
Bud Harrelson

Fred has the biggest smile you will ever see across his face. He wrote back as fast as he could saying yes and asking if the press conference could be next week.

d00d awesome start

[ewing6]

Today was the big press conference. Fred Wilpon was going to reveal the new gm of the New York Mets. Fred started out the talking.

"Ladies and gentlemen I am here to announce the new gm of the New York Mets. However there is more than just that. Today is a day that can possibly change the state of the franchise for a long long time. Ladies and gentlemen your new gm, walking in though the door on my right is Bud Harrelson."

The crowd gave him a standing ovation. Then Fred continued.

“We feel Bud can be the guy to help us turn around the team. He loves and knows the game of baseball and is beloved by Mets fan. I felt that there was no doubt he was the right choice for the GM. Now I believe you have an announcement.

“Yes I do Fred. Playing in New York were the best days of my life. I played in 2 WS's here as a player and now want to lead them to more as a GM. In order to do this I will build around our pitching. With me I brought our new pitching coach. He is the perfect guy to teach our young pitchers and to guide us in the right direction. Ladies and gentlemen, walking in on the door to my right is our new pitching coach, an all time great, Sandy Koufax."

The crowd roared with excitement with this announcement. Then Fred talked again.

“I couldn't be happier with the 2 guys we hired. I feel they were no doubt the best men for the job. I feel we can and will make it back to the WS. Let's go Mets!!! We will not be taking questions at this time."

[ewing6]

Bud Harrelson sat in his office on his first full day as GM looking over his team among other things. The first thing he noticed that the team didn't have a clear cut leader. They had vets like rusty stab but not really a leader. He decided that that would be the first need we would try to fill. He started looking over his other team rosters when he heard a knock.

"Hello, who's there?"
"I'm Erik Smith. I'm Fred's assistant. I just wanted to ask if you needed anything."
"I'm fine Mr. Smith, can you just open the window over there."
"Of course sir."

Then after Erik opened the window a breeze blew into the room and blew a couple of papers off his desk. The paper left on top was the Whitesox's team. The first player on the list was Carlton Fisk.

"Anything else you need Bud?"
“No thank you Erik."

After Erik left, Bud looked at the Whitesox team some more and got an offer together and then he got on the phone and called the Whitesox GM.

"Hello, who is this?"

"This is Bud Harrelson, the new Mets GM."

"Hello bud how may I help you."

"Well, I have a trade offer for you."

"I'm listening."

“I’m offering Mookie, Stearns, and 300 k for Fisk and Rudy Law."

" That's a solid offer Bud as we are trying to get Fisk's 1 mil off the payroll, however I want a little more value out of this.

"I'll up the cash to 500k and give you OF Danny Heap."

"Give me a minute to look over Heap."

"OK."

A few minutes later the Whitesox Gm answered.

"Bud you have a deal!"

"Thank you sir it's been a pleasure.

"Thank you Bud and good luck."


The deal:

Mets trade: OF Danny Heap, OF Mookie Wilson, C John Stearns.

Whitesox trade:C Carlton Fisk, OF Rudy law

We get our leader and a leadoff hitter back. They shave 1 mil off the payroll get a leadoff guy a solid hitter and great defense catcher and a young OF.

You should've traded for Carlton Fisk instead.

Jim Palmer, Steve Finley Mets, as Bud makes 2nd deal

Bud Harrelson completed his 2nd deal as GM of the Mets. He continues to bring in Veteran leader ship as he gets 38 year old starter and future HOF Jim Palmer. He also got Steve Finley an 18 year old CF. Palmer will help teach the young pitchers, provide leadership and hopefully pitch some good games. Finley projects to be a 5 tool player in CF. He projects to be the CF of the future for the Mets. The Mets gave up 27 year old 3rd baseman Hubie Brooks, starter pitching Craig Swan and 2 prospects, Randy Milligan and Rick Aguilera. This helps the Mets now and for the future. It is a good deal for both sides as the O's get a 3rd baseman, a younger sp and 2 nice prospects.

Fred Wilpon called Bud and Davy into his office so he could see the lineup and rotation they put together. Fred started the talking.

"Hello guys. A new season is here and I know we will be much improved. Bud, I am very happy with the moves you have made and you have improved the team now and for the future. Now it's your time to turn our talent into success Davy."

"Thank you Fred. And thanks you bud for giving me the talent you have given me. I am really happy to have this job and I will do the best I can to make us winners. Now Bud can you show him the lineup."

"Yes I can. Here it is Fred; if you have any problems tell me."

It was a great series for us as we win all 3 to get our year off to an amazing start. Doc Gooden showed why the Mets consider him the future ace of the team. In first start in the big he pitched a CG allowed 1 run[ 0 earned] and k'd 6. The pitching was great the whole series as we had a 1.67 ERA. Carney Lansford hit 700 in the series. Keith Hernandez hit 419 with 1 homer[ Our only homer of the series.] and 6 RBIS. The only bad part was that Straw didn't get any hits but he hit some balls hard.

Hey, great start!

Also, I didn't read this before I started mine, so I hope you don't think I stole the Bud Harrelson thing from you.

We bounce back and win all 3. Straw had a homer and 2 RBIS in the last game. Hopefully he is beginning to bounce back from a horrible start. Sid, Ron, and Plamer pitched great. We are now 4 back of the Expos.

April In Review

26559

a 15-10 month leaves us 4.5 behind the Expos in 2nd place. Our team is hitting 295. Straw,Downing, and keith are off to bad starts. Other than them everyone is off to good offense starts. Landsford, Law, and Fisk have been on fire this month. Our pitching tailed off a bit toward the end of month and our ERA is now 3.72 though we had some nice games coming near the end of the month. Besides Orosoco our pen has been weak. Our bench has also been a weak spot. We gotta keep an eye on that.

League Leaders

[ewing6]

Davy, Bud, Sandy and Fred Wilpon meet today to discuss how the team did in April and to discuss things the team may need.

Fred started the meeting.
“Hello guys. We are off to a good start at 15-10. Our bats have been very good for the most part and our young sp's have been solid any concern in those areas."

Davy answered him.
"Our offense will be fine. Straw, Keith and Downing all off to bad starts but I feel that they can bounce back and our starting lineup will not be a concern. I'll let Sandy talk the pitchers."

Sandy said.
“First of all Palmer has been perfect as a guy mentoring the young guys and he has pitched well. I love how our young guys have been starting out. Darling has really surprised me and he has pitched the best."

Bud said.
“I agree with these points. Our bench is weak and I am trying to find a vet bat with pop for our bench. Our pen besides Jesse and Walt has been shaky. I think Julio can be solid and that lynch can bounce back and if I can get us 1 more arm it will be good. I have made a few calls but it is still early. I will try to fill those needs as soon as possible.

Fred responded
"Excellent men. Just 1 more question before I'll let you go. How is our farm going and is there any who can come up this year."

Bud answered this one.
Kevin Mitchell has been hitting very well in AAA and could be up some time this year. Finley has been rapping in AA. If he keeps it up we will get promoted to AAA but he won't be up till next year at least. Dave Magaden is also rapping at AA. We are going to take the same approach to him as we are Finley. Walt Weis is also doing well in AA but we won't promote him till later in the year. We got some young rp's doing well in the minors however we don't have many young sp prospects that will be looked at come draft day.

Fred said.
“Sounds good boys. Good luck. BTW all our jobs are safe for a while I am really liking what is going with the team. Good meeting guys."

Bud, Sandy, and Davy said at the same time.
"Thank you sir."

We take 2 of 3 behind great pitching by palmer and darling. Our pen seems to be improving but when your sp shine your pen should look good. We trail the Expos by 2.5 games. We play the braves for 4 next.

Good start this season. Whats up with Straw?

[ewing6]

Good start this season. Whats up with Straw?

I don't know. He's 0-42 off lefties. He's hitting 250 off rightiesI have no 1 good enough to platoon. I am going into that in my post. Gonna have to trade for a righty OF. I gave him the chance to start since he's the face of the team but o-42 yikes. And we are playing well. Expos don;t look as strong as they started out but they should be our main concern. Darling and the pitching has been solid. Other than Straw keith and dowing are off to slow starts we'll see though. Thanks for reading!!!

[ewing6]

Bud called Davy into his office for a quick conversation.

"What's going on Bud." Asked Davy.

"Are you aware of Straw's numbers vs lefties this season." Asked Bud.

"I don't know the exact numbers but I know they are bad." Said Davy.

"Bad would be an understatement Davy. He is 0-42. That is histroicaly bad." Said Bud.

"There is no 1 on our bench that would make a good platoon." Said Davy.

" I will try to make a deal to get a right handed OF as that would also help our weak bench. However if I can't get a deal done why don't we bring up Kevin Mitchell from AAA." Said Bud.

"Sounds like a plan Bud. Let me know." Said Davy

"Have a good Davy." Said Bud.

"You two sir." Said Davy.

[ewing6]

Bud makes HUGE trade, as Mets find their righty OF

Bud Harrelson made a huge deal today as he sent SP Walt Terrell who has been pitching as a RP due to the Mets going with a 4 man rotation and CF prospect Lenny Dykstra to the Braves for OF Dale Murphy and RP Terry Forster. The Braves are the worst team in baseball and Dale makes 2.15 mil for 5 more years [including this year.] It saves them quite a bit of money which we can afford. Terrell gives them a young sp and he steps in their rotation as the number 3. They get a good prospect in Lenny who was stuck behind Finley. We also get an rp to stick in our pen. Dale will play RF vs. lefties and vs. righties he will play LF. Downing will be on the bench vs. righties. The Mets released Chapman to make move for Murphy.

May 2nd,1984

Dale Murphy was getting ready to play his first game as a Met. He stood in left field. Ron Darling was getting ready to throw the first pitch to Milt Thompson. Milt saw and small airplane flying over Shea. It started to descend slowly toward the ground. He asked for time. All of a sudden the small plane was in view of everyone at Shea. Then the people in the upper deck saw the door open and a man ready to jump out. He was holding a sign that no one could see. He jumped out of the plane and his parachute went up. He landed between the mound and shortstop. His sign said, "Dale, thank you for everything you did. We'll miss you. From Atlanta. A tear ran down Dale's check. The man ran out to left field and gave Dale a hug and jumped over the fence. Dale remembered the man. He sat in the front row in the stands at the Braves game. Dale shocked it off and the game started. Dale couldn't get the guy and the sign out of his head.

[ewing6]

May 5th, 1984

In the bottom of the first of the 4th game of the Braves and Mets series. Dale Murphy was in the on-deck circle. He wanted this series to end so he can get the man who jumped on to the field in game one off his mind. He played it cool when talking with the media. He knew he would miss the braves and he would miss them. He was happy to be on the Mets and he felt welcome and he was ready to win he wanted to focus on that. He came up with 2 outs and a man on first. He blasted one into the left field stand. He was happy as he was jogging around the bases. He looked into the left field stands and saw the familiar face that he hadn't seen in 3 days holding a baseball and wearing a Braves cap and his face was mad because they were losing. Dale's face lit up and he finished his trip around the bases. Now he was ready to move on to the Met chapter of his career.

The Mets rellay wanted Greg Maddux but he went 1 to Seatle. They had to settle for schilling at 2. They got 2 catchers. One who is close to major league ready in Ogill and 1 very interesting one in Aomar in round 5. We got a nice OF in Willams in round 3 and a power hitting third baseman and a sp with upside in rounds 4 and 6.[ Round 6 pic in next post.]

Doc Gooden walked down into the clubhouse without talking to anyone after hitting the water cooler hard and throwing his glove. Davy started walking toward the stairs of the clubhouse. Sandy ran over and said,

"I got this one Davy"
"Are you sure?" Asked Davy
"Yeah, I know just how to handle this." Said Sandy with a grin on his face.
"Good luck Sandy. I left the whip in the draw in my office ;)" Davy said.

Sandy laughed and started down the stairs to the clubhouse. He quickly found Doc shaking his head and ready to punch the wall.

"Stop." Yelled Sandy.
"What's wrong Sandy?" Asked Doc.
"You could end your season doing something like that Kid. That wouldn't be very smart." Said Sandy
"You are right Sandy. I am just very disappointed in my game today. I let the team down and lost us the series." Said Doc.
"You are right Doc, You were horrible today. I am going to get the whip Davy keeps in his office." Said Sandy with a huge grin on his face.
Doc laughed and then said,
"Well I have very high expectations for myself and when I pitch like this it makes me wonder...”Said Doc.
"Look kid you are just 19. You have some of the best stuff I have ever seen and you have a chance to be one of the best in the game. You just have to keep a good head on your shoulders and not do anything dumb like punching a wall or taking drugs. You are still young. It took me 4-5 years to hit my grove and it went away in 5 years. The difference with you will be it will take you less time to get thing and you will maintain your grove way longer than me. When it's all said and done I feel you will be better and I will be here as your pitching coach to make sure. I will also help you in the off-season so you can be the best you can be." Said Sandy.
Doc ran up to Sandy and gave him a hug. Doc Gooden then walked out more mature than he ever imagined he could be.

We take 2 of 3 to get within 4.5 games but we are in 4th. If straw dosn't show his signs by the end of the month he could be sent to AAA.

Schilling to make Met Debut

After their win vs the Cubs to pull within a game and a half of the Expos and Cards and a half game of the cubs the Mets discovered that Jim Plamer will miss his next 2 starts due to a bruised spleen he got while diving for a ground ball. The Met's first round pick Curt Schilling will come up make the starts and go down to aaa. Curt was 2-1 with a 1.82 ERA. He said he is very excited to be making his first carrer start and hope that it is the start of big things. A well rested Met pen will be ready to back him if he dosn't pitch well.

Any suggestions to make this more exciting.

I was going to suggest you trade for Pujols again, but he's probably four years old at the time of this dynasty.

I think you have some date errors; the article about Schilling says April, but you're already in June. :confused:

We lose 2 of 3 to end a 16-10 month. However we are tied for first with the Expos. Straw has been hot still. He won't be sent down. Next time he sucks we gotta threaten him:D Month recap later tonight or tommrow.

June in Review

26981

A 16-10 month get us tied for first. We won some big games vs divison rivals. Straw heated up big time after getting threated for being sent to AAA. Landsford, Fisk, and Murphy are also swinging good bats. Sid is being our ace and leading the staff. Doc is starting to pitch better and ronny and jim are solid. We had a solid draft where we got curt schilling who pitched twice this month.

Team MVP
Carney Landsford: He has been a great pick up hitting 346 with 8 homers and 57 RBIS and 3 errors in 79 games at 3rd.

Cy Young
Sid Fernandez: He leads in wins with 13. He only has four losts. He leads us a 3.17 ERA and 150.2 innings and 128 K's/

Minor League MVP
Kevin Mitchell: He is rapping at aaa. He is hitting 316 with 16 homers and 63 RBIS. He should get a late year call up.

Minor League CY Young
Roger McDowell- He has a 2.01 ERA and is 19 for 20 saves in aa. We have no sp depth in the minors we need to work on that.

We win 2 of 3 to get into a 2 way tie with the Cards. The expos are .5 behind, the cubs 2 and the pirates 3. It's a wide open race. Straw and Keith contiue to rap. Fisk was great. He hit for the cycle in game 2.[It was a back-worths cycle. Homer, triple, double, and then single.] Doc pitched great. We got walk-offs from Law and Downing.

Brian Downing is the ultimate utility guy!

[ewing6]

Brian Downing is the ultimate utility guy!

Yeah he is. I picked him up preseason because he could catch and play LF and first and provide pop. He got off to a bad start as the LF and once Murphy came in he was a platoon with Straw and I play him whenever I need him. I played him at 2nd 1 or twice but he's rated 48 there but I wanted his bat:D Thanks for reading.

July 20,1984
Jesse was driving back to the hotel last night when he saw a old lady who tripped. He pulled over and ran out of his car to help her. She thanked him and went on her way. What he didn't notice was a man with blazing red hair slip a note into his bag. Jesse drove back to the hotel and went to sleep.

Next Morning.[July 20 for those who can't keep track.]
Jesse went into his bag to grap his lucky cap and glove before leaving for the ballpark. He noticed a note in his bag that said, " Don't throw another pitch in the majors or you will be harmed very badly." He decided not to tell anyone tell he figured out what he would do. Jesse went to the ball park and told Bud and Davy he couldn't pitch today, but it was nothing serious and he should be fine. That meant he had 1 day to decide what to do....

[Red Sox Fan 734]

The next morning would be the 21st lol. Good stuff

[ewing6]

The next morning would be the 21st lol. Good stuff

No the first night I said Last night that was the 19th then the tommrow was the 20. Thanks for readings. Update to Jesse's story will be up later today.

[ewing6]

July 20,1984

The Mets were up 2-1 top if the 8th with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs. With no Jesse Davy had to hope for some luck. Davy went out to the mound and rasied his hand to signal for Machado. Then Jesse's baseball instants kicked in. He jumped out of his seat and ran past Juilo and patted him. Juilo took a seat respectfully. Jesse needed 6 outs with the tying and go-ahead runs on 2nd and 3rd with a death threat at his helm without any warmup pitchs. Jesse got ready to throw and he heard a slight scream from a kid. He looked up to see a HUGE rock heading right for his head. He dove off the mound to avoid the rock. The Police rushed to the field and to the upper deck since the throw came from a plane. By the time they got up there the plane was gone. They asked if anyone saw anything and this cute little 5 year old kid answered," A man with red hair threw a big rock out of the big thingy in the sky." No one else knew or saw anything. After the game resumed Jesse walked his first man and then got a 3-2-3 DP and went on to get the 6 out save. After the same Jesse revealed the threat he recieved and said it wouldn't affect him pitching and that he and the police will look into it and that he wouldn't take any more questions on the subject.

Later:
The police found no fingerprints on the rock or they couldn't find any bright red pilots in New York airports. Bud asked Jesse if he could pitch through this. Jesse said he would hire police to watch him and his family. He told Bud to warn the rest of the team because he felt like he wouldn't be the only one affected. A red-headed man with a black wig stood out side the room. He was acting as a servant for bud. He said hello to Jesse on his way out and as Jesse walked away a evil grined cross his face.....

We take 2 of 3 and have a 1 game lead over the Expos who we play for 3 next. Doc and Sid both pitched well. Jesse got a 6 out and a 5 out save back to back days after the threat. The Twins have been offering 1st baseman Kent Hrbek to the Mets. The Mets have said no due to Keith. The Mets are looking for trades but don't expect any major moves.

We take 2 of 3. We could have swept but jesse blew game 2. He also blew game 1 but landsford hit a walkoff bomb. Landsford is hitting .349 with 10 homers 74 RBIS, 20 Doubles, and 11 triples. Sid pitched a CG 3 hitter in the deciding game 3. He improved to 16-6 with a 2.89 ERA. He leads the league in wins and is 8th in ERA and 4th in strikeouts. We play the Astros for 3 next.

July is Over!!

27333

It was an up and down month for us as we went 14-13. We were in first for a lot of the month. We held it untill the end of the month where we lost 2 series and dropped to 3rd and 1.5 out. Big Sid is having a CY young type year dispite being injuried. Plamer has been ok. Darling is slowing down. Doc has been good for the most part Landsford is having a great all-around year. Murphy has 20 homers and Law has 41 steals. Keith has been great since a poor start. Downing, Straw, and back have been a bit iffy but mostly solid. The Mets made a roster move calling up Kevin Mitchell from AAA and sending down Herm Washington.Mitchell was hitting 308 with 23 homers and 88 RBIS in AAA. He has a big bat and can play most postions decently.

Mets MVP: Landsford, He is hitting 340 with 10 homers 78 RBIS 21 doubles 11 triples and good defense at 3rd.

CY Young: Big Sid 16-6 [ most wins in MLB and 3rd highest winning %] with a 2.89 ERA[ 7th in Majors] and is 3rd with 157 K's

We take 2 of 3 from the Dodgers to get back within 1 game of the Cubs. We play the Cards next for 3. Mitchell played all 3 games at ss and went 4 for 9. Expect him to see a lot of SS if not everyday over Bowa. He will def played vs Lefties. Doc and Tapano pitched great!

August 5, 1984

The Mets have off today and Davy was sitting peacefully in his office, relaxing and getting to leave in a little while. Suddenly Larry Bowa walked into the office looking mad.
He said," Why is this Mitchell Kid taking my playing time away when he has barley played SS."
Davy Said," You are getting up there in age Larry. Kevin's bat is huge and we have to get it in and that iss the only spot we could. You are hitting 238. He will get all the time vs Lefties and you will share time vs righties. Play well Larry and you will get more ABS. See you tommrow Larry."

Davy walked out and headed home thinking that he made his point well. Larry still mad headed on home.

We take 2 of 3 and are in 2nd 1 behind the Cubs. We are 1.5 games ahead of the Expos and 2.5 ahead of the Cards. This is still wide open. The Pirates have started to play well and they are tied with the Cards at 3.5 out. It's anyones game. Bowa played well when he started in this series. Landsford keeps on hitting and the Mets are going to look to lock him up.

We win 2 of 3 and are now tied with the Cubs. We got a huge walkoff win in game 2. Our hiting is hot lead by keith, murphy downing, etc. We play the Cards for 3 next. Darling is hurt and out for 3 days his start will get pushed back 1 day. Him and Sid are due back on the same day.

We lose all 3 and fall to 4th place and 1 game behind the redhot Pirates who are 11-2 this month. The Expos and Cubs are both .5 behind them and we are 1 and the Crads are 1.5 back. This Race is epic and we get Sid back tommrow and our bats have been sucking. We play the bad Phills next. Plamer is out for 13 days so Sid will take his spot and kevin will stay up.

August 21

The Mets and Pirates were tied in their series 1-1 and on the season on top of the NL East. Kevin Tapani was getting ready to pitch the next day. He and other rookies Kevin Mitchell and Juilo Machado just got back to the hotel and went to sleep. They woke up the next day and all their stuff was gone. They called the Police. They found nothing, but a redhair in the room. There was no doubt it was the same person who caused the problems earlier this year. The question was who was he and why was he doing this to the Mets. They have to get to the bottom of it. All 3 said they would play in the big game and the police would get on the case even harder.

We lose 2 of 3 and fall to 4th place 1 game behind the Pirates and a half game behind the Expos and Cubs. Cards are 3.5 out. This race is epic. The offense is doing much less than I expected and Doc and Sid have been amazing lately.

We win 2 of 3 to get to 2nd place and a half game behind the Cubs, a half game ahead of the Expos, 1 game ahead of the Pirates and 1 and a half ahead of the Cards. We play the padres for 3 next. Plamer will come back and take Tapani's spot. If jim is bad Kevin might get the spot back. Kevin goes to aaa for 3 days and will come back for September Call-ups. Doc Gooden hit my first homer in PBP by a pitcher!!!!!!!!

1984 August Recap [ Note Padres series will be posted after the 4th game on september 1st]

27579

We went 14-13 and we are in a epic race in the NL East. We are in 3rd and a halfgame out. 5 teams arew within 2 games in the East going into September. We lost some games we should have won this month just like in July when we went 14-13 as well. We have done enough to stay in the race but we have gotta get it going.[ Talking to you offense.] Sid is having a cy young year in his rookie year and Doc is having a huge 2nd half after slowing down after a strong start. Darling has been ok and is out for 14 days. Kevin Tapani who has a 2,52 ERA in 9 starts as a injury replacemetn guy will once again get a spot. Landsford like much of the offense had a quiet month. His AVG is down to 324. Straw has done alright. His avg is 197 he did get it over 200 at one point this month. He has been disappointing. Downing has hit, Mitchell has been good since his call up, but our offense must step it up.

Mets MVP:
Carney Landsford- Dispite slowing down in August he is still having a great year.

Mets CY Young:
Big Sid- He is 18-7 with a 2.90 ERA as a rookie. He 12 CGS!! He has a chance to be the NL CY Young if he has a strong September.

Mets ROY:
Big Sid- See CY Young!

Minor League Hitter of the Year:
Since Kevin Mitchell is in the majors and if he wasn't he would run away with this, but he is in MLB so Steve Finley gets the nod. He hit 298 with 16 homers 28 doubles 10 triples and 89 RBIS, and great defense in CF. He is our CF of the future. He is a September call-up and should get some chances.

Minor League Pitcher of the Year
Randy Myers: In AAA in 86.2 innings he has a 2.39 ERA and 26 saves in 29 trys. He is a September call-up and could make the pen next year.

We sweep them!!! Injuries are hurting us but we will get to that later. We win all 4 and are in first a half game ahead of Pit. Straw and Keith and backman are all hitting. Some of our Callups are doing good in limited ABS and are getting hits. Murphy is hurt and is out for 10 more days after missing 3 games, Fisk is hurt for 4 more games after missing 5. Landsford is out for 1 more after missing 2. After he got the save in game 4 Jesse got a wrist fracture is out for 34 days which means he is out for all of the season and most of the playoffs. He might be able to play in a WS. It will go day from day for the closer. Randy Myers the callup who is pitching well will get an increased roll. Darling is back. With Tapani pitching great Ron takes plamer's spot and Jim will move to the pen but if ron does bad he could get back into the rotation Kevin is pitching too good to lose his spot.

We lose 2 of 3 and fall to third and 3.5 games out. WE need to step up big time to come back. Straw has been hitting great this month and finley played well with law's injury. In 4 days Murphy will be back and law and wally will be back before then. We play the dodgers for 4 next.

Curt had been great late in games,[ he will start next year either in MLB or AAA.] He came in and threw a wild pitch with the bases loaded.

September/Season Review

27816

We were close going into September but we got killed by injuries in the middle of the month and 15-13 wasn't enough. We are very happy with the 88 wins and being close. Wilpon said," We took huge steps this year and I am very pleased. We will be big time players in FA and have quite a bit of money to spend and we will make whatever trades and signings need to get to the playoffs and beyond next year."

Team MVP: Dale Murphy: He came over in May and was our main power thread with 29 homers. He also won a gold glove. Landsford had a great year but we gave Dale the edge.

Team CY YOUNG: BIG SID: Most of our starters were rookies this year. Doc got 18 wins and Sid 20. They will be a great 1-2 punch for a long time with schilling and maybe Ronny mixed in. Sid gets our ROY and CY young with a 20-10 record and a 3.18 ERA.

Yes I do. I went at a good pace though as the season took 3 months and 5 days.

Mets Sign a Catcher, Cut a Catcher

Mets made their first move of the offseason today signing catcher Ernie Whitt to a 1 year 570 k he will be the backup catcher and he gives the Mets a much need lefty bat off the bench. With the move they relased catcher ron hodges. Ernie hit .269 with 15 homers and 70 rbis with the Jays in 123 games last year. The met's needs for the rest of the offseason are 1 or 2 more bench guys, a 3rd baseman, and maybe a rp.

[ewing6]

Mets sign George Brett

With the Mets needing a 3rd baseman they go out and get the best one possible. They sign George Brett to a 4 year deal worth 2 mil per year. Brett hit 330 with 20 homers and 113 RBIS. That means no more Landsford. Brett said he is happy to be on the big stage in New York and he hopes he can put the Mets over the top. After this move the Mets are reportly just going to fill out the bench and call it a offseasosn.

[ewing6]

Mets make one last move

The Mets felt they need one more player to round out their bench and today they traded OF Herm Washington, OF John Christensen, and Catcher Ed Hearn to the Royals for IF/OF Jorge Orta. He can play OF and IF pretty well and adds a lefty stick. The Mets felt their bench was a problem last year amd they went out and addressed this offseason. I like it!!!

[ewing6]

October/November offseason news[ besides the met's moves.]

37 year old first baseman Darrell Evans signs a two year deal with Seatle.

Another 37 year old first baseman Cliff Johnson signs with Philly for 2 years.

Closer jeff reardon signs with the Yanks for 3 years and the Yanks also get rp Andy McGaffigan for 2 years.

Yanks made a big move by signing jesse barfield for a 3 year deal at 1,750 mil per adding a huge bat to their WS team.

Mike Timlin a 18 year old signs with Texas.

X- met Terry Leach signs with the Cubs.

Seatle signed RF Sixto Lezcano for 4 years.

The Reds signed x-met Carney Landsford for 4 years at 1,050,000 per year.

Cards get Kent Hrbek and Gary Gaetti from the twins. The twins got 9 players including Ozzie Smith and Andy Van Slyke.

[metsguy234]

I think you got lied to. Geroge Brett is no star, his brother George is really good though.

March 1st

Davy Johnson walked into his office ready to begin a new season with his Mets. He walked over to his desk and saw a note saying, " I wouldn't let your team report to spring training or there will be some killer events at our camp."

signed
The Red Headed Wonder.

Davy sighed... This was going to be enough long year, hopefully there would be no problems, but Davy highly doubted that.

[ewing6]

Davy was still thinking about the past events and about this red-headed man wondering how much of a threat he was. Then all his players gathered in for a meeting after the first week of practice of the year. Davy talked about fundametals, how the new guys will fit in, and how this was the Mets' year to get back to the playoffs and go deep into them. The players were excitied and pumped up for a new year. Brett enjoyed being with his new team. He became good friends with Orosco and they decided that they would share hotel rooms during the year. Davy finished by telling the players if for any reason if they received any threats or any traces of this red headed guy that they should report to him. He also said that it wouldn't be a issue and that it was just a precaution, but Davy knew that what he said was not true and so did the players.

[ewing6]

Ladies and Gentlemen your 1985 New York Mets

ratings are +/- 4

After a succesful spring training without any more problems this is the team Davy came up. He opened up the paper and read the projection for the team to finish 500 and he laughed. He thought his team could be something special as long if this "red head" didn't mess anything up.

Standouts; Big Sid was great. Law, Straw and keith are hitting and brett and murphy are coming around.

Davy's comments: We have won 8 in a row. The postion guys are doing very well, the bench is playing great. The starters are doing good. Everyone is helping. Unexpected heros have stepped up. Let's ride this into a big streak to start the year.

Standouts: Oquendo started all 3 games and played great and got another walkoff. It will be interesting to see his time with backman back. Plamer made a spot start and pitched great. Murphy, fisk, and brett are hitting. Tapani is pitching great. We also traded bowa and 300 k for of jeffrey Leonard. We needed another righty off the bench and oquendo made bowa expendable.

April in Review
28293

We played well this month going 18-8. No one relay wowed anyone it was an all-around team effort and we want to keep this up so when our stars get hot we can relay click. We are pitching and hitting just well enough to win and hope to keep winning games while getting guys hot in the process. Fisk, Murphy, Brett and surprise Jose Oquendo hit the best. Tapani lead the staff. Let’s keep playing well.



Team CY YOUNG: Kevin Tapani keeps up his great pitching from last year going 4-2 with a 2.92 ERA.

Team MVP: no one has stoof out enough to draw the award. Tie between brett and murphy.

Davy comments: We bounce back to win the last 2 after losing 4 in a row the offense exploded out of no where. We stay 1 game up. Keith is out for 4 more days after missing game 3 and we lost big sid again for 24 days. It hurts but we will have to live. Schilling has been bad in aaa so plamer will get the rotation spot and roger mcdowell will join the pen.

Standouts: Leonard hit well and murphy and brett are heating up!!! Tapani pitched well.

[ewing6]

been a bit busy with hollidays my league, etc not sure when this will keep going or if it will

[ewing6]

I have decided to shut this down. The layoff, etc have made me lose interest. I will hold on to the mog in case i change my mind but this is done for now.

I woke up in a blur, with lines of cocaine in front of me.

This whole thing had been a dream.

Who am I? I looked at my driver's license.

I am David Nied. I will be a superstar someday.
