Matt39 42,496 #36 Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) Phil Hughes, steroid washout. So there. Hughes just sucked period. Mental midget California kid that had average stuff from the get go. He was never the same after the freakin hammy injury while he was pitching the no-no. Edited April 15, 2011 by Matt39 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was never the same after the freakin hammy injury while he was pitching the no-no. There have been a lot of dudes in MLB over the last two seasons that mysteriously lost 5 MPH on their heater or who went from having upper deck power to barely having warning track power. I'm goofing around about Hughes, but, damn, he looks like one of those guys. Hell, David Wright looks like one of those guys.

He doesnt have the stuff because he sucks. Hughes was never a power guy anyways. He busted his hammy and he lost velocity. His season last year was wildly overrated to begin with. Pre hammy he was 94. Lasy year he was around 92. This year he's batting practice. Edited April 15, 2011 by Matt39 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huge difference. Nice that we have you to tell us that a guy who won 18 games last year with good peripherals "sucks" because he's hurt or going through a dead arm period.

He wasnt great last season. Hughes was never at 96 last year. Pre hammy he had a pretty electric fastball...but he's been downhill since that moment.

Meanwhile, former 1st rounder and UNCW alum Brad Holt continues to toil at AA Binghamton because the Mets' HS-level minor league coaches can't figure out how not to ruin a 23-year old with a 94-95 MPH fastball, a plus slider and a decent changeup.

It doesn't help that he got hurt last year, and 3 different Mets doctors told him 3 different diagnoses. Not to mention, when his mechanics were off, guess who he went to to get a tune-up? UNCW pitching coach Jason Howell. The entire Mets organization sucks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T0mShane 137,452 #62 Posted April 17, 2011 If the mets lose tomorrow Mike Francesa is gonna be priceless on Monday morning. He already torched them on Friday, I believe. He didn't get himself up to a Level Ten meltdown, but he got up to a solid 6 or 7. Great stuff, really. I can't wait for his Terry Collins welcome-to-NY interview this week where Francesa belittles him and tries to make him cry. If Collins is smart, he should call Joe Torre for tips on getting through a WFAN shred-fest. I never understand why coaches agree to do those things in the first place. As for the Mets, I hope they lose 120 games this year and a federal mediator forces the Wilpons to dissolve their empire, and whatever nitwit ends up investing $300 mil into this franchise ends up getting back 20 cents on the dollar. My hope is that they trade Reyes and Johan Santana to the Red Sox for prospects, so Mets fans can at least give the big FU to the Yankees on our way down the drain. Santana deserves better than to be stuck with these losers. Also, f*ck David Wright. I've watched pitchers have mentally tougher at-bats in late-game situations than Wright throws up. There's alot of Danny Tartabull in David Wright. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I'd be welcomed with open arms. I went to a Mets-Cubs 3-game series two years ago at Wrigley and pissed off every Cubs fan in my section by chanting "Joseeeee, Jose, Jose, Jose!" along with the rest of the idiot Mets fans when Reyes came to the plate. The Mets took 2 out of 3 and Tom Glavine won his 300th game that weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
