The End Of The Dark Knight

Finally.  I can’t stand this guy.

If you know anything about BYB, you know that being an ego maniac gets you nowhere and we see that garbage immediately and cut right through that. Matt Harvey falls into that category and now, it’s all coming back to haunt him, and I am hoping once reality sets in, he will either just be quiet, or eat some humble pie and become a regular person.  Hard lesson to learn, but I have a hunch he will eventually learn it, or maybe not because tools don’t always learn when they fall from grace… or fake-grace… whatever this is that Harvey is in right now.

Metro writes a great piece about the latest Harvey saga.  Check out this gem…

“The New York Mets being able to trot out their five stud starters of Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom, Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler and Steven Matz isn’t going to last for long.

Some of that is because veteran southpaw Jason Vargas, who was signed during the winter provide some much-needed rotational depth, will be returning from an injury to his non-pitching hand in the coming days.

But most of that is because Matt Harvey simply is not an MLB-caliber starting pitcher anymore and we all saw it again on Thursday night.”

The Mets lost to the Braves, and suddenly there has been a change in the Mets playing style.  They are starting to lose. There is a lot of speculation that Vargas will replace Harvey in the rotation. And I’d love to see that happen. Hell, I think Mets fans would… he’s just not good.

Now I’m not a Mets hater, but I am not a fan of Harvey. And hey, Harvey is a Met, so people think I’m anti-Met. I’m not. I just want Harvey to have a reality check.  He’s not the same pitcher he once was according to many, but to be honest, I think he was never that pitcher… I think he was just once lucky.

As I wrote in IF JUDGE STAYS HUMBLE… HE’LL BE FINE,

“Harvey… knew he was good, pretty much told everybody he was great, bought into the hype and reeked of arrogance as he said it, and tried to bang strippers using the ol’ “I’m the Dark Knight, wanna see my penis?”

So once Harvey started to realize he wasn’t very good, and started having problems, the media pounced, because like I have written earlier, while celebs and athletes can be cool, there is always someone to remind them they are not, because they do digging through scandal, or blow up stories to try and knock them down.”

Harvey was knocked down, but much of it was because of his own self-consumed arrogance.  When reality set in, he was no longer Nolan Ryan, he was more like Mark Fidrych (God, rest his soul)

A fun character, but that’s about it.

No one likes to see a person fail more than me, but I want it to happen when a person thinks they are untouchable. Matty is that.

Here’s some humble pie, Mr. Harvey….

Eat it.

And good luck to the Mets, they’d be better off without him.
