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.

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.

"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?"

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 be successful more than me, but admittedly, I enjoy watching failure happen when a person thinks he is 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.
