LETS GO METS GO

Check out this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0404N0i7feA&feature=related of Citi Field

Best quote ever...

"I told (Kris) -- because that's the biggest thing in athletics, they cheat all the time -- I told him, cheat on me all you want. If you get caught, I'm going to screw everybody on your entire team -- coaches, trainers, players. I would do everybody on his whole team."

Hahaha...

Nah, Turk's more my style.

Don't make me pull out Bobby Bo!!!

You East Coast kniggs are funny...

I was at this game in Fenway. Awesome game.

Rivera gave up a walk off to Millar I believe. Good times.

Edit - Bill Mueller hit the walk off.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA....BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

You kiddin? I've got a chubby already!

You mean like this?

HAHAHAHA, is that you Alan!?

Fuck no!!!!!!

That guy aint jacked and tan like me

Did you watch last night? It was beyond painful. They're fuckin killin me.

...what about http://www.nyfuturestars.com/players.php?player=dan_hernandez

Hopefully we can push a few runs across and get a W while you're there.

Pelfrey, for all his faults, never gets any run support.

Fuckin roller coaster ride with that guy, I can't take it anymore.

Pedro tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had to go back to NJ for a wedding. Was REALLY pissed about missing the games (woulda bought tix for all 4) but in retrospect....I'm glad I wasn't there for that debacle.

We are horrible. WTF???

Kinda like the bomb Reynolds dropped in Wagner?

Kinda like that one...except Beltran's bomb won the game.

Shitty timing for us Mets fans though. Right when we needed to turn a corner and get our shit together...more implosion. Actually...I don't even know. I'm not sure it's the D-Backs "coming out of a slump" so much as it's Willie pulling hot pitchers and Wagner flat-out tanking.

Either way, depressing times for us fans of the Amazins.

Whatever Bobby V would or wouldn't be doing is purely speculation. I like him because he's got tons of energy, passion, etc...which is pretty much what this team is lacking. Plus, he's a flat out solid coach, a winner. Just won his 1500th game actually.

Anyhoo, I'm pissed at Willie (this week) because he pulled Pelfrey, who was cruising through 8 shutout innings...and the 'pen ruined it. So what does he do today? Pulls Johan freaking Santana after 7 dominant innings....and the 'pen ruined it. Isn't that the definition of insanity? Doing the same things over and over, yet expecting a different result.

I know they had 114 and 116 pitches respectively...but I think people are pussies with that pitch count shit. These aren't 48 year old Jaime Moyers we're talking about. It's a young kid and a dominator in his prime. If they're hot (which both were) let em nail it down and finish what they started. It's not like either of them were in trouble or falling apart at all.

idk...just my frustrated 2 cents.

Don't get Yanks fans confused with Met fans. Hard to describe and it sounds kinda silly...but we're two entirely different breeds. At the end of the day, winning is all that matters. If we were rattling off victories, no one would give a fuck how stoic Willie was.

That's so funny, cuz I was thinking the same thing. As much as I've railed against him and called for his ouster...I'll definitely miss him. We've had some good years under Willie. I hope the next guy (Manuel for now, after that who knows) can help get the Mets back on top.

Jungle Karma lives!!!!!!!!!!!

Wright came on Jim Rome for the last segment today!!!!!!!!!!

You can never deny the "Jungle Karma"

Werd..........I wish Pitt. would pick him back up

Bonds
Bonilla
VanSlyke

Used to be sooo bomb

Best outfield I can remember and Francisco Cabrera fucked us

Werd!!!!!!!

It's all JW's fault last night.



Why pull out Santana? Only 105 pitches if you want to get into that stupid shit.

And the Mets are 1 of 5 teams not to have a CG yet this year.

Bad move Manuel. Especially with Wagner out.

Agreed. 10 game win streak aside, our starters and Wagner have been solid. Everyone in between? Not so much. Johan isn't exactly Jaime Moyer. Dude can throw 120+ pitches and be fine for his next start. Effing ridiculous.

Its the bullpens job to close out a game with a 4 run lead. No need to beat up on an ACE with that big of a lead. 1 run yes, but 4 run? He made the right move. The bullpen didnt.

Unfortunatly 100 pitches is a max. I hate seeing a great performance ruined or stopped because of a pitch count. You have to play to win each game. If santana blows the next game oh well. Case n point why you cannot let an unreliable bullpen lose what could be a easier victory

Yeah 100 as been the line for years...Anymore and its getting up there..The only time its normal is when pitchers like dicek, whos used to throwing tons, and wake, who doesnt throw hard. Other than that, the bullpen needs to take over and get their starter, and their team, the win.

The NL/AL east is very competitive. Every game becomes must win right after the all-star break. When its a division battle you play it like the NLCS.

Fuckin A right! This Fernando Martinez guy better be as good as he's been made out to be. We could've made a run at Holliday or Fuentes, but Omar won't budge on any deal that involves F-Mart.

Other than giving up the two solo dingers in the 1st, Pedro is looking decent today. Now we just gotta get him some damn run support!

Dude, you're totally right...and I would have NEVER even considered that possibility going into this year. If they all continue to perform, Delgado, Wright and Reyes should all be in that conversation.

Co Cubbies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahahahahaahahahahahahah....that is awesome!!!!!

you photoshop that or find it on some mets blog somewhere?

Getting moved down to the minors would be the opposite of an MVP.

Yeah.....

I think Endy led the NL in outfield assists in '06 or '07, despite not even starting.

Looks like Beltran's knee is fine from colliding with that umpire at home the other day.

How about Reyes letting Beltran's throw go 5-hole in order to gun Hardy at home??? Sick!

On fire again!!!

That last one was an absolute bomb.

Oh, well in that case, if my aunt had a package she'd be my uncle.

I guess it's all on Ayala now...lets see what he can do with it.

HUGE win last night!

Nice! One of the b-day presents my wife just got for me was this really old photo of Shea, framed. Figures...right when I leave NYC, the G-Men win the Superbowl and Shea has it's last games.

Dock Ellis pitched a no no on LSD in 1970





"I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the (catcher's) glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times. The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me"

"Attempting to hit every batter in the Cincinnati Reds lineup on May 1, 1974. In an effort to prove a point to teammates, Ellis hit Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, and Dan Driessen in the top of the first. The clean-up batter Tony Perez avoided Ellis' attempts, instead drawing a walk, and after two pitches aimed at the head of Johnny Bench, Ellis was removed from the game by manager Danny Murtaugh. Ellis' box score for the game reads: 0 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K."

Dude was a beauty

I've got the Extra Innings package, so I flipped back and forth between our game and the Brewers game. I was all nerved up, so I drank all day. Wound up falling asleep at like 8pm.

I miss Shea already.

BUMP!!! Hahahahaha

Seriously...it's not easy being a Met fan. TONS of ups and downs, but true fans stick with their teams no matter what. I saw a fan at Shea with a sign that said "THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES AND THE ULCERS"...I think that summed it up best.

So...who's available to pick up? We obviously need pitching, and everyone thinks Sabathia is going to the Yanks. Is Pedro under contract for next year? We should make a play for K-Rod and/or Fuentes. Other than that, a corner OF'er and 2B and we're set up nicely. But really....1 solid starting arm and a couple decent arms outta the pen is what we NEED. Omar's got his work cut out for him.

Word...I think Fuentes and K-rod are in the last year of their deals. How sick would a Fuentes 8th and a K-Rod 9th be? Don't know if we've got the unlimited fund$ to do it...but damn, that'd be awesome.

Yeah...Alou should (if he hasn't already) retire. I'm fine with Church in RF...just need a LF'er.

Buddy of mine said the Mets have $45mil coming off the books in the form of Alou, Pedro and El Duque's contracts....that should free us up to make a move or two.

Obviously, the bullpen is top priority. A Fuentes 8th and K-Rod 9th would be sick, but in reality, we'll have to choose 1 of the 2. K-Rod's asking price will be very high, following his record-setting year. Omar might try to make a big splash by signing him anyway.

LF - Would be extremely hard to sign Manny, if we're going to pay for bullpen help as well. My guess is the Yankees will wind up overpaying for him. Manny IS a Scott Boras client after all.

We could take a flier on Raul Ibanez perhaps. He's hit 20+HR and had 100+RBI for 3 years straight. If we could sign him to a 1-2 year deal, that would be OK.

RF - I'm fine with Church staying there. Solid bat, solid glove.

2B - This x-mas list is getting long. Hopefully Argenis Reyes will step up. I've also heard rumors that Daniel Murphy might get a shot there.

SP - Would love to get another solid arm in the rotation, but again...I'm guessing the Yanks will pay an astronomical sum for Sabathia. I heard his starting offer was $200mil. Hard to pay him AND Johan and whoever else we sign for the bullpen/LF.

Yeah, eating those innings will be great for us, as long as the offense can carry him to PutzRod time.

Giving his broken down knees a 4 year contract was a bad move on Minaya's part. I hope he lost some weight, hit the swiss ball hard in the off season and is ready to produce this year.

Wait...the 'stache is back?

nevermind... http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090327&content_id=4078056&vkey=news_nym&fext=.jsp&c_id=nym

Agreed.

His head is big enough. He should lay off the HGH.
