The New York Mets Thread

[TheJobaRules]

When teams make their adjustments to the four seamer,he'll go back to getting hammered again.

I don't know about that, he's got a sinker that reminds me of Wang. His performance yesterday was very similar to Wang when he is on. A ton of groundouts and double-plays. Just like Wang, when he mixes it up with a good slider, and an occasional change, he is going to be pretty tough to hit. The Mets as a whole are pitching over their heads right now, but the two guys who I think will carry that rotation for the rest of the year will be Johan and Pelfrey.

They don't have the Phillies offense, but good pitching always beats good hitting, and the Mets are going to win the NL East.

Mike Pelfrey named NL Player of the Week. After all he's been through, good to see him finally get some recognition.

Hahahahahahahahaha Wagner gets the blown save.

When you simply must choke away a crucial win, accept no substitute.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

El Duque left his rehab game after only 1 inning because of discomfort in his right foot.

[Jersey Yankee]

As much as I hate to say it, they are 4-2 against us this year.

One time, we got skunked by the Royals 4-zip at Kaufman. They were still the Royals, and the NL Least is still a weak league compared to the AL East. Of course, nothing is weaker than the NL West.

[CanoForPresident]

Pelfrey is giving Joba a run for his money in the best young pitcher in NY category.

Pelfrey has now gotten knocked around by the last 3 decent hitting teams he has seen (Reds, Yankees, Angels.)

He aint giving Joba a run for anything. He's capitalized on facing some wack ass teams the last few times out. Decent teams will still slap him around.

[Jersey Yankee]

Just when you thought we had something to complain about, up by 3 in the 9th, Sanchez leaves w/bases loaded, no outs. 2 RBI groundouts and 2 RBI doubles later, the 5-2 save becomes an 8-5 save situation the other way. Who else can mess up the must-win games like this?

[The Q Bomb]

What do you expect from a team that doesn't even dress in sinc?! I saw a recap of the game on Baseball Tonight and noticed that the players all have different t-shirts on under their uniforms. They look so tacky. P.S. I noticed that David Wright and I think Wagner didn't even take their hats off when introduced during The All Star Game. I know this is picayune stuff - but I love picking on The Mets - for anything!

I don't really like the Phillies, but I'm

enjoying the way that the Mets lost tonight. I

do feel bad for my Mets fan grandmother though.

Oh well, such is life, I suppose.

I don't mind the Mets

to be honest.

It might stem from

not living in New York

but I've never felt any

hatred towards them.

I dislike the Marlins (because of 03),

Braves and

Phillies much more than the Mets.

What about Arizona?

I don't really hate them,

but I still could never root for them

unless they were playing Boston.

In my previous post

I was really only talking about NL

East ball-clubs.

[hellonewman]

The Phils are my National League fave so I'm lovin' this. My only regret is that Joe Benigno is on vacation ... but the FAN is still great radio after the Mets blow one like this.

[Jersey Yankee]

Hey, they keep complaining that when we lose and they win, we get the back pages. Well ...

I'm still waiting for Delgado's "There's so much talent on this team it's scary speech".

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

I just saw on the BBTN bottom line that Wilpon admitted that the Mets f***** up the Randolph firing.

[iamdoingthat]

I just saw on the BBTN bottom line that Wilpon admitted that the Mets f***** up the Randolph firing.

Yeah, wasn't Omar all riled up insisting that the firing was his decision and wasn't forced by the Wilpons?

While nobody believed Omar at the time, isn't it a bit odd (and stupid?) that Wilpon is now apologizing for the decision?

Or did I miss something in between?

[YanksFanTillDeath]

Well looks like Pedro wont pitch for another week.. His father passed away...

Great game by Santana against the Cardinals. I'm not sure why so many fans left just because of a little rain instead of staying to see Santana finish the CG.

Im not so sure why they even let him get the CG.

I know they used up a bunch of people in the pen last night but there were 2 or 3 guys in there who didnt throw a pitch who could have recorded 3 outs before giving up 8 runs.

Hes thrown a ton of innings/pitches the last few years.

They used every single arm in the pen last night. If it went to the 15th, Oliver Perez was coming in. Theoretically they probably could have gotten a few outs out of Shoenweis or Feliciano, but having Johan go 9 took the sting out of his games against the Phillies and leaving so the pen could blow it.
