Ha funny thing is... I'm pretty sure I'm going to a Mets game Saturday night

7/28/2009 11:36:33 AM

Make it four in a row with Santana on the bump tomorrow.

Five out with Reyes, Delgado, Putz, Wagner AND Beltran all looking likely to be back for the last 5 weeks. If we can somehow get it back down to 3-4 by Sept 1 it will be on...

No one in the wildcard race is better than a FULL Mets team. I'm confident on that. It's all about keeping us close and with the awesome play of Pagan and Frenchy (and Castillo's resurgence) I'm thinking we just might be able to do that...

7/29/2009 12:15:01 AM

6-0 going into the sixth, looks like a good day

haha he's a beast, and I think they went to the same HS

8/4/2009 10:16:55 AM

Luis Castillo sprained his ankle last night........ falling down the dugout stairs.

Comical at this point. 2010 is our year!!!!!

8/5/2009 11:09:51 AM

i turned off the game int he 8th last night thinking we had it in the bag...why is it that k-rod had his perfect season last year and couldn't save it for this year? its so unfair

8/5/2009 11:25:51 AM

^^It's sad that when I saw this at four AM, the first thing I thought of was you

Obligatory (no homo)

8/5/2009 12:20:59 PM

FUCKING

KIDDING

ME.

I thought of you guys.

Whats the difference between the Mets and a yard sale?































































one is collection of a bunch of worthless shit, and the other is a yard sale

the bucket

8/5/2009 8:23:58 PM

that could be referring to any Jaybee

my last name is 1200

8/5/2009 8:26:46 PM

my bad, good call

8/5/2009 8:28:57 PM

What's the 1200 reference anyway?

I guessed it was in reference to the + moneyline that UCLA had last year, but you've been registered longer than that debacle.

Do tell homey.

Well, they say laughter is the best medicine. Unfortunately, the Mets have OD'ed on it this year. At least they want collectively rip out our hearts with a choke in September.

8/5/2009 9:06:44 PM

at this rate the mets will be the #1 team in shutouts thrown AND shutouts thrown against

8/5/2009 10:22:01 PM

jaybee rules the school.

8/5/2009 11:24:07 PM

less than 60 games left to gain 10 on the phillies...its time to pull a 2007 rockies

8/6/2009 10:15:26 AM

This is great.

John Maine injured on DL. His replacement Fernando Nieve injured on DL. His replacement Jon Niese injured and now on DL. So they are moving Bobby Parnell to start again (as he did in unspectacular fashion all through the minors).

Oh yeah, their top two pitching prospects Jenry Mejia and Brad Holt and their top overall prospect Fernando Martinez (all consensus Top 50 prospects) have all been on the DL for extended periods of time the past month.

This isn't just older, brittle guys getting hurt. It's kids, guys in their prime AND older guys. I've never seen anything like this. Braves fans will say they had a 2008 similar, but I looked at the games missed and it is not ANYWHERE NEAR CLOSE in terms of player games lost and talent of those players who missed those games.

Fuck catching the Phillies, I just want all the guys to LIVE through the season...

8/6/2009 10:41:14 AM

I want an old Raleigh-Durham Mets jersey from the late 60s.

It would be the shit.

8/6/2009 10:57:07 AM

FML.

And I got nothing else. Jesus, baseball sucks ass.

8/8/2009 1:26:06 AM

I've got a loft for rent in Denver, 5 minute walk from Coors Field. We don't really care about baseball unless we're winning in September. PM if interested, we've got a good job market here too...








PS our stadium is surrounded by expensive houses and condos, not cash-for-clunker junkyards

8/8/2009 1:35:15 AM

Yeah, unfortunately this was the life I was chose for. Pre-ordained to root for a suck-ass and cursed organization. And I wouldn't have it any other way or something...

8/8/2009 1:36:29 AM

Yeah, I was born a Red Sox fan and hate them now for many reasons. I bought Rockies season tix in 2005 and have continued to do so.... I just sell them to transplants of other teams now, I've been to one game this year lol.

Thank God for Cubs fans, they pay in cash and pay premium for tix and lodging.

8/8/2009 1:44:30 AM

Its like one big practical joke played by the baseball gods...we're going to injure your already great $43 million closer, but do it when another guy has a perfect season and breaks the record. Then, we'll have you cut back on younger talent to make room for K-Rod's new $37 million contract, only to have him suck and be nothing like the guy you thought you were getting.

When Oliver Perez gives you such a good game, such a rarity, you don't fucking give up a grand slam in the bottom of the 9th to the fucking Padres. We can't catch a fucking break.

FUCK

8/8/2009 2:10:50 AM

It's finally complete. Now the top four players on the team will have been injured and missed major playing time this year.

Worst season, injury-wise, in baseball history. What can you do?

I hope everyone makes it through the season alive...

8/16/2009 8:57:03 AM

Its like Mike Piazza all over again

8/16/2009 10:54:32 AM

Shit like that and what happened to Hiroki Kuroda is what I feared most while playing. Especially pitching, cause the ball comes so much faster back at you.

9 runs on 17 hits WITHOUT Reyes, Delgado, Beltran, or Wright

8/18/2009 11:30:15 PM

even blind squirrels find nuts

8/19/2009 8:26:35 AM

Lowe has 2-3 starts a year like last night's game where he can't get his sinker working and the other team tees off on him. No big deal. Braves needed that win and blowing a 4 run lead sucks, but got to give credit to the Mets for pounding out 18 hits or whatever with a triple A lineup.

8/19/2009 1:31:13 PM

8/19/2009 11:20:07 PM

You beat our #9 (or is it #10 -- Santana, Maine, Pelfrey, Perez, Hernandez, Redding, Niese, Nieve...) starter with our four best position players on the DL.

Congratulations, I guess. Too bad the guy you are paying ace money to couldn't beat the AA Mets.

8/20/2009 8:53:14 AM

A SEASON OF INCHES

8/20/2009 9:50:19 AM

Its looking like getting Frenchy was one of the best trades Omar ever made

8/22/2009 12:24:15 AM

Frenchy tore a ligament in his hand.

Santana going to see elbow specialist after complaining about left elbow discomfort and is scratched from tomorrow's start.

Yay!

8/24/2009 5:21:10 PM

what a bunch of pussies, getting hurt left and right... just spend more money New York City, buy more players, they come cheap to the Big Apple

8/24/2009 5:46:29 PM

8/24/2009 5:51:52 PM

Santana out for rest of season.

At least we aren't contenders or this could have really sucked

8/26/2009 3:04:49 AM

And Pelfrey is the only starter left of the top 8.

The DL list for starters:

Santana
Niese
Nieve
Maine
Perez

Releases: Livan Hernandez

8/26/2009 5:45:27 PM

the mets highest paid players in 2009:
1. Carlos Beltran 19,243,682
2. Johan Santana 18,876,139
3. Gary Sheffield 14,000,000
4 a. Carlos Delgado 12,000,000
4 b. Oliver Perez 12,000,000

7. David Wright 7,750,000
8. Luis Castillo 6,250,000
9. Jose Reyes 6,125,000
10. J.J. Putz 6,000,000
11. Brian Schneider 4,900,000

I can't remember if Castillo had any DL time this year but everyone else on this list did

And take a look at these team salaries and think about where everyone else is in the standings (numbers based on 25-man roster):
1. NY Yankees 208,097,414
2. NY Mets 145,367,987
3. Chicago Cubs 134,058,500
4. Boston 122,435,399
