i know spring training doesn't mean anything, but in eight Grapefruit League games, the Mets have collected 92 hits.

For comparison, the Rockies are in second with 75.

3/8/2010 6:07:07 PM

Here comes Santana Claus with his first start today

Just....don't fuck up.

3/9/2010 10:32:37 AM

Yikes

3/9/2010 2:00:12 PM

I wouldn't worry. I'm watching it in the background while I do some stuff and he looked fine. Just didn't have the location but he was sitting at 93 on his fastball which is all I was worried about. If he can sit there, his changeup will be back to being devastating.

3/9/2010 2:02:27 PM

it was the first time he's pitched to opponants since August and his surgery, of course there were going to be bumps.

i'm not worried at all.

3/9/2010 5:01:09 PM

Ike hit another bomb today. He needs to start in AAA but he is getting my pumped. Too bad for Murph.

3/9/2010 5:13:54 PM

^i still say Murphy should be the third outfielder until Beltran returns and let Ike start at first in the majors.

Also for your consideration, the mets have scored 67 runs, the Blue Jays in second with 50.

I know him getting rocked isn't a big deal

I just tend to overreact

I was ready to put Kaz Matsui in the hall of fame after his very first at bat

3/9/2010 5:17:34 PM

lol, i forgot kaz was still playing.

speaking of players we forget about, what happened to Timo Perez?

3/9/2010 9:23:53 PM

damn... tickets are expensive, we're looking to go to a game in July

3/12/2010 5:01:55 PM

Wait till July

12 games back

Half price

3/12/2010 5:03:28 PM

Hopefully for Matsui's sake he didn't fissure his anus this offseason like he did 2 years ago

3/12/2010 5:14:56 PM

My dad went down to Florida last week and took some really good pictures at spring training.

Bay:


Wright...in really good spirits:


Check out the muscles in Wright's arm, its obvious he's been building strength:




Not exactly sure what is going on here, but its funny:

3/15/2010 1:37:25 PM

I've got a Mets team in Franchise mode in MLB 2K10

I was proposed the trade offer by Texas of getting Kinsler for Beltran

I countered successfully and sent Beltran, Castillo and Francoeur to the Rangers, for Kinsler and Hamilton

Welcome to right field, Angel Pagan

3/23/2010 10:02:31 PM

Move Murphy to the outfield and bring up Davis. (I'm assuming the game has AA rosters)

3/24/2010 12:20:31 AM

Murphy is a corner INF. That is the only position he is capable of playing. He'll never be serviceable in the outfield or at 2B. And he'll probably not be a Mets player past 2010.

Anyway, Murphy has a sprained knee. If he misses opening day (we should know later today) than the Issac show starts earlier than expected. Part of me hopes he lights it up and we never see Murphy again... but I realize that is unlikely.

Also, nothing left to do but pray about the pitching. The rotation order is:

Santana
Maine
Niese
Pelfrey
Perez

Not a single sure thing in there.

3/31/2010 10:00:49 AM

niese was fighting for 5th spot and got 3td...i don't know if ishould be happy for him or scared for the two below him.

I just want to note that all the late comers and hanger-ons copied the three longest running baseball threads. Since I've been on here the Mets, Yankees and Braves have had their own thread every year. The Cardinals one is long lasting as well.

All these other fools just ride the coattails.

4/5/2010 10:17:14 AM

and today begins the quest for 81-81

lets go 4th place

4/5/2010 10:44:51 AM

Alex Cora, Mike Jacobs and Gary Matthews Jr. as our 1, 4 and 6 hitters

Benny Agbayani is rolling in his grave

4/5/2010 10:51:52 AM

Wright already has 10% of his homerun total from last year

4/5/2010 1:26:05 PM

on pace for 162!

4/5/2010 1:29:33 PM

Frenchy is actually drawing walks? Huh?

He actually did a good job of watching pitches in Spring, too. If he can just up his OBP he can be a decent player.

4/5/2010 2:31:28 PM

Get them to put it on the scoreboard there

4/5/2010 2:33:10 PM

W!

There's always an O's one but it dies after 2 weeks.

4/5/2010 6:26:01 PM

well at least we wont finish 0-162

4/6/2010 1:04:42 AM

great game, keep it up!

d-wright for mvp!

santana for cy young!

4/6/2010 9:44:37 AM

Well, that's about the dumbest play in the history of the sport.

4/7/2010 9:49:51 PM

4/7/2010 9:52:22 PM

pretty good game for april

4/7/2010 10:18:41 PM

phantom balk

TIE game

4/7/2010 10:23:41 PM

^^^ lol. Rey Ordonez was the most overrated piece of shit ever. Yeah he played great defense, but so did Rafael Belliard.

4/8/2010 8:02:46 AM

^^^^i still have that issue, my dad got an extra copy and framed the cover

4/8/2010 5:04:21 PM

we hit like a bunch of bitches

4/8/2010 7:56:42 PM

4/8/2010 10:27:47 PM

Hopefully Reyes' return will be the start of something good for the Mets.

4/9/2010 12:16:56 AM

hopefully getting rid of Matthews will be the start of something good for the Mets.

4/9/2010 4:33:54 AM

Reyes is the single most important guy on the team. Has been since 2006. As he goes, the Mets go.

I can't tell you how disheartening it is to have the bottom of the order do well and get on base (like on Weds.) and have ........... Alex Cora come to the plate.

On the plus side, Niese looked like he can be a pretty good pitcher. He's got a nice cutter now to go along with a 92 mph fastball and his nasty curve. He'll be a solid mid-rotation guy.

4/9/2010 9:50:30 AM

"According to manager Jerry Manuel, shortstop Jose Reyes could be back with the Mets on Saturday."

Was that Sports Illustrated cover shot before or after Ventura and Nolan Ryan went at it? I want to say after, in which case LOL at him in a headlock

4/9/2010 12:28:01 PM

another dominating series opener...there's no excuse to not sweep this series with the way we're hitting and washington's lack thereof

4/10/2010 3:33:57 AM

I can agree with that... but it depends of if we get Ollie or his evil twin Rollie tonight.

Also, Jose IS back today. Can't wait to watch him play. He is the ONE guy that is can't miss in baseball still. Never know what he'll do.

[Edited on April 10, 2010 at 10:43 AM. Reason : Also, Ike Davis is already tearing up AAA. 3 2B and a HR so far in two games. Kid is sick.]

Ryan retired in 1994, so this was long after that. I have an Ondonez rookie card with him in a St. Lucie Mets uni from 1996(?)

4/10/2010 4:38:58 PM

Sweet. Grand slam against Johan in the first. Great start to the year for this fucking team.

4/11/2010 1:24:49 PM

yep. another shitty season ahead

santana HAD to come out today and be great. esp with the way the offense has been thus far
