So the Mets are staying in the same hotel as a furries convention

7/2/2009 6:23:26 PM

holy god that is hilarious

7/2/2009 6:23:49 PM

lol at Kevin Burkhardt.

On the air today, Keith Hernandez told his story about how he got on the elevator and saw one furry "stroking a beaver."

7/2/2009 6:41:11 PM

will be there tomorrow night about 10 rows up behind the mets dugout

pretty stoked and hope i dont get my ass beat

7/2/2009 10:49:33 PM

pretty terrible weekend to be in philly

7/5/2009 9:41:49 PM

shameful...if you take out barely beating the pirates, that's 6 down in a row to the yankees and phillies...plz 4 injuries to end now

7/6/2009 1:46:08 AM

Not looking good... and really not much encouraging news on the injury front. I mean Ollie is back (yay I guess...) but Reyes and Beltran are no closer than they were a week ago and Delgado is JUST starting baseball activities.

Wagner will be back soon at least.

7/6/2009 10:45:19 AM

We need to get to the all star break asap without any more injuries....I thought ncsu luck has been bad...

7/6/2009 3:30:17 PM

great, we'll have 3 closers and no clean up hitters

Thats probably the only time Keith Hernandez can ever honestly talk about stroking a beaver.

Since Keith Hernandez likes having sex with men.

7/6/2009 5:00:51 PM

That's Roger McDowell you're thinking of

7/6/2009 6:12:44 PM

You guys are lucky as shit to only be a game back in your division.

7/6/2009 7:51:38 PM

except that we're 4.5 back...

7/6/2009 10:18:49 PM

Oh wow. That says the Marlins. My bad; wasn't trying to troll. I think I will pull for the Mets simply because this thread is the most active on TWW these days...

7/6/2009 10:26:59 PM

It's only active because so much unbelievably bad shit happens to the Mets.

And lol at ESPN having a Top 10 of Mets fuck-ups this year so far this morning...

7/7/2009 11:26:24 AM

Well, we can talk about something else, other than the season...

like...

Who will get a no-hitter first...Mets or Rays?

7/7/2009 1:10:33 PM

It'll be Kazmir. Guaranteed.

[Edited on July 7, 2009 at 1:12 PM. Reason : x]

7/7/2009 1:12:03 PM

LOL. He's been sucking it up pretty hard this year. He's had like one good start, and that was a week or so ago when he came back from the DL against Toronto I believe. Otherwise, I think he had the highest (realistic; not counting the Wanger/Dice-Gay) ERA of a SP.

7/7/2009 1:14:14 PM

When I saw the Mets had the Rays on their schedule for this year I figured Kazmir was going to do it against us.

7/7/2009 4:05:29 PM

1 run in 3 games. Good stuff. Good stuff.

7/8/2009 10:51:04 AM

In lieu of any actual championship banners or pennants, you guys should just get a banner hanging at Citi that proclaims the team "Perpetual Next Year Champions"

7/8/2009 10:59:28 AM

Hi, Ernie.

Ny Mets Injuries/luck=> NCSU Football Injures/Luck

Over the last 2 years...both are pretty bad

7/8/2009 11:53:11 AM

Hey, don't worry, there's always next year

Wait, I already made that joke

7/8/2009 1:52:25 PM

I'm gonna buy a Bill Buckner jersey from somewheres.

7/8/2009 2:07:07 PM

3 up, 3 do-- awww, shit.

Well, he got out of it, anyway...

[Edited on July 8, 2009 at 8:11 PM. Reason : k]

7/8/2009 8:08:35 PM

Ok, I just subconsciously cheered for that. METS FAN AT HEART.

hahaha.

7/8/2009 8:15:19 PM

See, this is the exact shit I'm talking about with Kazmir.

Fucking garbage.

7/8/2009 8:39:27 PM

I cheered when Perez through his first strike...on the 5th pitch

7/8/2009 8:48:11 PM

Kazmir for All Star Game!!


for the NL

7/8/2009 8:49:02 PM

THAT WAS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!! WAY TO GO MURPHY!!!!

7/8/2009 9:52:58 PM

My TV was annexed. What happened?

7/8/2009 9:57:38 PM

the ball was hit sharply down the line, murphy was playing back to field it but it bounced off the bag and to the left. murphy ran over, reached down and flipped it behind his back to parnell covering at first for the out...it is questionable if we actually got the out or not, but they called it in our favor. i think we did get it but it was by less than an inch.

7/8/2009 10:01:06 PM

^better explanation

it was a very impressive play. will be #1 in web gems tonight

[Edited on July 8, 2009 at 10:02 PM. Reason : .]

7/8/2009 10:01:17 PM

guess i'll see it on sc later

7/8/2009 10:02:42 PM

I turned to my roommate and said "$5 says Manny hits it out vs k-rod"

at least i won $5....


It is almost harder to watch this team in the final 2 innings than NCSU basketball in the final 5 minutes

7/9/2009 11:29:09 PM

That mets not top 10 the other day was one of the funniest things i've seen in a while.

Hahaha!

7/10/2009 5:30:44 AM

7/10/2009 4:05:12 PM

7/10/2009 4:29:45 PM

It would ruin my whole facade

7/10/2009 4:31:20 PM

I'm starting to get the feeling you never went to Citi

7/10/2009 4:51:15 PM

That's not what I was getting at

"Mets, Braves swap Church, Francoeur National League East rivals complete trade for outfielders By Alden Gonzalez / MLB.com 07/10/09 6:03 PM ET Two National League East foes swapped outfielders on Friday, as the Mets traded Ryan Church to the Braves for Jeff Francoeur. Church, a 30-year-old lefty hitter, was batting .280 with two home runs and 22 RBIs in 67 games for the New York. Francoeur, a 25-year-old righty bat, was hitting .250 with five homers and 35 RBIs in 82 games for Atlanta. "This is a trade that's not only for now, but for next year and beyond, because of the youth of the player and that what he does fits the ballpark," general manager Omar Minaya said. Francoeur, 25, won a Gold Glove Award in 2007 and has more assists than any other big league outfielder since he made his Major League debut in July 2005. "This ballpark plays better for Francoeur because, even though Ryan Church is a good defensive player, Francoeur covers a lot of ground," Minaya said. "Base hits to right field -- you just don't run [on Francoeur]." Francoeur looked like a star when he burst onto the scene in 2005, hitting .300 with 14 home runs in 70 games for the Braves. He drove in more than 100 runs in each of his first two full seasons while playing all 162 games. Francoeur tailed off in 2008, batting just .239 with 11 home runs and 71 RBIs. The biggest concern regarding Francoeur is his plate discipline, or lack thereof. Francoeur has walked a total of 127 times in 2,632 career plate appearances, or roughly once every 20 times up. "Plate discipline has been an issue with Jeff," Minaya said. "Because he's 25 years old, I think he can improve on that." "

I don't know how I feel about this...Church was fantastic before his concussions, and I wouldn't want this to happen if he was still playing like he was. But now it looks like the Mets got the better end of the deal.

[Edited on July 10, 2009 at 7:19 PM. Reason : -]

7/10/2009 7:12:49 PM

My first guess is what the fuck are they fucking thinking? Church was one of the few guys who was hitting SOMEWHAT consistently and not making dumbass plays in the field every night.

7/10/2009 9:04:23 PM

I can't wait till the assholes in ny start booing frenchy

7/10/2009 9:14:03 PM

LOL. The first thing I thought of when I saw news of this earlier was that photoshop.

Hahahahah.

And they're basically conceding for the year; that much is clear.

7/10/2009 9:16:38 PM

great game on all levels tonight, maybe francoeur was the spark we needed

7/12/2009 12:27:09 AM

You keep thinking that.
