I don't even want to talk about the game. The Mets have been one big heaping pile of stinky against the Phillies (and everyone else, for that matter), so I'm not going to further analyze anything tonight. I just want to see the Mets go out and play mistake-free baseball. I'd like to see a good start out of Mike Pelfrey for his own sake as well as that of the Mets.
Darryl Strawberry will be joining the SNY team beginning April 28. He will work with Matt Yallof on the pre- and post-game segments from SNY's studios. No word yet on whether he will get his suits from the same place as Maz.
Scott Schoeneweis was visibly shaken by the Shea fans' reaction to his name during yesterday's opening ceremonies. I'm not a booer, and I'll never understand giving a player shit for going out there and doing his job, shabbily as he may do it. I'll curse him out in the privacy of my home, but it's just disrespectful to bring that to the game. Stay classy, Mets fans; you're better than that.

yeah that sucks for schoe
but hes also rich, so i pretty much dont care. if this was some minor league call up trying to make the roster and sucking, like gomez last year, i'd probably feel different. but schoe and his $10+ mil contract and mlb pension can toughen up.
plus
Baseball stadiums are one of the last sporting venues where the unwashed masses can show up and have their voices heard. Tickets are getting more expensive, we should enjoy this while it lasts.
new nats park
dude, you should see how much they jacked up prices at the new nationals stadium. granted, rfk was a dump, but i'd take decent outfield bleachers for 5-10 bucks there over the $37 they go for now.
nice start for Pelfrey
Hope he can keep it up for a while.
joe morgan "guarantees"
that kendrick will pitch well against us tonight.
my goodness.
Well, that's how the top-of-the-order formula is supposed to work!
alright boys
amazing. when reyes gets on...it's amazing..
swing the bats!
stop clogging up the bases! you have to drive in the runs!
kidding, kidding. i
lock jaw or something
hold on... nevermind - thot it'd be on wiki. anyway, yeah i thot i remember it being lockjaw.
off topic
just crushed a $5 foot long from subway. anyway else love their cookies? i just ate three and i want like, 10 more.
Hahaha
"Take it easy, Lauren" -- Keith Hernandez, reacting to an "ask the booth" question about the Mets' lack of energy perhaps being a holdover from last season's collapse.
"Being outscored by your opponents does not look good
In this offensive age."
Or, um, any other age.
anyone else
think its weird that pagan is hitting second? you want to give dwright all the RBI opportunities as possible but id rather have his high OBP batting there and move beltran and delgado up than put in pagan, just cause he can, i dunno, bunt or some shit
well yeah
do you expect willie to understand that though?
yea, you know me
DW should be batting second or fourth
but willie subscribes to the scrappy #2 hitter school of thought
Those were balls
Close, but balls. Six walks in two innings, and there's still a good chance he gets out of this shit with just the one run he allowed in the first.
Is this going to be one of these games
where the Mets spoil a ton of early opportunities and then the pitcher clamps down?
i'm going with
"spoil a ton of early opportunities, give up a bunch of runs on their own, and then it doesn't matter how bad their starter was"
Finally getting a few breaks
just ned some hits
It's time someone put their foot down... and that foot is me.
zomg
This time it's not our team melting down with the errors!
finally
the opposing pitcher is touched by an Angel!
hey good call joe
right on with your analysis as always. guaranteeing that kendrick will pitch well tonight, hahaha
dammit.
give wright the rbi please. fantasy team needs it.
can anything else
go wrong? FINALLY shit is going our way
Wayne Hagin annoys me (again)
Motherfucker, learn to use the subjunctive when you're spinning out complicated what-if scenarios. You can't be saying "two runs are in and someone else is in scoring position IF that ball isn't caught" in the middle of calling a game.
Crazy train
Chuch needs to change that intro song. Larry has forever corrupted that song.
It's time someone put their foot down... and that foot is me.
Pelfrey
He really needs a changeup. I think he'll be good, but right now hitters are making too solid contact off him. A changeup, used about 5% of the time, would really help.
nice vest too
He kind looks like the joker to me.
It's time someone put their foot down... and that foot is me.
yea well
the Trader Joe's Winterfest Doublebock. They were selling cases for $12. Kind of a good deal.
why is Pagan's music the Superman theme?
Isn't that choice a little, I don't know, optimistic?
I'm still here
just keeping very quiet.
Don't want to scare the win away.
it's boring
if the mets are winning. no whining about omar/willie/bullpen
Oughtn't they bring in Wagner for the ninth?
I can just see him blowing a save on Thursday and going "Mwehhhh they hadn't used me in too long mehhhhhh"
i'd like to say
nothing to complain about there. other than we were outhit
I.M. Forme

I couldn't think of a better thing happening to the mets :)
