Ollie vs. Texas

This should be exciting—but probably in an “I hope everyone in the bleachers brought a glove” kind of way.

Good point from Ronnie

it looked like he barely touched that ball… and he sent it 380 feet to the opposite field

Wow

I can’t believe the Mets were unable to DL Alou retroactively because they called up Cancel within 10 days of sending him down. THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE YOU COULD HAVE CALLED UP???

How about this

6-run lead…I’d like to see Wagner blow this one. THAT would be impressive.

Another decent game for Delgado

1-3, 2B, R, BB, SB

I’m telling you, he’s coming around.

(OK, so it was the back end of a double steal, but people have been thrown out on the back end of double steals before.)

still though, that man bumps and grinds during his on field celebrations

as though he isn’t the anchor dragging this team and its 149 million dollar roster into oblivion.

"the" anchor?

Singular? You’ve got to be kidding.

well finally

an impressive or at least competent performance.
regarding recent mets catastrophes, it was like being stuck in a theater while the latest indiana jones movie plays on loop. in other words, hellish never ending disappointment.

hooray for the mets

it was nice to see ollie recover from that HR from hamilton.

8 k’s. nice job.

good win for the players, willile and the fans.

that’s a tough lineup for the METS to face and only give up one run. if i’m not mistaken, the RANGERS have the highest combined BA in the MLB.

in respect to Indiana Jones…oy wei…painful

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
