Save us, Carlos Voltron!

Ain’t much to say after last night . . . Let’s Go Mets! Ya Gotta Believe!

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on Sep 25, 2008 5:59 PM EDT   0 recs

Gotta Believe!

Well, here I am again. Work is suffering more than usual because of how much I am living and dying with the Mets.

C’mon Pedro, give us something good. The Old Pedro.

Well

It looks like Queens is gonna get nailed with heavy rain soon . . . maybe we’ll get a night off from the struggling.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

Wow, Shea looks like it is going to get pounded

It does not look good for tonight or the next several days with all of the rain.

I see some green blobs on the Wundermap

but not enough to stop the game yet.

The butcher and the baker and the people on the street, where did they go? To meet the Mets!

ROTFL at the poll question

That pretty much sums up my week, since my non-Mets-related life hasn’t been awesome, either. But none of that matters right now. Go Petey, go bats, go defense, go bullpen!

by Prince on Sep 25, 2008 6:49 PM EDT   0 recs

Is this the part where I say

Lets Go Mets?

I’m not feeling it. Maybe I’ll search YouTube for some old Rhengold & Plymouth Duster commercials. Where did I put my Lindsay Nelson sport jacket?

The butcher and the baker and the people on the street, where did they go? To meet the Mets!

I'm getting tired of saying "Let's Go Mets"

If they make the playoffs, I’ll be more enthusiastic about it. But right now I’m saying “Let’s GO Mets!!!” while gritting my teeth.

by Prince on Sep 25, 2008 6:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

The punishment will continue until morale improves

…Can we come up w/something better than; “Ya gotta believe”?

(Lou, you’re about to piss a bunch of people off)

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 25, 2008 7:04 PM EDT   0 recs

oh yeah...

+1 to the poll question

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 25, 2008 7:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Do you have any better ideas?

And, no.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on Sep 25, 2008 7:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

It is lame

But we’re the Mets. That’s how we roll. Instead of something like “We shall prevail”, we have something that sounds like a nagging mother.

by Prince on Sep 25, 2008 7:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

How about a "Touch of Grey" sing-along

The butcher and the baker and the people on the street, where did they go? To meet the Mets!

by Rod Gaspar Fan Club on Sep 25, 2008 7:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

How bout

“Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser? He’s a loser but he still keeps on tryin.”

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 25, 2008 7:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Totally correct.

I cant help but sound that way.

by losangelesmets on Sep 25, 2008 7:11 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Don't stop Believin'

Crud, that is already taken.

Proposed Rallying Cries:
Mets, It can’t get worse than this. Can it?

Rally Monkey? Screw it, we need the rally Gorilla. Go Mets.

Mets, rising to the occasion in 2008 or at least trying harder to get runners home form third with no outs in the bottom of the ninth.

I jest. It aint close to over. C’mon pedro. Get us to the promised land. He has got to have one more masterpiece in him.

by losangelesmets on Sep 25, 2008 7:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

The Rally Gorilla

Will he give underachieving players the Samsonite treatment?

by BobbyV_Incognito on Sep 25, 2008 7:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

There's always the dreaded "Cowboy Up"

But Aaron Boone was kind of a buzzkill.

by Prince on Sep 25, 2008 7:12 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

They traded "Cowboy Up" for "Idiots"

and look where that got them.

The butcher and the baker and the people on the street, where did they go? To meet the Mets!

by Rod Gaspar Fan Club on Sep 25, 2008 7:12 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Ugh

I hate “cowboy up.”

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on Sep 25, 2008 7:14 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

YES!

It reminds of the So Box and pucking Fapelbon

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 25, 2008 7:15 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Rally cry

How about, “Please, just don’t screw it up”, or “Just once get it done”?

by BobbyV_Incognito on Sep 25, 2008 7:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

wow

the looks on the players don’t exude “positivity”

but of course, they’ve looked like that all year

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 25, 2008 7:06 PM EDT   0 recs

ok

those empty seats are due to possible rain, disheartened mets fans or both

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 25, 2008 7:12 PM EDT   0 recs

I think it's mostly rain

There would be more people here if not for that. Though I can’t blame anyone who’s disheartened (as Micah Hoefpower goes deep off Pedro).

by Prince on Sep 25, 2008 7:14 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Pedro got Hoffed?

The butcher and the baker and the people on the street, where did they go? To meet the Mets!

by Rod Gaspar Fan Club on Sep 25, 2008 7:16 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That's great

The Hoff is worldwide.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on Sep 25, 2008 7:17 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

If you ask The Hoff

we will tell you that he is worldwide.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on Sep 25, 2008 7:20 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Eh.

I will look back on the Pedro signing with fondness. I will not look back on Pedro’s final season (hopefully, if you’re reading this, Omar) with fondness.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on Sep 25, 2008 7:15 PM EDT   0 recs

I really don't give a shit how many first-inning runs Pedro gives up

I don’t care how bad we look, or anything else, as long as we win this fucking game.

Omar Minaya

new AARP spokesperson

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 25, 2008 7:16 PM EDT   0 recs

i say

just start plunking people

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 25, 2008 7:18 PM EDT   0 recs

I'll co-sign that.

If we’re going to go down, let’s go down dirty.

The butcher and the baker and the people on the street, where did they go? To meet the Mets!

by Rod Gaspar Fan Club on Sep 25, 2008 7:19 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yep

time to establish a reputation

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 25, 2008 7:19 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Hell, why not?

Maybe a good brawl will fire the team up

by BobbyV_Incognito on Sep 25, 2008 7:20 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Eh

It only sort of worked last year, right? 1/3d of an inning from Tom Glavine killed that fire.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on Sep 25, 2008 7:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yes

the only thing that can save us is rain

and confessing our sins to Hay-Sus

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 25, 2008 7:19 PM EDT   0 recs

Well, it looks like Reyes wants to win

Just let him hit and steal every base. “F” it!

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 25, 2008 7:24 PM EDT   0 recs

Ah well

Where was that last night, Dub? I’ll take it but dang it would have been nice to have that fly-out last night.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on Sep 25, 2008 7:27 PM EDT   0 recs

Whoa

Are you a psychic?

by Prince on Sep 25, 2008 7:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Ron Darling is in my head

Or on this website.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on Sep 25, 2008 7:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

How funny would that be?

I tend to say things just before Gary says them.

by Prince on Sep 25, 2008 7:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I've been through this before

I posted articles on a website back in the mid-90s where we were convinced that The Onion was stealing all our ideas.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'
