I *WAS* watching football

Then I found out SNY was broadcasting the first game.

Yay.

I was trying to do that too.

But I decided just to watch the Mets game and stay in here.

nice win, but

how could you not have a back up kicker who can at least kick an extra point.

yeah nugent is awful

missed a 32 yarder and a PAT. the guy was amazing at ohio state and now he’s mediocre. weird.

by gogomets on Sep 7, 2008 4:15 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

he is mediocre

but he didn’t miss an extra point. He injured himself on a field goal attempt and they went for two on the next td

oh my bad

that’s right. was thinking of a game from yesterday. but yeah, no back up kicker? the punter can’t make a PAT?

by gogomets on Sep 7, 2008 4:19 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

all kidding aside

what is with the Mets. IT’s ok to lose, but there is no energy there. They have 1 hit against the John McCain of the NL and have not scored yet with Hamels to go. Santana will earn his money. Look for 0-0 through 9

If Santana pitches well

and the hitters stop counting their money and start swinging the damage will be limited. A 2 game lead tomorrow will seem like a big victory

ah!

so we’ve used 5 RP’s in the 1st game of a double header. santana, better drink your gatorade son.

I've come back.

Just in time too. Well, it looks that way.

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.
