June is gut check time.

I guess you could say that the guys have already had their guts checked!

Hey-oooooo!

This reads like a See Spot Run book. Me happy!

Centerpede 101 is Jerry Manuel!!!

But seriously, the Mets are going to face stiff competition every week this month. Not only will Wallace Matthews put them down every other day, and Steve Phillips will have a job with ESPN, but Jerry will confuse them every day with strange line-ups and bunting with the bases loaded. I think if at the end of the month the Mets are still a baseball team, then the real tests will begin in July.

for the month of June.

2-1 PIT, 3-0 WAS, 1-2 PHI, 1-2 NYA

That keeps their head above water. Obviously, it’s not ideal and 2-1 against the Skanks would be better, but whatever.

He enjoys the WNBA. So now we know he can’t write and is a Post Op Lesbo. The mystery is slowly being uncovered.

This Era of Mets is very talented probably just as talented as the team in the mid 80’s when the Mets had argubly the best team in baseball, however inconsistency seems to follow this injury ridden team. An old coach once told me the key to avoiding injury is to stay loose whenever you get a chance to strech do it. I can’t see this team winning any kind of championship because of this..You can’t really play hard and to your potential on a full stomach. The Mets that won those titles came to play everyday and just didn’t show up for the game and live off of things you did 2 or three years ago. Now it would be one thing if they did not have the talent but they do they just don’t come to play everyday sometimes they don’t come to play for a week and in the east thats just not gonna cut it. What needs to happen is they need to pull away from the table for a few days then i’m sure we will see some great baseball from some very talented players….

To answer a question first pull away from the table just means the Mets of this Era don’t play hungry enough. Lead off hitting in my opinion sets the tone on how a team is going to play you how they position the infield what kind of pitch selecion they gonna give you. Your job as a lead off hitter is to generate runs period. Jose Reyes in my opinion is still walking around with a big P on his back and i’ll tell you why. He has only improved on some parts of his game but he needs to take it further if he wants to be great. Ricky Henderson in his prime gave pitchers and infielders night mares because of this…. when he came to the plate he was a threat to bunt because of his speed the in field had to play out of position most times and when he had the pitcher and infield off balance guessing what he was gonna do he either got the pitch he wanted or he walked. He has also lead off games with homeruns because he kept them off balance and in turn the pitcher made bad pitch selections. Mr. Reyes has the talent to instill that same fear Ricky Henderson did in his prime.
