Worse...

The graph doesn’t even fully represent what just happened. It’s like, a 99.98% swing in one second. Because the pop up is so high percentage, really, the game was 99.98% in the bag while that ball was on the way into Castillo’s glove, and shot down to 0% in the blink of an eye.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Funny thing about that was

Ball three to Tex meant that 0.02% longshot was a loss instead of a tie. But you know, A-Rod’s so unclutchy, he’s definitely the guy you want up there. And he was. Its just that Luis is unclutchier.

The worst part about this loss? The fact that I was actually amused than horrified. No really, it’s as if nothing shocks me about this team anymore. NOTHING!

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!

Same here

I had the Penguins’ celebration in one frame and the Mets in the other. I couldn’t help but laugh as the horror unfolded.

I think I might take the rest of the weekend off

and enjoy the near-summer weather up here. That was just stunningly bad.

Well hmm...

I think my neighbor’s crack dealer demanding her money has diffused my focus on this horrible outcome a little bit.

Ooh, that's bad.

I'm going out in the open ocean tomorrow

far away from the mets. I am going to drink heavily, fish for some sea bass, drink some more have a nice meal and go back out on the ocean and fish from some striped bass. Not one minute will I hear or see the Mets.

So...

Why did Castillo throw to second base?

by JohnPeterson on Jun 12, 2009 11:39 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

It actually pisses me off that the Yankees celebrated.

You lost the game. So the Mets handed it to you at the last second. Take the win and walk quietly off the field.

Popping up, of course!

Do I detect a hint of disaffection in the increasing lack of punctiation

in your lolwuts lately? ;). Sorry its all I got right now.

I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit.  To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has.  If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
