June Is Gut Check Time Pt. 2
Well June was gut check time. The Mets had to play the Pirates,the Nationals,the Phillies,and the Yankees. The record against these teams were 4 wins 8 losses. Bad pitching was the cause of this that might be true. The Mets were swept in Pittsburgh. Blown saves against he Phillies. Getting blown out on Sunday to the Yankees. Bad fielding (dropped pop up on Friday to the Yankees). The only series that the Mets won was against the Nationals. Some gut check, injuries played a part but the Mets didn't preform the way that they should. Jerry Manuel must rally the troops and have them ready. They must stay close to the Phillies so that they can stay in the hunt. The Mets failed the first gut check. Lets hope that when gut check time comes again the Mets will pass it with flying colors.

Once a week, I can deal with, so long as some of the others are entertained. But a daily occurrence dilutes the FanPost section more than should be allowed.

But it's gut check time! Again!
I’m with you. Once in a while still keeps some novelty to the terribleness; daily, um, “updates” (?) are just unnecessary.

I'm pretty sure I was at the first ever taping of GUTS
That’s what I was lead to believe anyway, it had definitely never aired before when I was there.

THAT IS AWESOME
I worshiped guts. I’m still trying to find if someone is selling a piece o’ the “Crag” I would pay serious cash for that.

Ha! Like one of those little green foam rocks
They’d drop on the kids as they reached the top? Ahh, good times, good times. I wonder what ever happened to Mo’s whistle….I imagine something similar to what happened to Mike O’Malley’s self respect.

Not a fan of "The Rick"?

Or the long-running Mike O’Malley Show? (which also featured Will Arnett, apparently)

Ha
I’d always wondered where Arnett had been hiding before Arrested Development. Bateman showed up in the odd Ben Stiller movie and stuff, but I never remembered seeing Arnett, and thus, he will forever be G.O.B., and everytime I see him, I will think about Europe (the band not the continent).

Arnett basically plays G.O.B. in every role
and that’s just fine. He pops up in random stuff – off the top of my head Blades of Glory, RV (which I’ve seen twice somehow), and a few 30 Rock episodes. I did catch a pre-AD Law and Order: SVU episode featuring him as a creepy sex-tourism travel agent — weird.

Yeah its true, he was born for that role
And on that note, what’s going on with Michael Cera? Yeah, yeah, we all love George Michael, but seriously. There was all that noise about how he didn’t wanna do the A.D. movie, and now I guess he’s in or whatever, but yeah. You’re George Michael. I don’t care if you’re working with Seth Rogen, a pregnant chick, or Jack Black as a caveman, you’re still George Michael.

Good point
Arnett clearly just is GOB. If you see him on a talk show it’s pretty startling.

Oh and "Lets Go to Prison!"
Also directed by Bob Odenkirk. He was pretty much GOB in that too.

I was borderline embarrassed
that i actually found Lets go to Prison very funny. It was totally stupid, but I don’t know, it just had me rolling. Sort of like idiocracy.

I think the 't' key on Centerpede's keyboard is not functioning properly
Either that or he doesn’t know how to spell “the”.
Blown saves against he Phillies.
My only question is even with this bounce back win,how many more times this season are he Mets going to drive their fans crazy?
Wouldn’t surprise me either way.

there's multiple 't's in those quotes
so my guess is Centerpede can’t quite figure out the correct way to spell ‘the’. That or he thinks the Phillies and the Mets are battling to be the Masters of the Universe

That's a much better explanation
The He-Mets vs the He-Phillies!
Leaves open the option of there being She-Mets someday too…

i liked the last sentence
but centerepede 101 is going to have to step it up if he wants to be the offical AA mascot. time for a gut check c101.
Lets hope that when gut check time comes again the Mets will pass it with flying colors.

Someone needs to do a 'Centerpede's Greatest Hits' post
From the literary genious that brought us “Bad News Mets”, “Catch the Damn Ball” and “June Is Gut Check Time, Parts 1 & 2”, here are Centerpede’s Greatest Hits!!!

I honestly think
the Mets have played some of their better baseball of the season in the last 7 days. A combination of bad luck, flukiness, and shitty timing has led to their 2-4 in the last 6 games. Outside of the Sunday Johan game, I thought this may have been the best they have played all year. Pelf and Redding both pitch well against Philly, the bats wake up, and they didn’t roll over and die when they got behind, they kept putting together rallies and they just seem more inspired. I think there is more fight in this team. I still think a Nick Johnson would really help this team out so much. It instantly makes their lineup that much deeper. You drop Sheff to 6 and then all the sudden you have a 3-7 of Beltran, Wright, Johnson, Sheff, Church as opposed to Beltran, Sheff, Wright, Tatis, Church
