I feel horrible
for the first time all season. I picked the Mets to lose in the swag. What kind of fan am I!

What has Ollie done to make you do such a thing.

umm...
Give up 24 Earned Runs in 5 games
Walk 21 batters
Average over 2 hits/walks per game
become the first Met back even though he was the last one we wanted.

I have a tough choice here
Watch the ESPN coverage, which means Steve Phillips, or the Dodger coverage, which means Steve Lyons (awful to the point where you cringe when he tries to force jokes). Could always choose mute I guess.

ESPN really knows how to pile on when the Mets do bad.
They seem to forget about the injuries and just say “How can you lose that many games with that payroll”

Nothing worse than walks by your pitcher.

I had like 3 fat jokes involving Livan’s stomach rumbling but I decided against it.

If they were to make it to the playoffs, it’d be Ya Gotta Believe Mets ‘73 style. Excellent pitching from Lincecum, backed up by Cain with help from Zito, Johnson, Wilson, Romo and Affeldt. But that lineup healthy, is as bad as the Mets’ current lineup.

They remind me a lot of the mets from 07
The 07 Mets were famous for either splitting series or blowing the third game in series they won the first two.
The Giants I’ve noticed have the same issue. They have only two sweeps on the entire year against NL foes and two others against AL foes. Looking at the lack of killer instinct on that team has me picking them as this years biggest chokers.
Today they lost 7-0 against the Marlins. A team they won the first two games against.
Their last series they blew the last game against Houston.

Wright probably is not going to be the big leader
or captain type a lot of people think he should be.
I think he has leadership qualities but not the kind where he’s the guy you look to everygame in the locker room. I don’t think that’s his comfort zone.
Nothing wrong with that.

I'll go ahead and say it.
That makes up for the drop at Florida earlier this year.

I can't say that
that cost Santana a win. Anyone but Santana…but not him. Santana allowed ZERO earned runs and lost.

Tie goes to the hammer.
You don't cheer for the Mets. You drink for the Mets.

He was safe
but that was insane. Give him the out for pure aesthetics.

Guys on Espn are saying he got him
Which I’, kinda surpised.
Either way, if he was safe makes up for the crappy call on Castillo last night at third.

That was awesome!
It was probably a tie, but I don’t care.

Better show that as THE top play on SportsCenter. Especially after those damn lowlights we were forced to see.

Who cares about ESPN
seriously who really cares what they do or say. Stop watching them and their power to annoy the shit out of you totally disappears.

Stop wishing and do it
I havent watched them in years. And my sports IQ has gone up exponentially every minute I dont watch their stupid programs. They are simply terrible and should not be rewarded with ratings.

That’s about all that is on in our background.

My girlfriend doesn't understand how incredible the play was!
She said: “It was no big deal. It was a coincidence. She could do it.” (Falling down laughing)
I guess I should just be happy my girlfriend is watching the game with me.
