Another Zero

I've had enough of Heilman. He goes to the Zeros list!

Collecting Baseball Cards

A few months ago I started to collect baseball cards. I'll be posting some of these cards to share with you.. there are some favorites and some not so favorites but worth having. Most of them are of former and current Mets players but I have some that are peculiar and new to me since I've only been following baseball and the Mets since 1992. Soccer was my first love.

I'll start with my favorite card yet. A Topps 2004 Cracker Jack-Mike Piazza baseball card. The curious thing about the card is that the description reads "MIKE PIAZZA, New York Nationals" It's a classic.

Boo Birds, Anxiety and 2007

Ever since the season started all I've heard from the media has been how the Mets and their fans can't get 2007 out of their heads.

Attention media:

I don't know what fans you are talking about but as soon as the Mets signed Santana 2007 was like 1987 for me. I wasn't even in the US in 1987 that's how much I remember 2007. Okay?

Stop bringing up.. all the frigging know it all personalities (mike fatboy francesa and the other freaks at WFAN and SNY for that matter) seem to bring it up all the time. The fact is that we, the fans, are pissed off right now because our team is better than what is showing to be on the field. Is 2 or 3 games over .500 too much to ask? Come on, man! Everyone I talk to keeps telling me it's been 10, 11 games. Well, you know what ? That's not acceptable! A team with Santana, Reyes, DWright, Delgado, Beltran.. come on!! Who else do you need on this team to make it happen? Stop worrying so much about what the media and your fans think and go out there and play real baseball. Show us you can win .. and maybe there will be no boos. Is it too much to ask? NO! You are more than capable.. but you seem tentative and you look like you don't want to be there. Throw strikes and get hits (specially with bases loaded) come on, guys! You are better than this! As far as booing Santana goes.. well, if you did that at the game, you are an idiot!

Do I still feel the same about Willie, Delgado and Heilman? Yes... they should all be gone. We will regret not firing Willie this year. I find it very interesting that he gets on a pitcher that didn't give up a hit until yesterday's game and not on the players he should get on! Heilman? Hello??!! Be fair Willie, be fair!

Go get 'em boys!!

They have to go

HOW MUCH OF THIS SHIT DO WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH?

GET RID OF HEILMAN
GET RID OF DELGADO
GET RID OF WILLIE

ENOUGH ALREADY!

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

I can't stand it anymore. I don't wanna hear any excuses about this met team anymore. Enough is enough. These guys have no fire in them... they are flat. They remind me of a fizzled out coca cola. What is it going to take to beat this @(*&*$&% Phillie team? I can understand the Braves, don't ask me why, but I do understand not being able to beat the Braves.. oh, maybe because they own us. But the fucking Phillies? Come on guys.. let's go already. You know, this past two years I've been buying a lot more collectables than ever... and it's going to stop. QUICKLY! Why spend my money on a loser team like the Mets? I'm sick of it.. You don't wanna be booed? Okay.. show us something then.

I could swear that I had blogged about firing Willie in 2007.. but to my surprise, I didn't. So i'll say it right now. FIRE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's get a manager who can put some fire into this fucking team.

Allright let me do this:

1 Fire Willie

2 Get rid of Delgado

3 Heilman needs to go !!!!!!!!!!!

4 *willie's on the fan/yes tv and I'm giving him the finger*

5 Get rid of El Duque

6 Fuck!!!!!!!!!

It's April Fools day...

So I'm watching the game and .. well, there it was... another fucked up injury to our main man.. one of them anyway. But wait a second.. it's April Fools Day right? right? .. hello? I'm waiting for the Mets to announce that they are messing with our heads and that this was all Pedro's idea. That Pedro is something else. Come on Pedro cut it out.. Hello? Come on guys, this is not funny.. Willie? Omar? Anyone? Guys? ..... oh shit!

walking into the death star

Ever since my voluntary reassignment I've been looking for a barber closer to home. Donning my Mets jacket, Mets hat, and watch.. I got in the car and started looking for one. I found one right on main st, of course. I parked the vehicle, walked into the establishment and I'm greeted with a loud "ohhhhh look at this guy, he's a Met fan". Right in front of me was Derek Jeter, a fathead Derek Jeter. I was very nervous..I felt like I had just walked into the Death Star in nothing but my mets underwear. Yes, I have those.

So the first thing I said was; hey I bleed red too (I wasn't walking out of there without a haircut..I needed it..bad!!) The guy that seemed to be the loudest was the owner.. The Mario Batalli look alike. I purposely let other people go in front of me so he wouldn't fuck up my hair.

The less assuming barber waves me over and I ask him if he too was a Yankee fan. He said, it depends on the tip. I knew I could work with this guy. Money talks right? Well, after a few laughs, the nerves disappeared and I knew I had found my new barber. I no longer felt like a caveman. I can't believe what I put my self through for a haircut....I don't even want to think what's going to happen when I go back in two weeks.

Numbers sandwich with tedious sauce

I had a shitty day from the get go this morning. To compound things, I look like the biggest ass to my superiors....I managed to looked like I didn't know what I was doing $(*&#(*$%&. All the minutia, all the tedious numbers, checking and double checking and triple checking... sucks! I can't wait for the week to be over. I can't wait for baseball season to start....The only thing that's keeping me sane is baseball. Is Friday here yet?
