Mets Pledge

After some thinking I've realized how much of a unrealistic shit I've been to my team. There's no doubt they want to win badly, they are human and will fall.. it happens, we just expect you to get right up. I realize that it's only a game.. but it's an important game that we all love. We just want to see you win.. sorry for not being the perfect fans. So here's my pledge to this team..

"I pledge allegiance to the New York Mets, and to its players, coaches and manager. I pledge that I will not boo, but encourage.. will not jeer, but cheer.. will not give up, but always "believe." For our team, our orange and blue, always. Let's Go Mets!" April 27, 2008.

Bobby where art thou

Sometimes I wonder..What could Bobby do with this team.. I can guarantee you that we would of won a penant already.

Look at what he writes on his blog:

(April 12th) We had another Sayonara (game-ending) win last night, what a great game! Omatsu came through in the clutch, with a pinch hit in the 9th inning to drive the winning run. Kakunaka had a great at-bat – then was walked to 1st to lead the inning. He went to 3rd on Hori’s hit and we celebrated on the field. It was a great thing to see! Naruse pitched a near perfect nine innings. He gave up one run on a missed cue by Imae, but he pitched extremely well. It was the best he’s pitched all season. He had great control and threw all of his pitches for strikes, staying ahead in the count. As everyone knows, Zuleta, Fukuura, and Nishioka are all injured, but I really like the way Nemoto and Tanaka Masahiko are playing as they fill in. All are doing a fine job and will hopefully continue to give us power. Thank you!

Oh yes.. I miss Bobby Valentine but I can only dream.

Isiah Randolph really makes me angry. I don't want to see him around in 2009.

They are back!

Looks like the "good old Mets" are back in perfect form. They are definately first when it comes to loosing. I've keep hearing about how the Mets and the rest of their division is bunched together and it will be a close race by the end of the year. Well, you know what? The Mets should not be bunched together with anyone. they should be running away with the East this year. Are they a perfect team.. of course not.. but they should be the "team to beat" not the team everyone beats. Am I over reacting? Maybe.. what other alternative do I have? I've been a fan since '91 I have nothing to root for with this team. I love the Mets.. but right now they are as sad as a wet dog in the middle of winter. Sad, very sad. What pisses me off even more is that I can't even follow my forgotten soccer team , they even suck nowadays. I have no choice but to concentrate on fishing this year. Maybe I'll get lucky this year like in 2007..

Calm Down Met Fans...

I've been bitching about the Willie.Delgado.Heilman trio like one of those crazy people walking around nyc with a big sign on their chest.. you know, the one that says It's the end of the world.. only to have been ignored by nearly everyone I talk to about mets baseball. Okay, keep ignoring but you'll see I'm 100% right at the end of the pathetic season we are going to have.

While the fans have booed.. and booed badly, what has this trio, pieces of cow dung, given us to cheer about? Nothing. Other than Johan Santana,who by the way has a higher batting average than Delputo, they have given us nothing.

Everyone is saying that the Met fan over-reacting... why wouldn't we over react?

Let's point out some really good reasons why we shouldn't over react:

1) It's only April (bull shit...)

2) So what if Delgado is hitting .208 and leaving runners on base like crazy (my dead aunt Lola hits better than that)

3) Willie's moves are not idiotic, not sir. (Can you say Isiah Randolph?)

4) Willie's blindness (see #3)

5) It's early in the year (see #1)

6) You can't jump on conclusions on Delgado hitting he'll come out of his 2007-2008 funk (Yeah.. just like I can't predict that gas will hit 4 bucks a gallon...it's too early in the year to tell..right? by the way gas is $3.75/gal right now)

7) Because we are Met fans and everything that is good in the world of sports happens to us ( what world are you from asshole?)

8) Because after the train wreck of 2008 season Isiah Randolph.Deldone.Heilputo won't be around (well, if that's the case... we are in good shape..I can't wait for 2009 so in the mean time, suck it up met fans)

I don't know what makes me want to vomit more, Willie's inability to recognize that Delgado is done or Dwyane Wade dating Star Jones??? DUDE WTF!!!!

Harold Reynolds joins SNY

Can Harold play 1st base?

Harold was great at Baseball Tonight. He's excellent as an analyst. Great move by SNY.

41 HR's

I remember watching Todd's 41st HR in 1996. It was a classic... a great memory!
