Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

That's what kills me about baseball today. It just doesn't seem right to have a pitcher who can't be left in for more than one inning. Taking a pitcher out after an inning for strategy, or even one batter, yeah I get that. But because the guy can't hack it for more than three or four batters? Meh.

But that's just me, a grumpy old fart at the end of a long tough day. :2

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets drop another one to a team they should be beating, 6-1 to the Cubs. Santana looked like stir fried dog crap and Rauch comes on in 1/3 of an inning and gives up 4 runs (granted they were all unearned)...will someone please send his ass to double A or release him, HE'S KILLING US!! :bh :bh Seems he can't get anyone out.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

What, and get a better bullpen? That would be rediculous.....

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

You had to think the Mets were gonna sleepwalk through yesterdays game.
They just played 3 games against the Yanks in front of sellout crowds.
And now they have to play the team with the worst record in MLB.
Sunday's game was late, so they probably got in to Chicago in the early morning.
Classic let down game, IMO!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Hopefully the Mets wake up for tonights game. The Mets can't afford to lose to last place teams.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets banter sux as long as they are not in last or near bottom....just sayin'....:D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Your boys were outta the cellar...for a day or so. :r :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

The question remains to be seen: Were they just keeping the spot warm for you? ;)

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Hush your mouth Thomas. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Yas'sur! ;s

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Thomas is a wise man...or wise-a$$....either way it put me in the mood for a Mets joke:

There were two men, one was a Mets fan and the other was a Phillies fan. These men were both madly in love with the same woman. So the woman challenged that whichever man does a better job at having sex with her would be her boyfriend. Both men accepted the challenge. That night, the woman had sex with the Mets fan and then the other night had sex with the Phillies fan. The next day the woman chose the Phillies fan to be her boyfriend. Shocked and outraged, the Mets fan asked why she didn't choose him. She replied by saying, "You, like your team not only come up short but always finish early!"

:r:r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

So a priest, a rabbi and a Mets fan walk into a bar....:noon....:r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Yeah, I agree Mac. That was almost as uncalled for from Keith as was your guy calling my Yanks chickens and whiners . . . just before he hit the DL. :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

But he did get the save against the Yanks before going on the DL. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets lose to the Cubs 5-3 and that makes four in a row. Will someone wake these ****ers up???

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets get a little payback with a 17-1 ass-whooping of the Cubs this afternoon.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

And If they'd spread those runs around a bit over the past week, they'd have something going for them. :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

We both know that isn't going to happen. We'll probably put up a goose egg against the Dodgers tomorrow. :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets beat a depleted Dodgers squad last night 3-2...back into second place.

For my brother Keith...the Phillies lose, yet again, and are now back in sole possession of the NL East Cellar!! :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Dickey wins his MLB leading 12th win last night as the Mets beat the Dodgers 9-0. Dickey goes 8 innings and fans 10. If he isn't the starter for the NL All Star team...it's a crime.

And the Mets take sole possession of 2nd place in the NL East, a full game ahead of the Braves. Still 3.5 behind the Nats.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Metes shutout the Dodgers again this evening, 5-0. Pick up a full game on the Nats. 2.5games out of first. :wo :wo

On another note, the Phillies are down 10 games now...and still in the cellar.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Sandoval beats out Wright for the All Star game...come on. :td :td

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Two balls get past Duda in the first inning....he's killing us tonight. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Dodgers are throwing the ball around as well. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets pissed one away last night and couldn't get the sweep...lost 8-3 to the Dodgers.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Not a great outing. Off today for some rest.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Guess the day off did us some good...beat the Phils tonight 11-1. Neise pitches 8 strong innings and Murphy has a game. And this puts the Phils 12 games back in the cellar. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

And the bullpen does us in yet again...piss away a 2-0 lead and now we're down 6-2. Looks like we're gonna give Cliff Lee his first victory of the year. :td :td

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

That was a crap game yesterday. With Dickey on the hill tonight, we at least have a chance to get the series win.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets come back against Papelbon in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Phillies, 6-5 and take the series. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets win 6-5! Dickey had an off night, but the Mets get a come from behind win in the ninth with a walk off RBI from Wright.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Man the Phils are having it tough this year! Nice comback win in the 9th to the Mets!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

What is it with the Cubs? Santana give up 7 runs on 13 hits...he got rocked. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets beat the Cubs today 3-1 as Gee goes eight strong innings. We manage to keep hold of second place for another day. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets getting skull f#*&ed by the Cubs....AGAIN!! :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

46-40 and in third place, 4.5 games back...I thought we'd be 15 games back (How ya doing Phillies)...and having a fire sale. Very pleasantly surprised by the first half. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

:noon :tu :noon

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

LaRussa opts for Matt Cain as opposed to RA Dickey to start for the NL All Stars tomorrow. This is another complete slap in the face to the Mets. First Pablo Sandoval wins the fans vote over David Wright with numbers not even close and now this?? WTF?? This is total BS!!! :td :td

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Doesn't make much sense to me either. Both Met players, based on their current stats, should have gotten the starting nod.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

The media is saying that Posey (NL starting catcher) wouldn't be able to catch Dickey, so they are waiting to bring in Ruiz (defensively better) and Dickey in the 5th or 6th...total BS move from LaRussa. He is not on my "banned list". :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

1- Larussa has no business managing as he is retired and has nothing to gain/lose by being there.

2- I personally don't care that our guys aren't starting. I think they both deserve to start, but whatever.

3- I think its pretty crazy the Giants have 4 starters now - and not one of them deserves to start. The fans stuffed the ballot for Melky, Posey and Panda. Current rumor is that the Giants told Tony they didn't want Posey catching Dickey, which earns Cain the starting spot.

If the Giants end up in the WS and the national league loses the all star game, the fans have nobody to blame but themselves.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

The Mets are back at it tonight against the Braves with Chris Young on the mound. LETS GO METS!!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Here's hoping for better second half Mets banter!! :r



;s



Not really....

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Not the way to return after the All Star break...we drop one 7-5 to the Braves. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

...As Keith says this, his Phillies are 15.0 games back. :D :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets piss another one away today...as the bullpen gives up another one. We lose to the Braves 8-7 and begin the slide downward. :bh :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Nah, that stops today! :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets are giving Santana ZERO support today...just like the beginning of the year. And Torres has had two balls hit over his head...WHY THE F%#K IS HE PLAYING CF???? This is not the way we were supposed to start the break. :td :td

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

And the Mets get swept by the Braves!! :td :td :td
