Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I can feel your pain from here Ryan. :tu The silver lining is that he will only spend a few days on the DL.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mac....the eternal optimist....:tf

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

As of today, the Mets are still in first place, whereas the Yankees have yet to win a game.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Go Mets!!! :D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I wouldn't mind reading that same quote in about two weeks! :)

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Or at least half of the quote.....and not the former half! ;)

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Reyes place don the DL because he's not in shape. Needs some more at bats and to get those legs in gear. I thought that was what the off-season was for?

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mac.....CBS Sportsline prediction:

NL East

1. Phillies: Moving from the AL East to the NL for Doc Halladay would be like you or me moving from a job at the assembly line to lying on the beaches of Margaritaville all day. Halladay and Cole Hamels should spend much of this summer turning out the lights on opponents. And Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard will be lighting those opponents back up. Placido Polanco might be the most underrated offensive acquisition of the year.

2. Braves: If Jason Heyward isn't the next Dave Parker, my name's not Danny Knobler. Or whatever. Meantime, please bring a rocking chair to the ballpark with you to present to retiring Braves manager Bobby Cox.

3. Marlins: Ricky Nolasco had such a good spring he became a trendy pick for NL Cy Young. Anybody for Hanley Ramirez for NL MVP this summer? And if Cameron plays more like Maybin than Diaz in center field, the Marlins will be there through September.

4. Mets: Dr. David Altchek, Mets medical director. Dr. Struan Coleman, team physician. Dr. Andrew Pearle, associate team physician. And Dr. Seth Miller, orthopedist. Because if you're gonna watch the Mets, you had better know the names of their doctors.

5. Nationals: What date you got in the "When will Stephen Strasburg be promoted to the majors" pool? I'm going with Saturday, May 29, in San Diego.

Keith...that's as wrong as two boys in bed!! :td :r :r

Hahahaha......

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

You very well might read that same quote in two weeks. But I guaran-damn-tee ya, you won't read it in two months. :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Come on fellas...what's with all the Met bashing? :r :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I ran into my local Metfan buddy on the sidewalk today, and asked him what he thought. All he did was :rolleyes:.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

This made me :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

And I see the hits just keep on coming...thanks Ryan!! :D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I first saw that at a Phillies game that I attended in late '07. Great sign! :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

What does a Mets fans and a Cubs fans have in common...."there's always next year"

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mac, this should sum it up for you....Obama throwing out the first pitch for the Nats/Phillies game, Pedro Martinez for the Sox last nite...and throwing out the first pitch for the Mets...Mike "The Situation" from MTV's "Jersey Shore"...:r:r:r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Good luck to the Mets today.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I started to try and watch that game last night and it was blacked out on mlb.tv. I didn't check ESPN2 to see if it was on cause the Yanks had it under control.
It gave me a big old smile this morning when I saw the Yanks choked and let the Sox paddle them.
I'm gonna watch the replay today. I bet it was an awesome game. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

How 'bout them Yankees blowing the lead last night and losing to the Sox. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I picked the Mets/Marlins game. Mets are doing well. Johan is kicking ass. :tu
I'm watching the game on my ipad. It freakin rocks. :D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Santana just pitched himself out of a big 4th inning jam. Man, he's fun to watch. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

David Wright goes yard in his first at bat of the season, Johan throws 6 solid innings, and the Mets win!! :tu Great opening day at Citifield!! :D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

....woot woot!.....Knew there was a reason I was following this thread....oh yea, the comic relief! :r....Seriously Mac, savor the win brother, they'll be few and far between (like a win every 5th day)....:D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

If the pitching holds up...we might surprise some people this year. :D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

You amongst them, Mac. :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Thanks Thomas!! :D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Just keepin' it real, my brother. ;)

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Watched the game today, man they looked good. Almost like they lost the dark cloud. Best part is that I didn't see their name mentioned in anyone's pick. I prefer to root for a underdog

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Nice win for the Mets today.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mets dropped one last night to the Marlins...so much for that undefeated season. :r :r On a side note, I LOVED how they fought back from being down 5-1. Last years team would have thrown in the towel. Marlins bullpen had a little to do with that. Got to grab the series tonight. Maine looked like crap!!!

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

...still can't believe that Omar did nothing in the offseason to bolster that staff...Happy 'bout it, but can't believe it.....

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Tell me about it Keith...but he brings 5 catchers into camp. WTF????? Starting my "Axe Omar" campaign early this year.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I think he has some "compromising" pics of the Owner.....

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I already recommended a url for you! :)

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Game three into the season and the pitching is already looking shady. Not good!! :td

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

not surprised are you?

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Not really...I thought we might make it into the season a little deeper before it looked crappy. :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

If they lose tonight, then i'll start to panic

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Not even a week into the season, and the word "panic" pops up. And you wonder why I'm not a Mets fan. :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Tight game tonight for the Mets. Ex Yankee Tyler Clippard pitched some great relief :tu

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I could not believe how that game ended. Bases loaded two outs down by one and the left fielder makes a diving catch to end the game. Tough loss for the Mets.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Matt Capps made it interesting, thats for sure.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

It's a damn shame that we can't even beat the Nats. :td Nothing like starting the season in the cellar!!

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Josh "The Hammer" Willingham with the big grand slam. Good player, I saw the game last year when he hit two slams in one game.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Nationals 4 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 7 1
Mets 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 7 0

UGLY!
