That was yesterdays game Dave. He was 0-4 with two K's today. :D

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

My bad, sorry. Guess I was just excited to see him get a hit!

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

His average is now a whopping .167. More Mets woes...Parnell will have Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the 2014 season.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

That sucks. Guess we'll be seeing what Valverde is made of.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets beat the Braves 4-0!

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

I'll take a shutout against the Braves any day of the week. So, when is Wright going to start hitting???

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

when you guys get about 15 games out of first. Sooooo, June.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

June? What are you talking about Rob, that'll happen well before June. :D

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

i was trying to be nice. ;)

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

4-2 loss to the Braves tonight. Made a nice push in the 9th, but fell short.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

4-3...but who's counting. We have the worst batting average in MLB. On a good note, the bullpen didn't give up a run.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets drop one to the Angels, 5-4, in 11 innings. This Familia kid isn't looking so good.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets beat the Angels, 7-6, in 13 innings. Valverde blows his first save...I'm sure there'll be many more.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets were skull drug by the Angels today, 14-2. Colon looked like stir fried dog sh*t!!

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

What a crap game. Love your analogy, Mac!

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets beat the D-Backs last night, 7-3. Wheeler gets his first win of the year.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets jump on the D-Backs last night, 9-0. Back to .500. :wo :wo Legares heads to the DL, called up Nieuwenhuis and he hits a HR. :D

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

:noon:noon:noon

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets beat the D-Backs this afternoon, 5-2, and sweep the series. First one of 2014. Gee looked really good...7 innings of three hit ball. Puts us a game over .500 at 8-7. I'll take it. With this bullpen, I thought we'd be 3-12. :D

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets FINALLY trade Ike Davis. Was shipped to Pittsburgh for minor League right-handed pitcher Zack Thornton and a player to be named. Now, let's get something for Duda. :D

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets getting no hit through 7 innings by Aaron Harang...and then the Braves took him out. WTF????

Wright wrecks the no-no in the eighth. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

No mention of the final score?
I guess it's a good day around these parts when your team gets shut out but doesn't get no hit?
Whatever gets you through the day, my man! :D

I can't wait for Ike to get hot in Pittsburgh.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Dom, that was posted while the game was still in progress.

Mets get shutout by the Braves, but not no-hit, 6-0. :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Bullpen p*sses another one away this evening. As we lose to the Braves, 7-5. Mets tried to come back in the 9th, but couldn't pull it off. D'Arnaud grounds out with the bases loaded. Granderson isn't contributing at all... .143. Come on man!!

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets salvage a win in the series against the Braves, winning 4-3 in 14 innings. Bullpen held it together for 8 innings. Back to .500 at 9-9. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

You can't win em all

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets shutout the Cards, 2-0. Mejia looked good.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Tejada looked good in the field as well

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

5/11 so far with a broken bat grand slam yesterday! :r

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Figures.........

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

They can have him. Let's revisit this posting in about two months. When good 'ole Ike is in a 3-39 slump with 26 strikeouts. :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

You're confusing Ike with Granderson! :noon

;s

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Nope...because Granderson is in that slump RIGHT NOW!!! :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Cardinals returned the favor last night by shutting us out, 3-0.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets hang on to beat the Cardinals last night, 3-2. Wacha struck out 10, but walked 5...and gave us a few runs. Farnsworth held on to seal the deal. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets recall Bobby Abreu. For what? I'm still shocked they signed him to a minor league deal. What can a 40 year old outfielder do for us? :confused: :confused:

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

FWIW, of last night's starting outfielders, not a single one of them is above the Mendoza Line. The only OF on the current roster that eclipses it is Eric Young Jr, and he's hitting .222.
Truth be told, he can't hurt.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Says you. Lagares needs to hurry back...he was the only OF pulling his weight.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets beat the Cardinals this afternoon, 4-1, and took 3 of 4 for the series. Dice-K gets the save. Chris Young hits his first HR as a Met and Granderson has an RBI in his pinch-hitting appearance. Even Abreu got a hit this afternoon. :D <---that's for Dom. 12-10, thought we'd be about 6-16, I'll take it. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Guess who's in sole posession of second place in the NL East???

NY Mets :wo :wo :wo

While it will more than likely be short lived...I'm enjoying it while I can. D

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

The Mets have done really well for themselves.
Especially when you consider that they haven't hit for a damn, and now with Dice-K, are on their fourth closer before May even starts.
Looking back, they were dreadful against the Nats, and I thought they would be done by June.
But this is baseball. Things always even out over 162 games.
The Mets will still be done, I'll just have to wait until the All Star break to see it. :D

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Can't argue with any of this Dom. I have been pleasantly surprised so far...but for how long?

Tied for the worst batting average in the NL, closer by "who's healthy?", Wright hasn't hit the ball, 1B is a BLACK HOLE for us, Tejada WON'T hit, outfield is hitting a combined below the mendoza line, and Granderson is playing like stir-fried dog sh*t (at least offensively).

On a bright note...Murphy continues to hit, LaGares was tearing it up before he went on the DL, bullpen has been surprisingly ok (we know this will come crashing down) and I believe Collins has done a bang up job so far.

Bottom line: I'm enjoying this while I can.

And another thing...we're not getting suspended for wearing pine-tar. :r :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

I think pine tar is used as perfume in the Dominican Republic.
Only reason I can come up with for putting it on his neck! :confused:

:r:r

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Woohoo for second place! :noon:noon:noon

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets score two in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Marlins, 4-3. Granderson has the game winning single. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets give one away this evening to the Marlins, 7-6 in 10 innings. Up 5-1 and Mejia gives up 5 runs in the 6th. Salty hits a HR off Farnsworth in the 10th.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets take the series by shutting out the Marlins this afternoon, 4-0. Gee pitches eight strong innings.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Nats lose and we're back in second place. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets have been looking pretty decent. I hope it continues.

Re: New York Mets 2014 Season Banter!!
 

Mets beat the Phillies, 6-1. Still in second place. :wo :wo

All this without Wright hitting the ball.
