It's gonna be a long year.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Indeed.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets hand Strasburg his third loss of the spring and Gee looks good going 5.2 innings of shutout ball. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets drop one today to the Cardinals 2-1, Santana only gave up one run in 6 innings. Much better outing. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets beat the Astros today 8-2, Dickey went 6.1 strong innings...only giving up one run. Still have the worst spring training record in the bigs. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Santana, Dickey and Gee are looking pretty decent. Just need Pelfrey to get up to speed.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Pelfry needs to go...I don't care if he throws a no-hitter in his next outing. He will meltdown in the 5th or 6th inning of each of his starts...just like he's done his whole career. MOVE HIM TO THE BULLPEN!!!!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

....so he can meltdown in the 7th or 8th?


:D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Pelfrey gives up 4 earned runs in 6 innings today...as we tied the Cardinals 6-6 in 10 innings. Why the f*&#l is he still pitching for us?????? :bh :bh
We gave up on Oliver Perez a lot quicker than this. :confused: :confused:

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Good news (??) is that the Mets got their A$$ handed to them by the Nats 12-0 without any help from Pelfrey! I almost think I'd rather have Bad Ollie over Pelfrey any day.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Good news...Wright played today and went 1-2 and singled in his first at bat. He also made a fine diving play. And we won against the Cards, 6-3. Santana looked ok today. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

There's hope yet!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets drop one, 7-5, to the Braves this afternoon. :td

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I saw most of the game. Who the hell are these guys? I don't recognize 90% of them. I know most aren't going to be on the opening day roster, but come on. Shouldn't they be using starters by now?

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

We drop other one to the Nats today 3-2...we haven't beaten them yet in spring training. WTF??? One a good note...Duda is hitting the ball real well. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets finally beat the Astros, 9-1 today. Wright hits a grand slam and Pelfrey pitches 6 inninges and only gives up one run...he still needs to go!! :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

He's way too unpredictable.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets drop one to the Cards today, 4-3. Drops us to 7-17 in spring training. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets drop one 6-5 today to the Marlins.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Tigers beat down the Mets 9-2 yet again...and we get a whopping 2 hits. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets beat the Braves today 8-2 with a hodge podge rotation. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Could be good karma going into opening day Thursday!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

just curious....how is the Kool-aid? :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Darn tastey!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

ESPN gave their NL predictions this evening on Sportcenter...the win the NL East...anyone but the Mets. :bh :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets beat the Yankess today 7-6!!I don't care if it's spring training or not...we beat the Yankees!! :tu :tu

(and with sorry a$$ Pelfrey on the mound) :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Any win against the Yankees is a good day!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Really? :confused:
The only starters who played were Gardner and Swisher.
The 7 & 9 batters in the lineup!
C'mon Mac, you're killing me!
I know you need to find a silver lining this year, but Jeez that's reaching.
You infuriate me sometimes! :fl
I just want to grab you, and shake you, while I scream obscenities at you!
I need something to calm me down!

That's better! :D :noon

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Nova gave up 5 ER in 2.2 innings...oh, now he isn't a regular? And we had sorry a$$ Pelfrey on the mound. I don't give a damn if Cashman played SS and the batboy hit cleanup yesterday...the Mets beat the Yankees. You, by now, surely have realized how much I despise the Yankees. It's the uniform we beat and I'll take it anyway I can get it.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mac, you can have the spring training victory if it helps you sleep at night.
I was only looking for an excuse to post that picture before opening day, anyway! :D

Me and Keith have a bet.
I say you'll be rooting for the Nats by May, he says you can hold out til' July.
Either way, we're chipping in for a Ryan Zimmerman Jersey for ya. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

We were up 3-1 against the Yankees this afternoon in the bottom of the 7th...and in comes the bullpen. Now we are down 8-3. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Final: 8-3. The bullpen strikes again. Tomorrow starts what is sure to be a very long Mets season.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Let me say this now (because I won't be able to say it the rest of the year)...

WE ARE IN FIRST PLACE!!! :D :D :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I think this is the first season ever that I haven't been excited about opening day. On the bright side, Reyes and the Marlins got beat yesterday in their brand new house!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

All we need is another 161 starts from Santana and we'll be fine.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Woot woot!....I'm on the bandwagon brother.....




....for the shortest ride in bandwagon history....:r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Congratulations to the Mets for beginning the season in first place . . . and the Rod Sux for starting in the cellar.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

First place for two more days...as we don't play tomorrrow. :wo :wo

And I received a congratulatory call from Dom. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Our ONLY off season acquisition, Andres Torres, is going on the DL after straining a calf chasing a ball on opening day. Looked like he "played" hurt after he couldn't get to it. Mets call up Nieuwenhuis to play center. Really??? After one game?? As far as I am concerned, Torres can stay on the DL.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Guess what?


The Mets are still in first place!! :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Still in first place...Mets are 2-0 with a 4-2 victory over the Braves today. First series win of the season. Duda hits 2HRs and Wright hits a HR and goes 3-5. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I read a headline that said, "The Duda Abides." A chuckle for any Big Lebowski fan.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I'm still on the bandwagon Mac....:tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

wow, great start, enjoy it while we can

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Still in first place...Mets are 3-0 with a 7-5 victory over the Braves today. First series sweep of the season (as I'm sure there won't be many). Enjoying this while I can. :D :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Sole possession of first place in the NL East. I'm savoring this moment. :D :D

Hey Dom...the Yankees are what??? 0-3? :r :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Can't believe it. Just can't.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I see how it is...we aren't gonna see Keith, Dom, or Thomas in the thread until things take a turn south. :r :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

No worries brother....soon enough...I'm showing compassion and letting you soak in the moment....:r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Didn't I call you opening day?
Do you expect me to shove my hands down your pants and give you a stroke every time the Mets win?
It's only 3 games, let's not act like the Mets are now favorites in the east.
Enjoy your turn in the sun, it's only a matter of time! :D
