he's got a way with words!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets win again! This is Amazin'!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Still in first place...and with a two game lead (enjoying this while I can). Mets come back from 3-0 to beat the Nationals 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth. Pelfrey looks like sh#t early (what else is new), at least he didn't get the win. Nieuwenhuis hits his first ML HR. Wright and Murphy continue to hit the ball. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I'll be at Phillies/Mets this Friday Mac....good times!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I think my B-I-L, a rabid Yankee fan, also has tickets to that game.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Wish I was going with ya brother. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

4-0 start, I wonder if Chris is back rooting for the team?

You're such a schadenfreude! ;)

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

And we come back down to earth, losing to the Nats 6-2. Gee gave up way too many hits and Duda and Murphy looked HORRIBLE!! Both stunk on defense and stared at good pitches and swung at bad ones at the plate. Good news is that we are still in first place...for today. :D

Oh and now Wright has a fractured right pinkie. Here we go. I can't watch Cedeno play third. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I never would have thought the DL Monster would strike this early on.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

No stroke for Mac, as the Mets lose to the Nats again today! :D
Don't look now, but the Mets are only one game above 500 and making their decent into the basement of the NL East.
Told you it was only a matter of time! :noon

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Santana looked good though...and we are still in first place (tie) for one more day. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Nice win over the Phillies. The team looked good tonight. Dickey had a nice outing.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Dickey looked really good...and we only had 6 hits. Great series opener against the Phillies and guess what?.............

Back in first place. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Nats won last night...back in second place. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets shutout the Phillies, 5-0. for the win. Neise looks good and Wright continues to rake!! :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Awesome game! Wright smacked a monster HR on the first pitch he saw in three days!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

And the bullpen rears its ugly head in the bottom of the seventh and eight innings today...as the Phillies break open a 2-2 game with 6 runs. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Yup..pelfrey did a nice job through six. Then the bullpen did what it does best.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets beat the Braves 6-1...Gee looked AWESOME!! :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Not a Mets fan at all here, but I went with a few of the guys in my fantasy draft. Wright, Johan, Dan Murphy and Ike Davis in backup roles. They've done well so far and I wish them all continued success. As a Twins fan it's good to Johan get some good innings under his belt with solid K #'s. Hoping he picks up his first W tomorrow.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Was all set to pop in here and say what a nice job the Mets have done so far this season.
Then I heard they are going to honor Jose Reyes when he returns to Citi field.
Honor him for what? A NLCS game 7 loss and two historic collapses?
Maybe they want to honor him for leaving and heading to a division rival?
Apparently now the Mets are backtracking a bit, saying it will only be a video tribute.
If they had any guts, they would string together a montage of him grabbing his hammy while running the bases, and taking himself out of last seasons finale.

Only the Mets! :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

WTF??? Honor him for what??? I'm with ya on this one Dom. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Santana gets ROCKED and Davis was playing "throw another quarter in the merry-go-round" as the Braves hammered my Mets 9-3.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Video trib of Reyes, to the soundtrack of M.C. Hammer's "Its Hammy Time"...:r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets get raked in a slugfest against the Braves, 14-6. There's the Mets I was expecting. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Bullpen has been showing their true colors the past couple games.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

And so the decline begins...after fighting to come back against the Giants adfter being down 3-1, the Mets can't get a hit with RISP and lose 4-3 in 10 innings. :bh :bh

On another note...Beltran is raking with the Cardinals. POS!!!!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets tried to give one away today. :bh Up 4-1 in the top of the ninth and let the Giants tie it up. But we scored one in the bottom of the night to pull out the W. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

No other games on so I caught the end of this. I don't care what they say, errors make for entertaining baseball. Good job Mets!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Lincecum decides to wake up agains the Mets, as we go down 6-1 in the first game of the DH. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Second game isn't looking any better, so far...

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Not at all Dave...Gee is getting rocked. Looks like we'll be 8-8 after tonight. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

The injury bug is back!
In the last two Days the Mets have placed, Cedeno, Bay and now Pelfrey on the DL.
Bay's injury (broken rib) isn't as serious as it sounds, but it looks like Pelf is done for the season.
These are brutal injuries for a team that started the season with no depth.
Mac get your glove, Sandy should be calling soon :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Cedeno and Bay isn't a big sting...Cedeno is a punching judy with a weak glove and Bay hasn't done anything since arriving to NY. Everyone knows how I feel about Pelfrey...glad he's out of the rotation.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets spoil Reyes's "welcome back to NY" party with a 2-1 victory...and he goes 0-4. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Nice win for Santana last night. He looked really good. I'm not too upset about Pelfrey or Cedano, but I think Bay has some potential. That was one hell of a face plant he did, BTW! Bay has been hurt more than not since arriving in NY. He needs to get and stay healthy. I think he could be good for the team. His bat has been historically above par for the majority of his career. Although, there must've been something wrong with him for the Sox to kick him to the curb!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Santana didn't get the win last night.
As a matter of fact, the Mets have yet to score a run with him on the mound.
Hard to win games with zero support.
As for Bay, I think the majority of his injuries have come from playing hard.
It's easy to see he gives 100% when he's in the feild, regardless of how he's doing at the plate.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

My bad. Santana officially had a ND. The team won the game because of his outstanding performance. Based on that, and IMHO, he should get the "W". It's not his fault the team can't score. As for Bay, I can agree with your statement.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Bay may give 100% and play very hard (it's not like he's known for his defense), but he is just like Beltran. In that he signed a HUGE contract and has yet to produce in New York. Beltran had a few "decent" years, but nothing like his days in KC or his playoff performance in Houston. He just never panned out in NY. Bay has yet to hit for the power he had in Boston.

And in 18 innings, the Mets offense has provided Santana ZERO run support...ZERO!!! What do you expect from a AA line-up?? :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets beat the Marlins tonight, 5-1...Dickey looked real good. Wright becomes the Mets all time RBI leader. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Damn fine come from behind, walk off win beating the Marlins 3-2 this afternoon.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Heath Bell was terrible...walked 4 in a row. Mets were fortunate today.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Three in a row is three in a row no matter how ugly!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

That's like saying "I'm the smartest member of the VCM"
Is it really that big of a deal? :D

;s

Nice job with the sweep.
The Mets seem to be a very streaky team thus far.
Red hot or ice cold.
They will need to be more consistent if they want to hang around for a wild card. :2

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets were up against the Rockies 6-2...I come back and check the score an inning later... and we are down 10-6. Fricking bullpen!!! :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets Give up an 11 spot in the 5th and make 6 errors in the game!

OUCH!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

An a$$-whooping was laid on us by the Rockies last night...18-9. 5 errors and the bullpen gave up 12 runs...OUCH!!! A few good notes, Hairston hit for the cycle and Thole extended his hitting streak.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets bullpen strikes again...blow another superb performance by Santana. Giving up a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the eight by allowing Helton to hit a grand slam. But the Mets pulled it out in the 11th and won 6-5 to take the series. :tu :tu

At 13-9 and one game out of first place...way better than what I expected...so far. Hello, I thought we'd be 3-19. :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

That was a frustrating game to watch.
