Santana is way better than his record shows so far. The Mets have lost every game that man has pitched. He is pitching lights out this season.

boy, sure is, fun couple of games, glad to leave that place though. Never felt as if it was enough runs...ever!

Astros had our number in spring training...so the trend continues as they beat us 4-3 last night. :bh

Neise is getting lit up by the Astros, 5-0, in the 2nd inning!!! :bh :bh :bh

Looked like they had a chance to pull this one out. Good news is that the entire division is losing a ton of games. We aren't losing any ground in the standings!

Astros whoop us again today, 8-1. :bh :bh :bh

Funny I was at work on monday and got asked if I regretted my decision not to follow this season. I said no, watch they will get swept by the Astros. good call on my part on both ends. I still feel for you guys though.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 
Bullpen "holds onto" one and the Mets beat the D-Backs 4-3. Finally ending the 4 game losing streak and giving Santana the win. The Mets score 4 runs for Santana...the same amount they gave him in his pevious 5 starts.

kelmac07 05-06-2012 05:11 PM

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 
Mets beat the D-Backs today 3-1 and Dickey gets another win. Still over .500 and it's early May. Surprising the hell outta me. Especially since the bullpen has 5 blown saves and is 26th in ERA in the majors. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 
I, too, have been pleasantly surprised so far this season. I was fully expected them to not be able to fight their way out of a wet paper bag all season.

As a side note: I noticed this morning that the Mets are currently sitting in third place and they have the same record as the Yankees (who, by the way, are FOURTH place in their division!).

kelmac07 05-07-2012 08:13 PM

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 
Mets down 2-0 against Halladay and Wright hits a big 2 run double to tie it. Then rookie Jordany Valdespin (0-6 is his short career) hits a 3 run HR against Papelbon and the Mets win 5-2. :wo :wo

Awesome comeback win for the Mets! Wright comes through once again and pinch-hit HRs are fun to watch!

If the season ended in May, and was only 30 games long, this would be a Valid point! :tu
Unfortunately for you, the Yanks still have 130+ games to play.
Also unfortunate, so do the Mets! :D

Touche!! I said from the beginning of the season...if we finished in 4th place or higher in the NL East...I would be happy. That still stands true. We were picked to be 5th in EVERYONES pre season standings.

Not seeing any reason for Met Bragging.
They always seem to start hot and fall apart.
While for the most part, the Yanks start cold and finish strong.


Here are the Mets standings on May 8th for the last 6 years

Year ........ W - L........ GB ........ Playoffs
2007........ 20-12........ - ........ No
2008........ 17-15 ........ 2 ........ No
2009........ 15-13 ........ .5 ........ No
2010........ 17-13 ........ 1 ........ No
2011........ 15-19 ........ 4.5 ........ No
2012........ 16-13 ........ 2.5 ........ ?

And the Yanks

Year ........ W - L ........ GB ........ Playoffs
2007 ........ 15-16 ........ 6 ........ Yes
2008 ........ 18-18 ........ 4.5........ NO
2009 ........ 14-15 ........ 4.5 ........ Yes* World series win
2010 ........ 21-08 ........ .5 ........ Yes
2011 ........ 19-13 ........ - ........ Yes
2012 ........ 15-13 ........ 3.5 ........ ?

As a Yank fan, I see no reason to panic. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 
Typical Yankee fan trying to justify a piss poor start to the season. Mets fans, however, don't need any justification for the same. We're just happy to not be sitting at the bottom of our division! :D

Mets bounce back and beat the Marlins 9-3 this afternoon. Dickey looked good on the mound and Wright went 4-6 with a HR to increase his BA to .402. :tu :tu

Mets get skull drug by the Brewers 8-0. Geel continues to loko like stir fried dog crap. Collins pulls a "I'm a punk" by removing Wright after the Mets hit Braun. I like that Wright fought the move...but Collins is still a punk.

Mets Expected to Land 2013 All-Star Game!!

Commissioner Bud Selig will join Mets owner Fred Wilpon and New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg at New York's City Hall to make a major announcement Wednesday, expected to be that the Mets and Citi Field will host the 2013 MLB All-Star Game.

Numerous news organizations have reported the announcement is to unveil Citi Field as the site of the 2013 event, but MLB and Mets officials have declined comment beyond asking that media representatives wait for Wednesday's 11:30 a.m. ET news conference.

If that indeed is the case, 2013 will mark the first time the Mets have hosted the Midsummer Classic since 1964, ending the longest drought for current franchises. The second-longest is set to end this summer with Kansas City hosting the All-Star Game for the first time since '73.

"It will be a tremendous stage for a Midsummer Classic," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "It will be held in one of the nicest ballparks in the country."

Between the Mets and Yankees, the city of New York has hosted eight All-Star games in total, more than any other Major League city. Chicago is second on that list with seven. The Yankees hosted the 2008 All-Star Game in the last season played at old Yankee Stadium.

"It's great for the city," Mets third baseman David Wright said. "I got a chance to participate in the one that closed out Yankee Stadium. What a tremendous stage for an All-Star Game. I think it's deservedly so, and we'll get a chance for the world to see the stadium, see the new place. We'll kind of show it off a little bit."
