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.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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.

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!).

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

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I just want to post to make sure you didn't think I was scared off, Mac... :D Thank goodness it's a Marathon!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I'm not seeing much room for the typical Yankee bragging so far this season.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Damn...I got nothing to say...nothing....WTF!!....so when stymied, always time for a Mets Joke:

Q: What's the difference between a Citi Field hotdog, and a Citizens Bank Park hotdog?
A: You can buy a Citizens Bank Park hotdog in October!

:noon:r:noon

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Keith and Joel in here on the same day? Must be a Phillies "damn we suck right now" kinda day. :r :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Funny....that was the headline on the Phila Daily News...:gary

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets down 4-0 to the Phillies last night...and fight back to win 7-4. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

The Mets have been fun to watch. They seem to be playing like they actually want to win. 10th come-from-behind win so far this season.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

So, a priest, a rabbi and a Met fan walk into a bar....:D

WTF!!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Just for Keith...Tuesday's victory was the Mets' 401th all time against the Phillies, their most against any Major League team. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Four hundred firshth...firth.... firstith...that's really hard to say!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Just for Mac....tis true my brother...tis true...but the 2 teams have played 860 times...do the math! :r....(Hell I did it for you....Mets have LOST to the Phillies 459 times :D)


And I'm going tonite....Cliff Lee gonna stop the slide!!:tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I wasn't showing that stat. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets SWEEP Phillies....."world gone crazy!!".....Phils bullpen blows dog....nuff said :td

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Say it again Keith...I love hearing them words come from your mouth. :D :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

WoooWhooooo stinking Phillies get swept. Is it evil to root for anybody who plays against the phillies (except SD, SF, AZ or the Angels)?

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets SWEEP the Phillies!...Figured with all the grief I've given you I'd toss you a bone :D...(plus you know I'll be bringing this up in October while you're playing MLB on PS3)

Hmmmmm....duly noted...a hater amongst us....with a small....traveldor...:D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets have the tables turned on them last night and get beat by the Marlins i the bottom of the 9th...6-5.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

The bullpen is up to its old tricks again as the Mets lose to the Marlins, 8-4.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

That was a tough game last night.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets only have three hits and somehow managed to beat the Brewers, 3-1. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

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."

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

One more reason for Wright to remain in a Mets uniform.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Possible FIRST SELL-OUT?!?...:r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

The bullpen strikes again and gives up 4 runs in the 8th as the Mets lose 6-3 to the Reds.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets to host 2013 All Star Game..:wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets come back from being down 4-0 to beat the Reds 9-4. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

That was an ugly game, Mac. Congrats on the win.:tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I wonder how hard it will be to get tickets?

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

A win is a win......

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets get the a$$ whooped by the Blue Jays, 14-5.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

As the slide continues...Mets shutout by the Blue Jays today, 2-0. And we're in the cellar. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Phillies lose so we area 1/2 game out of the cellar...at least for one more day.
