Mets hang on to salvage a win in the series and beat the Blue Jays this afternoon, 6-5.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

3.5 games out after a crap weekend of baseball isn't all that bad.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Terrific outfield communication. Just watched the third error of the night. Glad I just got tickets for June 1 and June 4.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets blow a 4-0 lead and lose 5-4 to the Pirates. Phillies lost as well, so we manage to stay out of the cellar for one more night.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Can't believe Ken didn't pop in here yet, sorry Mac.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I'm sure he'll be in here in no time to bust my balls. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Pirates only win about a dozen games a year, I think he should take advantage of this one :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets beat the Pirates this afternoon, 3-1. Neise looked really good...going 7 2/3 strong innings.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Nice win for the Good Guys. Neise pitched a decent game. Not really sure why he was pulled. He should have finished the inning.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets getting pounded by the Padres...come on man!! Good news is the Marlins lost and the Braves as well.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Never should have left the rookie in after an hour long rain delay.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Geee goes 7 strong innings and the Mets beat the Padres 6-1.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Oliva O, ice cold Coca-Cola and the Mets on the radio. :) Good afternoon ahead.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Sounds like a damn fine afternoon to me Jonathan. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Three run homer, gettin' better by the minute!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

:wo :wo And another solo shot by Rottino!!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Well now that game was a hoot! :D

Complete game shutout for the pitcher, nice win for the Mets. :tu

I see a celebration cigar in my near future.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Santana pitched a gem (first complete game for the Mets this season) and light hitting Nickeas hits his first HR (a grand slam) of the year as the Mets beat the Padres, 9-0. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Diggin' these wins. I'm on a picnic with my wife and smoking cigars. Listening to another Mets win was icing on the cake.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Another win over the Padres, 2-0, as Dickey pitches 7 1/3 strong innings. Sole possession of 2nd place. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Way to go Acosta...Mets and Phillies neck and neck going into the night...and he gives up 3 runs as the Mets lose 8-4...but still in 2nd place. Turner twists his ankles in the third inning and Wright has to move to SS. Oh boy...here we go again!! :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

pssst....Mac.....don't look behind you.....

Gotta hand it to the Mets....2 months and no free fall....


Yet!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

And with the rookie Heffner going for us tonight...not looking good. He's gotten lit up his past two starts.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets beat the Phillies, 6-3...with Heffner picking up his first MLB win and HR. Still in second place and only a game and a half back. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

WTF!!!...kid goes yard on Blanton!!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

So what is it with the SS position for the Mets? I'd think Reyes put a curse on it, save that he himself was always injured too! Seems the best way to get on the DL in the majors is to play @ 6 for the Metropolitans.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets bullpen gives up a six spot in the top of the ninth...and we lose to the Phillies 10-6.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Heading to the game tomorrow...at least I get to see Santana pitch.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Take some pics Kevin. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mac, have you been to Citifield yet? If you haven't I'll try to take some pics around the park.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Yes, went last year with Dom and BigAsh...had a blast...even though we got beat. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Alright, you'll be stuck with pics of my family and very far away shots of Mets. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Expect lots of big Irish noggins

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Cool!! :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Tell you what Thomas, they keep getting hurt, but they don't seem to be missing a beat.
Me and Mac talked opening day, we both agreed they had no depth.
They call up the kid at SS, he goes 3-4.
Hefner takes the ball, earns a win and hits a HR
Mets have done an amazing (pun intended ;) ) job this year.
Especially since they're playing a 3rd string catcher, 4th string SS, and God knows what string in the OF.
Wonder if all these players they keep calling up who are producing is enough for Mac to finally admit Omar wasn't that bad? :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Smoke and mirrors Dom, smoke and mirrors.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

F*&% Omar!!!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Omar or not, maybe one's position in the MLB Draft is more important than we thought.

Guess there's some advantage to being an also-ran for a decade or so. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Santana pitches the first no hitter in Mets history, beating the Cardinals 8-0. :wo :wo

I'm STOKED right now!!! :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Santana! That was an awesome game!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Congrats to Santana and the Mets.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Awesome performance by Santana....Oye Como Va!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Great game, once again Congrats!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mac - If you hadn't asked me to take pics I probably wouldn't have taken so many. We were in the Pepsi Porch area. It was unbelievable being there. Last thing's first. Here's the scoreboard at the end.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

How could I not root for this team again.. Dude throws the first no-no on my birthday.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Starting from the left: my brother Chris, me, my brother Mike, my Dad and our good luck charm Eddie all the way from County Longford, Ireland. It was Eddie's first baseball game and he could not understand the magnitude of it.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Crappy long distance pic, but here's Santana warming up before first pitch:

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

This has to be in the 8th inning. My buddy, Kevin, and I (also Kevin in the foreground) finally believing the first Mets no-hitter was in sight. SOrry for the extreme close up of my enormous noggin.

9th inning....my bros and Kev going crazy
