New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

After much deliberation...I had to start this thread. Any other Mets fan out there? No comments from you Evil Empire folks (especially you Ryan :D).

The last few years have been rough for us. You gotta believe this year is gonna turn out better...but with no major off-season pitching acquisitions...we'll see. Santana cannot do it by himself. Time for Perez to start paying dividends on that $ 36 million contract...seeing that he has two years left.

Go Mets!!

<<<<<<<<< grew up a Mets fan


Still root for them, but really, I'm fully ensconced in Red Sox Nation

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I will be rooting for the Mets to win the NL.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mac....a METS thread?!?....Like fishin' in a bathtub....this is TOO EASY....:r:r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I can't believe it took you three days to post in here Keith. :r :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

.hahaha.....really, I'm slipping!...too busy shoveling snow Mac!.....

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Better you than me brother!!! Pitchers and catchers reported today. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

.....ahhhh yea...the smell is in the air!

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

A banter thread not in the banter forum? Very tricky indeed Mets fans :hm

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mets sign Rod Barajas to a one year deal. Another aging veteran. Haven't we learned our lesson?? At least it wasn't a multi-year deal. :D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I'm dying on the vine here with you kelmac. The good thing....no expectations this year. Should be fun.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Phils ditched him a couple years ago....:tu

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

See what I am talking about Keith??? Another aging veteran. :td :td

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

The smell? You downwind of the Mets bullpen there, brother? :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Alright Thomas...:r :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mac......Thomas and I are just trying to keep this thread going....you know for pure "entertainment" sake....:r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Right on, Keith. Hey, Mac knows we love him . . . that's why we pick!

To be serious, I think that if Reyes, Wright, and Bey can produce the way they are capable of doing, and Beltran comes back quickly and positively too, the Metropolitans should have enough offense to compete at the plate. But whereas most teams worry about a reliable 4th or 5th starter, Mac's team has to worry about everyone but Santana . . . and with his injury last season, he's not a given either.

Sorry, my friend, but that's just the way I sees it. But still, :gl

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I wholeheartedly agree...Santana is fine (knock on wood). It is 2-5 that I am worried about. :D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

No other Mets fans out there???? :confused:

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

What, no Ollie Perez love?.....we love him here....:r.....Gotta look at it this way Mac, it CAN'T be any worse than last year....Hell, even I felt sorry for the Mets after Wright got plunked....

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

If Perez can get his head right...maybe he'd pay some dividends on that 3 year $ 36 million contract. :td What the hell was Minaya thinking??

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Maybe he's thinking he has too many players who speak English. :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

:r:r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Can't believe there aren't more Mets fans out there. :confused:

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

The Mets signed reliever Kiko Calero to a Minor League contract with an invitation to spring training...can't hurt the bullpen. And David Wright went yard in his first at bat of the spring...good sign!! Jose Reyes will see his first action tomorrow, against the Marlins. :tu I still like Reyes leading off...they want to tinker with him in the 3 hole. :confused:

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mac....you seem to be talking to yourself again! :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mac....don't worry us Phillies fans are here for you buddy....

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Reyes to be tested for thyroid imbalance...WTF???? Held out another day. Keith & Joel...no comments from the peanut gallery. :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Well since you did not include me in the no comments I will have to jump in here Mac. :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I knew it was only a matter of time Ryan. :r :r

PS: Read the first post in this thread. :D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I have done my best to not even visit this thread for fear of saying the wrong thing. Last thing I want to do is screw up and find myself on the DL. That is if there is any room left on it from the Mets. :r














Sorry Mac.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I can only laugh Ryan. :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I fear that Bay will be injured by the All-Star game. That is a lot of grass for him to cover in LF especially with Carlos out to start the season.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mets beat the Nationals 6-5 today. Perez gives up 5 runs in 3 innings...thought thye fixed his head??? Santos looks good behind the plate this early.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Congrats on the Mets win. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mets beat the Marlins 11-2 today. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Wow! With wins now against the Nats and Marlins, it's obvious that the Mets have made a turnaround. Look out, National League!

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I'm enjoying the wins any way we can get them Thomas!!:D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

yep....on a roll....St. Mary's School for the Mentally Unbalanced up next.....:D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Perez might even be able to hold his own against them. :r :r :r Thanks Keith...I can always count on you to bust my balls when it comes to my Mets. :D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mac....What are friends for?....Happy to help my brother....happy to help....:D

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Some of the local sports hosts up here on WFAN - who are almost all Met fans - are psyched because they feel the team may play .500 ball this year. :tu


Hey, Mac, don't hate me - I just report the facts. :)

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Thomas...always keeping me on my toes. :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mets drop one to the Astros today 8-4. On a not to great note here is Santanas pitchuing line... 1.2 innings, 6 hits, 4 earned runs. On a positive note, David Wright his his second dinger of the spring. Here's to hoping he has that power back this year in spacious Citifield.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I don't pay any attention to pitching stats in Spring Training. Batters are always ahead of hurlers early. Now, if he does that come June, you can panic.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I don't know Mac...if I were to guess, at this point you are probably wishing you deliberated a little longer with as much Met fan support you're getting! :r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

I am getting quadruple teamed in here..Joel, Keith, Thomas, and Ryan!! where are my fellow Mets fans?? :confused:

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Queens.




And by that I mean location, not proclivity.
