New York Mets 2012 Banter

[kelmac07]

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.

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!

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

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

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

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.

[Dave128]

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!

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

[kelmac07]

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

[Dave128]

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.

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

[kelmac07]

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

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

[Blak Smyth]

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