Opening Day Mets vs. Florida
Posted by admin in CitiField, David Wright, Florida Marlins, Fuck the Yankees, Johan Santana, New York Mets, Opening Day, Philadelphia Phillies, Predictions on April 5th, 2010
Mets win, the Mets win! The sensational (not yet) Mets are 1-0 and like usual we dominate on opening day. Against a pitcher in the Marlin’s Josh Johnson, who normally owns us (now 7-1), the Mets looked impressive in front of a sold out CitiField.
Newcomers played well and David Wright went yard, hopefully both of which are signs of good things to come.
Johan Santana is looking like the Cy Young Award candidate that we predicted he would win, he will win, this year. With run support, 7 runs, Johan Santana could be the best pitcher in baseball. He has the advantage of pitching at CitiField, which is where home run hitters become sacrifice-fly hitters.
Yankees blew there opener against the Red Sox. Mets are 1-0 and the Yankees are 0-1. That feels good. Yankees victory last season over the Phillies earned them some love from Mets fans, because as much as we love saying Fuck the Yankees we would much rather them winning over those Phillies. Most Mets fans dislike our division rival much more significantly than even the depths of hatred we show towards the Yankees.
Mets Mets Official 2010 Baseball Season Predictions:
Mets win the division!
Johan wins the Cy Young
Wright finishes in the top 3 for MVP voting.

Rx
John Maine Pitched Awesome. Then he Threw Up.
Rx
The bug that made Carlos Beltran sick has inflicted the pitching staff.
Rx
We are totally fucked if this bug makes it way to the bat boys.
Rx
Angel Pagan had an RBI double. Then he got hurt.
Rx
Figures the replacement for an injured Beltran gets himself injured.
Rx
Yet, we had an AMAZING MAY! We just won another series, had a great homestand, and finished with an 18-8 record this month. A little heart wouldn’t you say Omar Minaya?
Rx
Nothing cures the ills like a little 7 game road trip and some of your mom’s homemade chicken noodle soup.
Fernando Martinez Makes an Impact; Tim Redding gets Impacted
Posted by Señor Met in Florida Marlins on May 30th, 2009
The pride of our minor league system, Fernando Martinez, got his first career hit and RBI. However, it was way short of enough to beat the Florida Marlins.
That is because Tim Redding was getting lit up like he did in his last start, sort of like firecrackers on the 4th of July.
I guess Jerry Manuel figured Josh Johnson was going to be tough to beat at home with Tim Redding on the mound for the Mets, so he sat out most of our non-injured stars. And the one premier bat in the lineup, the early season MVP candidate Carlos Beltran’s, left mid-game because of a stomach virus.
Let’s put this ugly loss behind us and get started on another little winning streak ASAP.
Oh My Omir
Posted by Señor Met in Florida Marlins on May 30th, 2009
Omir Santos.
Gotta like this guy.
A Home Run to tie the game. A walk off base hit in the 11th inning. Lots of humble sound bites.
Brian Schnieder’s injury gave Omir a small opportunity to showcase his talents. A grand slam and two game winning walk off hits in a month is called a showcase.
And that showcase was more then enough to showdown with when it came time for Brian to return.
Hit the road Ramon Castro. You are now the odd man out of the catching picture. Thank you for your contributions, best of luck to you.
Some pundits would say that Omir Santos is a bit of an unknown, and when the intel of how to pitch to him becomes better then he won’t be putting on a one man highlight reel any longer. To them pundits, I say STFU you jealous naysayers. This kid is the real deal Holyfield, and he is gonna be knocking them out of NL parks for a long time in a Mets jersey.
By the way, Florida has fallen off of the Earth. They have lost 6,488,741,318 of their last 6,488,917,941 games.
If Only the Whole Team was Made-Up of Johans
Posted by Señor Met in Florida Marlins on April 29th, 2009
If the entire team had the “IT” that Johan Santana has, then we could be talking about an undefeated season. That is right, an undefeated season. Because Johan brings IT day in and day out.
I wish I could say that about anybody else right now.
Instead, another great pitching performance is wasted because of the “it” that has plagued the Mets all season.
Gross negligence at the plate. 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position. 14 stranded base runners.
The Mets had a chance yesterday and today to keep the Marlins reeling. Instead, the Marlins escape NY feeling great about themselves. Another come from behind victory, this one 4-3, in which the Marlins again took advantage of the Mets supposed strength – our bullpen.
We had better do something, because this had better not be it!?!
They Are Who We Thought They Were

And We Let Them Off The Hook.
De Ja Vu All Over Again in the Mets Bullpen as the Marlins come from behind late to win 7-4.
This just sucked. I feel sick to my stomach.
From Unknown to Well Known with One Swing of the Bat
Posted by Señor Met in CitiField, Florida Marlins on April 28th, 2009
Omir Santos stepped to the plate with the bases loaded in the first inning…
Mets fans were saying to themselves “Who is this guy?”
After Santos swung the bat…
Mets fans were saying to themselves “Where has this guy been?”
Omir Santos Grand Slam at Citi Field AP Photo
Omir Santos hit his first career grand slam, hell, it was his first career home run and his first career RBIs.
Filling in for injured catcher Brian Schneider, Santos made the most of his opportunity by hitting CitiField’s first ever grand slam that kept the Florida Marlins reeling for their seventh straight loss.
After the game, reliever J.J. Putz gave Santos a little welcome to the team moment. While Santos was being interviewed on the field, Putz gave him a shaving cream facial.
Santos wasn’t the only one to shine tonight as the Mets starting pitching was also great. John Maine delivered a one hit 6 inning performance and the Mets won 7-1.
For one day, the stars were aligned over New York. Both clutch hitting and impressive starting pitching. Maybe all it took was an unknown.
Johan Finds No Runs in His Easter Basket
Posted by Señor Met in Florida Marlins on April 12th, 2009
Easter Day should be a day off. At least that is what the lineup thought. Factor in its Johan pitching so we only need a couple runs anyway. For that you get a 2-1 loss to the Rotten Fish.
Enough already, score some runs for Johan please, this guy is in the prime of his career. Johan should win the Cy Young Award unaminously this year while winning 25 or more games.
TRIVIA? Who was the Mets last 20 game winner. First to leave correct answer in comment section wins!
Thief Bernie Madoff opening day at CitiField tickets were ebayed for for $7,500 today. I hope the person who won the auction gives the tickets to some kids whose parents were fucked over by the only Cheater worse then A-Rod.

Cuba 300 Heart
Posted by Señor Met in Florida Marlins on April 11th, 2009
What do they all mean? Well these are the three things I learned today during the Mets drubbing of the Florida Marlins.
1) Cuba. With Obama in the White House easing up some of the restrictions with Cuba, Livan Hernandez can now freely travel to his homeland. This probably makes him happy. A happy Livan could be a CY Young candidate. Why Not? He has been a consistent 50% win 50% loss pitcher the last few years, and that was without the run support the Mets produce.
2) 300. The Mets have never been a team with hitters who bat over 300. Look at the records, only David Wright and John Olerud have ever hit over .300 in their career as a Met. This is all about to change. The fast start has 6 starters over 300. Hot hitting is contagious and with this talented lineup there are always gonna be hot hitters around. I would not be surprised if 5 or 6 Mets finish over 300.
Mets Batting Average
3) Heart. This team has Heart. When you have the right group of players, special things happen. When the Face of the Franchise wears his Heart on his sleeve, it makes cheering for him so much more.
Ask Yankee fans how they feel cheering for A-Rod. They know he is nothing more then a cheater. They can only root for him as a means to score another run. There is no love there.
With David it is different. We love him. We will always cheer him even if he never gets another hit, because he plays the game for all of the right reasons.
He plays with heart.
David Wright
14 Runners Left on Base
Posted by Señor Met in Florida Marlins on April 11th, 2009
Mets lose to the Florida Marlins 5-4.
The good news is that the Mets (2-2) had plenty of opportunities considering they left at least one runner on base every inning. Alarming is the lack of clutch hitting.
Marlins are 4-0. Phillies (1-2) got lit up by Colorado and Atlanta (2-1) beat the perpetual doormat of the NL east.
The Mets need to win the series against the Marlins to bring them back down to Earth before they get on one of those silly 20 game win streak and screws up the division. Sunday is in the bag with Johan going, so hopefully Livan can bring back that magic he had when he broke out in the world series a decade ago and get us a win on Saturday. Livan Hernandez started his career pitching for the Marlins in 1996, the Mets are the eighth team in his career. Livan, please have one more great year left in the tank.
