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.

Just thinking about Yankee fans rejoicing at beating us makes me queasy. For it to happen two days in a row.

I blame it all on Luis Castillo. This is all his fault. He dropped that popup and the Fucking Yankees got all the momentum.

Fuck The Yankees,

Señor Met

After a 15-0 embarrassment, I don’t even know what to say. I am speechless for the first time this season.

…

Fuck the Yankees

Found my tongue.

Seriously though, I am worried about Johan. He was pitching in the mid to high 90′s at the beginning of the season and he is not in the low 90′s. This is something we should be looking at. Johan Santana hasn’t been his normal lights out self his last few outtings, seemingly getting progressively worse during each of his last several starts.

And then the Worst Game of his entire career today giving up 9 runs and watching his ERA balloon to over 3.

I am worried.

All it would take to turn his fortune around would be to give it a try against the World’s most overpaid -- underachieving -- drug using -- mega stars on the planet, the New York Yankees.

Fuck the Yankees. Had to get that off my chest.

Anyway, Yankees looked like fools in their 6-2 loss to the Mets, with Omir Santos lighting them up. Even Gary Sheffield said remember when I used to jack up homers for you with a blast.

If we can win Sunday, we can forget about the Luis Castillo stupid stupid play yesterday. Actually, we will never forget that stupid stupid play.

Luis Castillo Dog House

Merry Fucking Christmas. Thanks to Luis Castillo.

If I had a dog house Luis Castillo would be front and center.

You don’t ever drop a bottom of the ninth, 2 out, tying and winning runs on, routine fly ball barely out of the infield against the team you absolutely hate the most.

I am naming the new metsmets.com doghouse for the totally inept at the worst possible moment Mets player, the Luis Castillo Dog House.

Fuck the Yankees.

We could’ve -- should’ve -- and would’ve won that high scoring, wild game against our bitter rivals in Yankee Stadium if, and only if, the only inhabitant of the Luis Castillo Dog House caught a routine, lazy fly-ball that any little leaguer over the age of 8 would’ve made any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

If I remember correctly, in Little League your coach told you 5 zillion times to use two hands to catch a popup.

Yes, Luis Castillo, you still have to play the game the same way you did when you were in little league.

USE 2 FUCKING HANDS

Oliver Perez continues to throw junk. In 19 1/3 innings he has given up 15 walks and 23 hits. Wish I could get paid $12 million to throw meatballs.

Thank You 40,000 plus CitiFans for booing the shit out of him.

I have more faith in David Wright. But hopefully the 40,000 plus CitiFans booing the shit out of him can get him to return to his full potential. And David, I don’t mean trying to break your career best 118 strikeout mark that you set last year. Wiffing 23 times so far, in only 70 at-bats, sure seems like your primed to break your record by the all-star break.

I would think 40,000 plus CitiFans would agree on a few things.

1. This team needs better starting pitching.
2. This team needs better clutch hitting.
3. This team needs to never lose to the Nationals.

At least the Red Sox said Fuck The Yankees this week and swept them.

The Nationals are real bad.

The Phillies have a really good addition in Raul Ibanez.

The Braves are simply not that interesting

The Mets are really inconsistent.

and The Yankees gave up 14 runs in one inning.

Also…

Johan Santana could be the starting pitcher in 4 straight games in a World Series and let up 0 runs.

Yankees Wang is 0-3 with an ERA of 34.50.

Livan Hernandez is fierce.

The new Yankee Stadium gave up 20 home runs in its first four games. The previous record for a new stadium was Oakland’s 16.

Statistically the Mets offense is supposed to be scoring a lot more given all of their scoring opportunities.

btw Mets back at .500 after offense sputters again in loss to Brewers

I had to stop it.

I began a full fledge effort to jinx the No Hitter. First I tried calling everyone on my cell to tell them about it, but Burnett got through the sixth still without letting up a hit. I was desperate, the Mets have never had a No No and I wasn’t about to stand around and watch those cheaters across town celebrate another. I raced to Times Square where I screamed at the top of my lungs the Yankees were about to throw a no hitter!

It worked, Burnett let up a single to start off the 7th. Danger adverted.

Yankees Suck

I know how frustrated it must be for the Yankees Brass to be unable to throw all their money at the most ‘roided guys like they did during the late 90′s.

I was thinking to myself what I would do with 1/2 billion dollars when Hank answered so I wasn’t sure what to say, but then I found my tounge, “Fuck the Yankees”.

BTW, the only New York City team who doesn’t have a bunch of tainted championship banners are now 2-0 after Carlos Delgado had a HR and 4 RBIs against a pathetic looking Reds team. I am already looking forward to better competition to see just how much better we are then everyone else.
