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.
Don’t Strike Out Looking

Swing. Thank You Daniel Murphy for at least swinging at the ball. Gary, You have some explaining to do.
Struck Out Looking
Oliver, allowing 8 runs in just over 4 innings is gonna be your worst outing of the season. We won the opening series against a Griffey-less Cincinnati Reds team on the road so put this game behind you and focus your days off on getting your $36 million ass in shape.

It’s Never Too Early to Start Shitting on the Yankees
Posted by Señor Met in Fuck the Yankees on April 9th, 2009
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.
Press Conference with Señor Met

Señor Met
Señor Met: “Well Mike, If you look up on the video you will see I was looking for the New York Mets Idol that will sing during the 2013 All-Star Game at CitiField.”
Reporter: One more question Señor Met, what is Gary Sheffield thinking about?
Señor Met: Gary is a great guy who is about to hit the 500 home run milestone with Mets, obviously a huge addition to our ball club. Pappa Jerry is saving the 500th for the opening home stand at pitcher friendly Citi. I haven’t had a chance to bump into him yet, but WTF was Detroit smoking? Seriously, 5 home runs in the preseason and your gonna pay him $13.6 Million, but he wasn’t worth keeping for another $400,000?.
Didn’t we just have 150 days of no baseball?
Whoever is in charge of scheduling needs to be reassigned.

Johan Predicts Mets Going to the World Series (Read: “Championship Season”)
One Down 161 to go and a few vitamin water commercials too
Posted by Dave Right in New York Mets on April 7th, 2009
Well today was fun. Johan did what he always does and our new bullpen looked lights out. props to greeny and putz for getting us to franciso i mean K-RODDDDD!!!!! I was ok at the plate today but sucked on the basepaths. I got caught thinking about my girlfriend in the fifth, and a new vitamin water flavor in the seventh. Ha just kidding?! This is or year and we are going to take the penant. I am going to do some early batting practice in the morning after i workout. See ya next time……Looking forward to our home opener at Citi Field!!!!
3 Hitter. Johan and Bullpen Shine on Opening Day
Posted by Señor Met in Opening Day on April 6th, 2009
Opponents Beware: If David Murphy has a monster season in the middle of this lineup scary things could happen. I’m thinking Murphy’s two RBI’s and HR could be the start of an assault on the National League record books.
Boston’s National League team record of 1,220 runs scored in 1894 might be in jeopardy.
Or tying the 1957 Cincinnati Reds record of having 7 players start in the All-Star Game. The Mets won’t need the fans to stuff the ballot box like they did for the Reds.
