What Goes Around Comes Around
Posted by Señor Met in Baltimore Orioles on June 17th, 2009
The Mets were given a gift, thanks to Aubrey Huff.
The Baltimore Orioles star dropped an over the shoulder pop-up giving the Mets a couple of unearned runs. Those turned out to be the winning runs in this interleague game.
Sound familiar, last week Luis Castillo gave an Interleague game away to the Yankees. It all evens out during a 162 game season says Jerry Manuel. In this case, it evened out pretty quick.
With the Phillies blowing a late lead to the Blue Jays, the Mets getting the win today closed the gap to only a few games back of the division lead. Despite the growing list of injuries, the Mets are hanging tough.
By the way, Sammy Sosa is a cheat. Not like anybody really suspected otherwise. He went from an occasional power hitter to becoming the guy who chased down Roger Maris’ single season home run record virtually overnight. Then testing went into place and he couldn’t hit a home run in a little league park. Anyway, the list of 104 unknown names of cheaters is down to 102 after Fucking cheating A-Roid and Shammin Sammy were released to the public.
Shammin Sammy, I take credit for that nickname. Sweet.
June 14 is a Day that Will Live in Infamy for Mets Fans
Posted by Señor Met in Fuck the Yankees, Johan Santana on June 15th, 2009
Mets crosstown rivals kicked us out of their mega stadium.
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.
Mets Scrap Heap Pitcher Embarrasses Yankees at Yankee Stadium
Posted by Señor Met in Fuck the Yankees on June 13th, 2009
Fernando Nieve had not won a game in three years.
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.
For your viewing pleasure:
Merry Christmas Yankees

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
Deja Vu at CitiField
Posted by Señor Met in Philadelphia Phillies on June 11th, 2009
Deja Vu all over again at CitiField. Just Like in Game 2 of this Series
Mets have Lead.
Mets blow Lead.
Extra Innings.
Phillies Blast Home Run.
Game Over.
In this game, Luis Castillo scored all 3 Mets runs and Carlos Beltran had all 3 RBI’s. The Mets bullpen – save for Francisco Rodriguez – has not been the lockdown – best in the Major Leagues – bullpen that everyone had pumped up before the season. That is for sure.
Chase Utley Home Run in Extra Innings Hurts
Posted by Señor Met in Philadelphia Phillies on June 10th, 2009
I really hate losing to the Phillies. Especially when we let it get away.
It was only one night after the Mets had a memorable win at CitiField against their rivals they’ve owned all season – the Philadelphia Phillies. But on this night the rivals returned the favor.
The top half of an extra inning Chase Utley put his team ahead with a solo blast. The Mets had no answer.
It is just to bad, because the Mets let this game slip away. We were winning 4-1 with only a few innings of baseball left.
We need to hang in there and scrape out another win tommorrow. Hopefully time is healing all wounds fast. And I am not just talking about the injury ridden lineup, but how much this game sure hurt.
CitiField Mutiny as Johan Santana Wins Slugfest
Posted by Señor Met in Johan Santana, Philadelphia Phillies on June 10th, 2009
Johan Santana had two strikes and the tieing run in scoring postion. Bunt sign called in via a dizzying display of hand swipes and ear pulls and nose twicthes by the third base coach. All that shenanigans is not really needed, obviously Johan Santana is gonna bunt.
Obvious to everyone but Johan Santana.
The ol’ catch’em with their pants down by their ankles trick, fake a bunt and swing for the fences – a double will do – and tie the game.
That’s ballsy, that’s beautiful baseball, that’s the NL’s best pitcher.
Beltran, Wright and Church all had home runs. Phillies had 4 as well. 7 the most ever in a game at the homer unfriendly confines of CitiField. 4 ties the most home runs given up by Johan ever.
This is gonna be one of the most memorable games this season.
Livan Hernandez Gives Me A Birthday Present

Add the Lowly Pittsburgh Pirates to Our List of Rivals
Posted by Señor Met in Atlanta Braves, Carlos Beltran, Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Nationals on June 6th, 2009
According to the Pirates, the Mets have “Zero Class”
Yea, we sure do have “Zero Class”, but not because Beltran said the Mets getting swept by the Pirates was embarassing, but because the Mets getting swept by the Pirates is embarrasing.
Beltran is right on, we are way better then the Pirates. Just this week, the pirates traded away their best player, Nate McClouth (who happens to be on my fantasy team and now I have to drop him because he is on our bitter rival the Braves), like they do every year. They have not had a winning season since like Bonds left to get closer to his Steroid supplier.
So we already have a rivalry with:
- Yankees
- Phillies
- Braves
- Marlins
- & to a lesser extent a few others like the Red Sox
but now we get to add a new one with the NL Central Perpetual Doormats. And nothing gets a sub .500 team interested in playing their absolute best more then a rivalry against a big city team.
btw, we lost on Saturday to the NL East Perpetual Doormats by a lot, 7-1. That is also embarrassing. I know I can’t wait to get back to NY.
