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.

NL East Perpetual Doormats
Posted by Señor Met in Washington Nationals on May 27th, 2009
You know who they are. The joke of all jokes. The butt of all butts. The We Tried to Spend a Bunch of Money in the Offseason on a Player that Would Not for 80 Million years ($) Ever Sign with Us. Why would anyone lose themselves in obscurity. Career over before the ink dries.

What a joke. The Montreal Expos were much better. The NL East Perpetual Doormats should be in Las Vegas.
By the way, the Pride of the NL East swept the NL East Perpetual Doormats with Gary Sheffield contributing.
Oh, and I guess I should mention the 5 RBIs and Home Run hit by Daniel Murphy.
I am really warming up to Daniel Murphy at 1st Base.
Livan Hernandez Throws Complete Game
Posted by Señor Met in Washington Nationals on May 27th, 2009
Livan Hernendez’s performance today was simply incredible.
With the Mets entire team on crutches, Livan gave us a huge lift.
Add to the Disabled List:
- Jose Reyes
- Ryan Church
And add to the Not Injured Enough but Still Injured List:
- Carlos Beltran
Look, we are playing the NL East Perpetual Doormats, but still a Win is a Win is a Win despite what Colin Cowherd would like you to believe.
Off Topic Sports Report:
Lebron James is either gonna make a historical 3 games to 1 game comeback or he is gonna leave Cleveland in the rear view mirror on his way to the East coast.
Kobe Bryant is probably gonna need to score 60 points in game 5 because the team is not playing like a team, and I bet he does it.
Jets Starting Quarterback Mark Sanchez is the Second Coming of Joe Namath. Meaning a Championship is Coming. Buy Stock in GQ Magazine.
K-Rod Perfect in 2009 : Sheffield Just Perfect
Posted by Señor Met in Washington Nationals on May 26th, 2009
Back from a lay off from back spasms, K-Rod slammed the door on the NL EAST’s Perpetual Doormat. obviously the Nationals suck, but it is still nice to get a few easy wins.
Gary Sheffield has stepped into the cleanup hitters role since Delgado has been out. Sheffield is just taring shit up.
Today was Memorial Day. MetsMets.com would like to say Thank You and God Bless to all those that have protected all our freedoms, like watching a baseball game on a Monday afternoon while BBQing with some friends and enjoying some Blue Moon.
Especially when you get to see Gary Sheffield bust open a game with a home run that went the, the, the, ABSOLUTE MINIMUM.
The ball hit the line at the top of the wall and replays had to uphold the homerun call.
Washington National Fans suck at catching just as much as the Washington Nationals suck at catching. The ball went through a few outstretched hands which may have obscured the call enough to declare it only a double. But they blew it and Sheffield is again well on his way to 600!
Interleague Recap: Lost the Battle but Won the War
Posted by Señor Met in Boston Red Sox on May 26th, 2009
In Baseball Lingo, Lost the game, Won the Series.
Red Sox scored a bunch of runs during the third game of the interleague series so they avoided the sweep.
Mets finish the 12 game road trip 6-6. Obviously could be better but, most of those teams were playoff caliber teams and we are a bit banged up right now.
- Delgado out a couple months with hip issues.
- Reyes out with calf issues. Came back after a lay off for a game and a half before he was out again. Hope this doesn’t linger after he comes back.
- K-Rod back spasms has started becoming an issue.
- Oliver has McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and In and Out Burger issues.
First Replay Ever at Fenway Gives Mets Go Ahead Home Run
Posted by Señor Met in Boston Red Sox on May 23rd, 2009
Omir Santos was in a big spot. The type of spot every baseball player dreamed about for the first time when they were in little league. Down to your last out in the 9th inning, trailing by one run, Gary Sheffield on base (okay, Gary Sheffield probably wasn’t in your dream), and your playing in one of baseball’s hallowest grounds.
Omir Santos childhood dream came true.
Blasting a shot to the top of the Green Monster. Umm, but was it a home run. Ruling on the field, no. Ruling after Jerry Manuel made sure the umps didn’t fuck up the call by using instant replay, YES.
Home Fucking Run. good game Boston.
That was the first ever replay in Fenway Park history. And it is a replay that Boston fans will remember for a long, long time.
Johan gets Win at Fenway Park Despite Obstacles
Posted by Señor Met in Boston Red Sox on May 23rd, 2009
And by obstacles I mean the Mets.
Super Dooper poor defense which is becoming the norm is hard to overcome.
Thankfully, Johan Santana is even harder to overcome. Another solid outing limiting the high powered Red Sox offense who were helped by 3 NY errors to only 3 runs.
Plus we got Gary Sheffield jacking another bomb, at 502 he is well on his way to 600.
Francisco’s save kept him perfect on the year in save opportunities. After last years debacle, that sounds too good to be true. But we Love it. And so does Johan.
The issue here is yes, Johan can overcome 3 errors in a game and get a win. I just don’t feel very confident any of our other starters can overcome 3 errors and get a win. After each error, Johan got every batter afterwards in each inning out. That is called perserverance.
LA Sweeps NY
Posted by Señor Met in Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers on May 21st, 2009
Dodgers edged the Mets again last night, 2-1. The win finished off the sweep of the Mets, and that is just terrible.
They didn’t even have Manny Ramirez. No way should a Manny-less Dodger team be shelling out losses to the Mets faster then they give Hollwood Walk of Fame stars to American Idol winners.
Jose Reyes left the game early, still dealing with a calf muscle issue. Without our spark plug, our offense can’t seem to get enough players to cross home plate.
A day off Thursday before we travel to the unfriendly confines of Fenway Park. Boston should be a test for the Mets, as they start their interleague schedule. Thankfully, we got Johan Santana pitching against Boston’s Dice-K so we should be able to win the opener. But we are gonna have to get some offensive production from somewhere.
Maine Loses Lead
Posted by Señor Met in Los Angeles Dodgers on May 20th, 2009
John Maine had been coming on over his last four starts, with three wins. Looked good for another Maine win, but it unraveled in the 6th as he let up an untimely home run.
Dodgers beat the Mets 5-3. Hope we can bounce back on Thursday and get a win, because we need to know we can beat one of the National League’s best teams.
Jose Reyes returns but Carlos Delgado will be out for just over two months. Delgado will be missed for his power. And it sure as Hell isn’t like we got power hitting first basemen waiting in the wings.
Let’s Go Mets. Send those drunk, unfriendly fans at Dodger Stadium home unhappy next time.
