Play Some Fucking Defense
Posted by Señor Met in Los Angeles Dodgers on May 19th, 2009
5 ERRORS in 1 Game
wtf is up with that? Can we field? Throw the ball?
We can’t beat the Manny-less Dodgers now in their ballpark, how in the world are we gonna beat them at Chavez Ravine in the playoffs when MannyRoid being MannyRoid is in the lineup.
We need Jose Reyes back. He does spark our offense. We have scored only two runs total in the past two games. We need Jose Reyes back.
I hate losing in extra innings.
PLEASE: Get to the ballpark early tomorrow and take an extra long session of fielding drills, throwing drills, and while your at it hitting drills.
Mets Organization Surveys Fans for Opinions Logo – Team Colors – CitiField
Posted by Señor Met in CitiFans, CitiField, New York Mets on May 17th, 2009
The Mets didn’t show up for their final game in San Francisco, despite the fact they were on National TV.
And the San Francisco finally beat the Mets 2-0.
More interesting then Mike Pelfrey’s three balks was the fact the Mets Organization has sent out uniform surveys to Mets fans asking about all sorts of cool things.
Mets Police is reporting that a survey has been sent to some Mets fans:
- Should the team keep their black uniform jerseys.
- Should they wear the white pinstripes more often for home games
- Should the Mets try white jerseys with an interlocking “NY”
- Should the Mets try blue jersey with an interlocking “NY”
- Name of Bridge at CitiField
- Questions about the Mets Baseball caps
Wanna Take the Survey? This is the Internet so anything is possible, Here’s the Mets Uniform Survey
In My Honest Opinion:
- Get Rid of the Black Uniforms. They are awful for so many reasons, most of which are mentioned in the survey.
- Wear the White Pinstripes. The Mets look great in pinstripes and they are a bit of a throwback look.
- Blue caps are the best. KISS, keep it simple stupid. That looks great. Again get rid of anything black.
- Lots of good options for the Bridge. I like that you can write in your own. I wrote in Doc Crossing.
Johan Gets Run Support When He Needed It the Most
Posted by Señor Met in New York Mets on May 17th, 2009
Johan Santana had an off day. Randy Johnson had a worse day.
Giving up a bunch of runs, Johan finally got the run support to carry him to a victory. 9 New York Mets to 6 San Francisco Giants.
David Wright and Carlos Beltran had doubles and RBIs. Gary Sheffield hat multiple hits as the cleanup hitter. Ramon Castro had a sacrifice fly making a productive 1-2 punch of Castro and Omir Santos behind the plate.
Mets are 12-3 in May.
This Mets Blog had a huge spike in traffic after my post about the New York Mets First CitiField Streaker. Go Figure.
Don’t Count this Team Down and Out
Posted by Señor Met in New York Mets on May 16th, 2009
An early five run deficit. The so called by Omar Minaya lack of energy, heartless team would have packed it in.
But that was then. And this is now.
David Wright had a big game. Pumping out those RBI’s.
Carlos Delgado and Jose Reyes are both injured. Delgado is probably looking at the DL. Reyes should be back any minute. JJ Putz is having health issues as well.
But as long as a few hitters step up every night. And as long as the bullpen keeps us in games. We will be able to win games when we fall behind early. And as we know from past Septembers, every game matters.

The Mets are Good, the Mets are Great, Thank You for this Team

The San Francisco Giants made a game of it late.
Then Francisco Slammed the Door.
In the cluth, Face of the Franchise David Wright and Manager Jerry Manuel’s favorite Omir Santos broke the game open in the ninth with RBI base hits.
The reality that all Mets fans have to realize is that the 2009 Mets are simply fun to watch. Especially now that they are winning the close games. Even when they were losing, they were in every game and were getting plenty of opportunities. Now the offense is capitalizing on those same opportunities and we are scoring more runs more often.
Fun to Watch
- On base they steal often. So cool.
- They Play D. Yea, they have their moments of futility, but they also have more then their fair show of Top 10 Plays.
- Mets have the best pitcher in baseball. Every time he pitches I think he will throw the Mets first No-Hitter.
- Doubles and Triples. Love the speed.
- Home Runs. Love the power.
- CitiField.
- Carlos Beltran off to a great start.
- 22+ Run Differential
- 2 Game Lead in the NL east
- No ‘roid infested players
Jose Reyes sure isn’t Charlie Hustle
Posted by Señor Met in Atlanta Braves, Jose Reyes on May 14th, 2009
Because if he was he would have been on third base and not gingerly walking into second. The fact the game was tied and in extra innings should have made hustling around the bases automatic.
CitiField Streaker Propels Mets to Come From Behind Victory
Posted by Señor Met in Atlanta Braves, Carlos Beltran, CitiField on May 13th, 2009
A nearly naked fan with “Lets Go Mets” streaked across the diamond and slid into 2nd base. The streaker only wore a stuffed animal that wrapped around his package like a thong, much to the pleasure of the 39,000 fans of this fan. Despite being arrested, the first CitiField Streaker sparked the Mets to come from behind late in a game for the first time this year.
Mets now own the Braves.
Carlos Beltran made lots of things happen, which he has been doing all season long.

All Good Things Have to Come to an End
Posted by Señor Met in New York Mets on May 12th, 2009
Just wish it didn’t have to happen against the Braves. 40,497 CitiFans the game would agree.
Johan Santana was brilliant, like always. No earned runs. A NL leading .78 ERA.
Unfortunately, as is the case when Johan is brilliant the Mets offense and defense are anything but. Errors and missed opportunities paved the way for Derick Lowe and Atlanta to beat the Mets 8-3.
Johan’s 13th consecutive start allowing 2 earned runs or less is only 2 behind Doc Gooden’s Mets record of 15 consecutive starts allowing 2 runs or less. Consider this record broken.
We are still in first.
Take the Mets Minus 1.5 and the Over (9.5) and Win
Posted by Señor Met in New York Mets on May 12th, 2009
I was in Las Vegas this weekend so I decided to put a small wager on the Mets. Not only did I expect the Mets to win by at least 2 against the usual doormat of baseball, Pittsburgh, but I also expected the Mets offense to erupt for another big day at the plate. So I took the over, which was set as 9.5.
My Mets came through for me, scoring some runs late to lock up the win and the over.
Final score, 8-4.
Payout: $20 parlay paid $84
Woohoo! That is 7 wins in a row and a nice steak dinner on the strip.
Mets Sink Pirates
Posted by Señor Met in Pittsburgh Pirates on May 12th, 2009
After the great 10-1 victory over Pittsburgh in which every aspect of the game was ideal all I can say is let’s keep this up: 6 Straight wins, Maine pitching well, Season high 17 hits.
1st place in our division.
