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:

  1. Yankees
  2. Phillies
  3. Braves
  4. Marlins
  5. & 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.

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.
