Wild Card in the Future for the New York Mets?
Posted by Señor Met in Arizona Diamondbacks on August 2nd, 2009
Angel Pagan hit his first home run for the Mets in a couple years, it was a grand slame and the Mets beat Arizona 9-6.
Unless the Angel can do that day in and day out, and a host of other Mets step up there is no way we are making any kind of playoff run.
At 50 wins and 53 losses, there are 7 teams ahead of us in the wild card race and we are 6.5 games back of the wild card leaders.
Delgado is done for the year, Beltran’s knee issue may be career threatening, and Reyes’ hamstring gets better and then gets worse. Internally, our GM Omar Minaya has been on the hot seat with fans and media calling for his firing.
I would like to say this has been one of the most disappointing seasons ever, but the way the last couple ended with embarrasing final week of the season collapses this season appears to be just another one of the many disappointments.
Pelfrey and Church Stop 5 Game Skid
Posted by Señor Met in Milwaulkee Brewers on July 1st, 2009
Our not-so-potent offense produced 1 run.
Fortunately, Mike Pelfrey didn’t allow a run.
Our anemic offense has been worse then usual the last few games. I just hope we can stay within striking distance until our wheels (Reyes) and our superstar (Beltran) make it back.
Beltran to the DL
Posted by Señor Met in St. Louis Cardinals on June 23rd, 2009
Charlie Brown said many times, “Good Grief”.
A great many Mets fans are feeling like Charlie Brown this season. With Beltran going to the DL for probably awhile, the Mets lineup resembles even less like it did on opening day.
We can’t even get somebody healthy before someone else gets hurt. Nope. Just more injuries on more injuries.
At least we beat Pujols and Cardinals last night.
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.
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.
Is There a Doctor in the House?

John Maine Pitched Awesome. Then he Threw Up.
Rx
The bug that made Carlos Beltran sick has inflicted the pitching staff.
Rx
We are totally fucked if this bug makes it way to the bat boys.
Rx
Angel Pagan had an RBI double. Then he got hurt.
Rx
Figures the replacement for an injured Beltran gets himself injured.
Rx
Yet, we had an AMAZING MAY! We just won another series, had a great homestand, and finished with an 18-8 record this month. A little heart wouldn’t you say Omar Minaya?
Rx
Nothing cures the ills like a little 7 game road trip and some of your mom’s homemade chicken noodle soup.
Fernando Martinez Makes an Impact; Tim Redding gets Impacted
Posted by Señor Met in Florida Marlins on May 30th, 2009
The pride of our minor league system, Fernando Martinez, got his first career hit and RBI. However, it was way short of enough to beat the Florida Marlins.
That is because Tim Redding was getting lit up like he did in his last start, sort of like firecrackers on the 4th of July.
I guess Jerry Manuel figured Josh Johnson was going to be tough to beat at home with Tim Redding on the mound for the Mets, so he sat out most of our non-injured stars. And the one premier bat in the lineup, the early season MVP candidate Carlos Beltran’s, left mid-game because of a stomach virus.
Let’s put this ugly loss behind us and get started on another little winning streak ASAP.
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.
The Mets are Good, the Mets are Great, Thank You for this Team

Interrupt your regularly scheduled Mets Blog to inform you of the:
Live Darryl Strawberry Chat Friday afternoon on the four letter juggernaut of all things sports.

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
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.
- First CitiField Streaker is a New York Mets Fan
