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.
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.
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.
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.

Carlos Delgado 5 RBI’s Makes It 5 Wins
Posted by Señor Met in Pittsburgh Pirates on May 9th, 2009
Mets are on a roll after Carlos Delgado lit up the scoreboard against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
For the last week, the Mets have been doing everything they weren’t doing earlier in the year. Clutch hitting, effective starting pitching, and power hitting. Let’s keep it up!
Great game by Jonathan Niese who was called up to replace Oliver Perez in the rotation. Niese’s effectiveness in this role is vital for the Mets because he is our go to guy when we need a fill in.
Delgado Has Wheels : Johan Has Speed
Posted by Señor Met in Johan Santana, Philadelphia Phillies on May 6th, 2009
1-0 HUGE FUCKING WIN
- Delgado Scores From First on a Throwing Error
- Johan Throws 73 of 101 Pitches for Strikes
- Phillies Crumble
Carlos Delgado Safe At Home
Pulse of the Mets:
Ollie in the pen seems to be working. He hasn’t been in a game in a few days and the Mets have won 3 in a row.
Beltran is batting .388. For the first time this year he didn’t get on base, nearly breaking the John Olerud record for consecutive games reaching base. Is John Olerud available to pinch hit if we need him?
Mets are now back at 500. 13-13 and 1.5 games back of Philly with the Marlins in between.
Bullpen is dropping the hammer as of late.
