Mets Scrap Heap Pitcher Embarrasses Yankees at Yankee Stadium
Posted by Señor Met in Fuck the Yankees on June 13th, 2009
Fernando Nieve had not won a game in three years.
All it would take to turn his fortune around would be to give it a try against the World’s most overpaid -- underachieving -- drug using -- mega stars on the planet, the New York Yankees.
Fuck the Yankees. Had to get that off my chest.
Anyway, Yankees looked like fools in their 6-2 loss to the Mets, with Omir Santos lighting them up. Even Gary Sheffield said remember when I used to jack up homers for you with a blast.
If we can win Sunday, we can forget about the Luis Castillo stupid stupid play yesterday. Actually, we will never forget that stupid stupid play.
For your viewing pleasure:

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?

Nothing cures the ills like a little 7 game road trip and some of your mom’s homemade chicken noodle soup.
Oh My Omir

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.
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.
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
From Unknown to Well Known with One Swing of the Bat
Posted by Señor Met in CitiField, Florida Marlins on April 28th, 2009
Omir Santos stepped to the plate with the bases loaded in the first inning…
Mets fans were saying to themselves “Who is this guy?”
After Santos swung the bat…
Mets fans were saying to themselves “Where has this guy been?”
Omir Santos Grand Slam at Citi Field AP Photo
Omir Santos hit his first career grand slam, hell, it was his first career home run and his first career RBIs.
Filling in for injured catcher Brian Schneider, Santos made the most of his opportunity by hitting CitiField’s first ever grand slam that kept the Florida Marlins reeling for their seventh straight loss.
After the game, reliever J.J. Putz gave Santos a little welcome to the team moment. While Santos was being interviewed on the field, Putz gave him a shaving cream facial.
Santos wasn’t the only one to shine tonight as the Mets starting pitching was also great. John Maine delivered a one hit 6 inning performance and the Mets won 7-1.
For one day, the stars were aligned over New York. Both clutch hitting and impressive starting pitching. Maybe all it took was an unknown.
