Enjoy It While It Lasts
The Mets are a mess and it’s my fault. This year I have watched 4 Mets games live (as opposed to watching on DVR or just highlights on various sportscasts). Three of those games are the Mets 3 losses so far on the season. In the fourth game the Mets were losing while I watched [...]
Phillies Fan Purposely Vomits on Girl
The feel good moment at Citizen’s Bank Park in Philadelphia captured in my previous post is overshadowed by this story from the previous game. Follow the link for details but this is the crux of the story: “I actually heard the individual behind me say, ‘I’m gonna get sick’, then I couldn’t believe what I [...]
Have a Foul Ball, Son
I don’t have to like the Phillies but I have to like this guy. David S. Cohen, who writes The Good Phight blog about the Phillies, took his son to yesterday’s Phillies game against the Nationals. After explaining foul balls to the 4 year old here’s what happened: As a dad I appreciate moments like [...]

This Date in Mets History
This date in Mets history according to the Associated Press (via Yahoo Sports: 2006—New York Mets center fielder Carlos Beltran tied a major league record with his third grand slam of the month in a 9-6 victory over Atlanta. Beltran became the ninth player in major league history to hit three grand slams in a [...]
Tonight’s Lineup
Another odd choice by Jerry Manuel in tonight’s lineup. Fernando Tatis will be batting second and playing second base. With Luis Castillo still batting well I have to wonder why he’s not in that slot of the lineup. # Name Position 7 Jose Reyes SS 17 Fernando Tatis 2B 15 Carlos Beltran CF 21 Carlos [...]
Why Aren’t Mets Commercials This Good?
Updates
It’s been mostly quiet in Metsville since the team finalized the contracts on general manager Omar Minaya and manager Jerry Manuel. Manuel has said that he hopes to have his coaching staff finalized by early next week. So with so nothing to write about I’ve spent a little time doing some updates to the blog. [...]
Mets Done With Washington
Johan Santana did what he’s paid to do and Brian Schneider increased his home run total by 29% (hitting 2 homers to increase his season total to 9) as the Mets finished off the Nationals by a score of 7-2. The Mets finished their season series against Washington with a 12-6 record but for some [...]
Ready for the Second Half
The Mets had a tumultuous first half of the season that included a managerial change but ended it with a surge as they won their last 9 games to pull within a half game of the first place Phillies. The team obviously cannot continue to play at the level they have in the last 9 [...]
