Let’s Go Mets!
AAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the Mets, Frankie Rodriguez. I don’t think the ninth inning
could have been more eventful without the Reds winning. I don’t think
there’s anything the Mets could do about their bullpen. If you are in
the Mets bullpen, you are cursed. But the Mets ended up winning the
game so we can move on like this never happened.
OK, so not everybody that was ever in the Mets ‘pen is cursed for eternity. Joe Smith pitched a perfect inning for the Indians last night. I miss him, ALOT.
But, if he is doing well, and he’s happy, I guess its okay. And he’s
with Grady and Mark DeRosa so it really can’t be that bad. But I really miss him.
The
Mets play at 12:35 today (Poo Poo is pitching) so I might be able to
see the game today. Unless I go out with friends to watch them eat
lunch. I figure the first day is too early to break Passover.
Let’s Go Mets!
Don’t Mess With The Pelf
Because he can fight back. Not with his 6ft 7in frame and strength, but with his words.
Mikey P. confronted Tom Verducci about being at risk of injury after
such an increase in innings. It really is a nice piece by Tom Verducci.
He is also really good on MLB Network. The piece is basically a back
and forth between Verducci and Mikey P. before Verducci discusses other
players that could be at risk. Jon Niese is also on the list, as well
as Cole “Choke Artist” Hamels, Tim Lincecum, Jon Lester, and others.
But anyways, Mike Pelfrey obviously knew what he was talking about.
Tonight
we’ll see (well, at least you will, I might not) if Mikey P. can defy
Tom Verducci when he pitches against Edinson Volquez and the Reds.
Let’s Go Mets!
P.S.
Apparently
the first hour of the Mets game on Saturday will be restricted from
television. It’s because Fox has exclusive TV rights from 4-7 PM and
the Mets game starts at 6. The Marlins scheduled the game early because
they want time for the Flo Rida concert after the game. Ay yi yi. You spin my head right round right round.
Also, can I get some comment love. I’m feeling kinda left out.
You Really Should Watch
By that, I mean Dancing With the Stars.
I’m watching right now and it’s really good. It doesn’t take that long
to get into if you are new to the show and you won’t seem weird if you
watch it. I mean, if you watch American Idol
and tell your friends, they’ll give you a look that says “nice, i
watched that show before it became mega-weird”. But, if you say you
watch DWTS, they’ll be like
“cool! i heard that was a good show”. Basically, you should watch. It’s
almost over tonight but it’ll be on again next Monday at 8 PM.
Let’s Go Mets!
I Was Thinking…
And I know that isn’t always the best thing to do, but for now I think we will all survive.
So,
if the Mets really want to be a winning team again, they should make
everything the way it was in 2006. I don’t mean getting all of the same
players, because there is no way they would have the same kind of
season they had before. But, if SNY went back with the TV head and the
Procede commercials things might change.
Obviously that stuff worked for the Mets, shown by their success in
2006. SNY also had Chris Cotter instead of Kevin but they could have
them work together because I like both of them. They would also go back
to call the postgame show, “Nissan Post Game Live”. The pregame show
would be “North Fork Bank Pregame Live”. I also remember Cliff Floyd
commercials reminding people to get their kidneys checked. It would be
cool if SNY had a day or two or three where they went back to all of
the original stuff.
Obviously, I’m very bored on Mets off days.

Baseball Is Back!
What more is there to say? The Mets got right down to business with a
2-1 win over the Reds today. And they didn’t have to win in their final
at-bat. The bullpen showed we can have some faith in them, even if it
is minimal. I’m not going to freak out because the Mets left a bunch of
runners in scoring position. It’s the first day of baseball really being
back and it feels great. Daniel Murphy got right to work, hitting the
Mets first homer of the season. Ryan Church made the catch of the
season (so far, LOL) and David Wright showed why he has won the past 2
Gold Glove awards. Johan had the bullpen behind him and therefore he
actually got the win. It was all there.
As far as the other
teams I have a rooting interest in… The Indians got beat up by the
Rangers. For me, this game is a wash. I would have like it if Cliff Lee
had pitched better but Grady did okay and Joe didn’t pitch. Ian had a
nice day for the Rangers and Josh caught the first pitch from George W.
Bush… John Grabow (he’s Jewish) got the save for the Pirates. They’re
over .500 so things are looking good… The Red Sox were postponed, as
well as the Royals and White Sox… And the guy who has the show on
WFAN right now thinks Grady will win the MVP. I think it’s Adam the
Bull. YAY!
The
Mets have tomorrow off before Mikey P. pitches on Wednesday night. I’ll
be watching as much as possible during the seder and first night of
Passover. I don’t want to miss Mikey P!
Let’s Go Mets!
“You Say That We’ve Got Nothing In Common”
At this point the posts are mostly to get certain songs in the post tomorrow.
The
Mets gave Nick Evans’ roster spot to Gary Sheffield. That sucks. They
don’t need Gary Sheffield but has an attachment to old, over-the-hill
players. He should talk to somebody about that. I was rooting for Nick.
He seems like a good kid (I’m calling him a kid when I’m 15) and I felt
bad when D-Murph stole his thunder last year. I wanted him to get a
chance. Hopefully the Mets will bring him up at some point before
September.
But now the Mets have to figure out how to make room
for Livan when he has to pitch the 5th game of the season. Personally,
I think the Mets should come to their senses and just release Gary so
they don’t have this issue. But, the Mets won’t do that so they should
do something with Marlon Anderson. I don’t want to see Marlon leave but
I don’t see how he could really help the team. If he was ready to stop
playing it would be cool if the Mets could give him some sort of
coaching job. But I doubt he wants to stop play.
Hopefully the weather in Cincy holds up for tomorrow.
Let’s Go Mets!
“Just A Few More Months And We’ll Be Fine”
Actually, if it takes much longer for baseball season to start I think
I might explode. So, tomorrow is the day of the big music post. It’s
also the day the Mets start to play meaningful games. But, for tonight,
I’m taking a walk with my mom while trying not to think about the
Fillies playing against the Braves.
And Mike Nickeas is going to start the season at AA. I’m still rooting for him!
I’m so excited for tomorrow I can barely type. See you in the morning after I make haroset at my Grandma’s house.
Let’s Go Mets!
