The Mets third baseman, posing here with the Mets bullpen, better get his offensive act together say some. Well I'll be damned. It didn't look good. Not for me and the Subcontinent internet tech I had on the phone OR Johan Santana. I got through to tech support ("Oh, you said firmware !") just as Johan coughed up the lead on what looked to me like some kind of illegal swing by the Phils ...

First things first: Brian Schneider lost this game for the Mets. You can blame the lame offense, or point to the shitpen, but all Mr. Defense had to do is catch the relay from Easley, wait a beat, and tag out the runner to end the game. That's all. I've seen enough of Brian Schneider, who I would prefer not to see in a Mets uniform next year, not that I'm as high as others are on cream puff ...

Passing on activation Item: Luis Castillo reportedly doesn't feel right about starting for the Mets, asks for a few extra days . What are his possible reasons? 10. still raising cash to buy a pair of old Shea Stadium seats. 9. it's just common courtesy to let the current second baseman's hair coloring job fade before taking his job 8. still owes Lance Berkman money. 7. his joining the club ...

Jerry to media: "You can't handle the truth!" What do these statements have in common? Castillo will be starting at second base tonight I'll give Eddie Kunz a chance to be my closer . I will get Pelfrey more rest. We have to shake up the bullpen (right before sending Heilman out to close again). I didn't get tossed from that game while Willie was still the skipper because I wanted his ...

There is no such thing as a bad sweep of the Atlanta Br*ves, like they say there's no bad pizza. The Mets basically were gifted yesterday's finale courtesy of a bad ump call and a plot of slippery grass. So it hasn't made me as euphoric as it could, though I'd like a serving of personal revenge against the Asstros starting tonight. In the face of this season-long disaster, we Mets fans have ...

Instead of limping off peacefully, the Bucs heard about the generous Mets pen and wanted in on the fun. Ya can't win em all, right? Bullshit. The Mets lost today to a team that, symbolized by a gruesome Sunday 7th inning injury to poor Brandon Moss, could barely make it out of the batters box all week. But leave it to the Shitpen to dispel any happytime Met fans may have felt after John ...

Finally, a great trade for the Mets involving Manny? The Mets need to be grateful for the gift near sweep of the Phils the LA Dodgers have sent their way, particularly while the Mets play a long stretch against bottom feeders (record against said-feeders thus far 2-1) like Washington and Pittsburgh, teams they usually make look like the '27 Yankees. Philly's schedule doesn't look that much ...

I managed to convince some of the interweb’s sharpest wits to virtually sit down for a roundtable discussion just after the All-Star break. I promised them keychains and SUVs if they would take a stab at some of the most pressing issues in the Mets universe, engage in a bit of reflection on the first half, and expertly opine on what we can expect from the 2008 Mets. The participants: Jaap ...

The Friar and friends. Last night was as close to an undeserved victory as you can come. Against the Flailing Fathers, often described as the doormats of the NL West, the Mets almost chucked another game into the crapper. Fernando "Only Met Worth A Shit with RISP" Tatis left his mark again, and Pelf didn't fare too badly. But there were very few positive signs from the slumping Mets. ...

At least Junction Jack was kind enough to visit the Mets in the hospital. How bad is it? So bad, I was relieved when Robinson "Crazy Legs" Cancel broke for third like a prize ass, because I knew it would save David Wright the trouble of FAILing again with RISP. Hopefully the balleyhooed boy wonder will grow into his role next year, WHICH IS TO COME THROUGH WITH A BIG RBI WHEN THE TEAM NEEDS ...

It just isn't a massive Met failure if Aaron Heilman isn't involved. When in Houston, I recommend club seating (they got cushions for your butt and waiters!) The train (bound for Revenge Town?) that would soon be running the Mets over. Carlos Beltran, uninspired by 39,000 Astros fans booing him all weekend, goes over to pick up the Shownblow pitch bashed off the CF wall by none ...

Worth the price of admission: A hilarious segment run on old friend Kaz Matsui, secondbase man and leadoff hitter for the Astros. The guy just does not seem to have anyone looking out for him, like an agent or something. Kaz' leadoff bomb against Pedro: not so hilarious. *** It was a great game. If you're an Astros fan. Believe me, I was there and those folks were ...

We here at IMFM International have searched long and hard for the kind of multinational corporate backing that makes sense for our product and for Mets fans in general.

Batshit Barry says: "If'n ya ain't got the health insurance yet, ya can git it wit us!" (For ...
