Clearly, June has not been the Mets month. I feel more comfortable saying that than I feel saying 2009 is not the Mets season, which is a phrase I seem to be hearing more and more lately. I'd already declared the Mets season more or less over after this particular pair of games , but when you ...
Just So Many Summers, Babe
faithandfear.blogharbor.com 7/6/2009 — There're just so many summers, babe. And just so many springs.
Don Henley's lyrics came to me early in the 1993 season. Too early. 1993 wasn't, sadly, the last worthless season that we'd have to spend, but damn if it wasn't over fast. The Mets were 12-25 after 37 games, 15 behind the 1st ...
You'll Show Us!
theballclub.blogspot.com 6/11/2009 — For 5 innings last night, the Mets did a pretty good job of making Cole Hamels eat his words. For the final 6 innings, the Mets did a pretty good job of making Cole Hamels look prophetic . Though the game early on seemed to be playing out like a Pelfrey/Hamels pitchers duel, the Mets ...
Phillies & Mets: Top second half storylines
weretheteamtobeat.com 7/15/2009 — All of the the break’s all-star festivities are over and baseball resumes its regularly scheduled programming tomorrow. Things should be exciting right off the bat. The Mets visit the Braves and the Phillies go to the Marlins. What’s better than some inter-division fun ...
A Mets blog man-crushing on the Phillies? WHAT THE @#$%?
weretheteamtobeat.com 6/23/2009 — Hot Foot blog who the hell do you think you are? You’re messing up the natural order of things. Mets fans are not supposed to have love for the Phillies ! That’s like a cat licking a dog’s ass! (Wait, what?) What’s going on here?:
Just give me a second to explain ...
Lost In A Fog
theballclub.blogspot.com 6/12/2009 — All I can say after subjecting myself to all 10 innings and 3 hours and 3 minutes of the debacle that masqueraded itself as last night's Mets/Phillies game is that it's a DAMN good thing I don't drink at Baseball games. I would have very likely done something ill-advised and regrettable in a ...
Game Preview: Phillies vs Mets
213milesfromshea.metsblog.com 5/6/2009 — The Mets start their second two game series tonight back home in Queens as they welcome Philly to check out the new digs for the first time tonight. Although there are a lot of similar scenarios from the last time the Mets played the Phillies over the weekend, there is a different feeling in the ...
Game Preview: Phillies vs Mets
213milesfromshea.metsblog.com 6/9/2009 — The Mets open up the beginning of a tough schedule with the Phillies tonight as Johan Santana will be pitching after basically a full week of rest and he will have to deal with Happ of the Phillies who will be making his first start against the Mets tonight. One of the bigger questions going ...
Help The New York Mets Ditch The Black...And Help Fight Cancer!
metspolice.com 6/7/2009 —
This is my favorite thing so far since the Mets Police started. One of the faithful, Carlo (who has written some of the best guest posts on the blog) has put his money where his mouth is.
So nobody likes cancer, and most people hate the black uniforms. Let's defeat Charlie ...
Despite Mets Struggles, Some Phils Fans Still in Fear
nybaseballdigest.com 6/19/2009 — I came across this commentary from Phils Nation (good find by the guys at Amazin Avenue ). You could replace the team and players names and you would think this was a column about the New York Mets. Things may not be well in Flushing, but, despite the championship banner, paranoia and fear ...
Should Mets Push for Rainouts?
nybaseballdigest.com 6/9/2009 — Random thought. With the state of the team’s injuries, would it make sense to push as many games to later in the year as possible? For example, there is a great chance tonight’s matchup against the Phillies will be rained out. Should the Mets make this an early call? Why risk ...
Macho Row Phillie of the Week —
Bleacher Report - MLB 6/22/2009
It's been a rough week for the Phillies so picking a Phillie of the week almost seems like a chore. As bad as some of the players have been though we should point out the bright spots when we can. Center fielder Shane Victorino has been that ...
