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 ...
Mets Overcome Adversity, Take Down Pirates
metsfansforever.com 7/2/2009 — Author: Paul Zinn
A one-day stop in Pittsburgh for a make-up game sandwiched between tough series in Milwaukee and Philadelphia had to be inconvenient for the Mets. And New York had additional reasons to throw in the towel during this afternoon's contest at PNC Park.

Rain and blown leads [Mets 9 Pirates 8]
raisethejollyroger.com 7/2/2009 — I was hoping for a quick, relatively ordinary game today. It was a 12:35 scheduled start and I had work at 5:00 (and it would take 45 minutes to get from place to place). This game was far from ordinary. Or quick.

Rebuilding Project Stalls as Mets Take Second in a Row
itsmetsforme.blogspot.com 7/5/2009 — The Pirates tried, but failed, to match the Mets for lameness yesterday. Tim Redding. Elmer Dessens? Who's the Pittsburgh Pirates here ? When the prat falling Mets brought their follies in to walk the plank for a rainy all-day matinee, the loss ...
Funny Guys
theballclub.blogspot.com 6/28/2009 — The only enjoyment last night's game seems to have provided is a bunch of really ridiculous looking photographs of the Yankees making merry all over our back yard. It's kind of sickening, really. There's not much to laugh about as far as the Mets are concerned. Sometime around the 6th inning, ...
Inexcusable
metsfansforever.com 6/29/2009 — Author: Will Sommer As everybody knows by now the Mets were just swept by are hated rivals, the Yankees. I was embarrassed to be a Met fan this past weekend. I wasn't embarrassed because of the lack of offense. I was embarrassed because of their lack of fundamentals. In the opening game of ...
More of the Same
theballclub.blogspot.com 6/22/2009 — 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 ...
Why the Phillies are better than the Mets
