The raggedy band of substitutes put their ace on the mound to try to win their first series in over a month and to do it they had to beat one of the best pitchers the major leagues have to offer. Chris Carpenter has had to come all the way back from injuries that has kept him on the sidelines ...
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 ...
No core, no problem for Mets
subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com 6/23/2009 — It's bad enough that the Mets are so riddled with injuries that Jose Reyes and trainer Ray Ramirez can get in an auto accident ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. But as the Star-Ledger reports , the Mets couldn't even give a straightforward account of this non-injury ...
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 ...

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 ...
At least it wasn't a no-hitter
subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com 6/28/2009 — Oh for the good old days when the Mets would blow leads late. Even the Luis Castillo game is starting to look good by comparison. How often do the Mets look like they have a chance in the late innings these days? As soon as the Yankees erupted for four runs in the sixth, the game was over. Last ...
Thank Evans!
theballclub.blogspot.com 6/26/2009 — I guess if I was going to pick the perfect day to buzz work and go to the Mets game instead, yesterday would have been that day . The celebrated pitching matchup of Chris Carpenter and Johan Santana was somewhat uneven, but definitely lived up to its billing. Santana wasn't sharp most of the ...
