The last month has been incredibly frustrating, but there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic
To be honest, I don’t even know where to start. The last two and a half years have been excruciating, but June of 2009 will go down as one of the worst months in Mets history. And ...
A Look At The First Half Of The Season
metsfansforever.com 7/13/2009 — Author: Greg Pomes The All-Star break is upon us and I have to say I'm happy to be done with the first half of the season. To say that the 1st half of the 2009 season has been difficult on Met fans would be the understatement of the year. The Mets are currently in 4th place in the National ...
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 ...
Mets Fan Reeducation: The Media, The Management, And You
amazinavenue.com 7/7/2009 — When I heard Reverend James Lawson, a local professor at Vanderbilt and a hero of the Civil Rights movement, speak about First Amendment rights, I was taken aback by one thing in particular he said (and I'm paraphrasing): "The news media is based on ...
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 ...
The Mets aren't winning it this year... so don't make a trade
sullybaseball.blogspot.com 7/3/2009 — OK, I am expecting some hate e mail from this post by Mets fans. I have my guard up. Let me get this out of the way… I don’t hate the Mets. I have moved on from 1986 (seeing my team win two World Series helps.) So save any “You are an angry Red Sox ...
One Year Later...
theballclub.blogspot.com 6/16/2009 — So, it's been exactly one year since the 3am Massacre that saw the Mets chop off the head and hack at the limbs of their coaching staff and replace them with the bunch we see today. Given the way things looked for the Mets then and comparing them with things now, it's hard to see too much ...
Halftime!
theballclub.blogspot.com 7/13/2009 — This season started in somewhat disjointed fashion for the Mets, who had already suffered through a pair of close-but-not-quite-good-enough finishes the previous two seasons. The prevailing thought was that whatever problems had reared their heads, be it character, bullpen or otherwise, had ...
FUBAR
mets.gearupforsports.com 7/15/2009 — Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition (Sorry for the cussing but if you’re a Mets fan and haven’t been swearing left and right this season, then get your pulse checked.)
That is the exact phrase to describe the first half of the 2009 New York Mets’ season. Once again GM Omar ...
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 ...
The Horror...The Horror...
theballclub.blogspot.com 6/5/2009 — When Carlos Beltran speaks his mind, it gets people's attention. More often than not, he's 100% on the money. Beltran's postgame statements this afternoon , calling out the Mets as an Embarrassment is, rather sadly, the truth right now. The Mets left town on Sunday looking pretty good, ...
