There was a play in the eighth inning tonight that summed up the critical difference between the Mets and the Phillies. David Wright fielded a grounder from Shane Victorino and threw to first, where the ball bounced off of Daniel Murphy's glove and rolled several yards down the line into foul ...
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 ...
Game 2 Preview: Mets @ Phils
weretheteamtobeat.com 7/4/2009 — Happy 4th of July Everyone...Even you Phillies fans
After a convincing 7-2 Phillies win last night, the Mets send Fernando Nieve to the hill this afternoon to take on Jamie Moyer. Nieve is sporting an impressive stat line (3-1, 2.25 ERA), and his emergence has helped to stabilize the Mets ...
Two-Week Mets Rehab and Detox Over: Lessons Learned
legendofcecilioguante.com 6/28/2009 — Rehabilitated? I Don't Know the Meaning of the Word... A wise philosopher once said: "Isms in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an isms, he should believe in himself." Prescient commentary. Fanaticism is one of those isms, and it too is not good. This is one of the ...
Phillies vs. Mets weekend!
weretheteamtobeat.com 7/3/2009 — How great is Mets vs. Phillies on fourth of July weekend? I’m psyched. It would be a little bit more fun if we didn’t have to watch Livan Hernandez, Rodrigo Lopez (ah damn) & Fernando Nieve, but how can we complain about such

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 ...
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 ...
The State of the Mets

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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
