All Tied Up

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:20:26 +1900

99 Games into the 2008 season, your 2008 New York Mets are tied with the Philadelphia Phillies at 53-46 for first place in the NL East. It appears all the pre-season talk about whose the "team to beat" and the return of the "Turnpike Series" rivalry is finally panning out and living up to the hype... READ MORE

Mets Fans: Say Goodbye to 2008

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 04:10:27 +1900

After tonights game, as far as I'm concerned the season is over... There's no way Pelfrey is gonna beat Webb tomorrow, and we'll be lucky if Santana can beat Haren on Thursday... This whole season has been a joke, every single player except for Wagner has seriously underperformed, Willie has made every mistake possible along the way... READ MORE

Santana's 100th Win

Mon, 2 Jun 2008 06:47:05 +1900

Although hardly mentioned by the incompetent Jon Miller and Joe Morgan on ESPN, Mets ace Johan Santana won his 100th career game on Sunday night against the Dodgers. His career record is now 100-47. According to the Elias Sports Bureau... Only four other active (or disabled) pitchers had fewer than 50 losses at the time of their 100th career win: Mike Mussina (100-43), Tim Hudson (100-45), ...

ESPN Forces Cancellation of Mr. Met Dash

Sun, 1 Jun 2008 19:55:28 +1900

Growing up as a die hard Mets fan as a kid, one of the most lasting memories I have of the Mets and of Shea Stadium during the 90s was a promotion day the Mets used to do every once and a while called the Dyna-Mets Dash. This was the day when the kids would get to go down to the field after the game and run around the bases. READ MORE

The Home Run That Didn't Count

Mon, 19 May 2008 20:47:08 +1900

So by now, you've probably all seen the home run hit by Carlos Delgado which was called a foul ball by the umpires in Sunday Night's Mets-Yankee's game. If you haven't, you can see it here. This type of play is the kinda thing that makes me think about the rules and unwritten rules of baseball... READ MORE

OUR CITY

Mon, 19 May 2008 20:44:12 +1900

This weekend the Mets took both games from our crosstown rivals the New York Yankees, during a rain shortened series in what may be the most important series of the year thus far. I refuse to call a two game series win a sweep, so we'll just say the Mets won this weekend's series, reclaiming bragging rights for the time being. READ MORE

Wagner's Comments

Mon, 19 May 2008 20:41:29 +1900

Before I even get into this non-sense, I want to go back to Monday's 10-4 loss to the last place Washington Nationals. The expectations were high for the Mets to take at least 3 out of 4 from the pathetic Nats. However, the tables were turned, and the Mets dropped 3 of 4 instead and fell to a mere 20-19. Then we saw the New York media once again calling for Willie's job, pointing out that the ...

THM Injury Report

Mon, 19 May 2008 20:40:59 +1900

As it was members of this blog who broke the news to Metsblog regarding the injury to Mets' top prospect Fernando Martinez, it is only appropriate we provide with our injury report. In Wednesday night's game in Binghamton, Martinez strained his right hamstring running to second. Martinez claimed to hear just a little pop and was moving quite gingerly with a significant limp.

Beer Money

So SNY debuted it's new show "Beer Money" tonight (an hour after it was supposed to be on) but none the less, the show wasn't half bad, basically this guy and this girl go around sporting venues and sports bars in the tri-state and ask random fans New York sports trivia questions for cash.

In appreciation of the 2008 season being the last season for the New York Mets at Shea Stadium. I will be taking all of us back on a trip down memory road, to relive some of the great moments to take place at Shea.

Weekly Wrap Up

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 03:28:06 +1900

Another week, another wrap up, and another round of question marks regarding the 2008 New York Mets. After getting our hopes up with an impressive series against the Phillies, the Mets took another giant step backwards with a horrendous series against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Mets opened up the last season at Shea Stadium in true New York Mets fashion on Tuesday, as the bullpen blew a great ..

Ass of the Day

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 03:27:48 +1900

I'm in a foul mood this evening. Where do you even begin? I know it's early in the season but the state of Mets fans is not good. Especially considering that murmur of effort at the end of 2007. Excuse those of us who are slightly annoyed. Do I get frustrated with Ollie Perez for being his usual up and down self? Or do I get angry with every pulled hamstring I've heard about all

Kaufman's Korner-Attention Mets Fans!

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 03:27:29 +1900

I know it’s hard to root for this team being how they are not even a .500 team so far and we are all still wondering if the effects of the 2007 collapse are with the team. However, there is something that’s been alarming. And no it’s not the Marlins and Royals in first place (yeah I know, wow). It’s the fact that some of you Mets fans decided to actually boo none other than Johan Santana at ..

XOXOs of the Day

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 05:59:45 +1900

Well after 3 losses, the Mets finally mustered a win. I'm glad Mike Pelfrey got the W today, even though it was far from ace-like. I'll take a stopper in any way, shape, or form. In all seriousness though, I want Pelf to do well. I want him to seize his opportunities and show some guts. So hats off to him. Pelfrey seems like the obvious XOXO winner, but not today. I would love to give the THM ...
