We’re Still The Mets

This has been a very un-Mets-like season.  It should have been the season from hell but it wasn’t.  We should have gotten nothing for Beltran and spent gobs on K-Rod but that didn’t happen either.  We should be in massive debt and bleeding money but looks like even that isn’t happening.  However, we’ve seen what …

Post Game: Falling Down

New York Mets starter Jonathon Niese (8-6) was cruising.  Through 3 innings he had struck out 6 Florida Marlins while allowing only 1 base runner.  His Mets led 4-0 over the Marlins and their starter Anibal Sanchez (11-8) in the bottom of the 3rd and had the bases loaded with 2 outs looking to add …

Post Game: No Cigar

The Florida Marlins scored in the 1st inning when a Gaby Sanchez sacrifice fly pushed Logan Morrison across the plate and they never trailed the New York Mets holding on for a 5-4 victory at Citi Field Wednesday night.  The Marlins scored again in the 2nd inning when Cameron Maybin singled to drive in Wes …

Post Game: Are You Sitting Down?

Are you sitting down?  I know I am.  Because I’m seeing things.  I swear I just saw Luis Castillo, the all-time leader in total career hits for the Florida Marlins franchise, hit a game-winning walk-off single for the Mets off of Florida Marlins reliever Will Ohman (0-2).  That can’t be.  You should check the box …

Post Game: Dickey Delights, Fish Flounder

Turkish Delight;  R.A. Dickey in Turkish is R Bir Papyon

If Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (3-0) keeps this up, we’re going to have to just call him Baller R.A. Dickey, because he’s showing that he knows how to ball like a good Dickey should.  Tonight he threw 104 pitches over 6 1/3 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks while striking out 4 …

Post Game: Marlins 7 Mets 5

John Maine took the hill tonight and things didn’t look good from the first pitch, which was exactly like the 8th pitch, a ball.  Maine walked the bases loaded and after Jorge Cantu lined out to Reyes, Maine walked  Dan Uggla and Florida was on the board without a single hit. Maine almost got out of the …

Post Game: Mets Spank Johnson, Ravage Stinky Fish

Ooh ooh that smell, it must be the Marlins!

The New York Mets showed the Florida Marlins how to abuse a Johnson, spanking Florida’s ace Josh for 4 runs on 5 hits and 4 walks in 5 innings, then the stinky Fish defense wafted over Citi Field as the Marlins tossed the ball around aimlessly allowing the Mets to tack on 3 more runs …
