2009 New York Mets thread

things to do before the game - eat too much in meyerland; check out the view from various angles and levels (excelsior), including outside views of the auto shops (up by the pepsi porch) and the water
seat advice - buy the cheapest one you can find, then grab a standing spot behind an unobstructed-view field level rail

plz don't do that to me this early in the season.

send Delgado down already, god

^today I may quit ILBB^

you don't see many games reach the 7th-inning stretch w/ 3 hits by both teams.

u dont often see delgado score from 1st on an infield hit (thanks feliz y worth)

Citi > nu Yanqui

Had a great time in Flushing. The LA dude in me resulted in me leaving early to avoid subway anarchy. Was also with a non sports fan if we're making more excuses...

leaving a 1-0 game early with K-Rod coming in... I hope the Dodgers get smacked outta the playoffs 3-0 this year.

u worse than gabbneb

Are Manuel's benchings of Murphy as random as they seem, or is there some logic behind it?

He has sit a couple times this season against lefties, but .391/.429/.696 in 29 career PAs does not scream NECESSARY STRICT PLATOON.

Can somebody please put Ralph Kiner out of his misery?

Howard Stern producer Gary “Bababooey” Dell’Abate threw out the ceremonial first pitch as the host of Autism Awareness Day. He didn’t get the ball close to the plate

no, he didn't, as I could see even from Sec 537.

what was wrong w/ Kiner? he's been OK the last few times I heard him; just old.

Pirates looked as bad in the field vs Mets as the Nats did 2 Saturdays ago, and I didn't think that was possible.

btw, first place.

Pelfrey is 4-0; over 28 innings: 14 BB, 6 K.

6 runs, 1 earned

how many games have been submarined by their defense this year?

you know, as some seamheads have pointed out, letting the pitchers off scotfree for allowing unearned runs to score makes no sense. This is a flaw of ERA, even when "adjusted."

who the hell are these guys?

buy a scorecard

wow @ steve somers in the booth. guy almost looks more haggard than kiner

well, Sheffield aint a leftfielder either

and now, his monthly homer

Somehow you've made it sound like you're sorry he hit it.

.178/.351/.333 does look about right.

man, there's been bad baserunning in this series

helluva curve to end the game there.

if you're gonna go to a game with gabbneb, you better be prepared to see a Tatis homer and a tight loss

what'd i tell you?

fun day at the stadium anyway. lotsa kiddies in my section.

Brian Wilson just wasn't made for these times

morbs, come on, troll Steve Shasta a little. he deserves it and this is your moment.

at 11 out of 13, I'm obv too classy for that.

Excited to see Tim Redding bring it tonight at Dodger Stadium.

"bringin it"

OK, Tatis can't play first. NEXT.

Alex Cora DL'd w/ torn ligament. Ramon Martinez is back. :o

OK, Tatis can't play first

hey neither can Delgado

loving the Valenzuela love on SNY

hey Cohen, Koufax had a helluva pitcher's park to throw in. Pedro was just as great, at least.

lol ryan church

lol other mets outfielders

vin scully: 'if you're old enough to remember the 1962 mets, this game will revive your memories'

wowowowowowowowowow

Church misses 3rd! Pagan drops the ball! It's Marv Throneberry all over again.

maybe sheffield can play left and tatis can play first again now?

Tatis did start at first today until late inning hijinx ensued.

And he also made a shitty throw to home in the first.

fortunately fell asleep by 11th.

ban gabbneb, obv

thanx for the info, xp

Vin Scully laughing at you is some advanced shit.

yeah well... he still did the NBC call of the Buckner play!

no HRs on the roadtrip yet.

Newsday via CSTB:

A resident of Liberty became ill last Wednesday, three days after attending a Mets game at Citi Field on Mother’s Day, said Sullivan County manager David Fanslau. The unidentified victim became the county’s first confirmed victim of the H1N1 virus Monday afternoon, he said.

Because the woman’s trip to the game was her only known foray out of Sullivan County lately, Fanslau said, local officials officials suspect there may be a link.

Another woman from the county has a probable case of swine flu, Fanslau said. She showed flu-like symptoms over the weekend, Fanslau said. Sullivan officials believe she contracted the illness from the first woman, he said.

“Obviously, we don’t know for a fact, but it’s the first case we have in Sullivan County and we talked to her and the only travel she made was to New York City for the Mets game,” Fanslau said.

i blame Jackie Robinson

Murphy playing like Keith Hernandez at first tonight
