2009 New York Mets thread

i think this goes for k-rod, paps, etc - i think closers have the license to be overly celebratory because they have won the game in a tight situation. it's different with a starter like joba celebrating in like the second inning

the mets are messed up right now - sheffield has like saved the team it sounds like

also it's june xp

holy shit almost a triple play

i was just going to post the AP story.

i think he knows who he is.

as much as i love to see the mets lose, it kinda sucks that today's game didn't provide for a k-rod appearance

Ump obv just wants to go home

i'm going to miss keith hernandez and co.'s passive aggressiveness in the booth for this one way rivalry:

oh, the ump's brother is a pitcher. so he's a pitcher's ump.
mark teixeira is a machine on the field. and a robot with the media.

i don't think that last line was intended as a dis!

He's on track for a career-high 50 doubles, and I expect the HRs to go up even with $iti.

wouldnt "¢iti" make more sense

countdown to panic trade 5....4....3....

'twasn't pretty

GODDAMMIT CASTILLO STOP BLOWING SAVES

man, they're gonna start this game and get 3-4 innings in...

Ken Belson, NYT:

Perhaps it’s the opposition, perhaps it’s the economy, perhaps it’s the Mets mediocre record. Whatever the reason, the Mets are discounting tickets to their upcoming home games.

Select tickets for the three games against the Tampa Bay Rays are going for half off, while tickets for the four-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals, who will play at Citi Field starting Monday, are being discounted by one-third.

Baseline box seats that cost $90 this weekend can be had for $45. Metropolitan box seats that have a $180 price tag can be bought for $90. Tickets are cheaper for the games against the Cardinals because they are “bronze” games instead of the “gold” games being played this weekend.

6 TB outs to an officisl game

man this tim redding dude is one terrifying short-armer.

between him and ryan franklin the two worst beards in baseball are in one stadium

santos is like one of the 3 redeemable players on this team

J0rdan S. who is your team?

Was at the game with my cousin the Cardinal fan. yay Pujols DP ending the 8th.

Got there by 4pm, made circuit of the Shea base markers in the parking lot.

hey morbs

ive heard two diff visiting announcing teams talk about how the atmosphere at citi is drastically worse than at old shea and i was wondering if it's true or not? are the "real" fans being priced out or is the thing just too cavernous or what?

meh, I dunno. My last 2 visits were in the first row of the upper deck near home, and the main problem was people going up and down the stairs near my sightline during the game. Plus the Wave. Same shit everywhere, right?

I don't know how it's "cavernous." The seats are closer to the field and there's more room on the concourses.

oh yeah, Beltran to the DL. fuck fuck fuck

Fernando Martinez back up, Takahashi and Wilson Valdez down; for the bullpen, Elmer Dessens (OMG) and Pat Misch up.

Elmer Dessens (OMG)

dude holy shit

what a disaster for Flushing, NY

My prediction: .500 @ ASG

lookin good at this point tbh

yeah, I think The Troll wasn't expecting half the fucking team to be on the DL tbh. It's a miracle they're where they are.

oops, that wasn't SS, just a Yankee fan!

Yankees, Mets..... what's the difference?

about $70 mil

lol

anybody watching the SNY broadcast of this game? they show an aerial view of the defense and one of the announcers says "playing him pretty much straight away, no?" when clearly everyone on the field has shifted drastically for a pull

i <3 this nieve fellow

"playing him pretty much straight away, no?"

didn't see the game, sounds like Keith

tomorrow's game could be over in like 90 min.

hope not, I paid about twice what I wanted to for my ticket...

fernandomania

it actually is kind of amazin' what the mets are getting out of people like livan and various other pieces of crap

it's also amazin' that they have to resort to them, tho

just came up on shuffle

callalldestroyer (who is a very pleasant fella) and I saw catcher's interference and a 6-5 force in consecutive innings. Also 4 Cardinal pitchers in the 8th inning (Mets didn't score).

glad that "Meet the Mets" is the new 8th-inning singalong, but just since Monday they dropped the bridge:

Oh, the butcher and the baker and the people on the streets,
Where did they go? To MEET THE METS!
Oh, they're hollerin' and cheerin' and they're jumpin' in their seats,
Where did they go? To MEET THE METS!
All the fans are true to the orange and blue,
So hurry up and come on down -
'cause we've got ourselves a ball club,
The Mets of New York town!

well, i guess that could have been worse

bad nuff

David wright: strikes out against chien-ming wang

k-rod walking mariano is up there with castillo's dropped ball.

(walking mariano with the bases loaded)

this mets lineup couldn't have gotten 2 runs off of rivera if they had 9 outs

lolll @ bb-rod

glad that "Meet the Mets" is the new 8th-inning singalong, but just since Monday they dropped the bridge:

morbs (great meeting you btw!) i meant to ask you if this was a long-standing tradition or something but from what i gather here it's new.

during the part that goes "the mets are really sockin' the ball/hitting those home runs over the wall" the 16 yo dude next me deadpanned a perfectly timed "NO" and i cracked up.
