the 2007 NEW YORK METS: Pedro is Gravy

Maybe I was not listening properly, but it seemed like the Shea crowd went from chanting "LET'S GO METS" to "BOOOO!!!" within maybe a second of the first fly out reaching the air in the ninth.

it's Gotham, baybee

The fans who envision a real Kenny Rogers Wild Pitch torture scenario are predicting they'll stay alive til the playoff at CBP on Monday.

I went to hs with a dude named Jermaine; in his yearbook half-page, he included a quote from Michael Jordan: "If I could be like 'maine"

This summarizes the emotional swings of most mets fans in a nutshell!

Tomorrow will at least be exciting.

Well perhaps not so exciting.

"I don't care if it's broke," said Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez, who left the game after being struck on the left hand by a pitch from Maine (X-rays showed the hand was not broken). "I'm gonna play tomorrow. Fuck everybody on the Mets. I'm going to kick their asses."

That's an amazing quote. Ah, the magic of NL East rivalries.

wow - he really doesn't like the mets!

I sort of like that the Mets have some new adversaries besides the Braves and Yankees now. I don't think they deserve to make the playoffs after playing so half-hearted the last couples week. So many really bad losses.

Funniest part of the broadcast tonight was Gary Cohen reaping the TV promo for "Reaper".

God, you guys are vicious bullies.

At least I got to shout "LO DUCA YOU FUCKING SUCK" one last time. (If he is around next year I will go to a maximum of one game.)

God, you guys are vicious bullies.

naw, last night we were just clowning not being vicious.

THIS is being vicious ...

Because the Mets are really dropping the ball!
They've got their backs up against the wall!

East Side, West Side
everyone's watching them go down!
'Cause they're the M-E-T-S, Mets

Oh, the Pirates and Cardinals are ready to scream!
Why will they scream? They'll beat the Mets!

All the fans, it's true, the Mets are leaving them blue,
so hurry up and come on down!
You'll say, "You call this a ball club?"
The Mets of New York clowns!

They're making everyone cry in the stands!

'Cause they're the M-E-T-S, Mets
the New York clowns!
The New... York... clowns!

i've read better parodies.

the mets don't deserve better.

true, but the phillies might deserve better "phans"

don't the Philly fans sing 'Beat your wife'?

waht's this about a Country Time quote in THE NEW YORKER??

philly hasn't like won anything ever; they deserve a chance for once

1980! That'll do.

true, but the phillies might deserve better "phans"

i'm sure that there a few former i-bank employees milling about in Olde City and Northern Liberties talking trash about the neighbors they're displacing -- right up yer alley.

don't the Philly fans sing 'Beat your wife'?

that's very rich, coming from a team that plays in queens ... and includes an admitted steroid abuser.

Queens is the borough of domestic abuse or somethin'?

A steroid 'abuser' just abuses himself.

Steven Goldman, last Friday:

Fascinating thing about the Mets: their ERA has risen in every month of the season. From April onwards: 2.96, 3.73, 4.20, 4.50, 4.93, 5.16. In this, we could argue that the Mets' shocking last-minute fade shouldn't be all that shocking and isn't terribly last minute. I suspect if I had been writing the "Metsstriped Bible" at that time I would have been inveighing against the elderly nature of the Mets staff, arguing that oldsters are more prone to fading over the course of the season. That's not the whole story, of course; the lineup has been carrying too many dead spots all season. Unfortunately, this was a season in which there wasn't much to be done in the way of trading. Teams that needed to win through maneuver couldn't make adjustments. Omar Minaya is big on upgrading his team on the fly, certainly far more so than Brian Cashman, but between the weaknesses of the Mets' farm system and the lack of attractive options on the market, his hands were tied.
