2009 New York Mets thread

Mets won today 10-9 w/out drawing a walk or striking out. That can't happen often.

Angel Pagan may be the worst baserunner I've ever seen

Many current Royals are close, possibly worse.

who says you can't hit homers at citifield?

that graph has been poo-pooed by my graphic design friends as too dense.

I was at tonight's drubbing with our dear I4n, who sings a hearty Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

Mets have dumped "Meet the Mets" singalong, fuck em.

was fun!

also in attendance, 8'1" Sultan Kosen:

Ok, I have been wrong before but third worst team in the NL is kinda cray-zay. How much $$$ spent per win?

how many injuries did you predict, Trolly?

ha ha - how did i know this was gonna be a shasta and morbs one two?!

http://metsmerizedonline.com/2009/09/mets-to-offer-jeff-francoeur-3-year-deal.html

The Mets believe Francoeur will look sharp in their 2010 uni, so much so that they are inclined to approach him about signing him to a three-year contract that would allow him to become a big league Beau Brummel, if he so chose. They like what they have seen of him in and out of uniform — from his spirited demeanor to his nuclear arm to the two doubles he produced Saturday afternoon in their victory against the Nationals.

Jerry Manuel said something I’ve been saying since the day he first became a Met. He talked about Francoeur’s intangibles – you know, those things that don’t show up in the box scores.

“If you were to talk intangibles,” Jerry Manuel said, “he’d rate way off the charts.”

utterly fucking predictable

hahah what if you were to not talk intangibles?

Then he's a rightfielder with a career .311 OBP.

Braves before trade: 41-44
Braves after trade: 44-26

Mets before trade: 40-44
Mets after trade: 27-46

yeah, Church for MVP

such lols I am having

i mean honestly, guys:

TWO DOUBLES

DAYUMMMM

thats, like, four whole bases

thats basically like hitting a home run

no--a grand slam

Q: Most doubles in one game baseball game by a single player?
In: Baseball History [Edit categories]

The MLB record for doubles in a game by a player is 2 and has been done once: Jeff Francoeur in 2009 with the Mets, a feat as astounding they offered him a three year contract.

Frank Wren must be HIGH LIKE KITE to let him go!

no Mets thread next year

no Mets next year

beats the alternative

Mets '10 thread will start during winter meetings, natch.

church was kinda a stiff since brain salad surgery

have fun

Reyes won't be back til 2011 I bet

I think Morbs put it best:

"yes, end-of-season performance don't mean shit, stop listening to Baseball/MLB Tonight."

I don't think there was some bitchy "wakeboarder" running around Carthage

also, Reyes has a new tear in his hamstring.

BB+obligatory.4RBI.HR.Rod

teh best part is that the Nats gave GrandSlam-Rod a free out!

happily, I was watching John Huston's Fat City

Can you believe the Mets were 19-9 in May? You know, when they had their full roster?

Cutting season tix prices, surprise:
