Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Congratulations for making it over .500, at long last. Now let's see if you can stay there long enough to drop below against the Yankees. :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

40-39...quite an accomplishment with the pitching staff we have. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Mets are putting it on the Tigers again this evening. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

wouldn't it be nice to be 5 games over come the 4th of july?

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Another win last night and another slugfest...16-9. My Mets are putting some runs on the board without Wright/Davis. Two games over .500 and in third place. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Well at least it will be a series win.
Verlander is on the top of his game right now.
Mets are going to have a tough time tonight! :2

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

I agree...this will be the night we get shut out.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

I hope so after my Tigs giving up 30 runs in two games. Horrible. JV has been rediculous as of late. I guess that we've expected him to elevate his game to this level. In both of his no-hitters he was threw over 100 in the 9th inning. He has perfect form and he now has command of 4 pitches. I think perfecting his changup is what has helped him take that next step. It's pretty funny watching guys wave at a pitch that is still 5 ft in front of them. Of course you can't blame them; how do you adjust when he can go from 101 down to the mid-80s with the same arm motion & speed.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Verlander tamed our bats today...as we go down 5-2.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

I expected that one yesterday. I really hope they rev up against the skanks today. Only thing worse than a Yankee's fan is a Philly fan. Grampa Jeter will not play thank god, he owns the mets

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Bring on the Yankees!! We're ready!!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Hmm? Mets stink. Hmm?

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

That's the spirit!



Oh, wait . . . you didn't say WHAT you're ready for. :r

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Go Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

We did it, even with Robby sleepin on 3rd.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Yankees got the best of us tonight. If only Neise didn't have the sh*tty first inning.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

And if pigs had wings, we'd all be wearing cowboy hats. -(P


;)

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Go Yankees!!!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Mets drop another one 5-2 to the Yankees and Reyes leaves with tightness in his hamstring. Here we go again.

Good news is the Nationals lost too...so we are still in 3rd place. :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Nats win game two of their DH...we are officially in 4th place. :td :td

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Go Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Reyes (starter) and Beltran (bench) make the NL All Star roster. How did Dillon Gee get passed over?? :confused:

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Mets fight to come back (against Rivera) and win one to avoid the sweep. :tu :tu

And Mets take back possession of 3rd place. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Another win last night...5-2 against the Dodgers. One game over .500. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Mets beat the Dodgers 6-0 last night. :tu

Bay hits two HR and Pelfrey actually pitched 6 shutout innings (it's always the 7th where he blows it). Smart move Terry Collins. :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

My damn Dodgers are stinking it up this year!
Last night hurt, thanks for the knife twist.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Another Mets win against the Dodgers...5-3. Can you say SWEEP!! :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

AAAAGGGGHHHHHHH, suicidal!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Nice job, Mets! The taste of victory is sweet. Let's hope they continue wanting to taste the sweetness.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Reyes going to the DL. :td :td

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Mets get shutout, 6-0, by the Dodgers.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Ouch.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Reyes on the DL could be good for the Mets. Who's gonna want a player that's that prone to injury? When he's healthy, he's amazing. The Mets should take that risk and resign him ASAP.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Wilpon said today that Reyes isn't going to be traded.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Mets score 3 in the top of the 9th to beat the Giants 5-2. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

I was on vacation....come back...Mets over .500....when did that happen?!?

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

With Pelfrey pitching tonight (and down 2-0), worst my Mets can do at the break is 46-45...never would have thought we'd do that with the current pitching staff and with all the injuries. Terry Collins gets my vote for Manager of the Year. :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Beltran gets moved to the starting line-up for tonight as the NL DH. I assume he'll get one AB.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

It's nice to see a Metsie in an All-Star uniform. I hope he gets at least on solid at-bat and represents with a hit. Hell, I'd even take a walk!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Beltran was 1-2 last night.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Mets trade Krod!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Love it!! :tu :tu

For cash and two players...

It was not immediately clear how much cash was involved in Tuesday's trade. It was a significant enough amount that the Commissioner's Office signed off on the deal, Melvin said.

The Mets will choose their players to be named from a list of five Brewers Minor Leaguers by a date in September. Why September? Doesn't help us this year. Better be some young pitchers.


Now he can beat people up in the Brewers Family Room. :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Mets are the ones who sent the cash!

I think they could've gotten more at the deadline.
Players to be named are usually useless!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

This was nothing more than not having to pick-up his option if he appears in 55 games (saved the Mets $ 17.5 million). Complete money saving deal by the Mets. While I understand it, I agree with you Dom....we could have gotten a better deal at the deadline.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Alderson said it was about cash!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

"This trade allows us to develop and more fully utilize other members of our 2011 bullpen and offers some payroll relief as well." Straight from Sandy's mouth.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Fixt! :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Just read that the "sausage mascots" are asking for increased security upon K-rod's arrival...

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

I thought sausage was the official mascot of the SF Giants. :sh

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

RA Dickey and the Mets are getting rocked by the Phillies. Not the way we wanted to start the second half. :td :td
