Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

They also gave the Yanks sole possession of First! :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

You're welcome!!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Yeah yeah yeah. Blah blah blah. :tg

Hmmmmmm. Aha! :D

Oh yeah!!! :su

:lv Heh heh heh.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Two nights in a row!!!! If I had work tomorrow I'd leave early!! You should have taken the bet Mac!!!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Dickey goes to 10-1 in throwing a one hitter. Mets win 9-1. 20 runs in two games??? WOW!!! If I had taken the bet, we would have lost both games by 20. :r :r

And tied for second place...but the Nats keep winning. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

As far as I'm concerned, I seen the Mets 2nd no hitter. That was an error on Wright in first inning.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I agree..but now were even. The ball Beltran hit was clearly fair and called foul. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Nice outing by Dickey! He's been our savior so far this season. The entire team seems to play well when he's on the mound.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets Sweep the Rays!! 29 runs in three games. Not too shabby.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Yeah, and not too shabby how you helped out my Yanks, both in this series and your previous one, up in The Bronx. Thanks. :tu

And you're welcome for our help with the Braves. We'll see if we can give you some more with the Nats starting tomorrow.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Love the sweep of the Rays. Can't say I saw that coming. 29 runs??? The offense woke the hell up in this series.

Now for the whole Mets appealing the call in Dickeys game the other night?? :td :td

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I figure the Mets blew their load down in Tampa.
It wouldn't surprise me if they get shut out the next 10 games. ;)

:D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets drop one to the Reds, 7-3.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Heading to the game tonight. 1 day earlier and I could have seen the free REO Speedwagon post game concert.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Oh and Jason Bay runs into yet another wall and hurts himself. Sure glad we are getting our $ 70 million worth out of him. :td :td

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

And the Mets get swept by the Reds. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I may get stoned for saying this, but thank God for the Yankees!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I doubt anyone will notice! :noon

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

That's just not right. To clarify, the Yanks sweep of Mets NL rival teams has been a welcome relief to the Mets inability to win recent games.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Yeah, my boys have been doing their part to try and help you out (save maybe for blowing a couple of those last games in The Bronx to you :D ), but if you don't help yourself a little there is little more we can accomplish for you.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

R.A. Dickey beat the pants off Baltimore 5-0 (the grand slam by Davis helped a bit, too)! He's now 11-1.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

RA Dickey's having a great year. Seems to be a good man and he's easy to root for.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

RA Dickey is literally unhittable right now. I have never seen entire lineups look so lost against a guy as I have his last 3 starts.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Dickey is the shiz right now.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Dickey pitched another great game last night. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I agree about Dickey, and wondered about the decision to juggle the pitching line against my Yanks. OK, I know the excuse was to give Santana a few extra days's rest after his no-no. But the Yankees are historically bad against junk-ballers, and I felt Dickey was a much greater challenge for them than Johan.

Guess we might find out for sure this weekend, with him pencilled in to oppose C.C.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Thing about Dickey - I wouldn't change the rotation at all around him. He needs to pitch basically every 6th day.

He really isn't a junk baller. I wish love when we throw him in the opener of a series, basically seems to screw a lineup up for days.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Chris, you'd know better than me about Dickey. But he'd be the first knuckler I've ever heard of who truly needed a 6-day rest. Most of them say they can pitch 3 days in a row, if needed. :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I didn't mean he needed rest Tom. I think the Mets want to keep him on his regular day. Remember when the Yankees always made sure Mussina pitched on his normal day, I think that is what the Mets have in mind for Dickey.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Dickey throws his knuckleball a lot faster than any other previous knuckleballers. Topping out at 85 MPH with crazy movement...puzzling hitters, as well as Thole. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets beat the O's 5-0...another shutout. 2nd place all by ourselves and we finally gained a game on the Nats. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Nice win for the good guys! :noon

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I may be a little late, but was anyone sad to see Bay bang his head? I feel bad for him, but glad he's not in the lineup anymore

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I'm pretty disappointed. Bay plays his heart out. He gets a bad rap as a Met because he's been on the DL so much.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I always loved Bob Uecker's line:

It's easy to catch a knuckleball . . . you just wait 'til it stops rolling, then pick it up.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

That was a close one. Mets win 4-3 after Gee had a 1 hitter through most of the game.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Sweeeeeeep!! :wo :wo

Mets tried to give it away in the bottom of the ninth.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Let's see, Mets get :
Swept by the Yanks
Sweep the Rays
Swept by the Reds
Sweep the O's
And now they have 3 coming up against the Yanks again.

Anyone else see a pattern here? :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I'm looking forward to Sunday nights pitching matchup...Dicky vs Sabathia.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Yep....

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Just FYI, here about 35 miles upweather of Citi Field, the sky's a nasty stormy green, with lightning heading from Pennsyltucky-way. Don't be shocked at a rain-delay, since a shock's not nearly as bad as a lighning strike up aside the head.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Now, not 10 minutes later, it's rainin' like a summabich, a real frog-strangler.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

My kind of 1st inning. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Won't be a sweep in this series..at least not by the Evil Empire. Mets beat the Yankees last night 6-4. Cluck you!! :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets piss away a 3-0 lead and lose to the Yankees tonight 4-3. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Like you said, Mac, no sweep. Looking forward to tomorrow's pitching match up.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets drop last nights game, and the series, to the Yankees 6-5. I'm proud of the way they fought back after being down 5-1 though. Damn bullpen blows another one. Why in the hell would Collins leave Batista in for two innings??? :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I didn't get it either!
If you get a scoreless inning out of Batista in a tie game, you can't tempt fate, you have to get him out of there.
I know the pen was in disarray with Francisco out, but doesn't Collins remember The last time he faced Cano?
I'm not sure that ball from Friday has landed yet! :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

At least it wasn't a sweep......

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

We pissed away a lead in game one...tried to give game two away and had a chance in game three.
