Hopefully now that another team took him his spirit will finally stop dragging this club down.

4/4/2012 1:32:53 PM

Thats a significant difference



Wright and Ike have to be all boned up

[Edited on April 4, 2012 at 7:55 PM. Reason : Fuck Jason Bay...I included him initially but he's just such a worthless sack]

4/4/2012 7:55:00 PM

still wont keep us from losing 95 games

4/4/2012 9:54:54 PM

^Especially when the other teams can hit that fence too

4/5/2012 12:04:35 AM

The Mets rotation is good enough to prevent 95 losses. Part of me hopes Pelfrey blows up so Harvey can get some seasoning this year..

4/5/2012 10:35:47 AM

Johan acting like its 2005!

4/5/2012 2:24:43 PM

If only we could ask him to do that 161 more times.

4/5/2012 4:24:47 PM

Braves offense is complete shit. 3-4 automatic outs in the lineup.

LOL the Mets have the best opening day record of any team in MLB. Something like 39-18 now.

4/5/2012 5:12:05 PM

i didn't even realize the mets played today until i heard it mentioned on the radio. for the first time in a while i'm not at all excited about baseball season...glad we won though

4/5/2012 7:06:22 PM

lol @ booing Bay in his first AB of the season

4/5/2012 9:39:24 PM

Yes some Mets fans suck. On that note, I'll be at the game tmw. One of 12,000 I'm sure.

4/6/2012 9:36:00 AM

Hey man, take some pics for Ernie and I

4/6/2012 9:37:23 AM

Kirk Nieuwenhuis to debut in CF tomorrow. Looks pretty solid on defense, and offense seems decent for AAA, but we'll see how he does against MLB pitching.

4/6/2012 1:24:29 PM

Why is there an off day in the middle of the series?

4/6/2012 2:51:50 PM

In case Opening Day gets rained out

That's pretty much the only chance the Mets get at a sellout this year

4/6/2012 2:52:21 PM

It is like that for almost every team for almost every opening series.

4/6/2012 2:55:13 PM

No shit, Peter Gammons

4/6/2012 2:57:01 PM

Clearly some people don't know.

4/6/2012 3:31:00 PM

2-0, better than I thought they would be at this point.

4/7/2012 4:12:49 PM

^ yep, about two games better than I was expecting.

4/7/2012 5:50:36 PM

same here

4/7/2012 6:40:29 PM

3-0!

4/8/2012 4:37:10 PM

This sounds exciting, if I wasn't in NC this week on vacation I would totally take a bus from Boston to see this game:

Quote :

"The highlight of the Mets' three-game series against Washington figures to be Wednesday's finale, with Johan Santana pitching against Stephen Strasburg. New York is selling $2.50 tickets for that game, to be played on the 50th anniversary of the Mets' debut."

Really enjoyed Citi Field...

And, I hate when we play the Nats. Stupid MASN...

4/9/2012 7:29:30 PM

down 1-0 in the 1st...the first deficit of the season.

[Edited on April 9, 2012 at 7:31 PM. Reason : a]

4/9/2012 7:30:23 PM

wright is now 4 rbi shy of the franchise record held by darryl strawberry

4/9/2012 8:27:15 PM

"the first deficit of the season"

thats kinda like the Twins...except we haven't led all season

4/9/2012 8:28:20 PM

Did the Expressway Visual to 31 on opening day, but missed the game by a couple of hours. Gotta catch a game or two this year.

4/9/2012 10:29:26 PM

4-0, put it in the books

4/9/2012 10:46:33 PM

Certainly a good start and great to see such a young/homegrown team being run out but it's still a very tall order to compete. I will say that comparing rosters with the Braves and I fail to see how that roster is significantly better than ours, even with old man Chipper in there. Lots of what ifs.

4/10/2012 9:26:18 AM

Oh we back!

DW broken finger...

4/11/2012 10:21:42 AM

Quote :

"Facing Cliff Lee, one of the league's best and most consistent pitchers, the Mets twice jumped on mistakes in a 5-2 victory over the Phillies. Jason Bay homered. Scott Hairston homered. And it was R.A. Dickey, not Lee, who furthered his consistency over the past 11 months, submitting his 14th consecutive quality start dating back to last season."

4-0 against teams not from DC

4/14/2012 1:35:55 AM

wright back in the lineup today.

4/14/2012 2:11:38 PM

and homers in his first AB

4/14/2012 4:59:54 PM

Duda has one hell of a swing, but he is a defensive liability. I really like the new kid (Nieuwenhuis).

[Edited on April 15, 2012 at 3:48 AM. Reason : -]

4/15/2012 3:47:23 AM

So I guess the buzz is that the Wilpon's settled because those suing didn't think they'd be able to pay the settlement anyway so it was better to get some than none. Not good news for locking up David Wright long-term. If the second franchise player leaves in a matter of two seasons for simple lack of money then MLB needs to step in like they did with the Dodgers.

4/15/2012 12:12:55 PM

Dillon Gee is part of the Beard Gang

4/16/2012 7:54:20 PM

Can we play them all 162?

4/16/2012 9:43:15 PM

Never thought I'd get to say this but...

way to go Jason Bay.

4/16/2012 11:47:44 PM

down 6-4 to the braves, but wright has 3 RBIs...tying darryl strawberry for the franchise record of 733.

4/18/2012 1:45:37 PM

2 awful starting performances in a row...and we were doing so well...

4/18/2012 3:32:41 PM

Another former Met to throw a no hitter (perfect game). thats 7 former Mets to have thrown a no hitter.



(Mets have never had a player throw a no-hitter

[Edited on April 22, 2012 at 10:09 AM. Reason : f]

4/22/2012 10:08:58 AM

Swept in a double header...6-1, 7-2. Now at .500

4/24/2012 12:47:29 PM

Santana last start - 1.1 IP, 4 ER, 0K
Santana this start - 6.1 IP, 1 ER, 2 BB, 11K

Good to know last week was just a fluke. Reyes 0-4 on his return to NY.

Reyes this season: .215 BA (65 at-bats)
Nieuwenhuis: .327 BA (52 at-bats)

Looks like it is working out for us so far.

4/25/2012 2:39:38 AM

welp...about to get swept by the astros.

5/2/2012 4:19:15 PM

thole left tonight's game after a collision with ty wigginton ,

jordany valdespin first MLB hit a 3 run HR off papelbon to give mets the lead in the top 9.

5/7/2012 10:06:57 PM

Switched back from the Rangers game right as he hit it.

They tried him out in CF this spring, no? Wasn't a natural 2B coming up?

5/7/2012 10:09:23 PM

^I believe that is correct. From his wiki:

Quote :

"He has played every position except for first base and catcher."

5/7/2012 10:14:40 PM

We're now 11-5 vs the rest of the division. Only Washington has a better record but haven't been tested nearly as much (6-2).
