The Game
The first-place Mets (83–65) look to turn the page as they kick off a three-game series with the Nationals (66-83) at RFK Stadium this evening, starting at 7:05 pm EDT.
The Lineup
- SS Jose Reyes
- 2B Luis Castillo
- 3B David Wright
- CF Carlos Beltran
- LF Moises Alou
- 1B Shawn Green
- C Paul Lo Duca
- RF Lastings Milledge
- SP Brian Lawrence
The Pitchers
Brian Lawrence (1-2, 6.31 ERA) starts for the Mets. This is his first start since August 27th vs. the Phillies, when he was knocked around for five runs on 10 hits (including two homers) over 4.2 IP. He has allowed 18 runs on 37 hits in 25.2 IP as a Met.
Tim Redding (3-5, 3.42 ERA) takes the hill for the Nats. Redding left the game in the third inning of his last start vs. the Marlins after getting hit on elbow with a batted ball. He has allowed more than three runs in a start only twice this season (out of 12 total starts). In five career appearances vs. the Mets, Redding is 1-0 with a 3.12 ERA. He allowed just one run over six innings against the Mets back on July 28th.
The Notes
The Mets have won five straight games at RFK Stadium.
Shawn Green is 5-for-9 vs. Redding.
According to Elias Sports Bureau, Moises Alou is the oldest player (41 years, 75 days) ever to have a 20-game hitting streak.
Wily Mo Pena is batting .287 with eight homers and 16 RBI in 26 games since joining the Nationals on August 18th.

Let’s keep the errors + walk total under seventeen tonight, and I think we can begin to forget about this last weekend…
lets go mets
I almost think Reyes should be disciplined and sat down today.
07champs, how about single digits (maybe too much to ask with b law on the mound)
Gentlemen this is the homestretch…..and a plethora of games vs aweful…I will repeat, aweful baseball teams.
It’s time to get into wrecking ball mode. I don’t care that Brian Lawrence is pitching tonight. The Mets looked like a single A team yesterday….pretty much all weekend. Time to step it up.
A few bloggers (who I can’t stand) on here, had the gaul and audacity to post comments after yesterdays game layering a sweet sweet layer of sugar over everything. A nicely glazed donut if you will. That my friend….is a blind, and stupid Mets fan. Ah yes…we’re in first, and we’ll be fine. You think Willie Randolph is rubbing off on them?!?
I’m by no means saying don’t support the team. I do…and I’ll be watching tonight. But after this weekends debacle we are ALL allowed to speak out and call it like it is….and that was an aweful and inexcusable weekend of baseball.
A few things I want to see:
NO goddamn errors.
No goddamn Mota in ANY spot. Let him sit in the dugout and pick up the gatorade cups. I wouldn’t let him pitch for my softball team. He’s a disgrace to the uniform.
And last but not least….some BLOW OUTS. Is that to much to ask for vs these amazing Nat pitchers? How bout a few laughers…so our pen can pitch with ease, and we can show our muscle.
Other good teams seem to do it often…why not the Mets?
Double digits tonight boys.
Brian Lawrence tonight. Not exactly stopper material. I hoped to have seen the last of him.
Tim Redding has a career ERA of 5. If the Mets can’t produce that amount of runs off him and get to their bullpen…..shame on them.
This game is on the bats, not Brian Lawrence.
They havn’t cracked more than 5 on the scoreboard in a week and a half. Yesterdays game doesn’t count…because I’ve deleted it from my memory.
What worried me is that we are playing bad teams. We can loose just as fast as we can win. Tonight we had a 4-0 lead and now we are tied. If we loose and the Phillies win it down to 3. We cant afford to let any game slip away from us. I just dont have th faith and confidence in this team to beleive we can do that, Im sorry. I hope we do, but, I have a nagging voice in th eback of my head thats waiting for the big game to get away as we slip out of first…..
Why is Lawrence starting and not Pelfrey or Humber? It’s a very simple question, and I want to know Willie’s answer. If the answer is anything other than “because I believe he gives us the best chance to win the game” then fire him. If the answer is “He gives us the best chance to win” fire him anyway, because that answer is false.
ENOUGH.
It’s because Pelfrey is pitching Wednesday and Humber has been more or less shut down for the year.
I agree with you. However, I’ve known Willie is a moron for a whlie now..so its not a shock.
I hope the Mets get the W, but I also hope Lawrence gets smashed. This way…it just furthers how truly dumb Willie Randolph is.
I want him gone ASAP….so the more things against him the better. He’s simply an aweful manager for the national league.
Willie Randolph wouldn’t argue a call if the ump insulted his family. It’s pathetic.
i’ve read your posts. you’re not in a position to call willie “dumb” or “moron.” to quote omar “you know what i’m saying”
beltran blast! bet you think he’s soft.
looks like willie motivated his 1st place boys tonight
If you think Willie Randolph is a good National League manager….well, I feel bad for you.
“it wasnt humbers day” lol willies a moron
Brian Lawrence on the mound for a bounceback game is a depressing thought. Almost as depressing as this past weekend.
The Yankees used Chamblerlain, Hughes and Kennedy. We bring up Humber and his only role is to follow Aaron Sele in blowouts.
Brian Lawrence is a total rag arm. Humber should have gotten this start.
It looks like the Mets have decided to try and bounce back.
Too bad we don’t face the Nats in the playoffs.
LETS GO METS! Willie better send Manny a Christmas card for putting Redding out there!
I just saw this on ESPN.com…the 100 players we love to hate… how is Benitez not on this list?
METS DIVISION
37. Doug Sisk, New York Mets: So hated that a fan once sent him a mock prescription for cyanide, “to be taken daily.”
38. Dave Kingman, New York Mets and everywhere else: Actually a pretty good hitter in his 16 seasons with the Giants, Mets, Padres, Angels, Yankees, Cubs, Mets (again) and A’s. But fans let him have it for every one of his 1,816 career strikeouts.
39. George Foster, New York Mets: Blamed for the Mets’ largesse after the team gave him a fat contract before the 1982 season, hoping to recapture his 52-homer form and ignoring his advancing age and falling numbers. His attitude didn’t help: Foster used to roll up to the stadium for games in a stretch limo.
40. Roger Cedeno, New York Mets: Reader Jon Harpula’s take on Cedeno: “A fat man’s Juan Pierre.”
41. Vince Coleman, New York Mets: So many reasons for hatred to choose from, but I’m going to go with this 1991 quote: “I don’t know nothing about no Jackie Robinson.” Actually Vince, that should be, “I don’t know anything about Jackie Robinson.” Please work on your grammar.
AP Photo
They’re not booing, they’re chanting … actually, yes, they’re booing.
42. Bobby Bonilla, New York Mets and other places: Wore earplugs to the plate to drown out the boos that greeted him for every at-bat.
43. Braden Looper, New York Mets: Blow late-inning leads, get booed in Queens.
44. Mel Rojas, New York Mets: Blow late-inning leads when you’re carrying extra poundage, and you get booed a lot in Queens.
45. Guillermo Mota, New York Mets: Blow late-inning leads even when you’re juicing, then return and post an ERA near six, and you might want to ask for a trade.
46. Kazuo Matsui, New York Mets: Expected to improve the Mets’ offense and shore up their defense, Matsui instead stank at all facets of the game. Bonus points for turning his career around now that he’s out of New York.
I take this back… Armando got voted into the Multi-Team Offender category.
what’s up everyone…Let’s Go Mets!!
Did anyone hear Keith Hernandez’s comment after Shawn Green’s homerun. “He was all over it like a rash.” Gotta love it.
During the stretch run it should be illegal for MLB.TV to show the “not in contention” broadcast. I miss SNY already!
I second that!! These nationals guys might as well be sleeping for all the energy they bring to this game.
Said it before, saying it again…Brian Lawrence is a total rag arm. This 4th inning is a classic example. The man stinks.
starting to miss their low energy commentary ..
Tie game – is anyone surprised?
not very. now with sele coming in, game is pretty much over. Go CARDS.
..and I bet we see Mota before the night is done – might as well cap off the night right.
It should also be illegal for Lawrence to pitch again for this team
Terrific job by Brian Lawrence. Blew a 4-0 lead in 1 inning.
Here comes Sele. I can’t wait. This game might outscore the Giants-Redskins next week.
well we knew it would be a shoot out with good old brian “im outta here once some other team gives me a major league contract” lawrence…..sorry brian dont think thatll happen anytime soon
Absolutely sickening. This game is over.
you’re right, your resolve is absolutely sickening.
I’m sorry – I must have missed the voting that elected you the fan police.
hmm now that was sickening
no policing here, just commenting. Never questioned the right to say whatever, but that won’t stop me..
Knock yourself out – enjoy the game.
heh .. not likely at this point, is it?
You tell me – you are the fan police :)
heh touche .. guess we’re all bound to be a little touchy eh?
can someone tell me when we hit rock bottom?
Yeah, I agree…I am just so pissed off over tonite. I am a Met fan since way way back when and this is a senseless shameful game.
Didn’t mean to be arrogant. Just pissed off and fans are expressing their frustrations, and at this point, rightfully so. We are so better than this but we literally have stunk the last few games and handed games over on a silver platter. We beat ourselves. You cannot deny that….Now Look at this – Playing the Nats and we are on our 6th pitcher. Phils winning their game. Just total shame.
Please get this bum out of there. Lawrence stinks to high heaven. Bring in Humber, who should have started. This is sickening.
we can’t catch a break
And tell me why Lawrence got the start while we do not even try out Humber? Maybe he would be no better but here we have aknown entity.
Who would of thought Lawrence was going to suck. Why in the hell is he pitching?
who scores more tonight the redskins or the nationals?
here we go again!
Oh, Ok, Aaron Sele. That oughta stop the bleeding. What will it take for Willie to use Humber. First Lawrence, then Seele and I guess Mota will soon follow. Nice choices, Willie.
I guess we could try and sign Lima’ he’s be the perfect complement to Lawrence, Sele and Mota. The offense better deliver tonight.
I am so surprised that Brian Lawrence aka Jose Lima even made it to the 4th inning. Once again GREAT GOING Pea Brain Willie for starting this loser. How come the Skankees start their great pitching prospects against the better teams win. There is no excuse that Humber should have not started this game against the lowly Nats. If this guy was so good why did the Padres give him up and no other team claim him off of waivers. They are going to lose again tonight and there is only one person to blame and that is Pea Brain Willie. Here comes another great move, bring in Sele , you might as well throw in the towel and take the loss. Oh yeah let me explain how he got that name:
When Pea Brain Willie was born they only didnot smack his parents, God was giving out Brains and he thought God said Pain so he told God give me a little. Thats how he got the name Pea Brain Willie. Once again I am going to repeat my comments from Yesterday. P.B.Willie is a disgrace to the word manager. He needs to go. HEY FRED Open your eyes he is ripping you off!!!!
That looked like Met baserunning.
Everyone just calm down, this is still the Nationals…they are who we thought they were…lol
aaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!!! now that was funny. thanks for the comic relief.
Wow! Sele throws the perfect pitch…A slightly wild one!
eh i mean the game is tied when lawrence leaves (granted he didnt even go 4 innings) thats the least we could ask for
It won’t matter Sele will be in a jam immediately in the next inning.
i love how these nat broadcasters say “well if you mean ALL AROUND” when you compare ramirez and reyes and the words “defense” “glove” or “fielding” were never mentioned.
metman1964 – I think you may be going a little light on PBW
Just got in to watch this debatacle. I’m not surprise they figured him out. What took them this long. Please no more Lima clones
Haha….what do you mean? All they need is for Brian Lawrence to get in a nice little groove. A nice little rhythem.
Lawrence will be fine ; )
P.S this is where the Mets roll over and die.
Could HoJo ask Reyes to stop that stupid uppercut? He has had nothing since June
fantastic.
stupid brian lawrence
two things…where is humber did I miss something and he is hurt? and jose has gotta stop with this pop up stuff..i am no hitting coach nor will i ever be but someone has to notice something in his swing that is resulting in this..a hitch, drop of the wrists, shoulder??
Bottom 5th starting and Sele will crumble now.
I’ve loved this team for 45 years but this season they make me nuts. They start a rag arm, blow a 4 run lead in a flash and now they look like triple A hitters against a guy with 7 lifetime innings in the majors. I can’t stand the friggin pain. And now we have to ask Aaron Sele to hold them scoreless. This is living hell.
Just curious….isn’t there some other pitcher in the Mets organization that gives them a better chance to win than Brian Lawrence?
I mean…Lawrence isnt a major league pitcher. He should be on the Long Island Ducks. There HAS to be someone else.
Ahhh this is where the Mets lose the lead for good.
I’ve seen this movie before.
there are better pitchers but shhhhh dont tell willie or omar.
Willie’s gut told him to go with Lawrence.
Willie, thanks for starting Lawrence today. Let me guess, we can’t blame Willie. We have to blame Lawrence for just not being good enough. Or we have to blame Omar for signing him. You come off getting swept and start maybe the worst starter on your 40-man roster. Brilliant. I hope that gut keeps up the good work!
LOL…..add it to the Willie time capsule for Reasons to Get the hell off the Mets.
Frankly…we may need a 2nd time capsule. This one is becoming quite full.
yea i don’t understand the logic with this one at all. Why did we even call humber up? so he can chat with the vets during games while watching other vets suck it up i mean lawrnce has been around u kno wat ur gonna get meanwhile we got humber a “prospect” up as well but he doesnt get a chance.. much liek so many of u elude to he cant do much worse than this
Is it bad that I’m rooting for the Cards??
Ditto
Sele is a long man’s Mota
What bothers me is that I got tickets to game one of the NLDS and the Mets may not even make it. We are getting beat tonight and with Pelfry pitching it looks like we will drop 2 here and then what? What is wrong with tis team? They play like a steaming pile of crap and they dont deserve to even be on the field. Im sick of that old we are still in frist place thing. Thats only because the Phillies choked, what makes anybody think that will happen again? I cant watch this CRAP any longer. Bases loaded and we are down 4-5 the Phillies are ahead and I have had enough.
Here we go again..
I got $20 the Mets don’t take the lead for the rest of this game.
1) Brian Lawrence
2) Aaron Sele
Personel that doesn’t exist on a playoff ballclub.
Are you getting this Willie? Are you getting this Omar?
Wake up. This game is on the management.
Game over! Willie for Manager of the Year!
Shhhh….there are fans on this board that actually still support this brain dead retard carcus of a manager.
You don’t want to hurt their feelings.
Thanks, Sele, you turd.
Let’s see Mota ,Lawrence, Sele, Show and take Rick Peterson with you D F A………………….
WHERE IS PHIL HUMBER!?!
This is BP.
Look at Mr. Excitement in the dugout. We’ll just have to turn the page on this game, they are a good team, young guys just trying hard. Just another game, we’ll get em tomorrow.
Give me a break
SOOO TRUE.YOU HIT IT ON THE HEAD
can sele even be considered a long man if he cant go more than 1 inning w.o giving up runs?
Good point – something to think about as he leaves the game :)
maybe our bullpen will come through tonight…
Listen guys, you can’t blame Sele or Lawrence on this one. They don’t belong on a playoff team. They DEFINITELY do not belong in a pennant race. Neither does Mota. We can definitely blame Omar for signing them, but we have to also blame Willie for USING them. You have a 40-man roster at this point…don’t give me the excuse of who else can we use. Someone has to be held accountable, and it can’t be players that lack sufficient talent (even if you are playing the nationals).
I agree that Willie and Omar deserve the crap for this game. There is no way coming off the Phillie series that you pitch a useless rag arm like Lawrence. He is a complete and utter waste. And Sele, geez, what else can you say about this guy?
THE METS WILL GO NOWHERE IN OCTOBER BECAUSE THIS BULLPEN CANNOT PROTECT ANYTHING.
IT WILL NOT PROTECT. IT HASN’T ALL YEAR.
PRINT SCREEN THIS, SAVE IT TO YOUR DESKTOP. TAKE A PICTURE OF IT.
THE DEMISE OF THE 2007 METS. THE ENTIRE BULLPEN.
Maybe Omar will work a little harder next year.
Does anyone remember when it was 0-2 on Willie Mo Pena?
Based loaded now…unfrigginbelievable. Who’s next, Willie, Mota?
Come on Willie. Put Mota in..He’s your guy remember?
This game is over. Sele and Lawrence have no business on this team.
its only a 1 run deficit in the 5th inning we can clearly comeback from this we just need schoenweis to get this out
I have a better chance of getting promoted tomorrow.
Sweeeeet I’m getting promoted!
Are you high? It was just 4-0 5 minutes ago. This pitching staff is awful. No reason one of the worst lineups in baseball should put together a rally like this. There is no reason Lawrence or Sele should even be inside the DC beltline tonight. This is pathetic.
Another loss for Willie.
Different opponent…same story
Bobby Valentine….please please please come back and coach this team. The Mets would be in fist by 15 games I swear.
I can’t watch Willie Randolph and his stupid stoic composed BS anymore. He’s a damn Yankee 3rd base coach.
Not a smart strategic N.L manager. He’s just not.
Btw…are any of you fans getting tired of Willie’s broken record post games? No matter what happens in the game…it’s the same speech. We deserve better.
I hear you bro…It’s makes me sick!
Wow, Skankenweiss comes through!
What do you mean the same speech? We just have to turn the page. This is just a tough game and we didn’t get any breaks. Gotta play a bit better, we just have to turn the page. Long season.
Yeah, someone please tell Willie it is a 162 game season, not a 192 game season.
hahahah post of the night right there.
Seriously, if I see Mota at all tonight, I might actually pass out.
Now the Mets won’t score for the rest of the game.
Mota will be in next inning…
I would rather Heilman.
Mota blows it slow and painfully with walks.
Heilman just lets up a bomb after walking the leadoff man.
It’s a much quicker kill.
LOL!!! Your are right on the button.
We will win this game, until then I will continue to enjoy reading all these fair-weather fan postings
Don’t confuse realism with fair-weatherism my friend ; )
It’s the 6th inning. What Met pitcher do you expect to hold a one-run deficit at this point in the game? I can’t think of one unless it’s someone I haven’t seen pitch yet this year.
Well, then Humber would fit that category since we never see him!
Never thought I’d say this, but here goes: “Nice job, Show.” Now the bats MUST strike back immediately…IMMEDIATELY.
With my refund on my NLCS tickets, I will be more than happy to buy Bobby V a ticket from Japan to come back and coach this team to the talent level it deserves. I don’t give a crap if none of his players want to see him after the 20th game, as long as they go out and take their frustrations on the opposing starting pitcher.
HEY METMACHINE: DID YOU READ MY COMMENTS ABOVE, IF NOT LET ME REPEAT FOR YOU!!!
I am so surprised that Brian Lawrence aka Jose Lima even made it to the 4th inning. Once again GREAT GOING Pea Brain Willie for starting this loser. How come the Skankees start their great pitching prospects against the better teams win. There is no excuse that Humber should have not started this game against the lowly Nats. If this guy was so good why did the Padres give him up and no other team claim him off of waivers. They are going to lose again tonight and there is only one person to blame and that is Pea Brain Willie.

Once again I am going to repeat my comments from Yesterday. P.B.Willie is a disgrace to the word manager. He needs to go. HEY FRED Open your eyes he is ripping you off!!!!
Haha I read it man. I’m not a big fan of the word “Pea Brain” but I hear you loud and clear. He’s bad.
Guys, is there any realistic chance we get rid of Willie? I can’t imagine there is, but a guy can dream, can’t he.
I think so….IF they miss the playoffs, or get eliminated in the first round. Otherwise no.
But we all know he has to go. Hes not an N.L manager. He doesn’t get it.
But its politics….and he’s probably here for a while unfortunately.
Politics huh….where does Willie stand on the war do you know?
Maybe he’s here a while because since he has had the job the Mets have won, nah that’s not it.
Navy-vet, I am no fair weather fan. I have been a Met fan since 1962. I loive and die with this team. But I have a right to get disgusted by lousy performance…by both players and management. There is NO REASON to have started Lawrence when we have Humber on the roster. No reason. At all.
It is indensible that Lawrence is on this roster, much less pitching a bounceback game after the Philly debacle. Shame on Willie for using him and on Omar for acquiring him.
Chiefman,
Navy is a blind mets fan. He’s the same guy who was pulling positives out of yesterdays game.
Critique the Mets AT ALL and he’s here to defend.
You’re right, when was the last time you said anything positive about this team?
Prior to this weekends horror show.
I believe the negatives as of late are well deserved.
If you can’t take the heat…get off the blog.
Lawrence hasn’t been terrible this year but he’s definitely not the guy to use in this situation. After Pelfrey’s last couple games there was no reason not to give him the nod tonight. Lawrence should have been given an early winter vacation.
Lawrence hasn’t been terrible this year? He had a 6.31 ERA coming into this game. You consider that not terrible?
Here’s what I just can’t get over. Time after time this year, other teams’ hitters have inflicted major damage on Met pitching with the count 0-2. And runs have scored in droves against the Mets after two outs have already been recorded. And when the Mets stake themselves to an early lead, they suddenly lose the ability to score more runs.
My point? There’s a pattern here.
When they feel they have the upper hand, when they’re in the driver’s seat, they just lose their intensity. It’s also what’s happened to their season: they grabbed the lead and then started to coast.
I’m no psychologist, but it’s beginning to seem like a team affliction. Once ahead, they can’t close the deal.
A clear sign of bad managing. Willie’s laid back attitude reeks of this mentality. Mets have a chance to put the division away and they take a giant dump against the Phillies. I’ve thought all year that dropping to 2nd would be good for this team. Too bad they haven’t.
Mr. Met is in the Deal or no Deal crowd
Wow, are we really about to lose to the Nationals while the Phillies take care of business.
Thanks again to Omar Minaya for putting together a bullpen that is so steller, so steller I throw up at the sight of each new RP brought into the game.
im on gameday was wrights error a tough one?
No, it was a routine ground ball that went under his glove. He makes that play 999 out of 1000 times.
Don’t forget to thank Willie for starting Lawrence today.
Not this again…
The real deal is right here
HAHAHAHAHAH THIS TEAM SHOULD CHANGE ITS NAME TO THE BAD NEWS METS.
Tonight marks the turn.
Phillies are going to win the division….mark my words.
not at all it was to his left the ball stayed down and went under his glove, another steller defensive game gentleman
*gentlemen
thanks
Wow…she’s gone from suck to blow.
Can someone please,please explain this Met team to me????
You have to have faith in your guys. Its a long season!
Anyone else want to join me in banging my head against the wall?
Very simple. They are an average team in a terrible league.
Right now though…they are a terrible team.
MORE ERRORS PLEASE!
we’re in first place, man. everything is great!
If the Mets somehow miss the playoffs by 1 game, this will be the game to look back on as to where it was lost. After the Phillies sweep with only 14 left to play, you don’t start Brian Lawrence. You just can’t do it.
How about all the blown leads by the bullpen? I can name 10 games to look back on.
Hey baby….I prefer blow ; )
umm why cant any of these pitchers make a throw to a base without throwing it away?
Wow! We are done. Did anyone else just see Willie smile at the ump when he was making the double switch?
We’re about to blow this division…. Willie brings in one bad pitcher after another and now we can’t even play defense… What is going on with this team? We’re choking….. Seriously choking
WOW…I’m at a loss for words….great effort tonight gentlemen…Oh, and Willie, I hope you lose your job…starting Brian Lawrence tonight, absolute joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there is no reason in this world why brian lawrence started today. please, willie, throw out anyone else. this is a game you absolutely need. we are in playoff mode right now and every game is now a must-win. please, anyone, beltran, wright, reyes, get something going for us.
Game over. Unbelievable how this team and this manager responds when they are getting punched in the mouth.
ok so the phillies are winning 6-0 so we officially have to win this game to avoid what appears to be alot of met fans jumping off high places tomorrow.
I cant watch anymore.C-ya ta-morra
Philadelphia is going to laugh in our face for years to come. I’ve been optimistic up to now, but this is horrific and this is the way it has been for the last three games. It was our Pennant to lose and we lost it. . . badly
Jesus H Christ! Phillies are up 6-0.
Here is why the collapse is good boys.
The Mets, even if they make the playoffs are going nowhere this year. NO damage to be done. They pitching isn’t good enough.
So…we waste a playoff bid OR choke horribly…and Randolph is banished after the season ends.
I’d like a fresh start in 2008 without Randolph. Anyone agree?
“waste” a playoff bid? what does that even mean? Is there some sort of limit on playoff appearances??
I can’t watch this anymore……………The singing bee is better
i know that its an awful thing to say but i’m almost hoping that the Mets blow this lead…. They don’t deserve to win… The Phils are playing wtih heart and the Mets are just playing scared and we have without a doubt the worlds worst manager. Willie… WHAT THE #$$% ARE YOU DOING TO MY TEAM? Sosa is about to give up some runs…. He sucks just like everyone else in the bully… getting behind on all of his counts..
NOW HE USES THE DOUBLESWITCH?!?!
Double switch with DeFelice???????? Willie has to go.
We’re witnessing perhaps the most painfull collapse in NY Mets history. Mr. Cerrone, you were right, expect the heartache, because it’s right around the corner!
PAGING BOBBY VALENTINE!
PLEASE RETURN TO SHEA.
With my refund on my NLCS tickets, I will be more than happy to buy Bobby V a ticket from Japan to come back and coach this team to the talent level it deserves. I don’t give a crap if none of his players want to see him after the 20th game, as long as they go out and take their frustrations on the opposing starting pitcher.
oh yeah because he made alomar, cedeno, burnitz, matsui, vaughn, dmacio, benitez, ect ect to realize their full potenital right?
Attention Must Be Paid: This is no ordinary slump. Teams with championship aspirations do not play like co-ed beer league softball teams at this point in the season. Something has got to give. Something!! People need to stop apologizing for these guys. There is something extremely amiss here.
I’m about to watch Monday Night Football. I honestly get physically sick watching this team…. and besides i have the FLU. The Phils are up 6-0 and we’re sitting here battling the NATS… Time to change the channel….Im gonna puke…I HATE THE METS!!!!!
They arent battling the Nats….their getting dumptrucked by the Nats.
If I was Gary Cohen and Keith…I’d put the mic down, take off my SNY polo….and go to the closest D.C bar, and startin knockin back Jaeger bombs.
can we fire willie now?..light a fire under this team
Anyone else want to start a fire Willie Randolph petition?
LET’S START THAT PETITION! I CAN’T WATCH THESE GUYS ANYMORE AND ITS KILLIN ME…
WHY IS SOSA IN HERE? CAN SOMEONE ANSWER ME WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CHOKE DOING ON THE MOUND?
Kieth said to much nibbling and they need to through gas. Rick Peterson sucks too, lets release him
Lead off walk, Wright error, Show error resulting in two runs and Willie double switches DeFelice into the game? Castro is on the active roster and can hit. DeFelice can’t. Move makes zero sense. Mystifying.
Unfortunately someone has already purchased firewillierandolph.com.
can we take out like a full page add in a newspaper or something? I mean this is embarrassing… They will choke this lead… i can see it in their eyes… What about fire Randolph.com or what about firethemetsbullpen.com?
anything to shake these Bad News Bears Up!!
Who double-switches their catcher in the 6th? WTF? So basically Willie just told Paul either a)you can’t hit or b)you can’t call a game
willie is optimistic. he thought he could get more than one inning out of sosa
Here are some stats as to why the Phils will conquer the NL East and win it. Their hitting is far superior then the METS. Remember METS stands for MY ENTIRE TEAM SUCKS..
AVG: P-277 VS M 273
HRS P-191 VS M 161
HITS P 1449 VS M 1389
RUNS P 820 VS M 717
DOUBLES P 309 VS M 267
RBI P 782 VS M 680
TB P 2401 VS M 2188
SLG % P 459 VS M 420
Great play by Sosa!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
THE Mets make the bad news bears look good!
Yeahhhhh for mental mistakes!
DIVISION = OVER.
Congrats early Phils.
schonweiss, and now sosa… oh my God we’re the Bad News Bears.. 3 errors in like a few minutes….
how u think manuel would be as interim manager?
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO JUST TAKE THE OUT AT FIRST?
all smiles Willie Randolph chose to pitch Brian Lawrence on a day when the mets needed a win in the worst way. Just don’t get this anymore. I just don’t…
If they don’t come out of this road trip taking 2 out of 3 from both cellar dwellers I’m going to make 500 shirts/bumper stickers/ posters all dedicated to Firing Willie… Its on at Shea the last week if he doesn’t pull these guys together
I turned it off, this is pathetic….LOL….almost comical. PS- Beltransmole, great screen name! Love it…
Castillo doesn’t cover second and Sosa makes the bonehead throw to the plate. Is there any end in sight to this disgraceful play? Blind loyalists, please stop making excuses for this horrendous exhibition. And three more innings to go. What other crap awaits us?
I’m with you, can we get 50,000 people to go to Shea after we get eliminated to chant “Fire Willlie” the duration of a 3-hour ballgame?
HEY Darth Hernandez SEND ME A DOZEN OF THOSE BUMPER STICKERS. I WILL BE POSTING THEM ALL OVER!!! POST ONE ON THE DOORS TO SHEA AND TO THE DOORS OF SNY AND WILPONS OFFICE
HOW BOUT DURING POST GAME LIVE AT THE WINDOW INFACT EVERYONE SHOULD GO TO SNY STUDIOS TONIGHT WITH SIGNS THAT SAY FIRE WILLE! PLEASE I CANT BECAUSE IM IN LONGISLAND BUT PLZ ANY1 IN NYC DO THAT
Lawrence, Sele and now DeFelice…it’s triple A night for the first place team in the NL East. Watch, the first pinch hitter Willie uses will be Newhan. That would cap off the night.
Navy_Mets…..tell me they are still good. Tell me its gonna be fine. Im waiting!!
Oh P.S….the fact that someone bought http://www.firewillierandolph.comis downright hilarious. Good man.
Nats worst offense in baseball. 8 runs on the Mets through 6.
This team has no chance in October anyway.
They are still good, however, right now…they are bad. Thank god the season doesn’t end tomorrow.
They need to start working on this website! Someone needs to reach out to this guy.. or lets get another one.. Isn’t someone out there an internet geek? We’ve gotta take the bull by the horns!
Nah, Willie won’t pinch hit, citing “Sosa was due at the plate” with the bases loaded and 2-outs….he is the worst manager EVER.
once david wright makes a costly mistake, you know things are going bad
Three runs in, bases loaded and there is still not a hit in this inning.
cohen’s comments regarding willie are even beginning, he must hate willie
Boys, stick your morphine in thigh now.
It’s about to get worse.
Oh, and I’d also like bumper stickers.
SOSA F@#$$ STINKS…. WHY IS HE STILL IN THERE? WHY ISN’T HE DEMOTED AFTER THAT HR TO DOBBS YESTERDAY? WILLIE HAS TO GO… WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND SERIOUSLY DO SOMETHING… HE’S GARBAGE AND IM SWEATING, AND MY BP IS GOING UP WATCHING THIS #$$ GAME… WHY THE HELL IS SOSA STILL IN THERE???? TAKE HIM THE #$#$ OUT!
Holy crap dude…..relax. Go get a Poland Spring.
This collapse is a blessing in disguise. It could mean next year we dont see this meatstick for a manager in the dugout.
I’ll take Bobby V with a fake mustache anyday!
in response to that post. where exactly would you demote sosa to? considering the fact that all the minor league teams seasons are finished…
Haha, I hope that website picks up steam….he’s GOTTA GO. Bring in anyone…ANYONE…..
fire willie, hes so silly! HEHEHHEEHHEHEHEHHE
A f—ing chimp from the Bronx Zoo is10 times better.
Matt has “In Omar we Trust” t-shirts….first of all, stop. Get them out of here. Let’s get this site to sell “Fire Willie” bumper stickers and T-Shirts with reggies miller’s face above a Mets’ logo making the choke sign.
In the beginning of this game I said how the Mets need to hit double digits tonight.
I think the Nats were spying on my post : )
IT’S OVER GUYS…. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT WE’RE GOING TO BLOW THIS DIVISION…. I DON’T CARE ABOUT WHO’S LOYAL, AND WHO’S THIS AND THAT…. DON’T KID YOURSELF… WE AINT GOING ANYWHERE IN OCTOBER WITH THIS MESS…..
I JUST KNEW WE COULDNT FINISH THE DP I SWEAR THIS IS MY LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM, ONE PLAYER MAKES AN ERROR THEN EVERYONE GOT AN ERROR, THE DIFFERENCE IS MY MANAGER WOULD VERBALLY ABUSE US OH WELL
hey, how many games up on the Padres are we for the wild card? 2 heading into tonight?
Omar looked sad. No vacation for you this winter!!
Either Omar just drank himself into a stupor (looked like his eyes were shut) or he’s the one that bought the firewillie.com domain.
omar’s gonna be pissed when somebody wakes him up and tells him what happened that inning
It gets worst folks…after we either miss or early eliminated from the playoffs, here’s what we’re looking at for next year:
Positional Players:
Alou – probably retiring
Delgado – rapid age/injury related decline
Lo Duca – free agent
(continuned below this)
Pitching:
Glavine – either retired or another year older
Pedro – jury is still out
El Duque – one year older, injuries
Maine/Perez – too inconistent to be considered anything other than a 4/5 in the rotation.
(continued)
I’ve never really shown much frustration with the team, but the way the defense has been playing is absolutely pathetic and frustrating. I can’t figure out how a team that has been among the best defenses in baseball the majority of the year have a string of games like this.
Unbelievable.
Omar was surfing the web in search of a new manager.
Not only is this game over, but we will get swept in this series as well. I’m not trying to be negative just realistic. I love this team, but damn!
Nah, I think we will bounce back tomorrow. It was an uphill battle from the beginning of this game since we started Brian Lawrence.
If anyone makes those bumper stickers, let me know…I’ll have you send me a few. I will plaster them all over Queens and Shea walls, benches, ground, the train station, the SNY studio.
EVERYWHERE.
This team certainly blows…..but SO DOES WILLIE!
We need to take this to another level… Anyone here good at web design.. We need a campaign on all fronts.
The sad part is that I wanted to buy FireWillieRandolph today, but it was gone. I definitely want to start a blog. He’s an awful manager…and on top of it, he has been a dick to my kid 2 years in a row. That just the cherry on top of this disaster.
I check that over a month ago and it had been taken.
ok we NEED to get some runs back this inning ABSOLUTELY DESPERATELY NEED to get some runs back right now and get SOME momentum in our favor.
dude, the game is over.
what planet do you live on?
go have an eskimo pie or something.
HOW BOUT DURING POST GAME LIVE AT THE WINDOW INFACT EVERYONE SHOULD GO TO SNY STUDIOS TONIGHT WITH SIGNS THAT SAY FIRE WILLE! PLEASE I CANT BECAUSE IM IN LONGISLAND BUT PLZ ANY1 IN NYC DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got the solution to saving this team.
Move Delgado to the bullpen. I bet he has no hit stuff!
Alllriiiiight……..haha, we’re down five with 3 Inn left….and this team doesn’t have heart to come back……
Now he PH for Defelice???????? Does Willie know what the reason for double switch is???????????
No he doesnt, he just showed that he has no faith in LoDuca
WOW, HE PULLS A DOUBLE SWITCH AND PINCH HIT FOR DEFELICE? IM NOT WATCHING ANYMORE.. BUT WILLIE OBVIOUSLY KNOWS NOTHING… HE’S A CLOWN, AND HE MUST HAVE BEEN WATCHING TOO MANY EPISODES OF THE BRONX IS BURNING AND GOTTEN A LITTLE FULL OF HIMSELF… HE FLAT OUT SUCKS…. PEOPLE, LETS GET THIS RALLY GOING… WILLIEMUSTGO… WILLIEMUSTGO, WILLIEMUSTGO!!!!
I don’t know if team meetings accomplish anything. I don’t know if yelling at people for lousy performancr accomplishes anything. But I hope Willie has a meeting and screams at these guys for their utterly lousy play. Then I hope Willie yells at himself for using Brian Lawrence and at Omar for acquiring the bum.
Now Gotay pinch hits for DeFelice, who was double-switched out for LoDuca…what the hell is Willie thinking about?
we can start this at Cafe press… They’ll make everything we need.. If anyone is really good with Photoshop or has nice high resolution pics of Willie please let me know.. I can put something together tonight…
<—designer.
fortunately i live out here in So. Cal. and worst case scenario i get to see the Padres as wildcard.. The Padres at least play defense and have a pitching staff. This Mets team reminds me of the 1986 New York Jets that started out 10-1 and lost the last 5 games of the season and limped like a wounded dog into the playoffs. I’m going to start paying attention to the Padres a lot more.. THE METS ARE GOING NOWHERE!!!
wait why is he pinch hitting for the guy he double switched into the game? ok and i dont mean to offend anyone but willie has officially entered mentally challenged territory
mentally challenged? at the cost of sounding politcally incorrect… the guy is freaking RETARDED! He has no business being a big league mgr. in NY…
hahahahh nice job willie u use 2 ctachers for an ab for gotay now the immortal sandy almomar(not up for his dad i swear) will be in there
I know it’s the most frustrating part….that we have no voice really except blog outlets like this to voice our displeasure with Willie…..
go to sny studios tonight and show a sign to fire willie at the window……….
Or, the next homestand – I’d like to see dozens of “Fire Wilie ‘Went With My Gut’ Randoph” signs at Shea.
While we’re at it, how about some “Omar, thanks for ruining the great pen, y’know what I’m sayin?” signs.
Wow giving up 4 runs wothout the ball leaving the infield is hard to do!
Wait….why is Gotay in now?
Is this a prank? What happened to DeFelice?
Oh, I would my friend, but I too, am in Long Island.
Phils now up 7-0.. and this on the road against a team fighting to make the playoffs…as we are getting spanked by the wirst team in the league.
The only positive in all this is is that things have sunk so friggin low they can only get better. Or at least i hope so.
Willie happened to DiFelice.
The sad part is that I wanted to buy FireWillieRandolph today, but it was gone. I definitely want to start a blog. He’s an awful manager…and on top of it, he has been a dick to my kid 2 years in a row. That just the cherry on top of this disaster.
Is there anything else that we can start? what about just firewillie? that’s pretty self explanatory…. someone needs to get this freaking ball rolling…. HE IS BLOWING MY OCTOBER!!!
FireWillie is selling pornographic t-shirts, which explains why I couldnt get to it from work.
I think it can be considered “lower” when we lose the division lead in about 5 or 6 days…for the first time since April or May.
The owner of the firewillierandolph.com domain might be sitting on a prime piece of internet real-estate if this keeps up…
I don’t post here often, although I read daily, but this play is beyond disgraceful. I wasn’t a fan of Willie from the get-go, but was willing to give him time to prove that he can be a worthwhile National League manager. He is not. Whatsoever. I’m not a fan of his even-keel, low-key attitude. I read here someone calling him “bland vanilla”. Absolutely hit the nail on the head with that one. The Mets need a manager with an EDGE. We need another Bobby V. We are not the Yankees. We are not bland vanilla. We are not the corporate, no facial hair franchise. Our manager is. He doesn’t fit, and I cannot wait until he is gone. And I’m not even touching his strategic retardation here. His attitude alone is enough for me to dislike him…
Thats it. Thats absolutely it.
Get Willie Randolph the hell out of here.
I wouldn’t let him coach a highschool baseball team.
FIND A NEW JOB WILLIE!
come on guys we can do this we can comeback lets go david!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not
Well said…..Willie is a chode.
Nice Job Dave, MVP! NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
God, shut up.
And, yes, I am frustrated right now.
GET WILLIE “BRAINS” RANDOLPH THE HECK AWAY FROM MY BASEBALL TEAM!!!!!!!!
FI-RE WIL-LIE! FI-RE WIL-LIE! FI-RE WIL-LIE!
Wait wait..so we yank LoDuca, put in DeFelice, then plug in Gotay for him, and then insert Castro?
Is Willie drunk?
No just clueless
this team is destroying my life. i just want to reach into my television and slap everysingle one of the effing mets. i want to run in the streets and scream at the top of my lungs and throw garbage cans and hurt small children
We need to exhume Herb Brooks – this team needs to do some Herbies after these two games (kudos to anyone who gets that reference)…
Again!…
Again!…
Again!!!
ill take kurt russell
LOLOLOLOL BEST comment in a long time….I needed that.
Get Willie “Brains” Randolph the heck away from my baseball team!
I tried sticking up for Willie, too, like you jose–jose–jose……But after 1.5 years, and countless headscratching moves….he is costing us games single handedly now in a penant race. Last year it was masked b/c the players won in spite of him…..and it was an easy year. Now, the tough has gotton going , and Randolph has been exposed as an Art Howe clone. He’s gotta go.
I foward this notion.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
ok so today was a “must win” well tomorrow is a “you better F***ING WIN OR YOUR SEASON COULD BE OVER BY SUNDAY” game, so John Maine, you better bring it brother.
FIre this piece of garbage now
Earlier in the day, some morons on here (Zen, HittheWeightsZeile) were telling me that I was unreasonable for wanting to fire Randolph.
What do they think now? This man is a complete moron and is completely unqualified in terms of intelligence to manage at this level. What are we going to hear after the game tonight Willie? I’m guessing something along these lines:
“Ahhh, no big deal. Get ‘em tomorrow. Gotta tip your cap. We’re still in first place”
i dont appreciate being called a moron because i expect the players to be competent enough to realize they need to win a game and going onto the field and executing, not making stupid errors and helping no name relievers lower their ERAs.
Why did Lawrence start tonight? Between this and Randolph’s ridiculous usage of Mota yesterday, it’s as if this buffoon is TRYING to give the division away. You could have started Maine on full rest tonight, Pelfrey on Tuesday, and Glavine on full rest on Thursday. That way you only see Pelfrey as opposed to having to see both Pelfrey AND piece of garbage Lawrence. I thought we had seen the last of that garbage AA pitcher. Why not start Humber? I guess because he’s not “a veteran”…he’s not one of “Willie’ ‘guys’” Yesterday when a reporter asked him if he was going to talk to his lousy team after their horrible defense, etc., and he stubbornly and moronically and defiantly remarked “No, why should I??” Will he say the same thing tonight?
WHERE THE F**K IS DELGADO. THEY CLAIM HE WAS GOING TO MISS THE HOME STAND, NOW THAT’S PAST US . IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE A BABY GO HOME TO YOUR WIFE AND KID!!!
HE NEVER WANTED TO PLAY HERE IN NY ANYWAY. WILLIE YOUR ARE THE MANAGE TELL HIM TO GO AND PLAY. DO NOT LET HIM DICTATE TO YOU!!!! WILLIE YOU ARE WEAK!!!
Yes, its the managers job to rush a guy back from injury.
Shut up.
That’s strange that the Mets would underestimate he time someone would be out. Wasn’t LoDuca and Beltran only supposed to be out for a couple days? I think Castro was only supposed to miss a week.
Imagine Minaya fire Willie tomorrow with a 2.5 game lead? That’s be tremendous.
I would throw a ticker tape parade if that happened.
Oh yea, and it would be incredibly productive too…
*eye roll*
I HAVE BEEN DEFENDING WILLIE ALL SEASON. I AM NOW OFFICIALLY A WILLIE BASHER!!! I CANNOT STAND WATCHING THIS TEAM ANYMORE. I HAVE SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN MY LIFE. THIS TEAM IS GOING TO PUT ME IN THE FRIGGIN HOSPITAL!!! I’M DONE!!!
FIRE WILLIE!!! FIRE WILLIE!!!!
FIRE WILLIE! FIRE WILLIE! YEAHHHHHH!
THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE HAD BETTER BE GONE IF THIS TEAM BLOWS THE DIVISION AND COMPLETELY MISSES THE PLAYOFFS. The Wilpons can in NO WAY look their fans in the eye and sit up there and tell us ‘Willie’s our guy” if this happens- and there is an excellent, excellent chance that it will.
HE IS AWFUL!!! Cohen is getting on him…this is great!
As I said earlier today, it would be in the best interest of all Mets fans to root for them to lose EVERY FREAKIN” game the rest of the year in order to (I hope) ensure that this moron manager is canned. Yes we’d be giving up this year but it would be in our best interest for the long haul.
HAHAHAHAHAHA 12 RUNS AND COUNTING….
Cmon, this is funny now.
You cannot…CANNOT get to where you want to go with this “man” as your manager. There is a reason he was turned down for a dozen jobs before being hired by the Mets in what was a charity case because of all of the backlash about how he wasn’t being given an opportunity due to his race. The Mets were stupid enough to cave to this public pressure and I knew at the time that they hired him that it was a grave mistake.
this pitching is nauseating
I HOPE THE NATS SCORE 20 RUNS!!!
FIRE WILLIE!!! FIRE WILLIE!!!! FIRE WILLIE!!!!
I would agree, but knowing Minaya and the Wilpons, they would still endorse the guy.
HE IS AWFUL!!! Cohen is getting on him…this is great!
HEY NY CUBAN WHAT IS COHEN SAYING I HAVE THE SOUND DOWN THEY ARE ANNOYING ME!!!
WILLIE MUST GO
He started to say that Willie has been laid back all year, but this is a pennant race. Its not time to be laid back. And Keith kind of agreed. But said that a screaming manager is counterproductive.
We may finish the season in 3rd place at this rate.
what happen to the Pedro effect, has it worn out?
screw this freakin posts i posted this same stuff like 3 times already, screw this im taking the train up to manhatten flocking my way to sny studios with a big asz yellow “FIRE WILLIE (NO BRAINS) RANDOLPH” watch it over lee (im a yankee lover) mazillies shoulder, too bad im in montauk damnnnnnn
Well, the Nats will definitely outscore the Redskins tonight. It is really unfair to WASTE this talent with this imbecile in dugout for this team.
MATT…YOU BETTER TURN OFF THE COMMENT SECTION! THIS SITE IS GOING TO EXPLODE!!!
FIRE WILLIE!!! FIRE WILLIE!!!!
12-4
Nice Game boys. Oh, I hope we re-sign Sosa dn Lawrence, but I am sure Minaya is on top of that already.
Willie defenders, please explain this:
Defelice doubleswitched into the game for LoDuca. He takes pitcher’s spot in the order and is scheduled to lead off next inning.
Gotay then bats for Defelice. Why?
Castro –who could have been doubelswticthed in for LoDuca and then hit in the next inning– is then used as a defensive replacement for DeFelice. Huh?
I would like to hear a rational explanation for those moves. I would really like to hear the logic there.
Meanwhile, our bullpen is now officially a complete and total wasteland of a friggin disaster. Eight un-answered runs and the clock is still ticking. We are in deep deep deep s**t. It is time to be very worried.
At least we held on to those prospects in lieu of another reliever. Maybe Fernando Martinez can be our setup man.
We’re losing 12-4, Phillies winning 11-0, who wants it more??
Last time people were screaming for someone’s head, they got their wish. Rick Down was fired. You can even include Julio Franco. If this team slides in and out of the playoffs, Willie is gone. I guarantee it.
At least we will all be able to remember where we were the night the Mets season went in the sh*tter.
NICE JOB BELTRAN 8 RUNS down AND ALL U DO IS POP OUT ON THE VERY FIRST PITCH!
HE WAS TRYING TO HIT AN 8 RUN HR!!!!!
FORE WILLIE!!!! FIRE WILLIE!!!!!
We need to keep telling ourselves it’s just a baseball game…it’s just a baseball game…..if we don’t, we’ll all have heart attacks when we officially miss the playoffs for the Phillies and Padres.
youre only happy when the mets do bad, me im happy when theyre doing well but i guess im normal.
ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT “WON” THE CHANCE TO GO TO A PLAYOFF GAME WILL NOW BE SAVING $$$!!!
FIRE WILLIE!!!! FIRE WILLIE!!!!
320 comments? Holy crap…People are angry and they should be…THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! A 2.5 game lead all of the sudden…there may be NO PLAYOFFS if they blow this…what the heck has happened???? They better get their damn act together and win the next 2 games. Blowing a 4-0 lead to the Nats is ridiculous.
The Fire Willie Bandwagon is growing everyday and I might hop on very very soon.
Next game at Shea, they need to start a “Fire Willie” (it’d sound like a “Let’s Go Yankees” or any 2 syllable team name).
*directed at mistermet
HEY KRUSTY I AM IN THE HUDSON VALLEY I WOULD MEET YOU AT SNY IF I WAS CLOSE… THAT WOULD BE GREAT, BUT YOU KNOW THEY WOULD PUT DOWN THE CURTAIN…
Pedro must be thinking he hasn’t seen a collapse like this since the 2004 ALCS..
FIRE EVERYONE
Is this team even trying?
wright, reyes, maine, perez, this is your team for years to come, not pedro, beltran, delgado, glavine, wagner its you 4 young guys (more wright and reyes) u guys got to step up for jose will be making handshakes with his kids in october
i hate this team. screw this. what a waste of a yr and offseason waiting. SCREW THIS
I just saw him SMILING as if everything was WONDERFUL when he came in to make the double switch of Sosa for Schoenweis…he was laughing and having a good time with the umpire as he was telling him about the changes. The camera caught you you moron. I hope they talk about this in the papers and on the air.
FIRE THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE NOW!
What’s the over/under on reyes pop-ups tomorow night? I say 1.5
I’ll take the over.
FIRE WILLIE
as retarded as willie is omar could very well be more at fault than him….while he was taking victory laps for his turnaround of this team he gave up young relievers and then refused to help the pen at he deadline
Randolph looks so quiet and calm………shocker
Yes because I’m sure if he punched Shawn Green in the face everything would get better and we’d rally to win the game and put the division away.
he’s gonna even-keel this team right to the world series, you watch!
And lose it if he gets there…..Willie is clueless
FIRE WILLIE! FIRE WILLIE! Tip your hat to the other team….they played hard….they wanted it more than we did…..that’s baseball….sometimes you don’t get the breaks…i’m not worried…we’re still in first place….I’m not going to speak to my team or make any changes…it’s not necessary….my guys know what they need to do…(words of wisdom from Willie Randolph, the mets leader) FIRE WILLIE! FIRE WILLIE! It sounds so good…………..
You people all make me sick. Youre like toddlers with your “Fire willie, fire willie, fire willie Wahhhhhhhhh.”
And then you guys are rooting for this team to lose to prove a point? What the Hell is wrong with you people!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is what being a mets fan is goddmanit! Put your yankee caps back on you pathetic, impatient “fans.”
yes, the only true mets fans are the ones that are okay with it when they play like little leaguers
when did we root for them to lose? we were all happy about beltran hr and had hope for lawrence to do well……..
I had no hope for Lawrence to do well. He is bum who came into the game with a 6.31 ERA. He stinks and gave us about a 5% chance to win this game. He blew a four-run lead faster in a flash. He should never be allowed to pitch again unless we are ahead or behind by at least ten runs.
Even Cohen and Hernandez are thoroughly disgusted. Jose Jose Jose – are THEY Yankee fans too????? Just a total embarassment of a game tonite so therefore you have nothing else but to pick on Met fans who genuinely are frustrated. Pretty low
I bet Conine wishes he stayed on the Reds!
Being with the Reds, or being with a first place team…
hmm, I’d take that bet.
..and hopefully Mota is right now placing internet orders for the Clear for the whole team
KRUSTY WHEN ARE WE MEETING TO START THE RALLY AT SNY TO HAVE WLLIE FIRED.. GET THE PICKIT SIGNS OUT
sorry dude im in montauk and id get there too late, id love to go tomorow regardless if they win or lose, BUT GO GO GO GO GO GO DO ITTT
r u gonna do it?
jeeze humber and fmart are really helping us right now esoecialyl cuz they gave him a chance to start tonight, its not like cordero couldve helped NICE JOB OMAR!
im not even watching the game for the sake of watching the game rather im watching for the post game comments….fire willie tonite and light a fire for a change maybe thats all it will be maybe not but i think this team is slowly giving up on playing for willie ala art howe era
I bet you wanted Gagne too. Dont forget him…
Hey, how’s that working out up in Boston?
I have watched every game this year and this is the first time that this team has played like it is scared. They know that they blew their chance to wrap up this division this past weekend. They feel the Phillies coming and are playing like it.
At this point I am hoping beyond hope that we hold on to this division, but just like I accept the Scott Kazmir trade as a necessary evil that brought us Omar, Pedro and Carlos…I would accept a meltdown if it meant firing Willie “Joe Torre Jr.” Randolph. Omar – please hire Joe Girardi.
Those of you blaming Omar on the bullpen – I will give him blame for Mota and not re-signing Bradford, but he thought Duaner “I’m going out for a 2:30 AM dinner” Sanchez was going to be ready and based on how Schoenweis pitched last year I had no problem with that signing. The trade deadline price tag was way to high for relievers (just ask the Red Sox) and no one was available worth giving up prospects for especially ones that will be used to trade for Johan Santana.
This collapse falls squarely on the shoulders of the manager – his demeanor never changes and he never holds players accountable for their play – call somebody out, sit them on the bench, light a fire under some of these guys…do something before its to late Willie – Your job may depend on it, Mr. I’m too good to manage in the minors.
Any relievers sitting down in AA or AAA? Anybody at all? Our pen is in dire straits. Every releiver who appeared tonight has given up at least one run. And we know what we got from Mota. Collazzo, Smith and Sosa yesterday. Suddenly Heilman, Feliciano and Wagner –who haven’t been that good since the break– are our only vaguely dependable relievers. This si scary.
And meanwhile the Yanks keep making up ground on the Sox, and they’re meltdown may be even be more epic than the Mets meltdown…WILLIE MUST GO! WILLIE MUST GO! WILLIE MUST GO! WILLIE MUST GO! WILLIE SUCKS! WILLIE SUCKS! WILLIE SUCKS… I CAN GO ALL NIGHT LONG AFTER WATCHING THIS ABORTION OF A GAME
but at least the sox have a plan B. They won’t miss the WC. There is no plan B here.
Anyone listening to the FAN. This is great!! Basically…”Which one of these guys are going to step up and say something?” They want it to be Wright but don’t think has the conficence. They are saying Glavine has to be the guy because Pedro hasn’t been there all year.
So much for the Pedro effect…
9 errors in 2 games
ok im done here thanks for taking years off my life mets, im sure my grandkids will be happy although at this pace ill be dead by the end of this road trip, see you guys tomorrow
Still in FIRST PLACE!
JUST GOTTA TIP YOUR CAP!
NO BIG DEAL, GET ‘EM TOMORROW!
WHY SHOULD I TALK TO MY TEAM? THERE IS NO REASON TO!
FIRE THIS MORON NOW!
“I thought Lawrence pitched well, he just made a couple mistakes and they were able to take advantage. You gotta tip your cap to them”
Get rid of this bum!
It’s going to be a potentially long and bitter, painfull offseason.
ok, are you even-keel mofos starting to panic now?
STILL HAVE THE BEST RECORD IN THE LEAGUE!! (that’s what we’ll hear from Zen or one of the other clowns in Arizona loses tonight)
ALL they needed to do was win 1, 1 friggin game over the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so painful.
normally i would be here to defend willie, but theres simply no way too here. this has become absolutely unwatchable. if there was a time to right this ship, it is NOW
Jerry Manuel
Yea, cause he seems like the kind of guy who will thorw a water cooler after a loss. I’m sure you “fans” will never complain about him.
Willie’s post-game press conference is must see TV tonight.
I want to hear him say “No big deal, get ‘em tomorrow!”
“Gotta tip your cap!”
“No reason to talk to my team, why should I?”
“Lawrence is one of our veterans, I trust my veterans”
“Humber is too young”
“Mota will come in in every crucial spot this week”
FIRE HIM!
In a 10-4 game why is Washington stealing bases? I remember when teams took this is an insult and made sure it was known that stuff like that doesn’t happen ’round here.
Oh that’s right…..they left their balls on the field in the last game against Atlanta
Nice play by Reyes! They have another 6 or 7 errors tonight, especially if you count the mental ones and the 2 (not 1) that should have been given to Schoeneweis.
bench jose now!
Did I mention how much I loathe Randolph?
hahahahah hahahahaha
HAHHAHAHAHAH
THIS TEAM IS HILARIOUS!!
FOR SALE!
2 Tickets to see NL Embarrassment vs. Florida 09/28 Upper deck 3rd baseside.
2 Tickets to see NL Embarrassment vs. Florida 09/30 Upper deck 3rd baseside.
Hope they don’t wait forever to refund my NLDS tickets.
Our season has NOT come.
The Mets now have as many errors as they do runs in the last two games combined!
how ’bout them jets/giants?
not sure what worse…Mets D or Giants D.
thats the only time a double d is bad
tough call man. oh boy, there’s a passed ball.
10 erros last 2 games? This team is so focused!
panic time! THis pretty much looks like 1 more day of this (met loss, Phils win) and it is almost guaranteed that the division is gone.
I have never seen a team in 1st place at this piont, almost in the playoffs, with a BP this incredibly bad. Mind boggling.
Giants DEF is worse, but who knows, Wilie might double switch in Antonio Peirce at catcher next inning.
Hahahahahah Im cracking up right now with that.
Lets get Strahan to play SS while were at it.
At least he can probably knock grounders down in front of him.
Once when get into the playoffs and make a good run (or even better win it all) I promise to call out every single one of you morons who have posted all of your fire willie crap on this thread. I promise…
How on Gods green earth are you still defending this teams play? Did you just drop an acid tab?
Do you like whats happening here?
You honestly think this team is capable of winning a World Series at this point?
Of course they are capable. Are they the favorites in the NL anymore, I’d say no, but this team deffinately has the talent to win in October. Hey, were much better than the Cardinals were last year (how soon they forget.)
I’m not promising anything or making and gaurentees (sp?) but I’m just saying, if we do, I’ll be ready.
jose, jose, jose… we love your loyalty here… even when the ship is going down… but you definitely need to add spellcheck to your blogs… your brutal bro…
still love ya…
I think if you were a “true fan” you would promise and gaurantee. Apparently you might be a Yankee fan too.
ru on crack?
most certainly not. Funny, it actually seems like i’m the one who is thinking a little bit clearly here.
Good for you, it’s going to take a good amount of time to compile the list of those posters though, lol
jose-jose-jose-jose, your loyalty is commendable.
But can you not see how badly this team is playing? When a team falls apart like this at a crucial time the manager has to be accountable.
All kidding aside, do you not see that? Do you not acknowledge that this is a crisis?
Do you defend the use of Lawrence as the starter tonight?
get something through your head: if the mets win anything, it will be in SPITE of willie not BECAUSE of him, ok? this lineup would have 5-7 more wins right now with any other half-witted manager.
Can someone post a transcript of Willie’s comments? I’d love to hear what he has to say about this one.
We will see Willie say “Lawrence pitched OK, just a little off with his location. He’s my guy, I trust my guys”
We played lie sh*t and lost because I can’t get my guys motivated.
Should I email Omars personal assistant tomorrow and point him to these comments?
FIRE WILLIE!!!

lets go mets
famous last words
I’m at a loss for any other words!
If the Mets win the World Series….I’ll come on tis site, and post an apologetic message…
Boys, sorry I doubted you. FIRE WILLIE!!!!!!!!!
I think they’re choking under the pressure. You know, last year right about the time they should have clinched they lost three to the Pirates and this year with the Phils breathing down their necks they can’t get it done. CHOKERS!
NEW YORK SPORTS EXCEPT FOR THE CRANKEES HAS BECOME UTTERLY UNWATCHABLE… I LIVE A COUPLE OF MILES FROM THE MOST PRISTINE BEACH HERE IN NEWPORT BEACH, CA…. AND IM GOING TO START TAKING UP HOBBIES LIKE BIKING, BLADING, RUNNING, HIKING….WORKING OUT, ANYTHING… ANYTHING TO TAKE MY MIND OFF WATCHING THE METS, AND THE JETS… MANGINI IS NO MANGENIUS AND RANDOLPH…..SHOULD BE FIRED LIKE TONIGHT! UGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! IM SO FRUSTRATED PEOPLE… HAS ANYONE GOTTEN THE FIREWILLIE WEBSITE GOING YET?
Let’s count how many “we’re still in first place comments we hear in the post game tonight from willie and the players. I guarantee you we will hear that said alot tonight. The players have been drinking willie’s koolaid all year and they are now poisoned… Omar, Fred, Jeff….Tony Bernazard…Ralph Kiner…please somebody fire willie! please!!!!!!
Wilpon is getting exactly what he wants. His very own Brooklyn Dodgers.
Mets are breaking our hearts…
HAHA! Ralph Kiner, that’s great.
I was against the stupid Randolph hire to begin with. There was a reason he got turned down for 10 jobs before this- he is unintelligent, dispassionate, and unqualified. T
I hope he gets fired before he gives his post-game and Jerry Manuel comes out when Willie is supposed to and makes me like this team again.
who said this famous quote. I put in Mota. He’s my guy and he’s got dynamite stuff… FIRE WILLIE! FIRE WILLIE! FIRE WILLIE! FIRE WILLIE! FIRE WILLIE!
I know I should just let this go but what the @#$%…
He pitched Brian Lawrence? Brian bleepin Lawrence
He knew this guy was only good for 4.. Why would he even consider putting his bullpen back in this sort of situation?
I can’t wait to hear what this tool says after the game… The reporters better ask this guy good questions… And SNY better show us the full spot. I want to hear what he has to say
Does anyone know if postgame interviews are posted anywhere online? Even a transcript. I too am very intrigued to hear tonight’s postgame, but I live in Georgia so I’m not privy to all the NY media.
Manny Acta should have been manager, his team has spunk.
HIRE JERRY MANUEL!!!! Jerry…..Jerry……Jerry…………..

HEY JOSE ARE U IN LOVE WITH A MAN NAME WILLIE. YOU MUST BE A YOUNG FAN….BUDDY YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS TAKES TO MANAGE EVERYDAY AND WILLIE DOES NOT HAVE THIS SKILL. ONCE AGAIN HERE IS THE WEBSTER DICTIONARY MEANING OF MANAGE
ain Entry: 1man·age
Pronunciation: ‘ma-nij
Function: verb
1 : to handle or direct with a degree of skill:
The Mets caved to public pressure because there was a lot of public outcry about him not being hired because he was black. I knew this from the start- there was a reason he was turned down for 10 jobs.
going there immediately tells us where you stand on that issue.
Yeah really – you might have had some supporters on your view but your ugly inferences are just that, ugly !! and truly vicious.
and they probably won’t fire him for the same reason.
Matt, good thing you got on the new server. Lot of blood would have been spilt out there if we could not vent here on your great website.
Thanks for the therapy!!!
“Lawrence is my guy….I share my wife with him” – Willie Randolph
willie should ask manny acta to go easy on us the next couple days. i’m sure manny would rather see us in the playoffs than the phils.
fire willie. fire omar. i love reyes. but he’s clearly regressed as a player. if you can package him with pelfrey and humber to get santana in the offseason….do it.. now
Package Reyes, Pelfrey and Humber for Santana. You actually believe that’s a good and realistic move? There’s a better chance the sun will rise at 3 a.m.
The Twins would be nuts to take that deal
hey Matt, this new hosting site is great, it only crashes every other day instead of every day.
hahahahahahahahahahaha
Site hasn’t crashed once for me since it switched to the new server. Don’t take your anger with the team out on Cerrone.
Beningo is gonna have another meltdown tomorrow. Sorry I’ll be at work and will miss it.
LMAO! They’re talking about the Mets on Baseball Tonight.
The Topic: “Mets postseason rotation outlook.” HAHAHAHA. Postseason. We’re not making the postseason.
haha i mean i love baseball. alot. but come on ,you guys definitely have something other than baseball that makes you happy. it sucks, but it happens.
seriously ..
We’ll see, but so far this year, our skids have generally righted themselves at right about 1-3 games out, so any day now , turn the page, yadda yadda yadda…ya’ll duke it out I’m goin to bed. Tomorrow, I plan to watch my first place team, play a game in September, again, and see what happens … should be fun! Even my sunshiney ass has to admit the errors do make it tough. At a certain point though, you know this team is not this bad, this too will pass, and hopefully the phillies will choke.
A lot of blank comments tonight, eh? Rough crowd.
Should be interesting to see the spin on this one… C’mon, let us have it Matt.
Game over. Hands down THE WORST LOSS OF THE SEASON. Good luck the rest of the way with this hack at the controls.
I’ve heard that phrase “Worst Loss of the Season” one too many times. First it was the Pittsburgh loss, than the Padres loss with Anderson’s homer, then the 4th game of the Philly series, then yesterday, and now today.
This post game is going to be amazing.
hojo for manager..now
What a complete shameful embarrassment. Total baseball fundementals. Even Cohen and Hernandez are expressing true concern and admonishment at this dispicable play – - maybe they are Yankee fans too – must be since they are saying the same things we are saying here !!!… Where are the friggin self-appointed fan police on this blog.
Yo yo yo my name is willie, i dont give a crap if my team plays shiiitty, i dont give a crap if you call me silly, we still in first and we dere to stay, now how many dudes want mota to stay, (none) i hear 1, 2, ,3 and 4 and prolly a thousand more, Brians my guy and we aint gonan cry now dont go fret and remeber to sigh. WHOS this ump yellin in my playaZ FACE i cant go out there i think hes gonan spray me with mace, yeah for sure im the best manager my gut tells me what to do but not my brain some people might say im even insane yo dont say dat i dont need to talk to my team we’ll bounce back even if its novemba fourTEEN!
nice work brah.. nice freakin work
i just spent 10 minutes on my best blog yet and it disappeared! what the hell is going on?
Happened to me too – I think the Pollyannas are deleting them :)
naw, even my pollyanna stuff disappeared too, then it told me my comment was duplicate when I tried to repost.
I guess we actually have broken the new server too…. better than breaking / beating things I guess. Enjoy fellers maybe sleep can cleanse the performances of the last two days from my brain. You know this team is not this bad, and tomorrow we will watch our (first place) team again and see what happens … could be worse, could be february!
Agreed Mookie – you are actually a cool guy. Have a good night !!!!
damn same thing happened to me.
The reporters better drill Willie.. Enough of the softball questions from Ed coleman and Kevin…
green hit a homerun tonight and had a nice diving play, what do you think of the job he’s doing in place of delgado?
two homeruns for beltran in two days… would you say he’s getting into a nice little rhythm?
that’ll show him! I’m sure if WIllie really yells at the press, we won’t make 5 errors tomorrow.
this is a disgrace im a big mets fan and im use to these blowouts in the 90s but not now because we came so far from the 90s and now it seems we are playing like that again. i am so mad n angry right now its not even funny, i have a bad feeling we will lose the lead n not even make the playoffs because it just feels like this team has given up after they got sweep by the phillies not once but twice and wont be able to get pay back so to speak until next year so thats gotta be on their minds that they were owned by a team that they supposed to beat .
I HOPE RANDOLPH WAKES UP DEAD IN THE MORNING
that’s not even funny bro… needless to say that he wouldnt be waking up if he were dead….. That’s not a particularly nice thing to say… even to Willie… Firing him…is enough… I’m not wishing death on him… Bro, youre freaking brutal.
not cool…
WHRES THE FIRE WILLIE SIGNS AT SNY!
THIS IS A DISGRACE.. A BINCH PF PVER{AID NON CARING WORTHLESS PIECES OF CRAPPPPPP!!!! WRIGHT I THE MAN, EVERYONE ELSE CAN TAKE A LEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IVE SEEN MORE HEART IN THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES>>> THIS TEAM COULDNT BEAT BRETT MYERS’ WIFE@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matt-Can someone else tell letsgohome that dieing, and wife beating isn’t really a funny thing and very very offensive on this website.. Someone needs to tell him something… That ain’t funny Matt
You know whats less funny?
The 2007 Mets taking the field.
newport beach fan you are a typical lacadiasical mets fan.. you should be our next manager,…. you sit back and hope everythigns going to be OK.. well its not.. .
youre right its not funny that a wife beater is making more money than ill ever se in my life.. so why cant i joke about it???
im not a wife beater.. im just a mets fan who is sick of seeing a 100 win team be the laughin stock of the league.. we just got CREAMED by washington..
so sit there in newport beach with your latte and your scones, while we met fans sti here in the tranches cursing and wishing death on our players…
thats how we rolll..
Hey Einstein, you may be rolling but you need to get a little spellcheck going on…. Don’t give me your lame “You live in the OC and you’re not a Real Mets Fan routine” I grew up in Queens and i love the Mets as much as anyone.. but wishing that Willie would die, and making fun of Myers abused wife may not be that funny there Seinfeld.. Have some F#$$% class, and dignity… Not like Philadelphia fans… You sound like a lowclass, uneducated moron in your blogs… And that’s how I roll Genius…
How bout a little spellcheck with those insightful blogs..? You’re a regular Seinfeld…
that’s how i roll Einstein….
Sounds like Mazz is auditioning for the job. He already said he would be flipping over the tables.
To bad Lou Lamariello is not the GM, he would have fired Willie yesterday.
Join my Facebook group, Fire Willie Randolph
how do i join your group…
Well it looks like the Phillies bullpen is returning to its normally craptastic ways. Its now 12-9 Phils going into the 8th. GO CARDS!
For those in NY with SNY, updates on the postgame would be much appreciated. I wanna know what Willie has to say.
Thats astonishing… How the hell are we the only team in bseball that can’t hit off of them.
Facebook dot com, searh for fire willie randolph
Is this a record for number of comments???? Wow!
oh my God, the Cards have the tieing run at bat… Is that crazy? and they almost just hit one out to tie it… Go Cards!!
Its now 12-10. Is anyone out there watching this game? This is hysterical…
ITS 12-11…. THE PHILS ARE MELTING DOWN!!!!! COME ON PEOPLE…IS ANYONE ALIVE WATCHING THIS MONUMENTAL COMEBACK? THIS MAY SAVE OUR SEASON… PUJOLS IS UP… COME ON FAT ALBERT!!!
LETS GO CARDS, LETS GO CARDS! HOW THE HELL DIDNT WE BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THIS PHILS BULLY?
I’d like to see what Larry Bowa would be like if he was at the helm for these last few games(a Willie direct opposite)
OH MY GOD.. AARON ROWAND MAY HAVE JUST SAVED THE PHILLIES SEASON WITH A SICK CATCH… I JUST ABOUT CRAPPED AT MY DESK
that looked like it had a chance
and now rowand goes deep. where do we get one of those?
I COULDN’T AGREE WITH YOU MORE…ROWAND IS AN ABSOLUTE WARRIOR. WE NEED ONE OF HIM… WHO THE HELL ON THE METS IS GOING TO CALL A TEAM MEETING AND STAND UP AND SAY SOMETHING.? 10 ERRORS IN 2 GAMES? I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT EVER!!!
BAD CALL ON ANKIEL.. THAT WAS OUTSIDE!!!!!
PUT YOUR RALLY CAPS ON METFANS! TIEING RUN UP TO BAT…LETS GO REDBIRDS! CAN’T BELIEVE THAT IM ACTUALLY SAYING THAT…. WE NEED THE CARDS TO WIN THIS GAME TO STICK A DAGGER THRU THEIR HEARTS…
IS ANYONE OUT THERE ALIVE… COME ON GUYS..IVE NEVER SEEN AN 11 RUN LEAD GET BLOWN… THIS IS CRUCIAL!
So, what did Willie have to say in post-game comments? many of us from out of state don’t have access to
THIS CARDS PHILS GAME IS ABSO INSANE… CARDS HAVE TYING RUNS ON BASE WITH BRANYAN UP… FULL COUNT
http://axerandolph.blogspot.com/
HERE’S THE LINK GUYS!!!! PLEASE USE IT…. FIRE WILLIE! FIRE WILLIE, FIRE WILLIE!!
i just started my own bro.. i think that it may be easier then yours… Im sorry..i just felt the need to start my own… Please give me your thoughts.. I’m so utterly disgusted right now… i just had to do something… Maybe we can work together…
OMG – love your nick name!!! ROFL
HAHAHAHAH GIRARDI TOO CALM????????????
Obviously you never saw Girardi manage, because he is far from calm. And he gave the playoffs a run with not even a 1/4 of the Mets talent and won manager of the year.
YOU’RE WRONG… YOU’RE WAY WRONG… WILLIE IS MAKING TERRIBLE GAME DECISIONS, PUTTING THE WRONG PEOPLE IN AT THE WRONG TIME… YES, THE METS PLAYERS ARE RESPONSBILE BUT A SKIPPER NEEDS TO SHOW SOME BALLS, AND SOME HEART AND FLAT OUT SHOW THAT HE CARES ONCE IN A WHILE… WILLIE DOES NONE OF THAT…. HE’S LIKE A MUMMY ON THAT BENCH…ITS LIKE HE IS FROZEN AND ME AND EVERY OTHER FAN OUT THERE IS JUST SICK TO DEATH WATCHING HIM MANAGE THIS TEAM….. ARE U WATCHING THIS GAME…? WHY DID HE START LAWRENCE? WHY PUT IN SELE IN CRUCIAL PART OF GAME WHEN SELE HAS DONE NOTHING…. HE’S DONE BRO AND NOTHING CAN CHANGE MY MIND
Well at least you aren’t using a small sample size or anything. If I remember correctly, Willie took a team that was 71-91 in ‘04 and led them to an 83-79 record in ‘05. Wow thats a great first year, and I know that everyone wanted to keep him after that.
paulie hasn’t had a day off in two weeks, so Willie got him out of there to rest him .. next inning, it’s now a 5 run game, he’s trying to get Gotay’s bat in there to get it going…. but of course, you’re such a brilliant strategic manager, you think DeFelice is a rally starter.
Would someone send the Bizarro Mets back to wherever they came from? I want my team back.
Why aren’t there more people like m00kie?
not killed… more ripped to shreads by the posters on this site. Thats better.
HAHAHAH WHAT? ARE U SAYING ALL RAPS ARE DONE BY BLACK PEOPLE? im trying to prove a point in a way better than tedious comments in something like rap which is considered an art form
Dont even try to defend that. You know thats exactly what you were going for so please shut up and stop trying to twist this whole comment around.
