…too many people have forwarded me this e-mail, which i must assume was originally written by a Yankees fan, and so in the nature of good fun, i have to post here…
Meet the Mets: 2007 Edition
Beat the mets, beat the Mets,
Last place teams defeat the Mets.
Hanging sliders, minor-league speed,
Guaranteed to waste a seven run lead.Because the Met bullpen keeps fading away,
October baseball won’t be at Shea.Mota…Sosa…,
Every game is now in doubt.
Can anyone who’s on this staff,
Get three men out?
…now that hurts…i mean, it’s that raw, deep-in-the-bone type of hurt…but i can take it…i won’t scream ‘unlce,’ no matter how hard you try Yankees fans…
Actually I am sure that from some of the Met fans on here, MetsMachine man up and take responsibility for this nonsense!
Well I wrote a version of Meet the Mets about a week ago. Keep in mind I am a diehard fan, but that doesn’t mean I can’t voice my pain in song and/or verse. And no it doesn’t mean I’ve given up on the team. But it does mean what the song says, because it’s all true and indisputable (mostly!)
—————
Beat the Mets
Beat the Mets
Any team can beat the Mets
Ask your kiddies
Ask your wife
Watching them can take the years off your life
Because the Mets are really booting the ball
Watching the homers sail over the wall
East side, west side
All the walls are falling down
And still it’s fair to say to fans
It’s still the Yankees’ town
Oh the Nationals and the Marlins and Phillies and the Braves
Where do they go?
To beat the Mets!
Oh the fielding’s often sloppy and the bullpen is a mess
What do they do?
They beat the Mets!
Oh the fans are true, but Willie has no clue
When managing a pitching staff
Cause the Mets, they are collapsing
Not having the last laugh
Give them an E! An unearned run!
And take away the element of fun!
Come on and beat the Mets
Beat the Mets
Little leagues can beat the Mets
It’s a shocker, and it’s sad
That the Mets are even playing this bad
The season may end with the Mets in the dumps
And Willie still emotionless
And the legacy will still be
Come beat the New York Mets
Personally, I liked this poem from MetsGeek.com much better!
————
Watching the lead leak away through a sieve
Searching for someone alive to relieve
Losing in ways you can’t even conceive
Going to bed with a reason to grieve
Searching for some bit of hope you can cleave
Think of this: Pedro goes tomorrow eve
His pitching’s a gift from the gods we receive
And one can be certain: a shutout he’ll weave
The struggling Mets find their pitching reprieve
Your World Series dreams you quickly retrieve
A new month awaits, September will leave
Who knows what October might have up its sleeve
So put down that rock you were ready to heave
You mustn’t despair: Ya gotta believe
Geez Matt. Thanks for rubbing more salt in our wounds. What’s next, a clip of Phillies fans going crazy when they saw the Nats go ahead of the Mets last night?
I am sure that could be found and posted
We will see whos is laughing after the Mets back into the playoffs and sweep the first round, while at the same time the Yankees are for the second year in a row coming into the playoffs the hottest team in baseball only to be eliminated in round 1. By a cleveland indian team they are 6-0 against this year. I will saw it again. I would rather be 1 game up with 4 to go, then 1 game down with 4 to go. Forget momentum. Even if we had blown a 20 game lead in 20 days, we are still up by 1 game with 4 games to play. We are in the drivers seat. Now lets keep the faith and watch our boys do some serious work this weekend. Pedro finally gets his shot at the cards. A year later then expected, but still equally important.
Thank you…I thought I was in the minority on this site
Well you still are, some of us are too infuriated by the doomsday Mets fan to regularly comment.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Yankees were three and out, in fact I think the curse of the bambino demands it.
I must say, even though I am a Mets fan who has been killing himself over and over throughout the past weeks, I can appreciate the humor of this song. It is creative. But let’s prove to them that this was a tad bit premature!
As premature as Willies “sipping champagne” comment?
Yank fans can go suck a co c k.
Isn’t the song kind of telling? I mean all of those things are true.
Does it make me a bad person that I laughed when I read that?
Posted this earlier in another thread but probably a little more appropriate here….
Did anyone just hear Francessa spin on the Mets being (potentially) the biggest collapse ever…bigger than the Yankees in 2004??? His rationale is that Yankees have 26 championships. WTF does one thing have to do with the other? They CHOKED!
The Yankees had Rivera on the mound, about to sweep their hated rival to their 27th title…and they proceed to blow that game…and lose the next 3 games after that.
What the Mets might do is absolutely terrible (and right up there with the worst chokes of all time) but there is no way anyone can tell me that the Yankees didn’t have the biggest choke not only in baseball history but in all of American sports history.
If anything, shouldn’t that make the Yankee collapse a bigger choke? Because they have such an extensive body of work exhibiting their “clutchness?”
Fat Man represents every Yankees fan so desperate to get the stink of 2004 off that every 3-game losing streak in a ‘bigger collapse’ than the Yankees.
Don’t think for a second that if the Red Sox had handed them a meaningless division title this year they wouldn’t all be claiming revenge had been served…they were all dropping “1978″ references with no regard to how the Wild Card renendered the whole issue mostly moot.
It’s funny because it’s true.
i dont think it makes you a bad fan if you laugh at it i mean it is pretty clever and if you sing it correctly its pretty funny. Its funny bc its true, but hey itll be even funnier if we do well in october bc then we can look back and laugh at how this horrid bullpen almost cost us a season in just a 2 week span.
It’s well-done. I totally could hear the barbershop quartet singing it.
Funny how the yankee fans are coming out of the woodwork, as they normally do this time of year.
you can set your watch to it, the band wagon/fair weather whatever you wanna call them yankee fans disappear in the rough patches and seem to be unavoidable when things look good. They are the worst, lets hope our team doesnt keep giving them ammunition.
Get the fans to sing it tonight after the bullpen gives up it first runs.
pretty damn good…you know what this shows? Mets are getting to yankee fans. In the past, yankee fans wouldnt give any ounce of attention to the mets. Different story now a days, and I like it
The worst the Mets can do is second place, the best the Yankees can do is second place.
For the last two years, we have split the subway series, so no matter what they say, there’s no way they can say they’re a better team, they’re $200 million talent just dwarfs the rest of the league.
exactly, and dont think they dont know that. Thats why the have to belittle the mets when they are in a tough spot. I used to be the same way when the mets were inferior, heckling yanks fans when they went on a losing streak, or when the sox/marlins, etc. beat them in the payoffs
growing up the only mets fan in an all yankee family in an all yankee section of CT will do that to ya
Actually our magic number with Atlanta is 1….but let’s not go there.
This made me laugh in an otherwise laughless day. Small comfort in the face of tragedy. I am losing hope – can this team even compete in the playoffs if they make it?
The irony is that the team that currently holds the record for the worst regular season collapse is the Phillies (1964). How pathetic if not only do the Mets hand the Phillies the division but also replace them as the holders of this dubious record! I can just imagine Rollins’ trash talk . . . ‘told you so’ etc etc
NO WAY A YANKEE FAN DID IT, IT IS TOO CLEVER AND SMART. AND DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TURN OFF MIKE AND THE MAD DOG.
Last I checked we’re still the only 1st place team in NY.
I guess expectations in the Bronx have sunk to doing cartwheels over Wild Cards….whatever happened to “anything less than a Championship is a failure”?
that is actually pretty well put together.
ideally you would have mota and schoenweis. sosa has been good for the most part.
i don’t take the yankees seriously since this day:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9frdnvnfSTM
“Oh my goodness gracious!!! Of all the dramatic things…”
I could listen to that over and over and over again…can’t get enough of it!
[...] too funny, especially considering the [...]
Yanks are going to playoffs and all u mets fans can suck it baby.
Jose reyes aint a patch on derek jeter’s fanny. Yeah the yanks choked in 2004 but at least they lost to a team with Manny, Ortiz, pedro, and Schilling on it. You guys can’t beat 2 of the worst teams in baseball. Thats a real choke job!!!!!!! Its still a yankee town baby! You got to win at least one world series in 20 years before you can start taking the town back. Have fun watching the yanks and their young pitching phenoms pitching this thursday.
Hahahahahahahahaahahaha
Met Fans: ITS NOT TO LATE!!!!!
Aren’t you tired of always coming in second best in your own home town of NY? Wouldn’t you like to feel like a winner for once in over 20 years? Don’t you want to be more optimistic instead of pessimistic in life? It’s never to late to come over to the other side. Even when you lose over hear you can always fall back on the fact that you have won so much in the past that it just is impossible to win every year. Again ITS NOT TO LATE!! For the sake of your children or future children start the conversion process now. Become a winner and better the future generations of your family while you can. Don’t you want to be associated with such greats as the Babe, Mantle, Gehrig, Yogi, Dimaggio, Jeter, River, Posada and more? If you are willing to take the necessary steps you too could be a champion. I’m giving all Met fans till this Thursday at 8pm to switch sides and jump on board with the greatest team in sports history. To prove your worth just complete the following steps….
1. Bow down on one knee and state the following: I pledge allegiance to the Evil Empire. I pledge allegiance to the pinstripe flag and all the winning for which it stands. The Mets are the junior varsity in this city now and forever. Derek Jeter is the clutchest ballplayer in baseball. Mariano Rivera is the greatest reliever in the history of baseball. I pledge allegiance to the God Father Joe Torre. I will no longer compare Derek Jeter to Ole Jose Reyes but will now compare Jose Reyes to
Jose Uribe. I pledge allegiance to Joba! Joba! Joba! Joba! I pledge allegiance to John Sterling and Suzanyn Waldman the greatest sports announcers in NY. Jose Reyes is not a patch on Derek Jeter’s Fanny.
2. Take all your met gear ( Hats, Flags, Reyes jerseys, etc.) out onto the street and make a pile. Get some lighter fluid and a match. Light up!!
Now the most important step:
Spin around in a circle and scream out as loud as you can The Yankees Win, The Yankeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!
then sing one of the following 2 songs…..
Beat the mutts, beat the Mutts,
Last place teams defeat the Mutts.
Hanging sliders, minor-league speed,
Guaranteed to waste a seven run lead.
Because the Mutt bullpen and Jose Reyes keeps fading away,
October baseball won’t be at Shea.
Mota…Sosa…and Wagner too,
Every game is now in doubt.
Can anyone who’s on this staff,
Get three men out?
or
Beat the Mutts
Beat the Mutts
Any team can beat the Mutts
Ask your kiddies
Ask your wife
Watching them can take the years off your life
Because the Mutts are really booting the ball
Watching the homers sail over the wall
East side, west side
All the walls are falling down
And still it’s fair to say to fans
It’s still the Yankees’ town
Oh the Nationals and the Marlins and Phillies and the Braves
Where do they go?
To beat the Mutts!
Oh the fielding’s often sloppy and the bullpen is a mess
What do they do?
They beat the Mutts!
Oh the fans are true, but Willie has no clue
When managing a pitching staff,
Cause the Mutts, they are collapsing
Not having the last laugh
Give them an E! An unearned run!
And take away the element of fun!
Come on and beat the Mutts
Beat the Mutts
Little leagues can beat the Mutts
It’s a shocker, and it’s sad
That the Mutts are even playing this bad
The season has ended with the Mutts in the dumps
And Willie still an emotionless slug
And the legacy will still be
Come beat the New York Mutts
Put that one in the books!!!!!!!
HaHa
Marco
