[...] let the Phillies catch up last night that the Mets became one. Maybe that’s what led me to check out MetsBlog, and I’m glad I did because that’s where I found the video above — quite possibly [...]

umm….yea. I saw a comment of yours about being a Raiders fan, so I’m gonna take a stab in the dark and say…Matt Cifichiello? (since I don’t think I know any other Raiders fans…)

Very well said. The only people who are worse than the ones jumping off the bridge are the ones who still haven’t opened their eyes.

This team is bad. Period. If they miss the playoffs, you can’t say they deserved better. Even if they get into the playoffs, you can’t say they deserved it. They played like they clinched the division a month in a half ago. They haven’t played at home (only 3 games over 500 this year). Frankly, the fans have the right to be annoyed and leave. They’re playing down to the level of their completion and poorly at home. And this crap about “You need to be at the game and be behind the team” is stupid. The last people players care about is the fans. Whether you’re booing or cheering has pretty much no effect on the outcome of the game. Only a few players can feed off a big, cheering crowd and none of them are on this team.

Matt, please get off your high horse of positivity. The fact is, whether a miracle occurs and the Mets actually qualify for postseason play, this was a disaster of a season. with our payroll and talent there is no reason we shouldn’t have put this division away a month ago.

let’s compare the 2000 team to this one. there is no comparison which team had more talent, but the 2000 team had heart. they had a good strategist as manager.

Not everyone is all rosy all the time. it’s hard to be all positive when this team keeps giving you a glimmer of hope, and then ripping your heart right out of your chest cavity. seriously, this year has been like a mentally abusive relationship with a girl who keeps cheating on you but then coming back to beg for your forgiveness, and you love her so much that you take her back, only to suffer heartache again and again.

so if you want to remain positive, then fine, that’s your thing. but don’t look down upon fans who let their emotions get to them and are sick and tired of having their hearts broken by this underachieving team. we are all free to express our dismay however we like.

I don’t see any hate in here. In fact, I’ve read most of the posts here and you seem to be the one firing off shots at everyone else pointing fingers, etc. As a whole it seems everyone is just trying to rally together.

The song you composed on your blog is so cute!

I am hoping that come late Monday afternoon I will have to eat any and all of my negative comments about this team. I wish I could be a sunshiner or pollyannaish but I’ve either watched or participated in too much baseball over the years not to be objective while I still root for the team as hard as anyone. But the Mets destiny is still in their hands and they have to seize the opportunity. The talent is there but the needed team character has not been shown to be there.

As far as I know the fans are not permitted on the field during a game so stop blaming the fans. It’s up to the Mets players to step up and get the job they’re being handsomely rewarded for done.

Neil Best wrote this in his Newsday column:

Here is Ron Darling in the ninth Wednesday, with Ryan Church facing Billy Wagner and the Mets down by one:

“Be careful with Church; The fastballs out over the plate against lefthanders, he tends to hit that ball in the left-centerfield gap, but [Moises] Alou shading more to leftfield against Church. You can’t even see him in the picture. There he is.”

Seconds later: two-run double to left-center.

“Far too prescient, Mr. Darling,” Gary Cohen said.

“Didn’t want to be,” said Darling, who in 2005 was a Nationals analyst.

“Nice call, Ronnie,” Keith Hernandez added.

“Did not want to be,” Darling glumly repeated.

After Church’s hit, Mrs. SportsWatch asked a fair question: Why does Darling know more about the Nationals’ tendencies than the Mets’ coaches do?

I didn’t need anything spelled out. So I didn’t read your second post after that line. I doubt anyone did, frankly.

I’ll admit that I was one of those who have jumped the ship, or shark, in the last couple of weeks. This team was supposed to win fairly comfortably this year–not quite as dominating as last year, but fairly comfortably nonetheless. They haven’t. For me, what pushed me over the edge was Willie not coming out of the dugout to argue with the HP umpire that threw Paul LoDuca out of the game two weeks ago, on the pitch that was in the left-handed batter’s box. What sealed it was the next night when Marlon Anderson was called out on the pitch in the right-handed batter’s box, and Willie wasn’t out there arguing until after Marlon was tossed out of the game. Especially with LoDuca, it seemed that Willie was saying, “You’re on your own out there. I’m not going to protect you.” If Willie had gotten tossed out of one of those games, it would have said, “Hey–I care about you guys,” and they might have played accordingly and actually won one or two of those games, and we wouldn’t be in this spot right now.

Having said all that, if I weren’t awaiting my first child’s birth right now, my wife and I would be there tonight, cheering on the Mets. (She’s due in the next week or so.) I will be in front of the tube, living and dying on every pitch. I really do want to see the Mets get to playing Wednesday. However, if they don’t, maybe we’ll see Omar send two or three prospects to, say, the Twin Cities, and get some quality lefthander in return (yes, Johan Santana). Hopefully, they’ll see the need to do something positive. Right now, I don’t see them doing that.
