Not taken personal at, all…I should get it right.

Yeah, I was at the game too (in the upper deck and it was pathetic how many idiots were doing the wave — I sat the whole time). #1– the wave peaked in about 1985; #2–even if the wave was still cool, you’re not supposed to do it when your team is in the field…
just stupid.

and on another note, I was really embarrassed to be a mets fan last nite, I brought my girlfriend there (her 1st game in years), and there was nothing but fights, and security running all over and drunks throwing Bud bottles next to little kids. I was planning on taking my son to a game soon, and I have to seriously re-think that now. it was really disgusting.

“PITCHING WINS……..”
Not if you can’t score as many runs as the other team

Yes I do think bonds would make this team a winner. Whether you like him or not, you can’t deny that hes a better hitter than angel pagan. And he would do much better than Delgadoi n the 5th spot. He would currently lead the team in homers/rbi’s and obp. What i would do is platoon alou and bonds when alou comes back. Lefty/Rigthy. You limit their aperarences, so hopefully they both stay healthy, and they both mash lefties/righties respectivley. The two of them together is one outstanding hitter.
And he’s not playing for a paycheck. He has said that he would accept a huge paycut. He just wants to play baseball.
If Barry Bonds is the difference between closing shea in october or watching the braves or phills in the playoffs, your telling me youd rather watch the phills?

Message to above — Juan Pierre also doesn’t know what a strike zone is and is over 30 and has a tremendously weak swing.

Reyes hit two really hard liners that unfortunately got caught. Pierre is a lesser version of Luis Castillo.

Last year everything was fine until mid-September so I don’t get it.

Right now we are .500 and every one of our hitters are underachieving. Should David Wright and Reyes and Castillo and Beltran hit like normal we will be cruising. Our pitching has actually been fine outside of Heilman and Sosa so once again I have no idea what the point of this post is.

Last point I must make — Right now every team in the NL East but the MARLINS is a .500 team, just to show how early in the season it is, so shut your face.

It’s extremely early. EXTREMELY. So early that Beltran and Reyes combined are hitting .230. It’s time for you to shut up.

I was booing — At the umpire and at the Braves. I thought Pelf pitched fine. I didn’t understand any of the calls the ump was making.

It’s simple really — You can tell our players are making hitting way to complicated and as is Willie. Just wait for your pitch and hit it like Chipper Jones or Gregor Blanco did. You could tell how calm they were at the plate and they knew exactly when Pelf threw one up the middle before Pelf did. Willie’s signaling Reyes to bunt and all kinds of crap. There were pitchers we should’ve been hitting. Maybe this will all change when Delgado is dropped to backup and we get freakin’
Xavier Nady.

This offense sure seemed to be clicking on all cylinders when Church was in the 2 spot…maybe its just me.

Lets rush up Fernando Martinez to play right and try Church at first!!!

Do you think the majority of people WANT to boo?

You think fans who pay money to go to a stadium like booing their own team?

What gives you a monopoly on defining fan behavior?

You are just as delusionally optimistic as those who are pessimistically critically, except those who believe this team is in trouble have some basis in fact after last season.

Nothing but blind faith would lead someone to be as optimistic as you, and many of us had our faith exhausted last year.

So excuse us for being a little more cynical and grounded in reality this time around.
