lets go met, lets go mets, lets go mets.
The Cowbell Man is really starting to urk me.
I say we fire the Cowbell Man he is the rally killer!!!!!!!!
Schneider is catching and playing Dr. Phil for OP today. I feel good about that.
Happy Mothers Day to all of you, and LGM!
happy mothers day to all! hopefully ollie thinks it’s last mothers day and puts up another 8 1/3 solid innings!!
PS-on the reds feed, they just had a quick line from arroyo regarding last night saying that he noticed things that the mets were laying off of, so he just kept going with it…i guess no one on the mets staff realized this though……………….
Fire Jerry Manuel maybe?
Wow, On the Ed Coleman’s WFAN interview, Willie said Ollie needs to step up today and that he “put up a real stinker last time” Almost spilled my coffee when I heard that.
since its mothers day, lets say schneider is playing Dr. Melfi.
this isnt a must win game for the team, but i know the fans feel that way. boy, i cant even begin to fathom what kind of comments will appear on this thread if the mets lose this series.
over/under on fire willie comments: 37.5
Careful there I.R.
Melfi sounds like G r i f f e y.
That’s pretty low over/under for a Sunday game. Put me down for 10 bucks on the over regardless of game outcome.
Is there any action on the Fire Sandy line?
i checked the vegas odds:
the over/under on fire sandy comments is 13.5
LOL. That’s very smart.
6 pitches to the first batter. if we extrapolate, hell only face about 16-17 batters, meaning hell only go, at most, 5.2 innings. man our bullpen is done!
I’m just glad we aren’t playing the Brewers, I guarantee Bill Hall goes yard with that pink bat today.
Lets go mets
I love how Keith calls it the “Golden Glove.”
…and for those of you who have RCN (or maybe it was on other cable providers too) we are all now dumber for watching that Six Flags commercial.
…and may God have mercy on our soul!
Good inning thrown by Perez. Let’s hope he can get us a quality start.
Good start for Reyes
Looks like Slappy took some vitamins this morning
OH MY GOD! Did I just see Luis Castillo….. oh my god, I’m speechless.
did slappy just hit the ball to the outfield?
Triple by Castillo? WOW! Reyes got on base early…stole second and easily scored…Potential good omen?
Must be the pink bats!
keep it coming
Church playing with the flu? Interesting.
Church is one of the few on this team with a set.
Grapefruits! HA!
Way to go Alou!
oliver generally pitches to the opposition. if the opposing pitcher gives up 7 runs, he gives up 6-8. if the opposing pitcher gives up 2 runs, he gives up 1-3. lets hope he doesnt pitch to cuetos level.
Now there’s some positive thinking!
3 runs in the first. Should help Ollie keep his head together.
great line about alou from my buddy im watching the game with…
“they say alou can roll out of bed and get a hit, thats why hes always hurt, he doesnt stretch”
love the pink shoes on jose lol
Agreed the guys from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy dressed Reyes. LOL
Keppinger is the latest Met killer. Ugh.
i wonder if the reds will accept jose reyes for jeff keppinger. we can also add vicente padilla and a ham sandwich to the deal.
Is it good ham?
Probably Boars Head.
OP at bats usually the height of entertainment. Go Ollie.
