1)his run-in with the law consisted of having sexual contact with a teenager while he was a teenager. This happened all the time when I was growing up and nobody got prosecuted. Of course, we were all white.

2)I haven’t listened to his rap album, but why does it matter? The bottom line is the Mets didn’t like him. That was clear from the get-go. And I think they spent the last couple of years trying to get Mets fans into not liking him as well. And if Metsblog is representative of the Mets fanbase, I think the Mets were pretty successful.

Sigh…while I corrected your comment at the beginning of this post for just being wildly incorrect, here I’ll have to go after your crazy cherry-picking of stats.

Wins for a pitcher is a stupid statistic (if you don’t believe me see Trachsel tied for the team lead in Wins in 2006). More telling is that he came into the game with something like a 3.3 ERA and 0 wins, meaning he wasn’t getting any run support.

Could we and should we have scored more runs? Absolutely. Lets not call him a “winless pitcher” like he’s Matt Chico (0-5 6.42 ERA)

Yeah Milledge banged a 15 yr. old when he was 18 and in hs. Lo Duca was in his thirties and is a mook. That’s the guy Mets fans should be booing.

I try not to engage people with idiotic opinions, since you can’t prove an opinion wrong. FACTS however i do like to correct, so here are some numbers for you regarding our 1,2,4 hitters. I took Castillo to be the #2 hitter.

(Avg, OBP, Slugging %, RBIs, Runs, Ks)
Millz: .252, .325, .345, 13, 16, 28
Reyes: .266, .335, .434, 13, 22, 20
Beltran: .246, .377, .444, 22, 28, 30
Castillo: . 245, .355, .292, 8, 16, 11

So based on the actual numbers and not your wild ranting, milledge has worse numbers than our 1 and 4 hitters. We’ll say the numbers are comparable to Castillo’s. And if we take Church to be our #2…

Lunacy dismissed, please resume your daily activities.

I’m with you, MetLifer. Apparently, I’ve taken a 20 year Rip Van Winkle nap and awoken to a whole different breed of Mets fans who find it “oh so offensive and unbecoming” to boo at the ballpark. And to boo someone in a Mets uniform? Oh my goodness. How crass and rude. To hear boos from the home crowd must make the poor players feel 1 inch tall and certainly in no mood to perform at professional level for the rest of the day. I’ll never do it again! And I would never eat a hot dog at Shea without Grey Poupon, either.

miledge has better numbers than reyes, beltran, delgado, castillo, schneider……….the list goes on. As of right now, our 1,2,4 hitters are no better than a pompous showboat with more energy than this team combined. Keep bashing met “fans” – in the end both the nats and the mets will be watching the playoffs.

those two runs he knocked in were 50% of what the whole mets lineup scored against a last place team and a winless pitcher.

I don’t like him but since when did Joba release an incredibly offensive rap album and have run ins with the law?

All this BOO talk is nonsense. Boo if you want. Cheer if you want. It’s a show of passion for a game you love. What’s worse is sitting there lifeless. As a baseball player, are you such a girly-man that you can’t take some booing? Is it gonna hurt your feelings. Are you going to cry? PULEEEZE.. Grow some thicker skin… for fans and playeres!
