The Game:
The Mets (22-23) begin a three-game series versus the defending National League champion Rockies (18-29) tonight at Coors Field in Denver, starting at 9:05 pm EST.
The Lineup:
- SS Jose Reyes
- 2B Luis Castillo
- 3B David Wright
- CF Carlos Beltran
- 1B Carlos Delgado
- LF Marlon Anderson
- C Brian Schneider
- RF Endy Chavez
- P Oliver Perez
According to John Delcos of the Journal News, Ryan Church is not in tonight’s lineup due to dizziness.
The Pitchers:
LHP Oliver Perez (4-3, 4.25 ERA) takes the hill for the Mets. Perez earned a victory in his last start on May 18 versus the Yankees surrendering two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four over 7.2 IP. He leads the National League with an .094 batting average against left-handed batters this season. Perez is 4-4 with a 5.04 ERA in 12 career games, 11 starts, versus the Rockies.
RHP Greg Reynolds (0-1, 3.09 ERA) makes his third career start for the Rockies. In his last start on May 17 versus the Twins, Reynolds allowed no runs on three hits while striking out two and walking two. This is his first career start versus the Mets.
…i shudder every time i write, “this is his first career start versus the Mets“…

Gotta start this off correct
LETS GO METS
carlos gomez is on fire!!!!!!!
I MISS RYAN CHURCH! I’m all for him getting better and all, but I can’t wait for him to be back in our lineup (I’m pretty sure that he’s the only player that hits over .300 right now)
All we can do as fans, all we’re supposed to do as fans, is cheer for our team. Good or bad, right or wrong, just root, root, root for the Mets.
Let’s go Mets!
By booing you are showing your team that you are disappointed in their performance and your expectation as a fan. Most fans pay a lot of money to go to the games, buy their disgusting food or pay to have SNY on your cable package.
Booing has been going on for years. Why stop now, they need to know how the fans really feel. We are their real bosses as we pay their big time salaries.
Let’s Go Mets!
I am sure the advance scouts did their job and they have a good idea what Reynolds’ will be bringing to the party tonight.
Man, I wish Church were playing…get well ASAP Ryan…we miss you!!
We need a solid start from Ollie again. He pitched a great game in the Bronz…need a streak stopper tonight.
personally i’m gonna enjoy this game
because i have no expectation this team is gonna win another game this year
i think that might be going just a tad overboard there dykstraw
‘Step back from the ledge, straw’…..
hahaha
i’m sure they’ll win a couple by accident
but my point is that it’s much less upsetting now that i’ve accepted they are just bad
season’s not over yet. YA GOTTA BELIEVE!!
hah i was talkin about the same thing earlier today. you can still love the mets ,but it just becomes easier to watch if you dont expect anything at all. Its also how I watched the knicks.
ags412 you are correct
support your team folks
we are not losing this game
go OP!!!!
I may have to invoke the power of Wayne Garrett to get us through this game…don’t make me go Bruce Bosclair on your asses!
Oh mighty Wayne, please work your magic!
ahh another game without the heart and soul of this ball club
I love how there are 12 posts right now and theyre mostly positive but in 3 hours theres gonna be 800 posts and theyre gonna be full of hate, disgust, and suicidal ideation
That’s the spirit!
Mets lose tonight, Willie will be fired . . . true story
and how is this our fault?
im not blaming anyone, just pointing out that the progression of the comments during some of these miserable games has been pretty funny
do you blame the fans for being pissed?
it hasn’t even been 3 hours and the suicidal posts have already started. i still have faith that ollie can pull one together and that the offense can get going. am i alone in thinking this???
we need a quick start
we will win tonight
hope your right, i would probably kill myself if they get swept again
Willie’s best bet to keep is job is to let OP know it’s on the line tonight – OP is great under pressure, but is he toes the rubber thinking it’s just another game at Mile High, Willie is toast . . . true story
I know a guy named Luke Cropsey…he is not a Mets fan….true story.
Luke Cropsey is a poser . . . true story
Look, I’m a fan of the Mets and I strongly want what’s best for the team longterm. However, a win tonight would almost feel like a stay of execution because the power happened to be out a particular night.
watch the mets score early and never look back
i hope your right
Pray to St Jude . . . true story
not a strike there
again, not a strike
I’d love to be a fly on the wall to witness Little Jeffy’s temper tantrum tonight if OP implodes early . . . true story
Does anyone know whatever happened to the MetsBlog Memo that Matt was doing??
let the domination by this sht starter begin
Man what a weak lineup. I know Willie is handcuffed by injuries but the 5-9 is putrid. Should have started Castro tonight instead of Schneider to try and make up for the lack of pop.
as oppossed to the Mets strong lineup?
Great, 2 batters in and the guy has already matched his career high in Ks.
Good to see Jose and Luis have a clue getting up there.
This Reynolds kid looks as good as Campillo
the mets might make greg reynolds look like greg maddux… true story
Torrealba cycle tonight?
the wheels on the season ….
big field out there in colorado
Marlon moves like a gazelle
can we get a real left fielder in left? damn…
alou isnt a real left fielder!!!????
marlon anderson is playing?? what game are you watching lol
here comes our stopper – Oliver Perez
i’d rather bring up a youngster up to play left field. do we really need 3 catchers. by the way is it just me or does it seem like the rockies are tipping pitches against the mets every year
Gone…………
goodbye america
you guys remember when garrett atkins was a poor man’s david wright?
Game Over
you said it
lets the negativity begin to rain down…
That should just about do it for tonight.
Bye Willie, Good Luck in your next 3B coaching job.
todd “highway to” helton
im gonna drink myself to sleep … good night
woount woun wannnnnnnn
question for all of you out there…do you think if fernando martinez was healthy right now this would be his shot in left while alou is out..or to early?
no,, they wouldn’t bring him up.. he’s still a year away
Seriously, how many Mets fans in here honestly feel confident the Mets are coming back from this deficit?
3
if another run scores, it would take the biggest comeback of 2008 to win the game
Maybe we’ll need a little late inning endy “the catch” heroics tonight like last year…
that was at shea
i think we got swept in colorado
Dude the mets have come back from behind ONCE to win a ballgame in 2008. What comebacks have you been watching?
its only 2 nothing, we’ve come back from worse
not this season, you can look it up
your right, i was thinking of last year, you know before we began to suck… i’m still calling it now…. were coming back (i feel like being optimistic tonight)
Already the mets are sucking it up. I am so sick of this cuz they probably wont come back
by the way, ollie was up in the count 0-2 vs atkins… and 1-2 vs helton. spare me.
i feel like every oliver perez start is a microcosm of the mets season. you always feel things are going to implode, things are very inconsistent/streaky, opportunities are blown, and at the end of the day, both are underachievers
How long are they going to hold onto the jacket? Every single one of our pitchers gets 2 strikes on hitters and cant finish them off. I can understand if 2 or 3 were having that problem but the whole staff? Thats got to be on your pitching coach. The whole coaching staff has to be given pink slips.
my favorite part of these games is when burkhardt and yallof and the talking heads ask “is this the low point of the season?”
Its like every inning is the new low point Straw
we cant drive in runs with runners in scoring position and less than 2 outs, yet every team scores with 2 outs against us. this is exactly what the mets did not need
its hard to score runners in scoring position if no ones on base
we can only hope for a tie since we can’t score more then 2 runs
Finally
lets see if the rookie can destroy us now. We need a new team
brian schneider is the new giuseppe franco
Who cares what Guiseppe Franco says. What does the Zohan think we should do?
It’s just as well the Mets lose. It’s quite obvious this team doesn’t respond to Willie (if anyone) so why prolong his tenure with a couple of meaningless wins before the next swoon?
I wonder if a manager has ever been fired mid game?
i hate to say this, but i kind of agree with your sentiments. sure i dont want to see the mets lose, but if we drop 2 games, willie might go. i think willie being fired would make up for a few losses to the rockies.
Wait did anyone ever no Giuseppe Franco before the commerical, cuz he makes it sound like he’s famous.
Ive seen him a few times with Gary Busey
2008 slogan — The collapse is only the beginning
Just so you all know…my 1 1/2 year old daughter is now running around the house chanting “Willie Sucks”. Kids really do say the darndest things.
year and a half? she could be the reason the mets are cursed dude.
i mean i’m not saying anything. just maybe you need to check her for phanatic shaped birthmarks.
She actually was born on the trade deadline. We went into the delivery room and had Nady, and came out and had Perez. My wife still can’t believe it cuz she loved Nady.
that’s ridiculous
at least you got a kid in the tradeoff
Yes, we had met Nady in May of 2006. We had an awesome conversation, he played Gameboy with my son, offered us breakfast, and then, boom he’s gone.
here’s the youtube of the Willie sucks chant…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diZVPTRINFc
Am I the only one here that thinks Tatis should be starting in left over Anderson? I know its probably a lefty righty thing but Marlon can’t hit the broad side of a building. Why not give Tatis a chance. Can’t hurt right?
tatis in left field!?
He played some LF in spring training and Marlon is no gold glover out there
You got your wish. Anderson just exploded his hamstring into 1000 pieces.
Hernandez_1b for manager, given Tatis’s performance.
All I can say is WOW!
I’m not even mad anymore just because I’m so used to it. This team isn’t going anywhere with this manager and until the realize that they could be at least 15 games out and 10 below .500.
I’m the same. I’m just hoping delgado K’s here so he doesn’t hit into a DP.
I got my wish =) Sit down delgrampa!
How cute teach her to say get rid of Delgado
We really tried. Too many syllables.
Let the streak continue its like ripping a bandaid off instead of pulling slowly.,, and when i say bandaid i mean ENTIRE coaching staff.
at what point does delgado consider shortening his swing. sorry buddy, you dont have the bat speed anymore. if you want to get that bat speed back, give roger clemens a call
its the second inning and he just threw his career high for strikeouts…. 3….. i think i’m going to be sick
And Delgado K’s to stay out of the DP… way to go Carlos
Don’t you think Delgado would retire mid-season to spare some embarrassment? I’m sure the mets would throw him some dough to compensate the buy out.
This guy Reynolds is an all time great. It’s so obvious. He is up there with the great Campillo and Gorzelany. When is his HOF induction?
mets forever, i thought you were immigrating to red sox nation.
can’t stay away.
I may lose the remote to Red Sox nation. My wife can’t stand my screaming at the TV much longer.
Hey! Dont get ahead of yourself. First he has to have his number retired.
We should just get rid of Marlon Anderson and Easley. I hate them there old, bring up fresh blood.
So when do NFL preseason games start? August? That’s only 3 months away!
It’s sad, I’m not even angry about the way the Mets play anymore. It’s just a kind of resigned apathy.
wow. CRAZY PROPS to the vocal mets contingent out there.
Meet me at the Marina Saturday for the Mets vs. Dodgers game, our group has the huge FIRE WILLIE sign. A new sign will be in full effect, if Willie isn’t gone by next Saturday, hopefully he’s outta there!
i really think that sign is gonna be obsolete
unless the new manager is also named willie
Heyman on the pregame was saying insiders say Willie “has the year.” Please let the “insiders” be smoking pot.
how is heyman an insider? or any of these national guys?
like really, how do they have the inside track on the ny beat writers?
omar isn’t out there to ski. and they’re not meeting with the owners on monday to barbecue.
who likes frank robinson for half the year?
i think were on pace to shatter the previous comments record.
This trend will continue for another 2 weeks, until we’re 10 games below .500, then people stop watching for the season.
Bring Bobby Valentine back! Willie sucks
so, whose our next manager? anyone know?
jerry manuel on an interim basis. the wilpons will probably get a real manager after the year ends. bobby v anyone? jack mckeons ghost? barack obama? isiah thomas?
Hillary Clinton? She’s gonna be looking for a job once she losses to Barack.
good point
Happy to hear the Mets are relaxed. That’s fantastic
is it possible to demote Delgado to the minors
can someone spike delgados water bottle with hgh please?
I think you’re thinking of the other “first baseman” from new york
Oh, now he goes.
Any way the mets can stay out in Colorado??? I think we all just need a break…
Said it before and I’ll say it again, the fact that no one was held accountable for last season’s collapse was worse than the collapse itself. If you ran a corporation that way you’d be shipped out the door with you multi-million dollar pension in no time.
do you know Reyes was hitting over 300 until he got benched. after that he’s been hitting 260
Non-sequitor of the evening.
I want Mazz or Bobby V at least he brought us to a world series with a crappy team in 2000. If you think about it we just had 6 good guys on that team. He can turn it around but hes in Japan so we would have to wait until the end of the season.
I don’t know if I’d call the 2000 team crappy.
The 2000 team wasn’t very good. We got extremely lucky.
jay payton timo perez and benny agbayani in the outfield
I seriously hope you’re not making a case that they were a GOOD outfield.
no, that they suck that’s all
since we are now learning that Willie has the year can we PLEASE concentrate on winning some games ???
who said that?
Jon Heyman citing “mets insiders” on the pregame show.
Jesus Christ! You gotta be kidding me? Now I hope they get their asses kicked tonight.
Worst decision since the Seaver trade!
keith hernandez’s daughter is chubby. hope he doesnt read this
i wonder if her hair grows as beautiful as his
I wonder if she dies her upper lip blonde.
sorry dyes* i’m a little drunk already, thats what this team will do.
Keith’s daughter is a CARDINALS FAN! DISOWN THAT wh0re!
“physical problem”, a.k.a he liked winning
She got many many rolls, she needs to start doing crunches, quickly.
o great. oliver perez is hurt! lets bring back nelson figueroa
and by the way, only oliver perez could walk the opposing pitcher on 4 pitches
OP SUCKS, he’s injured.
Re: Keith’s daughter
Wow…you guys are cruel. What’s Keith done to you?
I want to play the Yankees everyday. Then we would win
did he just walk the pitcher on 4 pitches…. i’m afraid to watch what happends next
I think RP should’ve given OP the jacket to pass on some of the magic
if youre brian schneider, what can you possibly say to oliver perez. if theres such thing as manny being manny, can we start “ollie being ollie”
i think this might be the night ollie finally walks off the field crying
you mean hops over the white foul line crying
They’re right. He’s not finishing. You dont see him falling off to the thirdbase side like he usually does. He’s not even bringing his arm all the way across and down.
Watch his arm. It stays on his leftside. Doesnt come across thus leaving it outside.
Could you imagine Keith as our manager.
Stuck with the colorado feed…any comments from the SNY booth about Willie/
Yes, Gary just said Willie will be getting fired because “well, he’s black” and SNY keeps putting the camera on him standing in the dugout after every ball Ollie throws, not sure why because they’re not showing him after Ollie throws a strike.
tony armas has beenpitching well in the minors although his record doesn’t show it since ollie is showing signs of alouitis
Oliver is one of Omar’s latin guys that has divided the clubhouse. Next year we should take the 17mil delgado is making and invest it in texiera, and teh 20 mill pedro and perez are making and invest it in lacky and a 5 starter.
see the mistake your making is the words next year with delgado, the faster he’s off this team the better
dear ny mets,
can you at least make this game watchable?
OLLIE BEING OLLIE
The Rockies radio announcers (XM) also noted mechanics problems.
The mets should also bribe Luis Castillos consulate to “loose” his visa in the mail
Luis Castillo probably doesn’t know what a post-game interview is.
come on he deosnt have time to talk to reporters, he;s gotta ice his knees after games
Thats the only solution at 2nd.
We have Gotay……oh wait I forgot
We have Jeff Keppinger…….oh wait I forgot
anderson hernandez can hit 240 and give up better D
how about lee mazilli for manager?????
Like Miggy, he forgot how to speak English.
miggy also forgot his birth year
By the way when Delgado goes to the mound and “shows leadership”, he is probably just saying don’t let them hit the ball down to 1st
He was just asking OP how his glasses looked on the back of his neck
He’s stepping towards first when he throws, and his arm is getting slowed down on the follow through by running more quickly into his body (which is moving towards 1st while his arm moves home)
mazz would win us 90+ game
Unfortunately, MLB rules don’t allow combining two seasons into the win total.
This is bad and the worst part is that they is NO help in the minors. This is going to be a long year. I bet Johan wishes he was pitching elsewhere now.
See where his arm went on that slider? Across his body with his hand stopping across his right thigh. HAs to do that on every pitch
he just hit 90 there.
Frank, the great Robinson should be manager. Peoplle give Accta credit for winning 70 games in Wash., but Frank was in playoff contention, long after trading Vlad.
i agree with him as a short term fix. at least he’s a hall of famer not some second baseman who was lucky to play on certain teams. it funny the great coaching job willie did in the AL last week. oh yeah that’s right you don’t have to think over there
Hey guys, remember when the Giants won the superbowl? That was good times…
(I’m holding onto that for dear life)
Might as well give Yogi a chance too, everybody else’s name has been throw out…
Maybe the Aflac duck is free to take over
Becoming manager over yodi would perminently ruin his friendship with Yogi
Plus Frank actually has the stats to say to delgado “you suck”
Times like these make you appreciate Bobby V. It just goes to show that you don’t apprieciate a good thing till its gone
you guys are funny still naming new managers when it was already reported that Willie Randolph is not getting fired
so sorry to dissappoint you
i just want you to know, i’m not agreeing with you, i’m ignoring you
word
Oh if its being reported it must be true…….Omar is probably in Colorado for no reason……
You don’t show up your manager untill you fire him unless your George stienbreneur
One “s” in “disapoint.”
And, if that is true, it is the worst Mets decision since trading Seaver.
i love ollie’s batting stance
195 posts in the top of the 3rd inning, enough said
im projecting 1500 posts if the mets lose
i was actually upset when booby V was fired, damn steve phillips
My friend says that Willie only knows how to coach at yankee stadium. He was a great bench coach with the yankees and owns the yankees as manger
who wants to bet reyes pops up
I’d take you up, he cold strike out or ground into a doubble play
Keith’s dad didn;t want him getting mixed up in drugs, hmmm
that’s why he gave most of them to daryl and dwight
go jose !!
mets will take the lead here
have you follow the mets for the last week?
Bobby V would be a prima donna if he came back. I think he’d have a “told you so” type of attitude. Any of u guys see “the zen of Bobby V” on ESPN? His head is soooo big right now I’m afraid he’d want too much power and be verrry stubborn.
I mentioned it yesterday…Tony Pena for manager.
hows dwight doing?
mets dont score this inning they are almost certain to lose this game even if its early
Doest anyone know what happened to m00kie, haven’t seen him post in a while?
where’s isiahrandolph?
im shocked on what just happened
slapp[ppppy!
4 more years 4 more years lol
Casillo couldn’t have done that last night in the 8th inning
Easy to get him out lefthanded. Throw low and inside. Grounds out to second everytime.
Big Slapi
oh boy castillo sure does stink right fellas ?????
Yes he still does…..
maetsarebest,
You are new here (at least your username is) and you are not making friends.
I know Phillies fans like you love to goad us and love to see us hold on to our incompetent, delusional manager. But, at the end of the day, you still live in Philly.
play by play?
Castillo should be starting for new orleanes
fastballs in and sliders away can anyone let wright know this it’s been going on all year
curiously, whats the origin of slappy mcsingleton?
please someone let him know
Why don’t the mets have someone like Holliday
what’s wrong with marlon anderson
they do, dont they….oh no wait no no they have castillo & delgado
Nice, Castillo didn’t throw home.
Should mets get Mark Teixiera
I think he might be playing in another borough next year.
another boras client who will do nothing after he gets paid
The mets should take the 17mil delgado is making and invest it in texiera, and teh 20 mill pedro and perez are making and invest it in lacky and a 5 starter.
Is C.C a free agent next year too? Cuz Minaya likes him.
I could see C.C as a yankee but not Mark.
i have to give props to willie i think he holds the record for the lowest batting average for a starter in the all star game in 81 he hit 234
This is where he should bunt, leading off an inning
Nope, he likes the shift too much
agreed… delgados got a lay it down every so often
I mean I can see hitting away with two outs or guys in scoring position, but leading off an inning he should be looking to bunt.
we can’t pick up CC don’t you remember we’re racist here in NY
delgado: “how do you hit sliders in the dirt?”
Ground out to 2nd…….go Delgado
Looks like Willies gonna stay….. we will finish 81-81
Another Injury
Looks like Willies gone……Omar wouldnt answer the question
right there is why you bring a fricking OUTFIELDER up
we can put casanova in left. dont you know anything?
Oh, this just cannot be happening….
Looks like a hammie to me.
Anderson going down can only help the Mets……
Wish I didn’t agree with you. But in the middle of the inning? With no bench? Not exactly the way I wanted to see what the young talent can do…
can this season end now?
NEXT!!!!
are you so called fans listening ??
OWNERSHIP SUPPORTS WILLIE
so here is your chance to bail out on your team right now
willie randolph is your manager and if you cant deal with it then find another team
What are you listening to????? Did you hear Burkart say Omar wouldnt answer when he was asked if Willies was in danger???
what are you listening to because he said he supports willie and the owners support willie and they are going to meet to talk it over and put it behind them
willie stays !!
You are truely clueless……
no you are stupid
let me repeat it for you
‘willie is our manager and he has the support of me and our ownership’
is that too hard to understand ?????????
Actually, it is incomprehensible.
there being nice right now while there having dinner discussing the fate of the team
He chose he words because he would not commit that Willie was not in imminent danger. Even Burkhardt alluded to that.
Fernando Martinez
I thought Fmart was hurt also.
Cassanova!
Paging Ricky Ledee.
Another one bites the dust
Eerily reminds me of the Chavez injury
give me a bat i can hit .023
why the hell would they have 3 catchers
Marlon Anderson appears to have a hamstring injury, for those of you not watching.
“mets fans, what have we done to deserve this? repent”-keith hernandez…
did cohen really suggest putting schneider in left?
can someone please give me an update… My husband’s watching a stupid movie!
marlon anderson popped his hamstring
your husband’s a loser
Yeah, I know, he hates the Mets.
Wow another hamstring injury, this is getting ridiculous. Maybe the strength and conditioning coach should go to.
Omar, wake the phuck up!!! Get another outfielder!!!
You dont want to know…go watch the movie with him and save yourself
I feel for you. So is mine. Thank god I’ve got a TV card on my PC and can watch SNY on this. Side bennie is reading the comments at the same time….
Gotta love Willie and Omar unecccesarily having three catchers and no legitimate backup outfielders.
cassanova was called up to free castro to be a bat of the bench w out the worry of burning the back up Catcher, w situation were in now, castro might be best bet to pinch hit, ESP NOW THAT MARLON aka WORLDS BEST PINCH HITTER will be done til July at least
F-it. Call up F-mart!
f-marts hurt. lets call up gomez (.286, 4 homers, 17 rbis, 16 steals + a cycle
fmart is injured
injured fmart is better than anything they’re fielding right now
i think ted berg’s pascucci wish is gonna come true.
sorry marlon.
sniper got him bad, poor guy could barely walk, so now for the next weke or so our corner OF will be chavez and easley
for a big market team in NY how is it possible for us to have such pathetic major league talent to play the OF
fernando….tatis????
remember, this is the same guy ppl have been begging to see in action, so nows the chance
martinez (OF) was hurt and i just found out he got hurt again on may 18. So we need Gomez
he’s getting injuries that he could play through but he’s being babied through the system
What’s with the injuries!?! FIRE the Trainer!
But seriously, can’t someone on the team run out to help Marlon off the field? Willie and the trainer have to act like crutches. Didn’t we all see a few weeks ago where opposing players helped a girl softball player circle the bases…good team spirit Mets.
i seriously wouldn’t mind bringing him up though when healthy
ditto
I say dive Castro a 1st baseman’s glove (he can’t be any worse then delgado) and throw him out there
worst idea ever
not a bad idea at all! castro should be playing in this park anyway
SIGN BONDS!!!..haha hey the season cant get much worse.
Damion Easley is probably unavailable because his favorite episode of FRIENDS is on.
who is playing in RF now?
endy….tatis is in left methinks
You don’t wanna know
“Just for homeruns”
Nady…. isn’t Omar here. Tom. he will talk to the pirates lol
anyone hear omars press conference? apparently he pledged his and the wilpons support of willie as the manager. According to Eddie C the indication is that willie is the manager for the foreseeable future. My guess is that wilpons are seeking to rename their new stadium Ghost-Citi Field!
‘willie is our manager and he has the support of me and our ownership’
that is what omar said
citifield will be sold out every game next year
willie will be the manager and we are going to the playoffs this year
If this is indeed true…I’ll be back when he’s gone. I’m waiting until Monday to get the truth, because he shouldn’t make it past Sunday.
This is absurd. What are the Wilpons smoking?
Willie MUST go!
Burkhart spoke of this as well, although he mentioned that when Omar was asked directly if willie is in any imminent danger of losing his job he paused before responding that he has the support of the gm and the owners. Kevin and the sny crew did not think that that was a ringing endorsement, nor a direct answer. we will see. unfortunately, for those who really want willie gone it looks as though they have to lose more games.
Ah. That makes more sense. This “metsarebest” troll is really irritating.
i wouldn’t worry about it. if this team continues to lose, he’s gone.
phils, marlins, and bravos all lost
you forgot to add the mets to the list
crap on Ollie all you want ….. he is battling right now…. this is the type of start i would like to see him be successfull in more so than the yankee game where he was dominant …
this is the type of starts he needs to conquer in order to take that next step …. not your best stuff … not your best stuff mentaly neither, but find a way to keep your team in the game…..
needs to avoid that blow up inning tonight …..
lets go offense
but the mets can’t score more then 2 runs so hopefully we can bang out a tie and go into penalty kicks
How many pitches is he up to?
I love Ollie. Would like to see him prove everyone wrong and win 15+. Of course Boras talking him into the ‘Arod mindset of free agency’ will have him believing he can get a billion dollar contract….
Where’s Mini-Manny Victor Diaz when you need him??
That was like the pitch the kid through in Rookie Of The Year.
Now this is going to be the excuse they use to take the heat off Willie. “Were a little banged up” is going to be a major talking point in interviews..
Yeah but the nationals win moving us only a few games above the cellar
Should have caught that on the fly. Cant take a chance like that the way things have been going.
No matter what happens in these three games. I’ll never forget what Willie said about the fans and never think of him the same again.
lol
sounds like one of the ‘fire willie’ club is giving up the fight !!
smart thinking
willie sucks i’m not giving it up he’d have to win 90% of his games the rest of the year for me to give it up
and tonight we learned that he will get that chance
that mean monday is gonna be a very interesting night at shea.. he’s gonna get hammered.
goonies never say die
That’s a very good point.
Aside from the Mets’ play on the field, Willie’s comments over the past week were insane, insulting, and a fireable offense by themselves.
It’s hard to root for a manager who clearly hates Mets fans.
this is the only organization where the loss of a .170 hitter is a major loss…God can’t be a Met fan because if he was it would have been delcrappo pulling a hammy.
He would actually have to run for this to occur.
all i have to say is bring up Valentino Pascucci
haha
However we dont need a veteran….. we need a rookie gary
its hard to pull a hammy when you never get a hit.
think about how we scored our only run- chavez had an infield single and castillo drove in chavez on a half swing blooper
what ever happened to chip ambres? is he still in our system cause of so we should bring him up considering there rly isnt anyone else
nope he’s gone. The guy dominated in AAA and batted like 400 against leftties but i guess Ricky Ledee was better???
he’s elsewhere
and then Gary Cohen can say the same thing 10 seconds later…
Time to trade Heilman for Murton
endy chavez swings like hellen keller
the whole team has been swinging like helen keller
Time to bring in the camp down races….Duda Duda. Bring him up. He’ll already know he wont be staying up.
you know who I wouldn’t mid the mets trading for, Scot podsednick or coco crisp
This team is one firecracker and one bottle of bleach away from being the 92 mets
Typical the rookie beats us.
Can SNY rerun the three great Mets games in the Ultimets Classics bank instead of this crap? It went from laughable to really pathetic and sad real quick.
maybe greg reynolds will be the cy young this year
Actually The team is only one more month of willie away from that fate
I think we should sign the Little Bit of Luck guy…..
things are going to change now that willie knows he has the support of his bosses
they are going to work things out and the players will play better
that should be what a real fan wants
Thats what I wanted last year this is 2008
I must of missed something.. Who said this and when?
ahhh..the good ol days. Maybe we can get bret saberhagen for pitching coach and vince coleman for the outfield
Kevin is trying to make us feel better by telling us the rockies was 44-44 is the first half.
is kenny lofton still a free agent??
barroid bonds is
all kidding aside Barry Bonds would still singlehandedly put this team in the playoff hunt.
I just wouldnt sign a cheater but thats just me
will we see heilman in a tight game in the 8th tonight
When will they stop saying this team is “Built to win Now” and start saying “Built to win 2 years ago”
he is but idk
i say we bring heilman to the minors and make him a starter and trade him. Hes only 29 right
I say we trade him for Murton
heilman for murton would be beautiful
very true matt
come on ollie. please no 2 out rallies!
I’m going to start watching the game to see if they can get more hits than Giuseppe Franco commercials
Cant we put Santana out in leftfield?
No way, that’s a certain deathtrap. Alou, Marlon…things tend to come in threes, except Mets runs.
or first
well he did start out as a center fielder…
COME ON SCHNEIDER CATCH THE FRICKING BALL
brian schneider is rediculously overrated defensively
he needs to stop closing his eyes when the ball comes close
2006 was our year….. and we didnt win
LaRussa outmanaged Willie…what can you do. I’m used to it by now.
I think it had to do more with not having our #2 pitcher, who was in his prime at 49 available for the NLCS.
dear god
Ollie’s past his pitch limit and its showing.
it’s a miracle that we are only down by 1 run
I’m gonna hire Tanya Harding to break Ollie’s knees
lineup for next few weeks if we had a better manager:
SS Reyes
RF Church
CF Beltran
3B Wright
1B Delgado
LF Pascucci
2B Castillo
C Schneider
So we hope the first 4 batters do some damage? Cause you know that bottom half isnt going to do a thing.
you need to pack the top half of your order- better than to waste the good bats/at-bats with crappy hitters.
and castillo’s OBP/ Pascucci/Delgado’s semi-power won’t be horrific
no chance willie calls up a career minor leaguer and plays him over the great Damion Easley.
Free Pasucci!!
OMG WE SUCK SO BAD GET HIM OUT
Why even take a bat up to the plate ??????
willies crapping his pants…
i think i’m getting an ulcer from all of these walks
Both Howie and the Colorado announcers killing Willie for not having goten pen going sooner for Mr. 7 walks.
They should. Have I been really wrong about his pitch count? At 85 pitches he begins to lose it. Its obvious to us, why not them? When he gets close to 85 someone has to get up in the pen.
2 out rallies…. every single time
Is Johan pitching on Tuesday against the Marlins? I haven’t been to a game yet this season and I want to buy picnic area seats for tuesday.
try stubhub… tickets should be going on the cheap now
yeah I know but $10 tickets doesnt seem too much for picnic area seats. Does anyone know if it is still free on Wednesdays if you bring a pepsi can?
I was told last season that picnic area seats are now only group sales unless it is a Kids Fan Club day
If you sign up for mets flash news they send emails about cheap picnic area seats. Jets night tickets are for $20
go to the promotions part of the tickets section of the Mets website and type either METRO or LIRR and there should be discounted tix available.
Will Ollie ever put back-to-back “good Ollie” starts together?
hey guys, its not too late to get the 7 pack
a 7 pack of delirium tremens?
It’s not too late too drink a 6-pack either
Too many have gone for the 6 pack already.
bad ollie would’ve given up 7 runs in 4 innings tonight, so mediocre ollie is progress.
david is trying too hard… hes really feeling the heat
did david not hustle there? i dont see how he was thrown out
What’s going on with this old club perception with the Mets Reyes 24, Wright 25, Beltran 31, Church 29, Santana 29 Maine 26, Perez 26, Pelfrey 24, Smith 24, and Sanchez 29.
4 of our 5 starters are either in their prime or just below it. 3 of the remaining 8 position players on the field are all stars which 2 haven’t reached their full potential yet and Church is making a bid for the all star team in which people should be doing there best to get him in this year, hin hint fans going to the games soon.
Granted we have Alou, Pedro, El Duque, and Delgado but that’s only 4 players past their prime. Has anyone looked at other teams such as the Phillies and Yankees who are much older.
Wright looks lost. Maybe Delgado can mento him. No wait, I mean Beltran. No wait I mean …
Rick Down anyone???
why would we want that guy back.. He wasn’t very good…
i dont think its a coincidence the mets havent hit since he’s left.
oh yeah, leadoff walk and two quick groundouts by the 3-4 hitters.
WILLIEBALL!
Finally
i love coors
OMG: is this a dream?
stop the hating on delgado
i’m not alone! thank you!
Is he still bored?
utterly huge…
i swear i just saw delgado hit a huge clutch HR
someone adjust my set
What happened?!
about freaking time
CARLOS DELGADO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the winning streak starts right now
Are you on crack?
you want them to lose ??
Of ocurse not, that’s why I want the Willie-era to end.
Everyone is down on this team even Gary C. first broadcast that as a ‘fly ball to center’…..
it was, it just carried well
no. way.
castillo and delgado with al the ribbies tonight.
back to back….
O FERNANDO!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!
YES !!! YES !!!
There’s no place like Coors. There’s no place like Coors. There’s no place like Coors.
LOL ! good one.
tatis just bought himself a start or 2 or 3
Yes mets hit lots of back to back hrs this year
just wanna say i’ve been on the tatis bandwagon since his first AB here
Good thing Willie hasnt been playing him.
heilman anyone?
ill bet u $5 we see heilman
hmmmm what???
fernando tatis really thanked god right there. i love seeing jose on the top step of the dugout, and i want to see that more
1 Homerun doesn’t make up for a month and a half of errors, K’s , bad situational hitting (yesterday) and bitching out when faced with a post – game interview Delgado
you are NOT a fan
You ARE a troll.
supporting my team makes me a troll ????
You come on the day Willie is on the hottest seat defending only Willie against the tide of opinion and in a totally uneducated, get in peoples’ faces kind of way. I have yet to see you support your team…assuming the Mets even are your team.
delgado has actually been playing better of late, check the stats
gary just said he was 1 for his last 16
that seems like “of late” to me
hits in 13 of his last 18 games…
ditto
funny what a vote of confidence for our manager can do for a struggling team
Grow up.
yeah right
you wanted willie gone but in a week you will be talking about how he managed to turn it around
or you will say they win in spite of him
why do you hate him
you don’t really want me to answer that question…
Metsarebest,
Let me count the ways:
He had no managerial experience before being hired.
He has no idea how to manage the NL game.
It took him a season and a half to have even a modicum of a grasp of the basics of the double-switch.
He led the greatest collapse in the history of baseball and a full calendar year of sub-.500 ball.
He showed himself this week to be utterly deluded – I mean, do you want to defend those remarks? It’s all Bill Webb and SNY’s fault? Really? Oh, and Mets fans were in hiding til he came? Defend that!
He has failed to adequately address the clubhouse division.
He has failed to get large swaths of his team to hustle.
He has failed to get large swaths of his team to play sound fundamental baseball.
He has failed in handling the press.
He has succeeded….in leading Jose Reyes to regress.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how everyone was on the top step waiting for him applauding. LETS GOO METS!
A two-out Mets rally?
This cannot be the Mets?!?
Can Tetis play 2nd base?
About as much as he has leftfield. But thats all you get out of him. Its all or nothing a la Dave Kingman but with a little less power.
if the Mets win Delgado will run to reporters
Ollie try to keep it under 2 walks this inning. You’ve done good with the Houdini act this game but you’ve gotta get your head straight for this one.
this is a series that a guy like tatis or castro can thrive in. notoriously hitter-friendly park.
we know who’ll be starting in left tomorrow…. (probably easley)
Not to bring Tatis down…but I hat that Sky-pointing crap.
Short leash for Ollie.
typical met fans getting excited on a few hits, this is Coors and these are the Mets4 more innings to complain about the game give it time for the utter disappointment to occur
no one is excited… this lead is not nearly enough
If they go to the ballpen I would like to see schowenwise and feliciano, not hielman or matt wise
anyone think we could get tracy from arizona for heilman?
Thats actually interesting, but I don’t think willlie or omar has the balls to start him over Delgado. Might be good for next year
wow ollie’s balls:strikes ratio is really atrocious
It is obvious by the fact that the balls procedes the strikes. It should be the strike to ball ratio
Who let the batboy pinch hit?
I still have virtually zero faith in the Mets holding this lead
here comes the sledgehammer to crush your hopes for the day, don’t you hear it coming
willie should just be fired for letting perez start this inning
GET HIM OUT OF THERE! YOU’RE TWO BATTERS TOO LATE!!!!
I mean, c’mon Ollie. He is a girl. GET SOME OUTS.
Should never had started that inning. He was already past his pitch count and obviously done.
the fact that Colorado only has 2 runs this game is a miracle in itself.
You’ve got that right. Can’t believe he held ‘em to 2. Of course the two on base right now belong to him….
Go Joe Smith!!
another walk, another ulcer forming… damn 110 pitches in 6 ninnings
Buy or Sell: They are losing at the end of the inning.
sell- they’ll tie it and walk-off in the ninth
Whatever is more heartbreaking….
there is no way they are losing tonight
how long have u been a mets fan for???????
whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
let the fun begin
how do u really feel
no way they were losing yesterday
you WANT them to lose
No…you are delusional…
He IS Willie- delusional as well as brainpower challenged and no grasp on reality.
Hey, metsarebest, is it still Bill Webb’s fault?
i have a extra ticket at face value for monday night mezz box behind home plate anyone want to meet at gateC
brilliant. guy walks the bases loaded and we give him another inning. why push your luck when you NEED a win?
Bud Fox: Why do you need to wreck this company?
Gordon Gekko: Because it’s WRECKABLE, all right? I took another look at it and I changed my mind!
Omar = Gordon Gekko
I’m not in the mood for that comment
wheel play! manage to win!
wheel play??????????????? the mets have that
i was asking, not reporting
Hey do we actually know how to sacrafice squeeze to ?!?!?!?!?
little fat kid from league of their own: your gonna lose
gotta love willie not letting smith pitch a scoreless inning. instead, he wanted to let oliver perez pitch past his ability, and, win or loss be damned, pitch while tired.
what an incredible manager we have.
ballgame
Schowingwise please
It was a nice feeling having the lead for a whole 6-7 minutes
the worst part is that this inning is far from over
Yup, not surprised at all
Maybe it’s for the best that they lose…
To anyone saying Willie should not be fired for the Mets not hitting- you are right.
HE SHOULD BE FIRED FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO MANAGE A BASEBALL GAME—WHICH IS HIS JOB! Can’t start Perez this inning.
Absolutely awful baseball. We get a 2 run lead and it zaps away, literally, within 10 minutes.
Pathetic ballclub.
do you think BoBBY Cox would have taken him out? Oh wait am i being racial
Worse, you are being Bill Webb!
There are so many reasons why he should be fired…I am getting carpal tunnel from trying to talk sense into these people.
It’s more difficult to come up with reasons for him NOT to get fired
funny the owners disagree
Only in your mind….
Burkhardt – “Is Willie in imminent danger of losing his job”
—long pause
Omar – “Willie has the support of me and the owners”.
Interpretation for the denser folks…
Long pause – I need to come up with words that let me go either way
Omar’s quote – We support him right now because we have no choice. I’m not answering if he is in danger.
lol, this team is comedy gold.
heilmann/endy for xman. now. get it done.
I wouldn’t think that is nearly enough to get Nady.
and willie wonders why ppl want him fired
Hint to Willie Randolph:
Its not cause your black
Nope. Definitely because of SNY’s camera angles.
Obviously.
Now, be a typical Met fan and “hide.”
kill me now.
If Willie owned a funeral parlor nobody would die!
fernando tatis…. web gem?
goldglove catch lol
One huge reason for canning Willie — clueless with handling the pitching — why do you let Perez stay in the game. Already had 7 BB’s and over 100 pitches.
Does he really want to this losing streak to continue?
But where is the jacket in all this? Its been obvious to us that Ollie begins to lose it around 85 pitches. The jacket keeps the pitch count. He circles the pitch number every game when Ollie shows he’s losing it. Its showing the same thing we see, so where is he letting Ollie stay in there? The jacket is the one thats telling Willie that he can stay out there. The jacket has to go too.
isnt atkins available as a FA this off season?
he has played 1st some for the rocks, lets make a bid for him
no can do he’s not hispanic
neither are church wright schiender maine etc
the whole latin players only thing has kinda been beaten to death, compare the mets roster to other teams…
same reason for not going after C C next year, the fans don’t like black people
Perez is really worth that contract that his agent and him want. One good start bunched between 4 bad ones…quality quality…Let him go with a kick in the a$$ after the season. Make him some elses problem…8 walks
Even Boras will struggle to sign this train wreck to a fat contract…oh wait here comes Omar with pen in hand.
I wish the Mets could just field 9 Fernando Tatis’
I give the Mets a 11.1% chance of winning this game. Based on my completely subjective calculations.
Thats only if you use the Cerrone poll where “no confidence” = 10%
gut check time for the Mets.
Willie happened to notice the OP was due up inteh 7th and thought he’s save himself a pitcher if OP could get thru the 6th.
Howd that work out for him????
Perez — 8 BB’s. Is this really the majors?! How does a guy walk 8 hitters?
It’s ridiculous, I mean, I KNOW the Mets are losing this game, yet I continue to watch this crap
why isn’t he using casanova or castro here, you might need easly to pinch run later in the game
See with such a short bench, he should be pinch hitting Santana to sacrifice here. At least if he doent do it he can still swing the bat.
Mets games are to me what crack is to crack-whores.
well put
crack is cheaper. and more fun.
crack is wack.
crack is for poor people
Wow! Endy first-to-third and no hamstring injury!
hit and run? oh my were in business now
cmon jose stay hot
chavez? easley? this is getting weird
I think that was the first hit and run that Willie has ever run
come on jose…be patient
earlier in the evening i said that Willie Randolph was not going to be fired and the mets were not going to lose this game
i am damn good at this
Where were you in September?
the question is where will i be in october
i will be watching the NEW YORK METS
i guess i am the only one here who thinks so
that’s a shame
Isnt it past your bedtime?
it bothers you that not everyone will be negative and boo their own team doesn’t it
It bothers us when we see people who are sick. It is so sad. Delusions like Willie’s “It is SNY’s fault I look bad” or your “We’re going to October with Willie” sentiments are just sad. We all hope that you and Willie get the help you need.
castillo blows. how does someone so “fast” kill us with so many DPs?
can’t wait to see matt wise in this game.
sac fly ill take it
reyes needs to get a hit there
sorry, rbi or not that was an AWFUL job by reyes
agreed 100%
1 run is just nothing in this park
ditto
Reyes has never been a smart hitter. Same goes for Beltran
will take it
it’s a good thing willie started endy today for his hustle, oh i forgot he had no other choice because no one else is an outfielder. good thing endy has been on the bench all year.
Whats the chances of another hit and run here?
Better still: What are the chances of a hit here?
we got the lead back, all that matters
how many times can we say that luis castillo sucks?
and he’s here for anther 3 years after this one too.
good call on the hit and run, 2 in one inning, impressive
luis “double play” castillo
millions
i hear the chants on the blog:
chants: HEILMAN HEILMAN HEILMAN
haha heilman only comes it when hes at his best.
right in the middle of an inning to give up the HR
Chances of Easley staying in to play second and putting the new pitcher into Castillos spot so not to waste another pinch hitter later?
Nothing uglier than a hit and run involving 2 guys that cant run. That looked like Rusty Staub on first and Kirk Gibson at the plate. Ugly.
what are the chances the phillies are dumb enough for a one for one trade castillo for utley haha
i’m going to lay off Schoeneweis this year he’s been doing a great job so far
i just looked at carlos delgado’s 2000 stats on the blue jays:
frightening
Same with his 2007 and 2008 numbers
you should look up at willie’s stats for fun and see how good he was and how clutch he was in the playoffs as a player
is it me or Wise gives up a HR every appearance he makes
omar should’ve pocketed that $13 or so million and just let carlos muniz pitch: guarantee he could go the season with something like a 4.20 ERA, much cheaper option than making a stupid signing like he did with wise
he’s just signed to a 1-year, $1.2M deal.
nothing like going from 0-2 to a walk when you’re the ny mets
Sch. was the best 8th inning man in baseball 2 years ago………and he’s back
one of the few bright spots of the year for the mets. well done SS
I think Schoe gets a few free passes from now on.
Nice job by the Show. He has been very good this year.
i wouldn’t go that far but it’s been an impressive start and he deserves to be cheered for this year so far
the guy is a tough bastard. i almost feel bad for booing him so much last year…almost
david needs to learn how to hid a slider
dwright just looks baaad at the plate right now
i’m not going to say it anymore, someone has to tell Wright all he’s getting is fastballs in and sliders away.
David is not in a good place at the moment.
he is my fav. but he is lost right now.
might i say great move by Omar not to pick up Zito
than i guess you also ahve to compliment the other 30 or so gm’s who didnt sign him?
would’ve been such a bad move from the getgo…he obviously didn’t have his vintage stuff anymore
lots of teams were in the running just he priced himself too high so kill the 30 GM thing
exactly…if omar isn’t as smart as those gm’s (or as dumb as brian sabean), then we got issues
oh wait…we do
david has never been able to hit a slider. if he could learn to do that he’d be the best player in baseball
lets not get ahead of ourselves
David hit the slider last year to opposite field the only problem this year is that the fastball in is being thrown as a ball and he’s swinging at it and getting himself in a hole last year the fastball in was a strike and being blopped for a hit
who pitches the 8th inning?
Dirty
Definitely Dirty.
Brandon Webb loses his first game, Barry Zito gets his first win. What other type of trends/streaks can end against the Fish? Can we move our game against them to Miami next week?
Guiseppe Franco! My fave. “I don’t own the company. I don’t own anything about it”
Best line ever.
gary busey…best random celebrity cameo ever
his acting in that commercial is sublime.
my favorite part too reminds me of how hilarious busey is in entourage
why is he still in
olsen been avg. the 3 of the last 4 starts..let’s hope that continues
uggla en fuego though
show for 8th
No Dirty….he’s sticking w/ Show for a righty, a switchy and pitcher’s spot. Dirty was warmed up.
show means iannet pinch hits
dirty means hawpe hits
hawpe has more power
Yep. Good point.
that was a stupid play
i’m talking about the bunt
i never thought i would say this but….
I LOVE SCOTT SCHOENEWEISS (but only as of 5/23/08)
he has been absolutely fantastic this year. one of the best relievers in baseball.
good showing by show
well done SS. well done
wags to face the meat and earn his $$ tonight
one more run here would be nice.
i’d prefer 10
it truly pains me to say this, but leaving show in for the 8th to freeze hawpe on the pine was a very uncharacteristic, and brilliant, move.
Blind chick. Grain. You do the connection.
he could of brought in dirty for the first 2 batters and brought in Wagner for a 4 out save
not going to do that 2x in the same week
he just hit and ran twice in one inning
or he could have left show in…
he could have, but what he did was much better
willie not as dumb as he looks
You mean as SNY and Bill Webb make him look.
you go girlfriend
Question: Is Tatis’ homer the first one by a Mets left-fielder this season?
i think pagan hit one earlier…not too sure though
No, i remember he did not.
Did Marlon though?
Didnt Pagan have one?
I don’t think Pagan did ….
i believe it is.
pagan did not hit one.
Great job by Show and a rare smart move by Willie.
Maybe Omar is down the tunnel whispering instructions?
Maybe Willie is stepping up his game because Omar showing up made it real for him. (One can hope.) Hey, whatever works. I’m just happy to see Endy hitting and the Show rocking.
that #17 on first base is a beautiful thing
LOL. Charlie Samuels still playing with Keith by giving 17 to bench players.
tatis should be startin in LF tom afternoon
mets yanks not a 330 fox game last week, but mets rockies this week is?
they should try Tatis at first. he’s shown he can hit but he’s useless in the outfield.
If Wagner blows this game, I am taking a week off.
enjoy the week
i want a raul casanova after endy grounds out and someone stupidly says how its a productive out
Willie Randolph was given a vote of confidence today
now instead of thinking about his job which he is keeping he can concentrate on managing the team
tonight is a big win to break up a bad streak
they will sweep the rockies and you heard it here first
Why not post this fantasy a few dozen more times?
why not be a real fan and support your team instead of being a spoiled whiney brat
I’ve been a Mets fan longer than you. I am supporting my team….by calling for the end of the Willie era.
Or do you support a guy who thinks SNY is out to get him? That racism is the root of the critics of the team? Or that Mets fans were hiding before our savior Willie arrived.
Defend you hero. Please.
*your
i have been a mets fan since 1962
since DAY ONE
so you have NOT been a fan longer than me
i will be there after you have given up and moved on to other things too
why would you even assume you have been a fan longer than someone you have never met
Because you write like a twelve year old?
metsarebest,
have you watched the mets this year?
i have watched them and they have struggled
why do you have a problem with someone saying they expect them to turn it around
We don’t have a problem with that. We just feel compassion for those with psycological issues. We’re trying to help you by introducing some reality.
As I posted above:
“It bothers us when we see people who are sick. It is so sad. Delusions like Willie’s “It is SNY’s fault I look bad” or your “We’re going to October with Willie” sentiments are just sad. We all hope that you and Willie get the help you need.”
too bad you are such a fraud of a fan that you can not believe this team can make the playoffs with willie as manager
go find a team you can have more faith in because you are NOT a mets fan by any means
there must be SOME other team out there for you to boo
No, I am such a true fan that I want them to end this misbegotten Willie-era.
I am not going away. I have been true to the orange and blue through thick and thin. That doesn’t mean I thought they’d make the playoffs in the Bamberger era, either. Did that make me a bad fan or a person with a working set of eyes and a brain?
PS: Do they no longer teach capitalization or punctuation in the third grade?
vote of confidence has nothing to do the way the team plays.
Mets were lucky so far tonight. If we were playing a halfway decent team the game would have been over 2 hours ago.
i thought the point was to bring up raul so castro could pinch hit?
why do it the other way?
Because, Willie knows it is mathematically impossible for a righty to bat against a righty and get a hit.
I’m envious of his genius.
casanova switches and honestly castro has been awful with the stick
Castro was seen with some SNY crew. Willie thinks he’s out to get him.
one more run….
one more inning….
is casanova the slowest big leaguer alive?
not saying he would have beat the throw…just saying he was 20 feet away when the ball reached the base
Let’s go Sandman!!!!
willie has to manage like it’s his last game every game, one day maybe soon it just might be.
One win does not erase 12 months of futility.
i was saying it might be his last game today
hes only had 8 at bats ths yr
ridiculous.
Its a big game for the mets and consequently……………
yeah billy chokes yet again
OMG !!!
heartbreak….
gary jinxs us again!
cant talk abt wagners o earned runs
let me guess thats also willies fault
Your formatting and spelling/capitalization are oddly similar to “metsarebest.”
I guess you buy into Willie’s “it’s all SNY’s fault” theory.
damn
im going to quote billy wagner here: “f—ing shocker”
this man has a 8.71 era in the postseason. are you surprised he blew the biggest save of the season?
dude. are you serious. Wagner has been the most intense and the most consistent player on this team. He was bound to let one up eventually and considering that he is the closer after all, it was bound to be in a tight spot.
How can you compare a game in May to a playoff game. Totally off the wall.
i mean
we all knew that was coming right
By Mets I meant Billy wagner
Of course.
It was due to come soon. Of course it would come now.
omar sold his soul to the devil to get santana.
Should anyone be surprised…
well, that sucks
We had so many chances to put more runs on the board. You let these teams hang around…………
hahahaha billy wagner…. that dumbass fan in the background needs to keep her mouth shut
whats he going to say at his locker tonight>
“im the closer, i blew the game, f’n shocker?
who didn’t see this coming?
and now delgado can gloat and billy can run away…
because the games are meaningless but the lockeroom is vitale
oh billy….you bastardo
billy’s interview had better be an hour long tonight
to all the reporters: ask billy questions. this guy is a gutless coward who talks a big game but cant get a big save. ryan zimmerman, so tagucchi, matt holliday….
r u serious?
its idiots like you who make this situation so much worse.
So evey blown save is a big blown save. Yeah they blow. But all the ones he saved don’t count?
can’t blame Willie on this one. Wagner had to come in. Pretty much figured on something like this though. He was due and it is a big game.
I can’t believe that one. No 1 run wins on the road. Pathetic
you can blame him for leaving ollie in 2 batters too long.
agreed. 6 walks in 5 innings is a bit excessive
i wish he gave up some runs the other night so we could quit talking about his spotless era…
GAME OVER
not only does he blow the save, but he also blows the game…. GUTLESS
we were 2 outs away….
we really are the laughingstock of baseball…we really are
just dreadful….absolutely dreadful…mets should watch, learn, listen…this is how you come back late in a game..
nice hope luis…done and done…mets lose
*hops
lmao this is a beautiful thing for all the people who want Willie out. He won’t survive this collapse
He survived the big collapse, inexplicably.
Or, is this year just a continuation of The Collapse?
I waslk in the house as they are going to the middle of the ninth. Am I smart enough to stay away fro Gameday and go to bed? No, I just had to log in to see if they could actually win a game.
Even worse, all the teams ahead of them got smoked, wo they could have picked up a game on everyone.
Thanks Billy.
Eesh. Thank you Brian.
Did anyone really believe we were going to win this?
Wagner is part of the problem. Blowwing games left and right last september and any big game I can think of
If Wagner is a part of the problem this year, then so is everyone.
why wasnt that a DP!?!?!?!?
infield in it’s alot harder to turn 2
be grateful reyes saved the game
Well, I think this answers the question as to whether some blown saves are worse than others. . . . .
So cruel — Castillo, Delgado and Tatis win the day. Wagner and Wright blow it. Shows you what we know.
true…
all kinds of new user names makin posts now, hmmm the vultures hover when its a collapse like this
I hate it as much as anyone else but give Wagner a break. He’s been lights out all year and held a 0.00 ERA up until now. Did you really expect him to be perfect for the entire season? Wouldn’t it stand to reason that every situation a Closer comes into is a game winning/losing situation?
Yea, bad timing but give the guy a break. He’s been one of the more consistant players on our team this year.
Right on. Willie is gonna use his guy Homerun Heilman to take the loss in the 10th with a walk off
i was begging…absolutely pleading with scott podsednik to just end my misery…
but no, it will go on for another 1-2 innings just to torture me
Win just delayed. Yes, I’m trying to retain a little optimism…
that FOX broadcast is going to be a dream to watch tomorrow. Can’t wait for what Ken Rosenthal has to say
Top of the order…For old time’s sake, let’s pretend that’s a good thing. LGM.
everybody just RELAX ok
the mets will score in the 10th
they are not losing this game
We’re relaxed, enjoying some gallows humor. You’re the only one who seems up tight.
still have a chance…let’s see them step up for a change..
Wagner is so inconsistent though. The only thing we know is that he will have an ERA of 9 in september
wagner gives up a run after 18 scoreless innings and some of you are complaining b/c one of the best players in the game hits a chip shot barely over the wall.
thats a fly out at shea…give me a break.
EASY. Obviously, people are going to be frustrated, and let’s face it — that was a very important opportunity, and he didn’t get the save. Came back to salvage the inning, though, which is commendable.
can’t complaint about Billy. HIm, Church and Show (yes, I said it) are the only highlights of this season so far. they had opportunities to get Wagner so cushion, just couldn’t make it happen
give wagner a break is right
blame it on the hitters..
another bumb pitcher… another poor performance by d wright, beltran, reyes, etc..
this offense is just pathetic rigt now.
I agree – wags has been awesome this year, this was bound to happen at some point.
What’s a bumb? Is that anything like being a bum? Or is this some strange, new class of lazy layabout that I’ve been unaware of?
Thats the initiator of 2006
thats how you hustle
cmon say it, hats how you run out of an inning
jose reyes- possibly the turning point in the season right there
If only. . . . but hey, why not?
FINISH.
I love the optimisim but lets wait until he’s a bit more consistant.
I will give him credit for the 100% hustle from the time he got the hit until he slid into 2nd though.
no, that’s the turning point from the yankee wins turning point of the maine throwing at nats turning point.
but i take your…point.
nice HUSTLE jose. he looks fed up, which is good. he yelled at the ball when you caught the third out.
hah, nice hustle…running hard out of the box….
Nice play Jose!!! That’s some fire!
i must say, some met fans make me embarassed to wear the blue an orange
bunt him over but typical mets would leave reyes on 3rd with 1 out
Nice to see Reyes hustle and the OTHER team lollygag for once!
Also nice to see Reyes seizing on the ground (”I’m safe! I’m safe!”) for a full minute after the call.
Great hustle!! Theres life…exciting baseball again
reyes never slowed down out of the box, rounding 1st
Hustle? On the 2008 Mets? Fine that player! Unacceptable!
;-)
Nicely done, Jose!
nice camera work there…23 games in a row on base…jose has quietly stepped up his game
Ok here we go. This is castillos job. He has to get this bunt down.
wow
ok – that seals it. they really are trying to get willie fired.
jose reyes- kill yourself
MY GOODNESS, ARE YOU &*%^$#@ ME???!!
More great baserunning.
These guys do totally suck
Love how the Mets do the fundaments.
Did Willie work the guys on baserunning drills this Spring, or was he already too worried about supposed SNY plots to bother?
*fundamentals
here it comes
how do you get picked off???????
THERE IS YOUR FN SCAPEGOAT!!!!!
Wow.
When will the misery end?
How many fundamental baserunning mistakes have been made in the last two weeks by Willie’s guys?
I agree but who do you blame for that? Willie? He’s not out on the base paths getting picked off or doubled up on.
It’s stupid mental mistakes….just stupid. God, I’m so pissed…
The players mostly. But at some point the manager and coaches have to discipline, instruct and correct, no?
Of course, if you are too busy worrying about SNY plotting to get you, it’s hard to work your team through some fundamental baserunning drills.
seriously. if you can’t, at some point, hold the manager resopnsible for mental errors, why even have a manager at all?
I’m not saying I disagree, b/c I don’t but I just think that fundimentals are harder to teach at that level. I know it sounds odd but fundimentals are built into a player from Day 1 of baseball. So when you have a player who’s in their 20’s, 30’s…or in our case 40’s it’s a lot harder to adjust.
At this point, I’m not sure what the solution is. I’m sure if there is one both the players and managers have either talked about them or are working on them.
I’m just frustrated that a team that should be contending for the NL East is playing this poorly.
We’re not out of the running yet but we’re not considered favorites….for anything.
I feel you NickA33, we’re all depressed.
Come on. This excuse gets really old, really fast. On some level, if players who have been able to play in the past forget their fundamentals and are completely lost, you have to blame the manager. What is his job?
Spot on, TMU.
BTW, the Mets have way too many unis.
BALK!!!!!!!
He balked as soon as he brought his leg down and then brought it up to spin around. The leg coming down is stepping toward home, you cant pick the leg back up to turn around. It all has to be in one motion. Pick the leg up then spin, not pick it up, start to bring it down forward, then pick it up again and spin. Thats a balk.
Why the hell was that NOT a balk? Who the hell is watching these games on the field? Awful…just plain awful.
thats like the 5th bad baserunning move by this team in the last 10 days
IS THAT THREE TIMES IN A WEEK??????
THI TEAM NEEDS TO GO TO THE LITTLE LEAGUE FIELDS AND LEARN HOW TO PLAY BASE BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REYES NEEDS TO BE BENCHED!!!!!
go back to your hole, troll
where you been all game ?
some of you should just find a team you think you would have more fun watching and go boo them instead of booing this one
you are part of the problem
yeah, that makes a lot of sense… sorry willie…
Shouldnt you be sleeping right now? You cant possibly be older than 11 years old
metsarebest,
So, the Mets fans booing at Turner Field led to the sweep? The Mets fans booing at Coors led to Wags blowing the save and to Jose’s baserunning blunder? How does that work?
Blind support of Randolph does not necessarily equal “true fandom.”
Did you even read Cerrone’s interview with Darryl where he dismissed the “boogate” whiners as silly and said it’s always been like that at Shea and that the Mets fans are the best and he missed their passion when he was in LA?
Of course you missed that – because this is the first time you’ve been on Metsblog.
Oh – and great job by Willie teaching his guys to run the bases correctly. Or was he too busy dreaming up plots against him by SNY in Spring Training to do those drills?
Please hit a homer David. Please
I have never seen such a dumb ****en player in my life. Good night guys.
this sucks
Reyes has to be one of the most maddening players I’ve ever rooted for. So much talent, yet so little baseball sense at times.
so well said
the magic is back
picked off at 2nd……………..
If they had a camera on the broadcast booth they would have shown Keith banging his head on the table.
I have some great sour diesel for my fellow masochists.
is this team trying to get him fired?
wright looks really scared out there
I didn’t go for the player conspiracy before, I just thought they couldn’t play. Now I’m coming around to believe that they want him gone. Reyes especially. His mind is totally off.
And what happenned to Wright?
There is aggressiveness and then there sheer stupidity….
**then there is sheer stupidity
way to step up with your bat david…
rusty gate anyone?
The number of baserunning mistakes in the past week by this club has been repulsive. Only one person can be blamed for these stupid mistakes due to lack of preparation, and that’s Willie. If he isn’t gone by Monday, I’m really going to be upset. I tried to get away for a night from watching this crap, I come home and see Wags blow it, then Reyes really blow it.
Blame Willie for not going out to argue that it was a balk. It was clear that it was a balk. Once you start your leg down from your kick you cant bring it back up to spin. Balk. Just watch the replay if they show the pitcher again.
I was thinking the same. But let’s just count a few off of mind from the past few games.
Reyes 3rd base blunder vs Washington
Beltran getting doubled up vs Washington
Wright getting doubled up last night
Reyes getting picked off just now
Alou getting picked off against the Yanks
Beltran getting caught between 2nd and third last night on a ball infront of him
I know there were others, but this is a direct reflection on the manager not having the team ready to play, with their heads in the clouds. It’s really time to bring somebody in that will shake things up. Think the White Sox will loan us Ozzie for a few weeks?
This is the dumbest post i have seen so far! Its willie’s fault that a major league baseball player is making dumb mistakes on the bases. These are veteran players Willie sholdnt have to baby them. They know the game.
No, it’s really not. It’s a managers responsibility to have his players knowing what they are doing in what situation, and clearly the Mets do not. There’s also no reprecussion for making a bonehad play on the bases, which there should be. If you can’t recognize this then you’re a complete fool.
so willie needed to tell reyes there not to get picked off?
impossible to come back here…when will this misery end?
F k WIllie. They made the same mistake yesterday. THEY ARE PLAYING AWFUL BASEBALL. Not hitting may not be his fault, but these mistakes are
That was a pretty sorry display, folks.
Let’s just bring in Heilman and get this over with.
This team needs an enema
So do we.
gordon gekko? like the pub?
The only question is how many batters will it take for the Rockies to win this game this inning.
4 HBP should do it
Wise or Heilman? pick ur poison.
where have you gone David? he’s a shadow…and that inning was a microcosm of reyes – incredibly thrilling and downright frustrating rolled into one….
Haha I thought it was a joke that they just want to make the losses more upsetting than the last, but I guess it is just the truth.
By the way, the Rockies are 11 games under .500…would you have thunk that the way they have played and how pumped they are?
Anybody think that Wagner gets out of this inning?
Reyes sometimes plays like the second coming of Roger Cedeno
this team must lead the league in getting picked off..
oh
my
goodness
reyres gettin picked is no w ay on willie, get over it
And the 8 other baserunning errors over the last 10 games that Howie just went apedoodie over on WFAN??
I mean, yes the players SHOULD know better. But, if they don’t show that they know better….who is to blame? At some point it is up to the manager and coaching staff to instruct, correct, etc. No?
Wright again?
This is a nightmare that never goes away.
….for the “gold glover” wright….
That is the second eff up by David on a Yorvit Torrealba at-bat. I think David is going to have a meltdown right there in the field. If YT is the winning run they should send someone home with David.
someones gotta take him to a strip joint or something. take his mind of everything…
dont bother throwing to first, billy. only the mets get picked off
Willie has to go immediately. His depressing managing is now getting into the minds of the golden boys of this franchise.
i really hope pedro comes back soon. They really miss his antics in the dugout.
the older players on this team are proving theyre washed up and the younger players are regressing. Willies gotta go immediately before wright and reyes are permanently damaged
Last time I checked Willie doesn’t field the grounders and run the bases.
The mets do everything wrong. Is the manager responsible for anything? Maybe the mets dont need a manager
wow if willie left church on the bench to pinch hit johan, theyd hang him
OMG guys…c’mon, you know Aaron Cook has to get a hit here. It’d be too good.
Willies team meeting:
LETS JUST HIT THE BUCKET, BOYS. Lets make stupid errors, and baserunning blunders and play awful baseball. Hey Delgado, you don’t have to play hard at first, its alright. Lets not learn from our mistakes. Lets Suck.
(winking to jerry manuel) It doesn’t matter I have Omar’s vote of confidence
Im starting to ask myself….Are Reyes and Wright INTENTIONALLY trying to get Willie Fired? Cause if I didnt know any better id say it sure looks like this. I sware this team is so reminicent of the 2002 era, 1993 era mets.
Gonna go with no on Wright, at least.
Alomar, Vaugh, Burnitz….whoopie!!!!!!!
Delgado is much worse of a fielder then Moe
my dog still sleeps on my burnitz shirt to this day. i hated that guy. i still hate that guy.
dude, if we get beat by a pinch-hitting pitcher…..
Oh my gosh a pitcher hitting
David needs to calm the !%@#% down. . . .
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “First you whine about ‘fire’ and ‘passion’, and now you want the guy to bring it down a notch?”
No — it was never about unharnessed energy and emotion. It’s about playing crisply and aggressively with focus and confidence. That’s been my complaint the whole time. The Mets seem to be all over the place mentally except in that zone.
he looks like he’s having a nervous breakdown out there…every time he makes a mistake he’s on the verge of tears
I agree with Mudville Nine. That was one of the most obvious balks I have ever seen. Where was Willie? Where were the base coaches? You have to be kidding me.
It looked funny to me, too, but that doesn’t absolve Reyes. . . .
If you feel a chill from the bowels of the earth and the Mets pull this off, Wright needs to sit tomorrow. Seriously. Worked for Francoeur.
Sure it does. You see the pitcher’s leg going down as if toward home, you’re trying to get a good secondary lead to get to third on the bunt. Your not expecting the pitcher to repick up his leg and then spin because its illegal. Its a balk.
“the older players on this team are proving theyre washed up and the younger players are regressing. Willies gotta go immediately before wright and reyes are permanently damaged”- bootlegga
very well said. great rid of this piece of crap manager. oh and willie, you should get fired bc you are a bum, not because youre black
omg the mets and rockies just switched uniforms!!!!
Does Yorvit watch SNY?
I just found our Defensive Catcher (!)
okay…maybe other teams do make more stupid running mistakes than the mets…
See? Stupidity happens on other teams.
hahahaha…. wow you can really tell this is the battle between two really bad teams.
former met (almost) with the baserunning error…go figure
take a seat you fat bastrd!!!!!
keith is beside himself
that was the most ridiculous half inning ever
FIRE CLINT HURDLE
lol….great line
We turned a DP?! Amazing!
I think Keith just jumped out of the booth
That truly did make me laugh out loud. My g/f thinks I’ve finally gone “round the bend!”
Wow, the Rockies let Jose off the hook.
Dear God, the Mets are playing the Mets.
WELL PLAYED.
This was actually really funny.
Wow. That Rockies play was so bad, it’s almost Willie-era Mets-esque.
This is an Epic battle of who wants it least
I could understand not firing him justs because they aren’t hitting. But pickoffs, errors. Its awful
Then there are the paranoid delusions about SNY. And the crack about how we were all in hiding prior to the arrival of his Willieness.
Oh, …and that collapse thingy.
if it was so obvious the guys in the booth would have said something.
lets all thank the rockies for being as dumb as the mets…
Ronnie would have been all over that balk.
Let’s get a run fellas!!!!!
Omar would have signed him if he passed had his physical
mets will win
Someday.
Bound to happen.
Even the worst teams win 60 or so.
Or, were those teams really good but just showed as being bad by SNY? So hard to figure, with Willie-logic.
This is almost worth it to listen to Keith and Gary.
I so wish I had the SNY feed. Stuck synching WFAN audio feed with Rox vidoe feed on mute.
Even Howie and Wayne nearly fell out of their booth onthat Rox play. Howie wanted to throttle Willie after the Jose pickoff for the utter lack of fundamentals the team exhibits. Entertaining in their own right.
We’re going to score this inning. Mark it down… in pencil please.
wow beltran hit a shot.. almost made it past the pitcher
Willie lost these players a long time ago. I just hope he brings out Homerun Heilman for the big embarrassing finale to his days as manager…and then blames everything on Billy Wagner and his 0.0000001 ERA
the owners of the team say you are wrong
it’s like the southpark episode where the teams are losing on purpose b/c they dont want to play little league anymore…
can we trade delgado for butters?
Met fans may be brutalizing masochists, but there is some funny ish on this board tonight.
Delgado!
Gallows humor. The best (and worst) kind.
should have casto pinch-run for delgado…
that a boy carlos, gonna single handedly win this for us
boy that Delgado is just horrible !!
He sure is. Welcome to the light.
;-)
Yes, lets watch the mets blow another opportuninty
remember in like ‘04 when jason jennings debuted against at shea and not only dominated but hit a homer and had a few hits to boot?
good times
Can SNY turn down the crowd mics. These annoying fux chanting everyone’s name is actually drowning out Ron and Keith, and really pissing the poo out of me.
pissin the poo wow lol
how do you piss poo? just curious
Anything and everything can happen tonight, as evidenced by this game we’re watching.
Ask Delgado.
How much does it suck that Delgado has been hitting the ball better then The Golden Boy lately?!!!!
Watch mets win this game and Delgado tells media that people need to look in the mirror before criticizing others
Finally good baseball
Clearly the baseball deities are punishing Met fans and David Wright alike. For weeks, he’s the only one that cares, and then it’s the team’s third nipple (Delgads) who has the “big” game. (”Big” relative to the others’, that is.)
DELGADO HUSTLING!!
Does Carlos have the hold sign?
can schneider get a fn hit??????????????
He’s just not very good. He is the one guy on the team playing up (or down) to his baseball card.
Only if by “hit,” you mean “passed ball.”
;-)
he’s gonna steal home
schneider was signed for defense, but his defense has been awful.. he has NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bat
Oof.
In the immortal words of the Great Casey Stengal…..
“Can anybody play this game?”!!!!!
Flashbacks of Dante Bichette are coming back to me. There is now way that Holliday, Atkins and Helton don’t hit a HR here.
In the imortal words of casey stengel:
“If we can lose with him [Willie] we can lose without him]”
can we pinch hit that giant guy taking up three seats behind the plate?
maybe he can get a run home
seriosly!!! it’s like jabba the hutt is back there!
i hate these rockie uniforms
that was weird…
yeah it was…
exact same time to the second…guess there’s nothing left to say about the game.
no there’s not…let’s drink a beer and pretend this never happend
the rockies uniforms are really stupid looking. what’s with the fake muscle shirt look?
They look like Futurama costumes.
Yes, the uniforms are the problem.
There are too many.
We’re losing to a bunch of animated cartoon looling characters
nice catch. nice inning by sanchez.
Thats why I don’t mind Beltran as much as Delgado
not to rehash on an old subject, but dont you think yorvit torrealba would fit in perfectly on the mets?
great catch, c-los
why? because he’s terrible?
gold glove,,,,this games gonna go all night
never fear – heilman’s warming up.
great, great catch
Nice play beltran!!!
He plays a phenomenal CF.
Great inning by Dirty
Props to Beltran, who doesn’t get them nearly enough. Great D.
i am rooting for the rockies and the mets are looking good.
GOO ROCKIES!
we go to the 12th
mets are hanging in
no quit from this team tonight
they score a few runs here and set the rockies down 1-2-3
and mets win
Have you proven to yourself that you’re the only “real fan” here, or are you going to keep the inane posts going?
willie?!! shouldn’t you be managing the game?
Every innings just brings us closer to Heilman
Nice!
Last inning
If my eyes did not just deceive me, the Mets better score > 5 runs this half inning.
uh-oh…better get a lead now because Heilman is warming up…
you know what would have been smart… if willie had pulled off the double switch last inning. take schneider out and replace him with the pitchers slot and have castro bat in the 9 hole. this would allow the mets to go to sanchez for more than 1 inning and prevent having to use heilman.
great point, plus castro is clutch
Excellent, excellent point.
But then again, this is Willie we’re talking about.
Two innings of Sanchez? I dunno. . . . Then again, two-thirds of an inning of Heilman. . . .
Heilman’s warming up
kevin burkhardt, get a real job!
Heilman must look like a big juicy steak to those Rockie hitters. . . .
Oh my God, we have resorted to players with brain injuries.
you just made me choke on my beer
Willie feels more of a kinship now.
You guys are the best. Laughter is highly appreciated these days!
Gasoline on Fire is ready to come in. At least only a solo homer will beat us instead of his usual 2 run homer
How dare you suggest that he isn’t capable of loading the bases!!!
Is it just me or does every one on here knows exactly what’s going to happen?
This is another Casey quote the Wilpons can use when the fire Willie on Monday….
“Son, we’d like to keep you around this season but we’re going to try and win a pennant.”
YES!!!!
Heilman coming in…
well at least if he blows this game, maybe hll get left in colorado
wtf is reyes doing on 3-1????
…needless to say, reyes will never write a sequel to the “Art of Hitting.”
He has something of a dadaist take.
ROTFLMAO
I think casey should manage. He’d do a better job from the grave then willie is doing from the dugout
can willie please protect his player. he has no bench left.
Willie (and Nieto?) did the right thing there in restraining Reyes.
felt a little slow to react to me, but maybe i’m wrong. reyes didn’t get tossed, which is the important thing i guess.
castro can play short if reyes is ejected
Reyes better chill the eff out. Does he want Castro to play short?
Sweet. Keep staring at it, you idiot.
Reyez can’t get thrown out, they have noone to play SS
FERNANDO TATIS!
Schneider in left field, Castro behind the plate.
I’d love it.
Much prefer Santana in left
thats where willie needs to get ejected
he at least needs to take the heat off reyes. why was the first base coach the first guy there?
its the NY “WHY PROTECT THE FKN PLATE WHEN YOU CNA HOPE ITS A BALL” METS
god almighty, i hope omar shoves a bat up reyes’ azz
Horrible call. COME ON!!!!
Heilman coming in…i hope the folks in Colorado Springs are in their front yards with mitts on…
colorado springs? give him some credit…i say salt lake city
This can’t end pretty. Not a chance. Time to go to Vegas and bet a HR against Heilman. Problem is you can only win 50 cents for every 10 dollar bet with Heilman on the mound.
I have mit on here in NEw york
willie- GET EJECTED ALREADY! THIS GAME IS OVER IN 4.5 MINTUES ANYWAY!
Well Nice to see we have waved the white flag.
Guess we’ll get them tomorrow
g*d d****t…heilman
Why isn’t feliciano pitching
he has pitched the last 3 days, incl. 2 innings two nights ago. acc. to the booth.
Does Helton, Spillborghs, or Podsednik hit it?
hey, lefties are only hitting 389 against heilman, no worries
aaron will step up here
come on aaron
1-2-3 inning
1 down
that ball almost hit the dirt. That was another chance to show your team you have there back.. Instead it took willie almost a min to get out there.. When is he gonna do what he says. He says he protects his players.. Fighting for them once in a blue moon would go far.
Behind closed doors, he’ll argue with the ump. . . .. . Yeah, that’;s it. . . .
i think his first priority was just making sure jose didn’t get run…or else mike herbst would have to throw on a uniform and play SS…
one day wel’ll wake up turn on the cpu and the front page of Mets blog read……..
Is Heilman really that worse than anyone else on this team right now? Is there someone on this team who would make you any more comfortable.
jose is angry…but Baseball 101 dictates that you protect the plate in counts like that….
Not trying to make excuses but that was an awful call. I can’t blame Jose there. If he swung and missed everyone would be yelling at him to be more patient. Can’t have it both ways. Bad call. What can you do?
Jose never took baseball 101 and Willie refuses to teach it.
2 down
willie took WAY TOO LONG to get out there. ump gave us a break by not running reyes.
have to look away from the tv… my heart can’t is too fragile now
1000 freaking comments
willie did the right thing there
no reason to argue there
the objective was to get reyes out of there so he did not get thrown out of the game
Just our luck
this guy is a pest on the bases
Castillo’s “hustle” is like a quick waddle.
jeez…look at castillo…he could barely get to that…like an 80-year old man….here’s to four more years!
He’s like DeVito playing The Penquin.
hey keith, not everyone is hurt
oh boy heilman..it was right at you you goon
Typical, get two outs then…
cmon guys we all kno hes gon play this yr, and next then be turned into glue
2 outs hit … surprise surprise
well heilmans in for the next few innings so lets hold our breath…
3 down
GOOD JOB AARON! (I am in shock.)
nice job, aaron!
13th
david wright
home run
bet on it
You’re on.
David goes yard, I have to write “Willie is a smart, savvy manager who should be with the Mets for years to come.”
David doesn’t, you go away.
you lose pay up troll
this loss was a lot easier to take after this last week desensitized me
Ok who is the guy wearing the Heilman Jersey, and what did he do with Aaron? And how much will it cost to keep Aaron there?
Nice! Poopie-face starts his turnaround tonight!
poopie -face…done and done….that is all i will call him from now on
i like to call him
The Obsessed Hand Licker
Hm, maybe Heilman’s role is extra innings guy? That would only ensure that fans would want no extra innings games ever again.
let’s all do a shot whenever:
a) we regret having luis castillo for four more years
b) a mets player makes a baserunning mistake
c) willie randolph does someting dumb
d) carlos delgado swings through a pitch way out of the strike zone
WE’LL BE DRUNK IN 10 MINUTES!
not nearly enough liquor in my house dude…plus my wife will divorce me…
Waaayyyy too many stomachs will have to be pumped after that game!
nice
Hey! That wasnt Heilman’s fault. He threw a hittable pitch up there. Their guy just missed it. Blame him.
Oh wait
Decent games tonight (thus far, anyway): Delgado. Heilman. Chavez.
Crud: Wright. Wagner. Reyes.
Sigh.
supercrud: beltran
I think Reyes just got picked off in the dugout
1 on 1 out for the worst clutch hitter in baseball…
Great day in the morning.

Beltran…I love you…but please do something
Get a room!
Our 1-4 guys are 3-21. Good times!
This game would have been over hours ago if Willie lets Smith start that inning
Good night. I’ll read about the 27 inning victory tomorrow.
Who’s left on our bench and bullpen?
wise feliciano
castro
With this light of a bench…I forsee the possibility of a McDowell/Orosco LF/pitcher platoon like Davey used to do.
To quote McBain: MENDOZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
So, what DO you do in denver when you’re dead?
what are the chances heilman goes two scoreless???
a. 1 in a million
b. no chance at all
c. hillary clinton has a better chance
d. obbamma has a better chance
Luis Castillo: You need to go home right now. Pathetic range.
Game over this inning.
Boy, I dunnp. I know it’s late extra innings but why not let Aaron get out on a positive note after his good inning? Why put him out there to fail?
*dunno
i hope that francis homers off heilman
castillo realy pounced on that one
cohen “there’s castillo’s lack of range costing the mets”
i’m pretty sure he’s 85 years old
hes gon do it again
YES!!!!
Walk tomorrows pitcher
YOU ARE AN AZZHOLE HEILMAN!!!
lol booth s goin nuts
I so miss the SNY feed on a game like this.
aaron heilman is dumb
jeff francis is stupid
but i am sure jeff francis will still walk
they were amazed that francis was bunting on 3-0
2 down lets go heilman
You know Billy has already left the stadium for the hotel.
No way. Say what you will, but he takes his lumps.
Did I really need to put down that I was being sarcastic?
Heils in a big spot against reigning NL hitting champ.
Place your bets. Place your bets.
I’m actually a little optimistic. Go Heils!
Good call with the hope thing
f you holliday
Perfect!
There it is!
good job guys
more on wags or HELLman
get real.. its on the bumb offense of reyes, wright and beltran..
i put it on the azz hole reyes for getting picked off of second
wagner gave up a run, no biggie.. heilman sucks, you know two innings, he just cant do that.
game over
the mets managed to hang in right until the end
they showed some real guts tonight
the rest of the weekend they will take 2 out of 3 and start to turn things around
the best thing to happen today was Willie Randolph getting the vote of confidence from his bosses
they can put this game behind them and start playing the kind of baseball we expect them to play
this team will be fine
dude cut it out w these pre written posts that your altering for each situation your beyond annoyin
Just ignore the troll.
Isn’t your social worker there to give you your meds?
You are delusional.
and so it ends
and we decided to pitch to one of the best players in the league?
i knew that luis castillo didn’t have range but he seemed to be non-existent there
haha oh well…bye bye willie…good riddens
can we start the season over?
hmmm an mvp candidate coming through…that would be nice
I love Willieball!
That’s 5 in a row.
Sign suggestions for Monday at Shea?
How about:
“Willie: We never were in hiding. You should be.”
,,,and so it goes….
on a happier note, i do have holliday on my fantasy team
but that doesn’t make me too happy…
Another ball Delgado just heads to first on, not knowing where Castillo was positioned. Makes no effort to get to it because he thinks Castillo is right there to field it. Pathetic.
yeah where the hell was castillo… that ball was hit to second..
or at least where the second baseman usually is
He was playing up the middle but your firstbaseman is suppose to look before the pitch to see where he is to know how much ground you have to cover. How far you have to come off firstbase to cover the hole between himself and Castillo. He never looks, thats why lots of balls go through that hole without him even giving it a glance.
well at least oliver pitched well
ahhhhhhh salt to the wound. Man this really really blows.
how can you pitch to holiday? sigh…
because he ws 0-4 vs heilman and atkins was 2-3
mr numbers pulls through again!!!! i wouldve pitched to atkins, being that holiday hit the tying homerun
coulda walked both. dnno
Game over! Season over! This team chokes once again!
Please for the love of God let this be the end of the Willieball era
FIRE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you think heilman will be executed at gunpoint, or by stoning?
when willie came on board they lost five straight to start his managerial career
and a year later they JUST MISSED making it to the world series
they have recovered from losing five straight before and they will do it again
ten days from now everyone will laugh about how worried they were back on MAY 23RD
it is MAY 23RD and they are 4.5 GAMES OUT
this team will be fine
CALM DOWN
Admit it…you ARE Willie Randolph!!!
God help us all, he has a twin!
I changed my mind Morpheus, I want the blue pill!
lol
Got to get worse before it gets better. These losses are just what the doctor ordered. Let them lose 5 more in a row.
I honestly think they need to give Willie until the ASB. If the Mets are out of it by then, get rid of him. A new manager isn’t going to turn a team around in mid-season anyway (in fact they usually make it worse). If everyone is already declaring the season over then give him another month. What could it hurt? At some point the players have to step up and just play the game.
Willie Randolph = Managing For Dummies
Omar Minaya = Spend, Spend, Long-term contracts, Spend
Wilpon Family = Let’s wait and see how this plays out
that spells WOW
Gaaarrryyy Carter….clap clap clapclapclap…..
Hopefully we will get to see Evans (an actual outfielder) in left field tomorrow….i hope they call up Carp (1B) to play first….
and then pick up some guy off the street to play 2nd base….(preferably under the age of 40)
if the mets are gonna make moves it has to be to get rid of everyone.
Even though willie might be a great guy he’s a bad in game manager.
Omar and his staff has done a terrible job with the team also.
The mets need to rebuild this team around Reyes, Wright, Church, Santana, and Maine.
Get rid of Delgado, Castillo, and Perez and bring in some good young prospects and continue to draft good players.
I agree…..omar is just as responsible for this mess as willie and the players….i would get rid of willie first because its the easiest move to make first…..let omar try to wheel and deal and get some of these guys (castillo and delgado) out of here and some fresh players in…..and bring in a manager that can communicate a winning attitude to this players and change the mood in the clubhouse….and if omar cant fix this…..give em the ax at the end of the yr…..and let a new GM shape this team …. i feel like reyes and wright are taking this losing the most and worst and something needs to be done to save these guys
omar made the mess and he’s not going to admit it nor be willing to get rid of the guys he brought in. The ego is way too big.
The mets need to either clean house or just let everything work itself out and hope for the best.
100% true
“luis castillo usually doesnt play day games after night games because of his banged up knees”
4 more years! 4 more years!
