As the Marlins prepare for the final regular season series at Shea, there is no lack of motivation on their part to repeat their spoiling ways from a year ago.
In the Sun-Sentinel, several players recant their memories from last year, including pitcher Scott Olson, who is quoted as saying:
“Silence is golden. It’s not that good of a stadium. I remember Tom Glavine walking off the mound with his head down without getting three outs.”
Former Met Mike Jacobs:
“It was pretty amazing going from how loud that stadium could be to you could hear a pin drop. I remember hearing some of the guys saying they saw fans that were crying. You like being in a situation to be able to knock somebody out like that.”
At the Palm Beach Post, Joe Capozzi relays some notable quotes, including one from Paul LoDuca:
“It was not a good memory and I’m hoping we can make it not good memories for them again this year.”
Scott Olson chimed in again:
“It was just fun hearing 55,000 people not say a word.”
…it must have reminded olson of under 1,000 fans not saying a word in miami every night…
For more on the upcoming series, check out Adam Rubin’s blog at the Daily News, David Lennon’s article at Newsday, and the Miami Herald.
…not wanting to conjure up memories of last year, i’ve avoided acknowledgement of this series until now, but honestly, this is exactly who i want them to be playing…i’d like to think the mets don’t need any further motivation but seriously, how ironic is this, it couldn’t be scripted any better…the mets pretty much hold their fate in their hands, and what better way to redeem the results from last year’s glavine game, than to sweep the marlins and surge into the playoffs…

Jerry needs to put this on the bulletin board.
My thoughts EXACTLY.
Look win or loose I hope the fans at SHEA stand up and CHEER for this no matter what. They deserve it after the season we had. We lost Alou, Church, ElDuke, Maine, Wags, Pagan,Tatis, Pedro, Castro, and the list goes on. Still, here we are. I am proud of this team and I want to see them celebrate at home as the Marlins and Paul LoDuca watch. LETS GO METS !!
I hate to pick nits, but why do people always include Pagan on the list of injuries? Sure, we lost him. But really, the guy is a plug-in player. A dime a dozen. His loss was Tatis’ gain.
You can bet Jerry is going to mention this to his squad… Lets crush these clowns…
no, REALLY – this is the funniest thing I have read all day…
…it must have reminded olson of under 1,000 fans not saying a word in miami every night…
I’m shocked that they are smack talking again…I’m sure they will consider every high five, every “YEAH” as the METS showboating or whatever….but just like Wayne and Howie mentioned last night- ATONEMENT is amazing….so let’s go mets!!!!!!!!!
I believe the weather is to our advantage. No one wants to try as hard as they can in wet conditions and risk a serious injury if they don’t have to, and while these guys may think they want to beat up the Mets like last year, but deep down they don’t care. You can’t fake adrenaline. The Mets won’t care about the weather — in fact, they will be more focused because of the distraction (think about when you drive under the legal limit but still with a buzz)… while the Marlins will give up that fight once they realize it’s not worth the extra effort.
I think the Cubs situation was different — Hoffpauir was vying to impress Lou and get on the post-season roster, as were the other youngsters. It’s why Lou didn’t play his regulars.
Anyway, that’s how I see it.
I love that your analogy was drinking and driving
>think about when you drive under the legal limit but still with a buzz
By the way, where do you drive?
under the limit and i focus more!
were you referring to drinking and driving? Or Smoking and driving?
Snake, I think you’re trying to analyze the psychology behind this rain a bit too much. The bottom line is the Marlins are going to come out and bust it, play hard, and try to RUIN the Mets’ season. Teams hate the Mets as has been written about on this site. I don’t think they’ll care any less because of rain. They’re going to come out and try to win each of these 3 games, without a doubt. And stop drinking and driving
Mouser-
Smoking and Flying…not driving.
Also, Lou was not going to risk playing starters on that wet field. But, by no means were they tanking the game. They had a 6-3 lead in the 7th for crying out loud!
Also, I think they will not lie down that much this weekend, as I would think they will want to build some momentum going into the playoffs.
Phils pitched Hamels on Tue and Myers Wed, so their pitching is looking really thin for the weekend. Basically, if Mets sweep, they;re in…
Exactly, they were not tanking the game because the guys in there had something to prove for real, playoffs and roster spots — which is different than wanting to play spoiler.
Playing spoiler is fun when you do it, but not doing it does not elicit bad feelings of a lack of accomplishment. It’s just not that important to these guys, especially in the rain. That was my point.
If you live in NY, it is impossible to be buzzed and under the limit. Most 10 year olds don’t get buzzed before they’re over the limit by NY standards
one beer is under the limit, and you may not feel buzzed but you pay attn more in case you get stopped. Didnt mean to say buzzed.
I get buzzed off half of a Mike’s hard lemonade
But could not the same have been said about last year when they dialed “w” for whuppin’ on us? Why would they have cared last year but not this?
If I was to characterize last year it would be Ollie melt down and a Glavine no show.
The first game is absolutely enormous, score early, score often and the Marlins will be moving on to the next day.
That’s true, all I’m saying is the Marlins seemed to really care last year when all of the above were still true (except the weather). If they care, they care, and honestly, good for them, they should.
F these clowns. Cody Ross needs one between the shoulder blades in a “non-critical” situation.
how about between the eyes. Not for nothing but the Marlins are a bunch of punks. I know everyone is annoyed we got rid of jacobs but he is simply the lead punk of that team.
i agree, but who exactly is upset we got rid of jacobs?
Maybe we can Pelfrey out there just for Cody Ross, and then Big Pelf can throw to Cody in a “strategic” place.
Squish the Fish…I’m tired of these guys barking all the time. Just throw them balls in the dirt and most of the time they’ll strikeout. Bunch of hackers…
I volunteer to lead the “Dookie Juices” chant.
You can have it, but only if I get the “Tazer Gun Kid” chants when Olsen takes the mound!
Agreed……. Not like the Mets should need any extra motivation, but why not make sure every player is aware of the Marlins comments…….
It worked so well last year.
What does it matter? Who cares … look at the position the Mets are in … they don’t need any extra things to motivate them … espicallially from an idiot like Olson and a gambling steroid junkie like Lo Duca.
Actually, I think after competing ‘most’ of the season, they’re not going to relish the spoiler role so much. Probably patting themselves on the back for a good run and thinking about the offseason already.
Right — maybe the Nats are the team that is looking forward to some meaningful games for once.
Ceetar, I couldn’t agree more. This season the Fish were actually in it up until Monday. Teams usually sulk for a little while after getting knocked out. Last season they were out for quite some time and psyched themselves up to play spoiler. I don’t see them getting as pshyched this year to be playing the spoiler role again.
I just don’t understand. Some of you guys are just trying, it seems, to give YOURSELVES the psychological advantage going into the game. Like you need to talk yourselves into believing the Marling won’t be trying as hard, or their spirits will be deflated, coming into this series.
There is positively, absolutely NOTHING more that needs to be said other than this:
There are three games left in the baseball season. The Marlins will be putting in 1000% effort in each of those games. They WANT to ruin the Mets season, again, as is indicated by only a few of the quotes (lord knows what’s being said in the lockerroom once the reporters leave). There is nothing about the weather, or their recent elimination from the postseason, that will cause the Marlins to not play hard.
This Marlins team can be scary good when playing well… Just be careful…
Agreed…they are a fearless team and would like nothing better than to kick us out of the playoffs….
Playoffs?! you kiddin me….
Playoffs?! Playoffs?!
We $ucked! We couldn’t do diddly-poo.
Gotta love Jim Mora :-)
The Mets have to play as hard as they can, small ball, ball crushing,whatever, they have to blow out the Marlins. The marlins have plenty of reasons to be mad at the mets.
There are more Met fans in their stadium when both teams play.
They barely have any fans.
The Mets clinched the division against them at Shea in 2006.
They hate the way the Mets celebrate hrs.
but this year, we’re not starting a washed-up 41 year old for the last game.
If the games are played as scheduled, I think Pelf is solid for a win tonight, tomorrow is coinflip score-fest for both sides, and santana shuts them down on Fri.
Playoff game w/ Brewers Monday.
*Santana on Sun, not fri. duh.
isnt pelf like 0-3 against the marlins this year?
yep. I think he bucks that monkey. his last start was solid against them.
fair enough, plus i think cody ross’s comments should still be in his head the whole game
Key is playing as scheduled….. Double headers will totally monkey wrench the plans…
How does a DH mess with the regular season rotation? I mean, if tonight’s gone, it just bumps Pelf to Saturday. We were always gonna start a Niese or Knight on Saturday anyway. And then Santana was going to go Sunday. If a make up has to go to Monday, then we just pitch Ollie that day, no? I think rain in this case isn’t quite as dire, though our post-season rotation could be in shambles.
Pelfrey struggles against the Marlins. Not sure why but he does. It concerns me
see above…his last start v. the fish was 6.2 w 2er, and I think he does it again tonight.
Wednesday and thursday and Saturday actually.
I like your moxie!
Win or lose, I really have grown to respect Manual and I think he should be back….this guy is managing a team with a pen that can’t get anyone out, a horrific 3rd base coach that almost cost us the two most important games of the year, a slew of injuries, and a bench with no RH bat.
Oh, and he’s battling the ghosts of 2007 in a way that is open, honest, and refreshing to hear. So nice not to hear that “nice little rhythm” crud…
>”nice little rhythm” crud…
AMEN — make Shea shake
He’s managing the mess Omar gave him for which Omar is rewarded with a 4-year contract? Nice work by Jerry, butI still don’t get the extension.
Omar put together a helluva team. The team just had a slew of injuries. (I’m not considering Alou and the like an injury, given that he was kinda expected to get hurt.) I’m refering to Pagan, Church, Tatis, Maine, they all played very well, they just had horrible injuries, any of which and we’d have more wins, undoubtedly. Yet, we’re still in it.
Injuries happen, but almost every year there is a great team that just had too many injuries, this year, that team is us, and we’re still in it. I think that’s why Omar got an extension.
I hate this team. They are a bunch of punks who aren’t good enough to talk the smack they are talking, led by their ex-Brave manager. I want a bloodbath, 10-0 blowouts each night. Say what you want about Jose and his celebrations, the Mets don’t pop off like the Marlins.
Squish the Fish is right.
So I’ve just finished reading the Miami Herald article, and I’ve only got one question…. Israel Gutierrez is who? Sounds to me like this Israel guy has some pent up “issues” that he’s been itching to get out into the open.
“Shea will be stunned so silent you might be able to hear the tears dripping off a 9-year-old’s cheek.”? Stay the bleep away from my 9 year old… yikes!
“…satisfying to torment a legion of fans in America’s best baseball city…”?
“Deliciously cruel”?
sigh…. Another no-name sports writer trying to thrust his name into whatever minimal spotlight he can. Price check on a cheap Psychiatrist in Miami for Mr. Gutierrez…
all it is in NY envy. Say what you want but that is the one thing Mets and Yankee fans have in common…No matter what we do everybody hates us
Envy is right :D
Any chance we’ll hear about this being put up in the Mets locker room tonight? I’m takin’ bets! lol!
Good point. If the Mets lose to Philly… well, at least we don’t have to live in Philly. What a hole.
for what it’s worth, gutierrez appears on espn’s around the horn from time to time.
I HAVE AN IDEA SCOTTY……I LIVE ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE YOU ARE STAYING ON 43RD AND 8TH……. COME OVER HERE COME OUTSIDE AND SAY THAT TO A METS FAN FACE…….YOU TOO LODUCA AND JACOBS….TRAITORS…THIS IS BASEBALL…..COME ON ….TAKE ONE STEP OUTSIDE THE WESTIN AND YOU WILL SEE……COME ON!!!!!!! YA GOTTTA BELIEVE!!!!
“You like being in a situation to be able to knock somebody out like that.”
Funny because I think winning/going to the postseason would be funner. Apparently Jacobs likes being on a team that year in and year out does nothing…Good thing we traded his sorry -ss
Me too. Another loser team, just like the Braves.
Lo Duca has been a Marlin for what not even two months … and he barley plays and will be gone last year. He is a steroid gambling junkie wash up who was mad he was not re-signed by the Mets because that stopped him from going out with David Wright partying and picking up the left over girls that Wright did not want.
Which is none, because David Wright be a mad playa.
A playa who can’t get a run in in the ninth to save his freakin’ life. A little less playa, a little more player would be good.
WIthout him, we would have lost. Simple as that.
As long as we are winning handily tonight, I would love love love for Pelfrey to drill Cody Ross right in the ribs with a heater. Ross is a bald turd.
we will need to score a lot of runs because the marlins can sure hit…man, a sweep will be nice!!!
lets go nats,cubs and METS!!!!
What a bunch of complete d-o-u-c-h-e-bags.
I’m a little surprised at Lo Duca and Jacobs. They got nothing but adoration from us when they were here.
Pretty sad statement that the Marlins play much better when they are just trying to ruin it for someone else than when they can actually make it if they win. Oh, and I like how they felt the need to go on record before they even got here.
My greatest wishes right now are three routs by the home team, some chin music for Cody Ross, and a comebacker that dots the “i” on Olson’s jersey and then ricochets into the stands.
i’m always scared of a team with attitude and nothing to lose….. be careful …..
No one should be “scared.” I realize we, as fans, are powerless, but the Mets themselves should be chomping at the bit to sink their teeth into these guys.
Thank you. I’m sick of hearing about how the Mets should worry and be scared about the Marlins. Like the Mets don’t want to kick the living crap out of this punk-laden team that ended their season last year.
. . . and their announcers.
Starting pitchers for Florida are pretty good against us… That worries me…
I’d love for this team to kick the crap out of Florida but I have to keep it real here…
i’m saying the fans, should have concern…… i’m sorry the mets have shown little to be confident about……. they fight ,is the best i can say……. but eventaully the 7th ,8th , and 9th innings do happen …
No one’s saying they’ll roll over or that the games will be easy. I look at this as a great opportunity to stick it to Scott Olsen, however.
oh absolutely agree tmu….. just sayin i expect playoff baseball from both…
Earlier this year Brett Myers was saying how there was going to be some brawls between the Phillies and the Mets this year … that would have been nice to see
maybe he meant in the NLCS
Scott Olsen and Cody Ross. Reaching Keith Olbermann levels on my wouldn’t-shake-their-hands-for-$100 list.
You sir, are the worst person in the WORLD!!!
You sir, are the worst person in the WORLD!!!
Not really, just wanted to say that.
Apparently, I wanted to say that twice.
We have to beware people who call others “the worst person in the world.” A guy like that must have some interesting things in his closet.
I had heard that Olberman wanted his daily top 3 worst people in the world to be called the axis of evil, but apparently someone else with a lot of skeletons in his closet already took that
I think you have to take the “worst person” bit as tongue in cheek. If he literally meant “the worst person in the world,” he would pick bin laden every week.
It’s funny how Paul “Sultan of Shot” LoDuca is chiming in too….he’s the biggest reason we collapsed last year with his big mouth….typical, all talk no action.
More like “Sultan of Jager Shots.”
You know what was really great? Seeing Scott Olsen get tasered by the police.
He’s a thug and hopefully the Mets can give him a nice tattoo.
don’t tase me bro!
If they played that video on the diamondvision during the olsen-santana game…i prob won’t stop laughing until March
whoa…are you guys being serious? is that on youtube? or was it an episode of cops and some other down south d-bag that looked like olsen got tased?
I am pretty sure that there is a youtube video of a University of Florida student getting tased during a visit by a speaker
i meant that video…hey yells “don’t tase me bro!”
not the olsen video…not sure thety even have one
one would think there is a video of olsen getting tased. either that, or one of several hundred lookalikes on cops.
But in all honestly guys the Marlins have a young competive team. No matter what they said they will be tuff this weekend. Say what you want about them but they will be tuff and um they have won more titles then us. Not this team per say but there organization.
nope…they have two and so do we
haven’t they won 2 titles?!?!
didn’t we win 2 titles?
Maybe by “not this team per say” he meant … no, wait, I have no idea what he meant.
OHHHHH! I’d love to see Big Pelf just mash one to Cody Ross’s face….but in a “oops” kind of way. What a turd.
What are the odds of a brawl this weekend?
With this weather, it would be like trying to fight it out on a slip-and-slide. Could be very amusing…
The Marlins are going down this weekend. Period.
My brother lives in Miami and he called me yesterday telling me how everyone he knows is rooting for the Mets and can’t stand the Fish. Pretty sad when your own hometown baseball fans can’t stand you. No wonder they have a chip on their shoulders. LOL pretty funny though.
I live in South Florida and have for the last 11 years and I have NEVER met a Marlins fan…I have met lots of Met fans…Yankee fans…Red Sox fans…Cub fans…but NEVER a Marlins fan
LOL. Exactly. All you see in South Florida is Mets and Yankees jerseys and caps! The Mets Spring Training games in Port St. Lucy attract more fans than Florida regular season games! Pretty much a joke of a team.
They play in a stadium named for the football team in front of 100’s of fans, they have nothing to yap about.
It’s really bitter that these loser pieces of crap from FL are gonna kill us in the final weekend for 2 years in a row
if the mets win the world series in 5 games you’d complain that it wasn’t a sweep.
ooooo. why can’t they sweeeeep this team?
Don’t mind Furioso, he gets a kick out of being negative. It’s his thing. He has to be “Furious” all the time in order to live up to his user name “Furioso. He boxed himself into that roll and now he can’t get out without sounding like a hypocrite. Poor guy. LOL
Not sure what there is to get happy about – at this point the odds are still heavily stacked against the Mets – but tell you what. IF they make the playoffs, I’ll show you I can be happy
For 1 day at least
I got selected for the NLCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what do you think are the chances of them actually making it though. :”””’(
they have to make the playoffs first
I love Olsen’s comments in the Palm
“It’s not that good of a stadium for me,” he said. “I would think there would be more tears when they close down Yankee Stadium than Shea Stadium.”
Maybe they should be played in sunny Florida, where we can have 80 Mets fans show up and have the biggest crowd in Marlins history.
He wants to shut up the 55,000 people at Shea. 55,000 is probably the total number of “fans” who showed up for all of the Marlins home games all season.
baseball package better have all SNY broadcasts throughout the weekend. I can’t stand Florida’s announcers. Plus I just got my GaryKeithandRon shirt!! LETS GO METS
I believe the Friday and Sunday games are SNY and the Saturday is CW 11.
Well, we’re not going to get anything tomorrow afternoon because of the stupid blackout rules. Also, for some reason they tend to show the road team’s feed on Sunday games, or at least it’s seemed that way all year. But yeah, please let it be the SNY crew.
I don’t know lately it seems like they’ve been playing Saturday games. anyway, lets just win starting tonight…weather permitting
I am glad that the Mets have stayed out of the bulletin board material that the guppies are providing. Really, they have a good young tm but they k alot and they tend to talk a lot just like young people who have no idea what they are saying but just have to look like they do when they don’t. Nothing less than a sweep would make me happy and since when do the guppies players know what 50,000 fans look like cause they have never seen them in Miami. Keep on talking cause the Mets are on a mission and they hold their destiny in their own hands. I will also be rooting for Cubs and Nats this weekend, why not? LGM. I want division title and how ironic would it be to wind up tied w/phillies and we get div titile cause we took care of bus against phillies. LOL
That would be great! Manny Acta and the Nats will win at least one game this weekend. Manny is going to do his old team (and friends) a favor.
That’s a good line about Olsen and hearing 1000 fans being silent.
What is it about these other teams that have such a problem with the fact that the mets seem to like each other and celebrate each other’s accomplishments? As long as it’s all in the dugout and not on the field, come on, be an adult.
Ya know what.
Just beat them. Words are meaningless. The Marlins are not going to be able to word the Mets this weekend they need to play baseball.
Very true.
I think with Jacobs he was very upset that the Mets traded him. He seems to still have a huge chip on his shoulder about it.
It will be pretty funny when the Marlins trade him in the offseason. He won’t know who to hate!
I actually did not see anything from Jacobs terribly wrong. He just said they are motivated, so what.
Olsen is a turd, but everyone knew that before he opened his mouth.
Not necessarily those comments, but his general demeanor during the games. He seems to amp up extra.
This is exactly what this team needs – to face their demons from 2007 head on.
An interesting aside…if the Mets win all their remaining games and finish in a tie, then win their 1-game playoff to advance, they will finish the regular season with 92 wins…does that number sound familiar?
And Hanley Ramirez pretty much didn’t say a word. I didn’t see anything anyway. Notice how the only player that is actually a very good player has kept quiet? Who are these clowns?
I guess the correct name for them should be “Blow Fish”.
*Drum Roll*
Very nice.
Seriously. I’m surprised future Hall of Famer Cody Ross didn’t pipe up about sticking it to Pelfrey. Oh wait it’s probably because he didn’t have the entire Marlins bench behind him.
Ah-HAAA!!
So that explains Jimmy Rollins’ big annoying YAP!
Get ready folks, The Florida Blow Fish are coming to town. I’m shaking in my boots.
I could ‘Smell” them already.
Somebody should put a baseball in Scott Olsen’s ear. Or, better yet, give him something he’s more familiar with…shoot him with a TAZER gun.
that’s like saying “I didn’t get laid tonight, but I c–kblocked 12 other guys”
Hahaha very good analogy.
excellent analogy
excellent
we’ve had some crappy mets teams in the past…i dont recall one taking pride in being a “spoiler.” (i could be wrong)
Shea may not be a great stadium, but it’s sure better than that dump in South Florida. At least we actually have fans.
Shea Stadium ‘Parking Lot” is better than their stadium!!
**** the Marlins. I live down here in FL and the Marlins have about 1 thousand fairweather fans and that’s it. Probably because half the people that live down here are from NY/NJ. They are bunch of loser punks that are going to get beat down this weekend.
The Mets have some payback to do this weekend and S. Olsen is going to get ripped a new one. And I can’t stand that futhermucker Cody Ross. Talk about a scrub player having a decent year all of a sudden acting like he can talk some smack. Right between the eyes !!!
LoDuca is a loser, natural born loser!!! He’ll be lucky to just get in a game this weekend he sux so bad. And Mike Jacobs, try a new hairdue that isn’t straight out of the 80’s…nice spike, J.A.!!!
I wonder if Manuel would consider replacing the overmatched Aguayo with Sandy Alomar…or Mr. Magoo. Aguayo is the Sarah Palin of third base coaches and is dangerous to our playoff aspirations.
LOL, that’s spot-on! Although I bet Aguayo knows what the Bush Doctrine is.
Manuel: Hey Luis! Tell Murphy to swing away!
Aguayo: In what respect, Jerry?
damn, that made me laugh
“What exactly do you mean by, ’swing’?”
With two botched calls in the last week alone (not sending Delgado Wednesday, sending Church last night), I’d tend to agree with you…although he’s less attractive than the VPILF…
None of those comments surprise me except for LoDuca’s. You’d expect to hear stuff like that from a team like that, but I would think LoDuca would act with more dignity. He looks small and petty and like a loser with that comment. His grudge is obvious, but it sounds so unseemly coming from someone who’s been with the Marlins for only a few months.
I agree with the comment above that the weather may actually work in the Mets favor.
LoDuca said similar stuff earlier this season when he was with the Nats…before he got uhh CUT
Yeah, I vaguely remember those comments. But those were different. They were simply the “we want to beat their butt” variety which all competitors would say.
This is more like a “I want them to suffer because they dumped me and made me suffer” type of comment. It just seems so petty and small and juvenile coming from someone who’s been with that team only a short while.
Also, compare LoDuca’s attitude to Glavine’s. He recently commented on the Mets, saying something like he was rooting for them to make it to the playoffs if the Braves couldn’t. Sure, Glavine left on his own volition and LoDuca was spurned by the Mets, but you would think it should be more about the friendships and relationships you’ve left behind than anything else.
“He looks small and petty and like a loser with that comment”
What a coincidence, since he actually is a small, petty loser.
Emphasis on small. Dude is short.
Listening to Diet Coke right now. He is a lunatic.
Figures they win a huge pennant race game and all he can talk about is what they did wrong in the win.
it probably sounded something like this:
“uh, first of all…that was a great win by the mets last night. but could you please troi to beat a AAAA squad in easy fashion? i mean come on. this isn’t the 1998 Yankees they were facing. let’s be real. the Yankees would have smacked this cubs team around. that’s what great teams do. pedro can’t let micah hoffpauir hit a home run in that first inning. it’s that simple. joba would have buzzed him up and in in his next at bat.
we’ll be right back with john sterling on the yankees, after this.”
I’m going to miss Russo. If he were still around, it would have been: “Just a terrible job by Murphy in that spot. Terrible job. You don’t bunt with 2 strikes and with Reyes running no less. Come on. Terrible job.”
You called it. No John Sterling, but he just had Sweeney Murti on for 10 minutes and is talking about some deal with Girardi and Cashman. WGAS???
Mike Francesa is flipping out on WFAN right now about Murphy bunting in the 9th last night.
Who is he blaming that on? Aguayo or Murphy?
fatsecca should flip out over his diet program.
Flip out on Aguayo all you want. It was his fault.
Not Murph’s.
Let’s keep politics out of this baseball blog, shall we. No need to show your “Bleeding Heart Liberal” tendencies on here. I agree with you about Aguayo, he might costs us a big game down the line this weekend or if we make the playoffs. Bye the way, I’m voting Democrat this time around, can’t do any worse than the last administration.
She’s scary. After listening to her a few times, I’m convinced she’s Bush in a skirt but dumber. She’d blow the world up.
I love that on that Miami Herald article (NY envy if I ever saw it) there are a grand total of 4 comments, all from Mets fans, probably from this blog.
Nobody cares about the Marlins. Is that why they hate the Mets so much? I just can not for the life of me figure out why so many players in Florida, Atlanta and Washington (but especially Florida) seem to hate the Mets as personally and passionately as they do.
it’s becuz the only “real” fans who show up when they play the Mets in Miami are Met fans…they are jealous…poor babies!
Well, Jacobs and LoDuca were both Mets rejects… and Scott Olsen is a moron…
That pretty much sums it up.
Btw, does anyone else also notice that LoDuca’s comment is perhaps one of the most grammatically misconstrued sentences you’ve ever seen?

Whatever. Just win, baby.
I tried to say “pas$ionately” in the last post, and it was blocked. Seriously? You can’t say that in a SPORTS BLOG?!
It’s all about the A$$!!!
that’s what she said
This absolutely ridiculous now. The state of mind of a team wanting to be a spoiler has nothing to do with the outcome of the game. These guys are major leaguers and are going to play hard no matter what. They are not a good baseball team and if we want to make the playoffs we have a beat up on them
Plain and simple. It flat out doesn’t matter if they hate the Mets, us, or anyone; if our guys play their game, they will not lose to this garbage team
CNN just reported the Luis Aguayo has been flown in to help settle bailout proposal.
Jerry should just coach third himself, like Pete Rose used to do.
It would save him some distance when he has to go to the pitching mound two dozen times every game.
Maybe the Marlins should focus on winning and getting to the playoffs instead of just trying to ruin it for the Mets. Its amazing no one on that team would say, “I’d rather be in their spot” or “I’d like to be fighting for the playoffs next year at this point, not being a spoiler”
I loved that guy Lo Duca and he turned out to be a real butthole (that is my censored version). He’s bitter, because we dropped him, which I had faulted Omar for, but he made his own roid-laced bed and now he has to sleep in it. And the only way he will take comfort, is by seeing us hurt? OK, he’s on the opposition and it’s his job to beat us, even if it’s a meaningless game, but what about this quote:
“It was not a good memory and I’m hoping we can make it not good memories for them again this year.”
Well, he was on the Mets then, so whatever – I guess that’s his wish and it speaks for itself. I sure wouldn’t want to see him around Shea in any “ex-Met” capacities for this or any other celebrations in the future.
