You have got to be kidding me. Your generalization of an entire gender – both of them – is just ludicrous.
All men are big, tough guys? All woman are big babies?

How old are you anyway?

Look, we all know harder, aggressive play wins. The other night Barkley was talking about how soft the Dallas Mavericks are. Soft teams dont win. It’s the harder, more aggressive teams like the Celtics that win.

The bottom line is, as much as I hate to admit it, Minaya has put together a soft team and the Phillies are just harder and more aggressive than us.

Everyone constantly gets on Beltran’s soft play, or Reyes’ dancing, or Delgado’s loafing. Even Wright is considered homosexual by some. We’re soft, lets face it. The Phillies have a lot of harder players. Guys like Myers, Rollins, Utley, Lidge. They play like men and not like women like the Mets do. About the only ballsy player we have is Putz now. Minaya is soft and hes putting together a soft team.

This new guy Kielty, hes harder, but he doesnt fit in to the soft culture Minaya has invented for this team so he probably wont even make the team.

We just need a harder team, thats all. We’re jsut too soft.

All I know is, that one night where Rowand made the catch was the first night I knew the Phillies owned us and I started to feel genuine fear of the Phillies. I tried to deny it, but deep down I knew the Phillies had us. It was that one game. I knew wed win in 2006 but I knew also that the Phillies were going to take us down.

It was like we couldnt put them away in that game. We had them and we just couldnt put them away. It happened again and again after that. Every time they tried to bury them they rose up and buried us.

As they showed by winning the WS they were clearly the better team”

Never helps to have Reyes go 1/9 either. Hanley was 2/8. Looks like the both choked.
Remember I really like Reyes but you have got to start admiting that he has choked even more than Wright over the years.

No doubt Grave. The Mets had a huge choke job in 2007. But to say that they did in 2008 does not give the Phillies enough credit. As they showed by winning the WS they were clearly the better team. They just happen to have an off couple of weeks that allowed the Mets to get back into competition. You have to be the best team in order to coke.

I freely admit they did choke in 2007, although I don’t enjoy constantly discussing it. It’s the idea that they choked in 2008 that I find unfair, considering the time starters missed to injury and the depths of the roster they had to reach.

I am a lifelong Met and Giant fan, so I prefer ‘upset.’ Tom Brady spent a lot of time on his back that evening, I’m sure he was pretty upset. I’m out for a while, Lets Go Mets!
