2008 MLB Season

Met fans live and die with every pitch

You people do understand that they're playing baseball right? Living and dying with every pitch is as silly as it is pointless. For some reason the phrase "get a life" comes to mind.

They need to win tonight becuase of how they lost yesterday.

They have blown two leads already now its a 6-3 lead if they blow it again it will just be crippling

With 61 games to play it will be crippling? You know your sports posts are taking on the same qualities of your political posts. You make these absurd statements and then add nothing to back up your point. So I ask, how will it be crippling? And if they hold on to the lead will it somehow propel them to the pennant? It's one game in July Tank. All it means is a win or a loss. Baseball fans that actually know something about the game seem to understand that the game has ups and downs. You could get swept this week only to reel off 10 wins in a row in the next two weeks.

In any case, I hope The Marlins win that division on the last day of the season. I want that solely because you and the other Mets fans are so far beyond the pale that it makes it impossible to root for your team.

Nut psyche is important and the Mets season began with a bruised psyche and they just got over that.

Mike Francessca even said today is the most important game of the season so far and he is one of the most creidble sports voices on the radio.

That post spoke volumes about a lot of things. Most of which I shudder to think about.

Did it ever occur to you that The Mets just aren't as good in real life as they look on paper?

[NJTank]

Come listen to New York Sports radio and they agree with me.

And at $140 Million they better be good

This just in: New York sports radio is biased.

[Epiphanic]

For $120 million the Mariners should be good but look where they are.

Money does not equal success.

ALL sports radio is biased. I don't know if you've ever listened to the Loose Cannons, but they're the poster children for that.

[DEAD!]

It's like saying that $5 cup of coffee is good because it costs $5 when a $1.50 cup will do just fine

Oh yes, absolutley, but New York IS New York. Comically so.

You can not tell me the Phillies are better then the Mets

There is no way on earth the Phillies are better then the Mets, when the Mets want to play to their full potential they are the best team in the National League it was the case in 2006, and 95% of 2007. If not for that collapse last year the Mets would have led the division almost wire to wire a season after leading wire to wire.

Its just a matter of desire the Mets sometimes take games off, and under Willie Randolph it was almost like a loss was no big deal the Mets could turn it on any time, that dont work.

Now they have caught up there should be no excuses. The Mets should add a corner OF in case Church continues to hear bells, and to provide an extra bat, and I pray Luis Castillo needs knee surgery so Easley and Argenis Ryees continue to split time at 2B.

They can also use another reliever

But who has a better starting five in the NL

Mike Pelfrey is developing in to a solid starter now that he lost the stupid mouthguard.

Johan is Johan

Oliver Perez when he is on is one of the nastiest lefties in the NL

John Maine is usually solid and

Pedro may have some magic left

You have Jose Reyes the most exciting player in MLB

David Wright the best 3B in the NL

Carlos Beltran

Delgado looks rejuvenated

Tatis is a miracle find

Ramon Castro is very underrated

Endy Chavez is the best defensive OF in baseball.

How can this team not win?

[footballfiji]

David Wright the best 3B in the NL

Chipper Jones might have an argument there. Possibly Troy Glauss as well.

[NJTank]

Chipper Jones is on the final turn at Augusta he will be in the AL in a few years as a DH. He is a very good player borderline Hall of Famer, but his body is breaking down.

Then why aren't they in first place?

Tank, if you've lost faith in this team like you've stated so many times before, then why do you still follow them?

The move that was needed was made Willie was fired, if Willie was still there the Mets will be ten games below .500 and battling the Nats for last.

Somebody better tell The Cardinals, Marlins, Twins, Rays, and White Sox that based on Tank's logic they shouldn't be winning. I'm sure that once those teams hear the news they will revert to form.

How can The Mets not win? Simple. Potential vs. Performance. That's why they play the games on the field instead of on paper or on dumbassed sports radio shows. From where I see it, The Phillies think they are at least as good as the Mets. They proved it last year and it looks like they aren't going to simply take your word for it that they aren't as good this year.

This just in: CC Sabathia is a freaking beast!

Another win tonight, now 4-0 as a Brewer -- and on top of that, a complete game shutout over the Cards tonight. It must be nice to be a Milwaukee fan for once.

Shades of Rick Sutcliffe in '84 or Doyle Alexander in '87. Nice trade for The Brewers.

Why is the Jays-Orioles game Postponed? It's been over 5 innings, so shouldn't the game be called as a final?

(edit: Nevermind I realized they weren't able to play the bottom of the 6th)
