2008 MLB Season

[philly97flyer]

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?

Did you not read my previous post? Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. Talent doesnt mean :censored: when you have a team full of headcases and underachievers. Ill take a team with a little less talent, but plays the game hard and the right way. All that dancing, hot dogging, and showboating will catch up to them, I promise you. It did last year, and Im not the least bit worried that it will again this year.

Met fans should be smacked after every pitch

There, that's more like it.

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.

Nice for now. It's gonna hurt come October when CC becomes a free agent.

Dunno if Milwaukee's gonna be able to keep him around, especially after the stellar "contract year" he's been having.

Maybe the Braves will actually spend some money and go after a starter to compliment Hudson, who I believe is a free agent after 2009.....

Seeing how Atlanta is about to unload Texiera -- then Smoltz and Glavine are pretty much done -- yeah, Sabathia should be a possibility.

He may bring Octoberfest to Milwaukee but I dont see the Brewers having a shot to sign him especially if those Yankee dollars complete with a new stadium come in the picture.

I think everyone involved understood that this was a rent a player deal. The Brewers are going for it right now. So far it's working.

The Brewers HAVE to go for it now. Outside of Sheets, their pitching was pretty suspect. Their bullpen is a mess. Their starting pitchers not named Ben or CC are mediorcre. And those two guys are free agents this year. They have alot of talent but are short on pitching. Its this year or Bust, cause they are going to finish 3rd or 4th in the Central next year unless they can sign some guys.

[Shumway]

Apparently, if Kerry Wood has to make a trip to the DL for his finger, former Notre Dame wide receiver, Jeff Samardzja, might get called up. Although I don't follow Notre Dame that closely, I'm kind of excited.

[DEAD!]

Mets are now in first.... ummmm.... I guess it's all over now...

[TFoA]

Yeah, I never wanna hear Mets fans claim that the season is over after a loss in July. WTF.

[footballfiji]

There must be something in the clubhouse water in Atlanta. Chipper pulls his hammy (which I'm going to officially re-name his "Iowa Chop") and Hudson leaves after 70 pitches with elbow inflammation.

If the Braves pull out a series this weekend in Philly, then they should definitely be buyers and not sellers before July 31.

So are they now claiming that the pennant is just a formality? I love it, after the first loss in that Phillies series Mets fans were talking about how the season was over, it was a "crippling loss" or "devastating loss" and all other sorts of nonsense. Billy Wagner was a big wuss etc... Then their team proceeded to take the next two games and they now stand alone in first place. The phrase "wow Mets fans I guess you feel pretty -ing stupid right about now" comes to mind. I'm sure we'll see the pendulum swing the other way just as soon as The Cardinals take a game in their series against The Mets this weekend.

Edit: PS Mets fans, we still have 60 games to play.

Jay Mohr is a typical Yankee fan

[Jigga]

I don't know which one sucks more, Mets fans or Jay Mohr's "comedy."

I don't know which one sucks more, Mets fans or Jay Mohr's "comedy."

Mets fans. I'd rather share an apartment with Larry The Cable Guy and Carlos Mencia than listen to mets fans anymore.

You say that now...but the 45th time you go to the Bathroom and you hear "Git-R-Done" coming from the other room, you'll say otherwise.

Thanks, Mets fans, for becoming more unbearable than my fellow Red Sox fans. Between the Shea Stadium trivia and the overreacting to a July loss... you're making us look good! So, again, thank you, guys!

you guys are a walk in the park by comparison. It almost makes me want to apologize for all the nasty things I've ever said to, or about, Red Sox fans...almost. Actually, I think you guys winning another title last year may have in the end helped your rep more than it hurt it. At least now you're all acting like you've been somewhere. Dare I say that Red Sox fans seem to have gone from whiny and reactionary to displaying a quiet confidence? At least around here anyway. Who knows? Maybe my kindness towards Red Sox fans is more a result of percocet than anything else...

Hey, at least Red Sox fans can now gloat about their success. I don't know about "quiet" confidence, but I don't mind them boasting and even the occasional shot at other teams... unlike say.... Cubs fans.... especially those who call some American League teams "irrelevant"
