Ryan Church...

...is awesome.  At the beginning of spring training I didn't really have any feelings about him, good bad or otherwise.  Now, I really like him.  It isn't only because he has been the Mets MVP so far, there is just something about him that I really enjoy.  He always seems like he is trying and I feel bad when the team isn't playing well because he came here and he expects to win.

Anyways, this is a really good interview with him and I am going to watch the video once I finish typing this.

Let's Go Mets!

"Next thing you know shawty got low low low low low low low"

OH YEAH! That is what my dad txted me after the game ended. I was txting with him for a while because he was at a bar mitzvah in Pennsylvania with my mom. I enjoyed watching this game. What made it enjoyable was the win. What made it doubly enjoyable is the fact that my brother and sister are Yankee fans. I really want to enjoy this win but I also want to be able to enjoy a series win which would also mean a short weekend sweep. John Maine (i think) EDIT: Poo Perez is pitching tomorrow so it is prime time for him to earn his name back. You can save what I said about John Maine for his start against the Braves. is pitching tomorrow night and the Mets have won with him on the mound so I think there is a good shot at the Mets taking both of the games from the Yankees. I have confidence that will happen. The boxscore is here so you can think of your own game summary.

I have a question:
What would you do if you were Josh Fogg?

Let's Go Mets!

"It's Not My Time"

It's a good song.  Check it out.

Again, I am too boring to figure out a real title for the post.  Last night was a bummer.  I guess I will go whenever the game is made up.  I haven't figured out when that is though.

Johan is going today against Andy Pettitte.  I have a story about Rasner who was supposed to start last night that I will tell you later.

Let's Go Mets!

"And the shadow of the day will embrace the world in gray"

I am currently listening to that song and I can't think of a name for this post. The weather looks like it will clear up so my dad is planning on leaving soon. I don't really want to get to the game that early because the weather sucks. I am glad I am going though. I have been to Yankee Stadium more than Shea this year but this time it's a Mets game so that is good.

Johan is going tonight!
Let's Go Mets!

I Could Punch a Brick Wall...

...but I won't because we all know where that gets you. Mike Pelfrey pitched the best game of his LIFETIME and still gets the loss! I feel like I care more than the team. Mike Pelfrey was out there to win and he did what he had to but the Mets looked like they didn't want to play. I am getting so sick of how they are playing and if I even see Heilman up in the BULLPEN again during a close game I am not sure what I will do. There cannot be more of letting Heilman pitch through his struggles because it cost the Mets the game last night and will continue to cost the Mets more games. Jose Reyes looks like he isn't thinking when he is on base and sometimes when he is in the field and today he jogs to 2nd base and sprints to 3rd because he thinks he can succeed while giving half the effort. He has started to understand that he has to get on base. But when he does get on base he has to STAY on base! He always finds some way to get out on the basepaths. I hate to say it, but, David hasn't looked like David for the past couple of weeks and Ryan Church has had a rough 2 or 3 days. The bullpen is giving up too many runs and it is making the rest of the pitching staff look bad. Not many people I know look at the boxscore to see how the starter did. They just assume the starter gave up the runs and that makes me mad beyond belief. The Mets starting pitching has had rough spots but overall I have been pretty confident about it. The bullpen gives up runs and make losses like yesterday's look worse than the 2 runs Claudio Vargas gave up. According to this MetsBlog poll, Joe Smith is the most trusted reliever and that is scary. Heilman has underperformed and saying that is an understatement. Sanchez has not lived up to expectations and Wise has barely pitched, although he had a good outing today. Scott Schoeneweis has been an anchor in the bullpen and last year people were calling for his head! Pedro Feliciano has had his quiet success. It is scary when I think the 2 relievers I would trust the most right now are Joe Smith and Scott Schoeneweis.

I will be at the game tomorrow night and the Mets better have some life!

1) I am glad this ended the way it did

I don't even feel like writing
Let's Go Mets!

David Cook Rocks My Sox!

Today before gym I was arguing with one of my friends about the 2 David's on American Idol.  I like David C. more and she likes David A.  Just to give David Cook a step up I posted that.

The Mets won last night but I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't studying for a Romeo and Juliet test while watching.  I don't think my grade suffered because the test was pretty easy.  I am glad the Mets won again and I really trust John Maine when he is on the mound.  I also trust Ryan Church to do just about anything.  He has been the Mets best hitter and plays nicely in right field. Did I mention he has a rocket for an arm?  He will never be like David, Grady, Xavier, Mike, Joe, or (now) Alex, but I think he is cute!

My "boyfriend" went 2-for-4 in the Zephyrs' 4-3 loss to Sacramento.  He got 2 singles and is now batting .228.  He really has play well so the Mets can call him up the next time Ramon Castro goes down.  Yes, I know he will get injured again.  

The Mets would really benefit with another pretty face on the team...

Claudio Vargas it is your turn.  Show us what you got!

Let's Go Mets!

Boo-Yah!

The Mets are staying with Joe!

I say he has the best smile in the Bigs!

Prank call LIVE on Sportscenter

LOL!

"More Hips"

He should be on Dancing With The Stars!

Clap Clap! Clap Clap Clap!

The Nationals reminded me of the softball teams I play on last night.  Why would a bunch of grown men do that?  Nelson was asking the same question last night.  Last night was a game to forget because the Mets sucked in every way.  Except for Joe Smith when he pitched a scoreless inning in relief.  I have read in multiple places he is likely to stay so, YAY!  

I don't really have anything else to say.

Let's Go Mets!

...it is your turn Johnny!
