You Probably Think I'm Joking

The Mets are currently leading their game 7-2. I am not kidding. The B-Mets are winning.

I just wanted to try to humor you.

Put Me In Coach!

Mike Nickeas is starting as catcher tonight for the B-Mets. One commenter that I will not name suggested giving up on him. I will never give up on him though. I mean, even if he doesn't ever make it to the Mets he is still somebody else to follow when the Mets aren't playing well. And he started the season in AAA so the Mets must see something in him. I know he is known as more of a catcher for defense and handling a pitching staff so as long as he can do that somebody will find a use for him. I just want him to keep playing and once he stops I will figure out what to do.

But for now... Let's Go Mike!

and seeing the way the Mets are playing tonight, I really need him!

and if you go to this photo gallery Mike is in the first picture. YAY!

Na Na Na Poo Poo, Perez Beat You!

Well the Mets won bragging rights in New York, so I had to. Perez was absolutely dominant as he usually is against the Yankees. At points it looked like he was about to lose concentration the way he often does but that didn't happen. He looked locked in today and gave up one run and absolutely no walks. He didn't lose anything with the brief but strong rainfall and he just looked very good in the outing today. But the Mets offense did not get many hits with runners in scoring position. Castillio got an infield single and Delgado hit a homer. The Mets had 12 hits and 3 runs. But they came away with a win and that is what matters.

They start a 4 game series with St. Louis tomorrow night with John Maine on the mound against Kyle Lohse.

Let's Go Mets!

About the game...

I am finally posting about the game, so here it is:

I got there just as the Mets were coming off the field from batting practice.  I was bummed that I missed that but the events of the game were enough to make up for that.  At the beginning of the game the Mets took the lead and it felt good to be one of only a few Mets fans around.  But it got really annoying when Yankee fans would cheer for absolutely EVERYTHING that went against the Mets.  (But that's who they are).  And when the Mets took the lead and then gave it back a couple of times it was really bad.  But starting in the fifth inning the game got really fun.  After Delgado got the bases clearing double the Yankee fan sitting next to me said that the 2 run lead that the Mets had would not be enough for the bullpen to hold.  Little did he know, the Mets weren't done.  In the fifth inning something happened that people do not get to see on tv.  The stadium had finally quieted down after the Delgado grand slam but that didn't last long.  Some bozo ran onto the field into center field during Trot Nixon's at bat.  Security caught him finally and faceplanted him into the ground to let him eat some dirt.  But that only lasted for a short time.  And the Mets kept pouring on runs and the guy sitting next to me finally left.

For the first few innings the most interesting thing in the stadium was possibly a squirrel.  I first noticed it during pregame stretching in short left field with the Mets. It ran around the warning track multiple times and went into the Mets dugout a few times as well.  At one point it looked like the grounds crew caught it but it appeared later in the game.  It kinda reminded me of the weasel in Ned's Declassified.  The field really became a zoo as birds landed on it.  There was one that was on the line near first base and Fernando Tatis flinched to try to scare it but it didn't work.  Then the bird made its way to Jose Reyes who had fun being distracted by it.

I stayed until the end of the game and moved down to field level to watch the last inning.  I took some pics of the Mets shaking hands after the game.

Let's Go Mets!

...and Ryan is back in the lineup. YAY!

I Really Miss You!

I am looking forward to having this pretty face back in the lineup soon:

This One Really Hurts

I swear, the umpires of Major League Baseball are out to get the Mets.  It has gone on all year with the bad calls.  It started in the first series of the year when Carlos Beltran was denied the homer in Florida.  Since then, I can remember Beltran being robbed of another homer and I am pretty sure Delgado has been too.  (I know I don't have a very good memory).  But the thing is they have been hosed on many plays as well as their pitchers being squeezed.  Today Johan was thrown off when he was sqeezed during a Derek Jeter at bat.  The Mets also got a bad call on a tag play at first base.  Today the umps were even sitting in the dugout with the Yankees during the rain delay!  

I want the MLB to get all brand new umpires NOW!

Obviously, the game recap for yesterday will have to wait.

Yeah, Well

I went to the first game yesterday and had A LOT of fun.  I am kinda tired now because I went right from the game to another graduation party and I had to do something in the city this morning.  I'll have a post about the game later.

Let's Go Mets!

Oh yeah, Mike went 0-for-3 last night in the B-Mets' loss.

This Made Me LOL!

From Surfing the Mets:

Church said that he feels no lingering effects from the concussions suffered March 1 and May 20, save for when his wife asks him to help around the house. When that happens, Church becomes suddenly weak and unable to complete even the most simple task.

Let's Go Ryan!
...and Mets!

You Go Girl!

This is a really great post on the blog We've Go Heart. I know I am only 14 so I really have no idea what is going on the great big world out there but I do know that plenty of guys think girls are idiots when it comes to sports. I see it at school. The boys come up to me and give me Mets trivia and it feels so good to answer all of their questions correctly. They are afraid to admit it but, I know just as much, if not more, baseball trivia than they do. I think people have just gotten used to the boys being into sports and the girls being into make up and fashion.
So just read the post. I MEAN IT!

Oh yeah, the Mets rule!
Let's Go Mets!

This Is For Xavier

I really miss Xavier Nady more than any other player that has ever left the Mets. He was with the team for a very short amount of time but he left a huge impact on the fans and I have read in multiple places that the players enjoyed having him around. I would be the happiest person in the world if the Mets found a way to bring him back while keeping Mike Pelfrey, Joe Smith, and Mike Nickeas. I know the Mets don't necessarily have the trade bait to get him away from the Pirates but a girl can dream.

It would be such a plus to add him to the Mets!
