We all know what happened after that. Coincidence? I think not. In fact, the wave probably changed the wind currents in the dugout and caused Castillo to slip down the stairs as well. The wave needs to be banned.Schnecknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-8000459759246928592009-08-05T15:17:56.749-04:002009-08-05T15:17:56.749-04:00Mets got rooked on the Putz- Green deal.

Putz was damaged goods and Greene . . . well he just stinks.<br /><br />And, please, can they stop telling us how many games the Mets are behind in the wild card race? It really insults our intelligence. Instead of this, they should tell us how many players got hurt each game.Unsernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-45584856790243588562009-08-05T12:48:20.819-04:002009-08-05T12:48:20.819-04:00Down goes Niese.

Are young pitchers going to be afraid to pitch for the Mets fearing a sort of Final Destination-style injury?<br /><br />I was just witness to another first for me: seeing a pitcher tweaking something and then hurting himself a hell of a lot more on a practice pitch. <br /><br />See? Even if this team is going nowhere, there's still interesting things to see. Next up: a plague of locusts during the seventh inning stretch.<br /><br />Time for another Blue Moon (for a "teachable moment").

I admire the optimism (and your spirit in general), which I share to a limited degree, but this team has been going nowhere since Memorial Day. I also knew that, at some point, there was going to be a short winning streak (lousy teams have shorts spurts all the time) that would temporarily get some people's hearts aflutter. You see how long that lasted.<br /><br />Hell, we've been here before. In this context, 1991 springs to mind, although at this point in time that season they were in the middle of a 2-18 run (Goddamn! I just looked that up, how the hell did I forget about that? Supression, no doubt) Transforming a 55-43 record to a 57-61 record. <br /><br />Wow, that was actually worse than what we're going through now, <i>a lot</i> worse. And the Mets had Gooden, Cone, and Viola starting in that stretch. WTF, huh?<br /><br />Where was I? Oh yeah, the 2009 Mets being done. Subway sadwiches. Johan. Chipolte peppers (mmmmm... chipolte).<br /><br />The moral of all this is: we can all watch the games without worrying anymore: watch the game, eat a lousy sandwich, drink lots of beer (the very important part), and after the game is over visit your local Ford dealer and piss on one of the new 2010 models.

I refused to believe it up till now, and even last night I refused to. Oh well. Time to drink. Oh btw I am following this team to California this weekend. I made plans to take a trip to see the Angels. At least I'll see a team that has something to play for.Coophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961774688700021954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-40564857503278834322009-08-05T10:52:46.239-04:002009-08-05T10:52:46.239-04:00I hate being a Mets fan.
