Mets beat Card 11-0 playing with AAA lineup
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

The NL East as a whole is nearing the end of "Hell Month" where they've gone toe to toe with the best division in baseball, the AL East.

Let's look at the wild card standings.

San Francisco Giants
Milwaukee Brewers 1.0
New York Mets 2.5
Colorado Rockies 2.5
Florida Marlins 3.0
Chicago Cubs 3.5

So this is interesting looking at the wild card standings and considering the schedule. Especially from a Mets perspective. If you're contending for the wild card you have to be hoping that in this past month, if you don't have to play the AL East or AL Central, that you build a good 5-6 game lead. In other words, you're the NL West.

That didn't happen. The Mets have a three game set with the Yankees coming up and they are basicly fielding a AAA ball club. They have Tatis batting cleanup if you need any perspective on that. Not to mention have Redding and Neive filling in for injured John Maine and Ollie Perez. They've also been filling the lead off spot by committee.

Milwaukee, they have no pitching to speak of and still hang within one game of the wild card. Chicago sits about 3.5 back.

That's just pathetic with all things considered that Frisco can't seem to build more than a 1 game lead in the Wild Card given the easier set of teams in the AL West and they are relativly healthy.

The Mets are due to get healthy after the All Star Break and the schedule is pretty light for them the rest of the way. They've hung in this long with no Perez, Maine, Delgado, Reyes, and Putz. Couple that with Beltran who's out for two weeks with a bone bruise and has only played 62 of the 92 the Mets have played thus far.

The Mets just refuse to go away. With Santana and Pelfrey pretty much showing their best stuff after the ASB I'd say the 0-55 AL Weak Frisco Giants are pretty much fucked.

1. There's nothing more sad and disgraceful listening to a fan whine about
how this person isn't healthy, how that person isn't healthy, and how the moon and the stars didn't line up properly and on and on.

Did you hear Dodger fans whine and go on and on about Ramirez being out of the lineup for a month?

What an embarrassment.

All you have is calling us "Frisco" and the NL West "weak."

I bet that's not going to make you feel any better when you're sitting at home in the fall .. especially with an abysmal NY Islanders hockey team to fall back on.

Poor guy.

2. I may be sitting at home in the fall
I guarentee you'll be right there with me.

You absolutely blow donkey balls if you can't stretch out more than a 2.5 game lead in the Wild Card against a AAA team playing against the AL East most of the month.

Not to mention more than a 1 game lead against Milwaukee which has no pitching.

or a Cubs team at 3.5 games who have no offense what so ever.

If you're an NL Weak team and can''t build yourself a comfy cushion with those factors in play, you suck man. I had figured all the Mets needed to do was play.500 ball this month to stay in it. They've been playing SUB .500 ball and still well in the race with plenty of season left to play.

Even with a shitty manager I'm optimistic, BABY!!!!!!!!

YAHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

BTW; Do the sharks even have a table set up for this Fridays draft? I think they need to bring back Claude Lemieux. Another thing, the sharks are bigger chokers than the Mets.

So are the 0-55 Frisco Small Guys.

3. LOL. Just a few weeks ago, you were going on and on about how the
Giants are one of the worst teams in baseball.

How the Mets took 3-of-4 in SF (even though the Giants are much improved) ......

AND NOW all of a sudden.....

You have to come up with something else . criticizing the Giants for not having a bigger lead over the Mets in the wildcard. "You absolutely blow donkey balls if you can't stretch out more than a 2.5 game lead" :spray:

Not only that, it's apparently disgraceful the Giants don't have bigger wildcard leads over Milwaukee and the Cubs. Keep in mind, this, a team that some predicted to lose 100 games. :rofl:

What a display you're puting on! :D

4. Yes there is. Listening to them whine about attendance.
At least injuries actually have an impact on the on field performance of a team.

5. And the Mets win again!!!!!
Take 3 of 4 from St Louis.

What a game BTW. Pujols was clearly out a 2nd on pick off play that was blown by the ump.

6. Always blaming the umps. Why I bet they have it out for the Mets.
:rofl:


BTW, the Cardinals aren't anything spectacular on the road.

In fact, not only did SF recently take 2-of-3, it wasn't so long long when the Giants won the pennant against St. Louis.

I'll never forget it, considering I was sitting in View Box Section 314 while it occurred.

It was sad we didn't go on to win our 6th World Championship. :(
