(167) Harry: You know what else? I’m tired about the Citifield excuse. It didn’t seem to keep A-Rod, Swisher, or Posada from putting the ball over the fence.

166. Excelent points Steve the Oringnal. Unfortunately, people like Gil are totaalitarian jerks that really beleive everything in the world is done on purpose because the world is against them. In Gil
s case, the world should be against him because he is as intolerant as world greats like Stalin and Hitler. So Gil wouldn’t be satisfied with 162-1 because the one loss was ehen he gave his time or his money to see the game.
165. While I disagree with Mr C’s singles theory it doesn’t apply to the last series becaus ethere weren’t any singles to go along with the missing power hits.
Aren’t you all glad David wrigth decided to be a singles hitter because he couldn’t huit 35 HRs in the dump that Wilpon built.

I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. David Wright and his horrendous power numbers are killing this team right now. 4 home runs at this point in the season is absolutely pathetic. The Mets aren’t counting on him to be a singles and doubles hitter at this point. He needs to start turning on the power NOW.

Gill: How exactly do you want to accomplish blowing up the team? By trading away 5 disabled listed starters from the staff and the starting nine and one disable listed reliever who was an important cog to the bullpen? I can understand your frustration…I am frustrated too. But what are you going to do if the major pieces to the team aren’t playing? If the Mets had this type of embarassment with Beltran, Delgado, Reyes, Maine, Perez, and Putz still active, I can understand your comments. But there is nothing to blow up at this point.

Where’s my boy Steve C at??? How is that “winning the game by singles” theory doing now?

Jeff M (156) You’re right, we’ve become so used to Mariano and his World Class performances that we take him for granted. Jeter has been my favorite all time/all around player since he first came up to the Yankees and he was truly enjoying toying with the Mets – he had a big smile on his face during those last innings and he rarely allows that much emotion to show. Talk about role models for kids – on and off the field – he’s your guy.

not that we can fire the owners, but at the end of the season, if the owner can buy a clue, he needs to clean house.

158 BLOW UP THIS TEAM NOW.
We should start a petition to demand the Wilpons sell the team. Then fire Minaya. Fire Manuel. Then start disassembling the roster piece by piece.
The Mets are completely incompetent.
Utterly, completely and hopelessly inept.
Their putrid play makes me want to throw up.
Watching them is like watching a smoldering train wreck.
I resent their lack of attention to detail.
I abhor their indifference.
To love this ballclub is an exercise in self-loathing.

my point is that how do you fire the manager two years in a row in the middle of the season on one of the premier teams in the league?

they would be admitting they have no clue. not that they do, but it would be an admission of the obvious.

it would be cassandra saying the emperor had no clothes and someone actually believing her.

(159) yeah, they weren’t this embarrassing last year until the final week.
