The Reaper is Here. Please End the Mets Season!

Let's face facts. Like the skeleton pictured above, the 2007 Mets have no guts.

Here is a typical game:

Innings 1-4
Mets up 4-0 or 5-0. Someone has usually hit a home run, fans are feeling good about the game.

Innings 5-6
Starting pitcher loses it, reliever #1 comes in. Reliever #1 gives up a run or two, in comes next reliever. Second reliever gives up the lead.

Innings 7,8

Nothing happens, fans get restless

Inning 9

Mets pitcher gives up insurance runs. Mets score one run in 9th. End up losing by 2.

This season needs to die!

5 Reasons I Hate Charlie Manuel

1. It is just me or does this guy look like Santa without a beard?

2. He probably eats straight lard or possibly pigs feet.

3. I miss the glory days of Larry Bowa. I loved it when the bullpen would blow a big lead and he would go postal.

4. All Manuel ever does it sit on the top step with a “hang dog” look. I dont know what that means but I am sure that he does that look constantly.

5. He shares a locker room with Pat, Chase, Ryan and Jimmy.

GO METS!

Magic Number is 5

The World Needs Our Support. Let’s Go Mets! Woot!

We even need help from Brazilian female soccer fans. They don’t know who David Wright is but who cares. At least they are fired up. Please pray for this team.

Abort Mota! Abort!

The time has come to cut ties with Mota. Whether that means outright releasing him or just leaving him off the playoff roster, I don’t know. We need to nip this thing in the bud asap. He probably will get his stuff back in time for the playoffs only to screw us during a pressure situation. The bottom line is he needs the roids back. On roids, Mota was a genius. Off the drugs, he has about as much a chance of succeeding as HBO’s John from Cincinnati.

On a positive note though, great game last night. The Mets appear to have their “fight” back.

Phils

Tonight’s game is pretty much meaningless and probably a loss to that jerk off Smoltz. We need to look forward to the upcoming series against the Phillies. Whatever happens, the Mets cannot get swept. Even winning one game is cool. A sweep would put those jerks right back in it and give them an enormus confidence boost. Hopefully, Willie knows this and will have the team play more with a sense of urgency than they did in Philly.

BTW: I almost hate Chase Utley as much as Larry Jones and Pat Burrell.

Greetings Mets Fans!

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

My name is Tony Cohn and I am from Sacramento, CA. I have been a Mets fan since year 4 of life and have been to about 100 Mets road games. Last year, I achieved my life long dream of going to Shea and I saw game one of the NLDS.

Being a Mets fan in California used to be an uncommon thing. However, as the team has gotten better, the number of fellow Mets fans out here has increased exponentially. In fact, I have seen the number of visiting Mets fans basically double in the last few years when I go to LA, AZ or SF.

At Mets away games, I have mastered the art of being a visiting fan. When the Mets hit a home run, I usually dont get too hyped unless they have won the game. Even then, I enjoy messing with the home fans with such quotes as, “Weird, he doesn’t usually hit home runs,” or “I didn’t think that ball was going to get out of here.” I try to act very passive aggressive and get subtle digs in when I can. Most games I wear a Robin Ventura jersey that I bought off eBay.

This blog is designed to give readers a non-NY perspective on the Mets. I hope to share the West Coast’s opinion of the Mets as well as my opinion on the team I love.

Enjoy!
