I've heard some complaints that my posts have tended to be negative.  Certainly, there's some truth to that.  So, I decided to try my hand at a more positive post to show I'm not above some constructive criticism.

Admit it...I was right

I don't want to brag or anything BUT...I seem to remember my post on the Mets needing some fire, dare I say, some edge was met with much disdain and ridicule. 

Obviously, Omar was listenting to me because, just a few more miserable games after my post, he called out the team for not playing with what exactly?  Some "edge" I believe...how interesting!  You guys recall him doing that right?

And suddenly, the Mets are on a little bit of a roll.  Again...how interesting!  4 straight wins I believe. 

So, I'm full of positivity as you can see.  The team is playing well.  Johan is ridonculous, my man Wright is leaving April behind, and K-Rod is doing what we brought him here to do.    And clearly, it's thanks to my timely and spot on post.

OKAY! OKAY!  CALM DOWN EVERYONE! 

I'm just having some fun.  I know it's not just because of my post...

I apologize for the diatribe...

Guys, I haven't posted in a long, long time to this site.  Mostly because it's been hard to get back into caring for our team.  Of course I care, but I'm talking about really caring...I've been too crushed the last few years by this team so, I backed off for the sake of not having an anurism because we gagged it up again.

But, inevitably, I always come back.  It's the Mets for crying out loud.  It's like asking a LiLo to stay away from blow, or asking Keith to shave his moustache...not gonna happen!

Anyway, the point I want to make, why I decided to finally post again, is because I'm very worried about this team.  It's 13 games in, but everything just feels exactly the same doesn't it?  Sure, the bullpen is vastly improved but, this team still lacks heart, guts, onions, fire, passion, heuvos, cohones, sack, confidence, the will to win at all costs.  Do you get what I'm trying to say?  NOBODY ON THIS TEAM HAS A BIG FRIGGIN' SET OF BALLS!  Nobody is willing to exact their will to win over another team.  Nobody holds anyone accountable in the locker room, or is willing to get in anyone's face and DEMAND that they do whatever it takes to win!  This is New York for God's sake...we want players with a passion for playing the game! 

Case in point...last night's game...8th inning...play at the plate and Beltran doesn't slide.  And he has the nerve to say he didn't slide because he was "too close to home"  Are you kidding me?  How ri-goddamn-diculous is that?!?!?!! 

I'm just going to throw a question out there.  What do you guys think any of the big 4 players in Philly would have done there?  Utley, Howard, Victorino, Rollins.  Whatever answer you may have, slide, hook-slide, head-first slide sneaking the arm in, running over the catcher...whatever your answer is...I'm sure there would be something in common with all of them.  Those guys would have made the effort...and I'm pretty sure they would've scored. 

Do you see the difference?  Utley vs. Wright...Howard vs. Delgado...Victorino vs. Beltran...Rollins vs. Reyes.  Do you see the difference?

To me gang, I think it's pretty obvious why our team will be the same joke it has been the last few years.  And I'm pretty sure I know who's going to take the NL East...the guys who bring the balls to the park every...single...day.

I'm of the opinion that, even though we've been playing awful baseball, we'll manage to turn things around and hang on to the division.

OK...that's it for me boys.  After last night's loss to Peavy and the Padres (a game where Brian Lawrence pitched well enough to keep us in the game), I have lost all faith and hope in Mota, and more sadly Delgado.  I just threw Green into the subject line because he's been hopless all season...and LoDuca could probably be on this list to but I just like the guy, he's blue-collar.

WTF is wrong with our beloved Mets this year?  Just about every time you think they've had a turning point game, and going to start hitting their stride, they seem to inevitably stub their toe.

As evidenced by his attrocious "attempt" to make a diving catch, Green is just a horrible fielder.

Ok, we are well in to SNY's inagural season and for the most part I have been pretty happy with the channel.

This is going to haunt us for his entire career, straight from the Elias Sports Bureau.  It's very depressing.

After an adventurous weekend series with the Yankees that should have been a sweep, Willie summed things up great.

I was enjoying the comments left on the game thread after Zambrano's latest debacle. Nothing like watching a guy get 2 outs on six pitches, have the pitcher up, and then proceed to load the bases and give up a granny!
