Yeah, it allowed me to continue my laughter from when the Mets were lighting up a guy who was specifically brought in because he's so "dominant" against us.

How long is Wagner out?

JS19 · 07-23-2008, 12:23 PM

day to day, but you never really know when it comes to these arm problems. So besides Wagner, they could already use some bullpen help, as well as an OF, so i think it's pretty safe to say Martinez is on his way out, I just hop Omar can trick somebody that he is worth more than he is and get the most out of him.

Lathum · 07-23-2008, 08:45 PM

looks like the Mets we know and love are back.

Myers is walking the park and they have 3 runs and guys up there hacking at the first pitch.

Lathum · 07-23-2008, 09:00 PM

and Reyes bails Maine out!!

General Mike · 07-31-2008, 01:54 PM

Do something Omar, or you'll be right behind Schoenweis on my list of people to punch in the face.

Logan · 07-31-2008, 02:23 PM

I think they're going to stand pat. With the recent trades made, the team has some top high-end prospects who are close (Martinez, Niese) and some more high-potential guys who could reach that level in a couple years. There is very little in the middle, the kinds of guys you need to acquire a reliever or a spare outfielder. All those guys are on Minnesota, Florida, etc now. I don't believe Bay is worth both Martinez and Niese, and don't think the organization should be stripped of its top talent to get him. And no way in hell am I giving up either of those guys for Raul Ibanez.

The play seems to be to get Church back healthy and hope Tatis can continue to produce. By waiting into August, there's a chance we could grab someone either off waivers or once they clear.

Carlos Beltran's early call: Mets are the team to beat

By ADAM RUBIN
daily news sports writer

Saturday, February 16th 2008, 6:02 PM PORT ST. LUCIE - The most soft-spoken Met made the biggest noise at camp so far with a pronouncement that should make him public enemy No. 1 in Philadelphia, leapfrogging Terrell Owens and J.D. Drew.

After revealing that he'll likely miss the beginning of the Grapefruit League season because of surgery to clean both knees, and just a minute after Beltran insisted he's going to remain his quiet self, Beltran said in response to a harmless inquiry about Johan Santana's addition:

"Let me tell you this: Without Santana, we felt as a team we have a chance to win in our division. With him now, I have no doubt that we're going to win in our division. I have no doubt in that.

"We've got what it takes. We have good chemistry as a team. He fits great because he's a great guy. He's one of the best pitchers in the game. Who doesn't want to have him on any ballclub? Without him last year we did good, until the end of the season. So this year, to Jimmy Rollins, we are the team to beat."

Done. Good luck with the wildcard race.

Signed,

Jimmy Rollins and the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies (Back-to-Back NL East Division Champions)

Maybe this is the year you win a playoff game.

Perhaps. At least the Mets have a few extra weeks to decide which free agent to blow $100 million on. Isn't Mo Vaughn still around?

BTW, good luck with Minaya. Looks like he'll be around for awhile. I mean, his sterling record certainly means he should keep his job. "shrug"

Logan · 09-27-2008, 07:01 PM

Considering we just spent $137.5MM on the guy who should win the Cy Young, I'll take our chances.

Thanks for counting us out though.

Hey, I did say good luck with the wildcard race.

Can Johan pitch on one day's rest?

Logan · 09-27-2008, 07:03 PM

Johan has shown he can do anything.

Lathum · 09-27-2008, 07:13 PM

They did. The NL East. That's something, right?

In case you haven't heard, the Met's haven't won that for at least a few years now.

EagleFan · 09-27-2008, 07:43 PM

Mets up 3 1/2 in the NL East on September 10th. I guess blowing a 3 1/2 game lead in 17 days isn't quite the same as a 7 game lead though.

Fans like you are the reason people think all philly fans are clowns. Big deal, they won the NL east.

I really wanted to give the Phillies credit because they were clutch down the stretch, but you make it impossible.

Have fun losing in the first round again

Shouldn't have had a 3.5 game lead then. The bullpen was bad to begin with; the fact that they have a shot at the playoffs after losing Wagner is remarkable.

RedKingGold · 09-27-2008, 09:25 PM

I'll agree with that. I give the Mets a hell of a lot of credit for not packing it in when Manuel was fired, and again when Wagner started playing like shit and got injured, and again when the rest of the world realized that the Mets 08' bullpen was like the Phils 07' bullpen.

RedKingGold · 09-27-2008, 09:26 PM

And, I wouldn't at all be surprised to see the Mets win tomorrow and at least force a playoff. I think Santana's performance gave a lift to the entire team (and why I think the Phils needed to clinch today.

Lathum · 09-27-2008, 09:34 PM

It was Randolph that got fired.

The Mets are going to have to hit tomorrow, I just dont trust Perez in that spot to put up zeros.

Dont forget Maine got hurt which forced the Mets to go with some young inexperienced starters in big spots and Maine showed last year he can pitch in big games.

Logan · 09-27-2008, 10:11 PM

This idea that the Mets can't possibly bring Manuel back if they don't make the playoffs is laughable. They better give him a deal, the team loves him.

Or, that that same defense has been used multiple times in this thread? I guess Mets fans are too busy choking for originality.

Sorry, some of us don't take a lot of pride with hanging a division title banner when you ultimately get nothing from it. But that's what happens when you have a city that doesn't win shit...the little things are huge!

So you are talking shit about Phillies fans when your team last won a championship when you were 3 years old? How many series have they won that you remember? How can you take pride in the Mets titles when you were 3 years old for the most recent, and not even a thought when the first one happened?

What the hell are you talking about? Who's bringing up history besides the phillies guys with last year? Yes...despite me being 3 when they last won a title, I don't take pride in my teams winning anything but a championship, especially when you're a team that can afford to be relevant every year.

Just stop talking. You're giving Mets fans a bad name.

Comey · 09-28-2008, 05:10 PM

To be perfectly honest, I admire the Mets for sticking around as long as they did. They were beat up (Luis Ayala as the closer? Ick.), down for the count...and yet, they continued to answer the bell.

Yeah, they ran out of gas at the end (too many guys nicked up), but it was a damn good run. I definitely have appreciated the rivalry the two teams have been able to rekindle the past few years.

Last year, I was really, really happy that the Mets blew it. This day last year was one of the happiest days of my life. This year, I'm a little sad that they didn't make it (I'd rather have two NL East teams than the frickin Brewers). But, and I'm a little surprised at the Phillies fans coming in here and talking trash, I know better because I know how often Philly ever comes through in these situations.

Granted, the Mets have been no better over the last several years...but if they had made it, I'd have been rooting for a Mets/Phils NLCS, for sure.

All of this, as I'm sure you assume, comes from a Phils fan. I hope they stay good next year, so this rivalry can continue (because, let's be honest...will the other three times have a shot?)

Crapshoot · 09-28-2008, 05:15 PM

Thrilled the Brewers made it over the Mets. Good for the Phillies as well.

nothing. He has been trolling in this thread for a long time. Like you said unless they win a title it doesnt mean shit ( I was 11 when the Mets won so I think I am allowed to say that). It really is pathetic that instead of taking joy in what his team accomplished he takes more joy in the fact the Mets didn't make it, but that is typical of a Philly fan. It is also sad that he has to cling to the little things because even he knows this time next week they may be sitting home also.

COmey put it perfectly, I really am enjoying the rivalry.

I'm not dissapointed the Mets didnt make it because we weren't going anywhere even if we did make it. The way it came down sucks but I am more dissapointed there are no more Mets games to watch until next April. Living in Seattle it was nice to have that little piece of home everyday.

Agreed on all. I have no problem with the Phillies. My brother in law is a fan, one of my best friends is too...I'm happy for them. Plus guys like Utley and Howard are easy to root for, and I'm glad Lidge seems to have come back from his issues of a few years ago.

Jimmy Rollins, on the other hand, is a d-bag, and I think it's hilarious that RKG sweats him so hard when Rollins ripped on the entire fanbase. Actually, it's fitting that one d-bag loves another.

This sums it up and is all that really needs to be said. The thread stayed on topic for over 5 pages and then a douchebag philly fan comes in showing why their fans are widely considered the worst of all the major US sports.

Ignore him. Let him get pissed that no one is responding to his douchebagery and move on.

RedKingGold · 09-28-2008, 10:50 PM

You guys are just too easy.

RedKingGold · 09-28-2008, 10:53 PM

dola

If you actually "read" some of my posts, you'd see that I was actually applauding the Mets for what was a good season in tough situations. They fired their manager and had a bullpen that probably was one of the worst in the major leagues (as an aforementioned Philly fan, I can relate), yet were still in it until the last game.

Truthfully, there were multiple seasons where the Phillies just missed getting in with a game or two out.

But, go ahead and call me a "troll" and say things like "douchebag Philly fans, come back when you win something" multiple times.

We'll see you next year.

Like I said originally, I'm one of the few who has no problem with the Phillies winning (or Phillies fans in general, my issue was always RKG threadcrapping here). In fact, I sent my brother in law a congratulatory text saying how happy I was for him, and he responded with "you, your brother, and your dad all said the same thing...to have family like that means more to me than the phils winning"...I mean, come on...how can you not be cool with it?

Logan Head Coach Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: NYC	Like I said originally, I'm one of the few who has no problem with the Phillies winning (or Phillies fans in general, my issue was always RKG threadcrapping here). In fact, I sent my brother in law a congratulatory text saying how happy I was for him, and he responded with "you, your brother, and your dad all said the same thing...to have family like that means more to me than the phils winning"...I mean, come on...how can you not be cool with it?
