IGT 9/10/10 PHI @ NYM: Mets' America-Hating Continues

[G-Fafif]

If they didn't hate America, why would they be trying to beat a team representing the city where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were drawn up? At least that's what Jeff Wilpon whispered to Dave Lennon.

We're assuming they'll be trying to beat them: Mejia versus Halladay. First Labor Day, then Rosh Hashanah...sure are a lot of Halladays this week.

I hope it's not mandatory that Ollie and Luis show up for this team event either.

[metirish]

Pastor Terry Jones will be throwing out the first pitch at hate filled Citi Field .

[G-Fafif]

And if the Mets didn't hate America, why did they cancel sunglasses day? Clearly they knew fans would need the shades to cut down on the glare from all the Koran-burning good Americans like Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino and Jayson Werth will be doing.

Geez, the Mets gotta lead the league in being called out a strikes. Are they too passive or do they have a problem with pitch recognition?

[ashie62]

Is there anybody out there? Jenry Jenry Jenry

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Beltran goes KABOOM -- and we give it all right back and then some.

[ashie62]

Jenry gets his tits ripped off. Ryan Howard goes yard. 6-3 America. Back to College Football.

[Guest Kong76]

I meant to post this earlier ... that Mejia belly flopper
earlier was funny, classic, and down right scary all at
the same time.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Can't even spoil properly, can we?

[Guest Kong76]

Oh, they spoiled back in 2007 ... time to throw out the whole fridge.

[Frayed Knot]

Get Green out of there and bring in someone with better control ... like Ollie.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Christ, if you're going to plunk someone... does it have to be OilSpill?

[Guest Kong76]

I'll wash this down with a bottle of cognac!!

Duda .040 That's hard to do.

Make that .038

[Guest Kong76]

Ed Hearn's steak throwing fight story was also amusing. Keith claimed
not remembering, I think Ron mumbled he hoped he wasn't called
to testify.

[ashie62]

Ron did. he has spoken before on air how some things that got out in 1986 embarrased his family.

[Gwreck]

A really craptacular performance by Meija there. The 3-2 single to Valdez was just an absolute killer, particularly after his teammates scored him 3 runs just the half-inning prior. Great company for the later innings as Second Spitter and Luncbucket joined the Gwreck party in some nice seats the Mets gave us for free...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

i'd add more but my cat is licking my arm. weird.
