They are forcing me to grow to like the orange brim hats much too fast. I resent this.

[ashie62]

Laffey is out of the first..

Could be worse...look at the Marlins...

When I see the orange brims I get a craving for a creamsicle.

Man, I love creamsicles. Fav ice cream of the stick variety. I don't love these hats yet. So I resent you saying that

If the Mets are above .500 at the end of April I will embrace these caps. If not, I may have buy one and Pedro Borbon it.

[Zvon]

Nice throw Recker! Great throw! Did not think he had a chance to get him.

[ashie62]

That run is on Tejada..horrid throw

[Zvon]

Yea, an accurate throw could have had him, bang bang. Only one run, could have and should have been worse. Recker cutting down that guy at 2nd was big.

[Zvon]

sheepshit. Hope we get 5 out of Laffey.

[ashie62]

I cannot understand Kiner today..at all...

I'd like to nominate Colin McHugh for this turn in the rotation next time around..

[Zvon]

Not one of his better days. Still, just hearing his voice is a good thing.

[Guest themetfairy]

At least the rookie isn't going to throw a perfecto against us.

[Zvon]

Yep, that was a strike Capt.
He says something as he walks away. Another way to do it Ike.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I know Laffey is just keeping the rotation spot warm for Wheeler, but he's not been impressive. Of course, our offense isn't helping him much.

[ashie62]

We have Laffey & Recker today..it could have been

Wheeler & D'Arnaud...

Screw service time..

[Zvon]

Great job by Burke!

I've come to accept this as a matter of course. Can't say that I agree, but I understand.

You're right and I understand it is the course but it is truly aggravating...

Any Fernandez is playing the role of one of those Rookie starters that the Mets struggle with.

TORCH HIM NOW!

Exactly. Some no name arm comes in and we look like we don't have a clue. We got to get him outta the box.

[Zvon]

Ya know, the booth even brought up how Davey Johnson was told Doc Gooden needed another minor league season and Davey said: "[u:2f3bjp4z]I want him now[/u:2f3bjp4z]". These days I don't think Gooden gets the call up in that same exact situation that Johnson was in. It is aggravating from a fans standpoint.

We score. Yay. I like our catchers so far. I will be surprised if that lasts long.

[Zvon]

And I've been a lil rough on Buck. I don't know how involved he is but his pitch calling has to get a nod from me. Even tho he is really hot, I'm okay with him sittin out. Its not like hes gonna bat over .400 all season or lead the league in RBIs. And Recker don't suck. With Trav on the way, I like our catching situation.


OO, good, Fernandez is done.

[Frayed Knot]

If Burke can get through this half-inning (6th) and Stanton without damage, and with the kid pitcher outta there for Miami, I'll start feeling OK about the chances for a comeback in this game.

[Zvon]

GJ Burke. You will not go thirsty!

Yes, the team themselves should be all fired up that Fernandez is out and jump all over whoever they put on that mound. Show some spirit!

[Zvon]

Another impressive shot by Muffy!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Didn't it take Murph until, like, June to get two homers last season?

And in the same game IIRC.

[Zvon]

OO, huge tag up by the Capt.
