Why does the MFYS crowd do the "roll call" chant? Do they feel the need for the players to acknowledge them?

Excellent review. Klapisch wrote: Good guys like Carter deserve better. So all the bad guys deserve to get sick? This column reads as is Klapisch had an early deadline for Saturday night, wanted to say something nice about Carter, and then ran out of any interesting after 100 words so he rambled for way too long. Klapisch is the Charles Krauthammer of New York area sports columnists.

I'm very happy not to have Thole in the lineup. Sadly, there's no alternative that's any better.

Screw it. It was fun starting the IGTs for the last 3 games. F the MFYs. F Joe Buck. F FOX. Go Mets. Looking forward to 1:10 tomorrow.

Gift run--Jeter struck out but the umps were distracted by his aura.

AdamRubinESPN Adam Rubin Swoboda and DiLauro lose franchise rookie records tonight. Turner with 7 straight games with RBI. Beato 18.2 IP without ER to open career.

Traded? They said the MFYs might "pick up" Beltran. As if it'll be easy for the MFYs to get him.

What to do about Thole? He can't hit but I guess they'll be patient as there isn't a good alternative at AAA.

Since April 21, the Mets have the fourth-best record in the majors, behind only the Braves, Red Sox and Cardinals. This run won�t change the Mets� 2011 profile � they�re not playoff-bound � but it�s nevertheless erased some of the pre-existing notions about Terry Collins and life without some of their stars. F*** you. The first sentence is fine but then he returns to his Met-hating norm by telling us, without qualification, that the Mets will not make the playoffs. How does he know? I bet he wouldn't have guessed that the Mets wouldn't be at .500, have the 4th best record since April 21, or even have beaten his MFYs last night. http://www.northjersey.com/sports/pro_sports/baseball/mets/052111_Klapisch_RA_Dickey_leads_Mets_back_to_respectability.html

How awesome was the Mets bullpen tonight? And RA, too, stepping up big time in response to my crushing him last week.

As heard from someone on the Mets side on Chip Hale's mic after the game, "F*** YEAH!"

What the hell is wrong with Cohen? He just brought up Castillo again. Like we've forgotten.

Guys! just gave us the most inane, worthless, report of his career.

G-Fafif has a few gems in there. http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23justinturnerfacts

New rule: if there's ground rule double with 2 outs, a runner on 1st can score.

That play from Reyes makes me shout like Tito Puente, Jr.: "Juepa!"

Many thanks to the Mets announcers for reliving the 2000 World Series. I expect this tomorrow night from FOX but not from the Mets crew. And then Cohen brings up Castillo. Is this YES? STFU.

Ceetar--good points. I see what you're saying although I'm not convinced. I appreciate the discussion.

Is this the 3d time already that they've plugged the CF soccer game?

Ceetar--I understand your point but who would you rather the Mets play tonight, the Orioles or the MFYs? Not from a view of "this is exciting" but from the perspective of making the playoffs?

Tejada should have tagged Jeter harder.

Great job, MGIM. "Mrs. O'Connor." Liza Minnelli. Bay's Sac Fly. Awesome.

I'm looking forward to these 3 games, Faith & Fear in Flushing summed up my feelings here: http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2011/05/20/posadenfreude-friday/ but from a competitive stand point, it's not equitable. The usually annoying Jayson Stark has these points in his latest column: � Because they're stuck with life in Subway Series perpetuity, the Mets get to play the Yankees six times. And how many times will all the other NL East teams play the Yankees this season? That would be none. � Finally, here's a glitch that sums up the problem, even though it doesn't figure to wind up determining the fate of the NL East race. If there's supposed to be some level of division-by-division symmetry to this schedule, how do we explain this: The Mets will play 15 interleague games against teams currently .500 or better (plus three against the Angels, who are just a game under .500). The Nationals could play none. How does THAT happen? If the Mets are supposed to contend for a playoff spot, or at least finish higher than the Nationals, interleague play stinks.
