How are you? Have you been alright?

Gotta give it to Michael Kay. Even though 'e's a bleedin' Yankees homer, I appreciate the excitement 'e showed for the Mets at the end of the game.

06/08/24 St. Lucie Mets placed RHP Zebulon Vermillion on the full-season injured list.

I'm watchin' the broadcast of the game now. Blimey, Tim Kurkjian's gotta stick to anythin' that ain't involvin' speakin'. 'Is voice is so bleedin' pubescent, it's proper annoyin'.

Anderson is incorrect. Go back a couple decades, think it over while perhaps enjoying an almond. If you can't figure it out, send me the bill. Minaya is correct, however. I forgot how many Mets fans despised Minaya back in the day—that poem was written ~12 years ago. It seems the stances of a lot of people have softened over the years.

The first major league start by a legend I pitched in relief as it was my only Mets win It was also my 50th and last win of my career Let go before this season ended I felt was a sin This Mets win pitching in relief was my Mets shining moment For the occasion the Mets should have made a commemorative pin Who am I? --originally posted by "Joe Rigatoni" Running tally of correct guessers: Johnny Lunchbucket: 101 Edgy MD: 87 stevejrogers: 62 batmagadanleadoff: 26 DocTee: 9 metsmarathon: 9 Benjamin Grimm: 5 MFS62: 4 Marshmallowmilkshake: 1 The Hot Corner: 1

Our "best" reliever in May had a 6.08 ERA. Oh em gee.

Brogna, Jones and Blair are all correct! Well done. Marlon Anderson is incorrect for #5, however. The guy in question was briefly a Met in 1980. And with that, Johnny Lunchbucket is the first to 100 correct guesses! Good job! New questions have been added, with hints for the rest. 1.

I was the savior according to Wilpon; My IQ was the same as that of a moron. Before I was handed the reigns to this franchise; I was responsible for leading the 'Spos to their demise. Sizemore and Phillips and of course there was Cliff Lee - For Bartolo Colon, who exited swiftly. I let Vladimir go getting nil in exchange; Then Fred said to Jeff, "It is time for a change." We need a GM with nary a clue, and the same Baseball savvy as that of a shoe. Got one we did, much to Mets fans' dismay; he continues to haunt us, to this very day. --originally posted by "Gr8Beldini" 4.

Jones and Berenyi are correct! Well done. Two new questions have been added. 1. I played for seven MLB teams in my career With the last one I was a Met Over a year off before the Mets for half a year Then no more in the Majors would I get Which Met am I? --originally posted by "milladrive" 2. I did not play a game with the NYM... but for my first contract I did sign with them. And when I was through, much to their great dismay... 8 Gold Gloves I won; 2 All Star games I did play. 7 teams that I played they went to the playoffs; and my first 3 World Series, I did not get a day off. I played in 2 more but not as a starter Which made letting me go just a little bit harder. Who am I? --originally posted by "Gr8Beldini" 3.

That was a top call. I'd love to 'ear that bloke and Peter Moylan in the booth callin' games.

I twice won 20 games with the Pads My junk had batters exclaiming “Ye gods!” In the year of the strike I joined New York The whole world was ready to stick in the fork In May '82 I'd won six and lost two People were saying, “He isn't quite through” The rest of the season I only won one And then after that, I really was done Who am I? --originally posted by "VIBaseball" 3.

Well, that was a right laugh. See you fellas later!

Even the wins feel proper dodgy.

This team's a bleedin' joke. Just tear it down, tear it apart. Trade the lot and start fresh. Clearly these blokes 'ave no real passion for winnin'. If they did, they'd be tryin' to earn their paychecks.

Hahaha, bases loaded. They deserve to lose, they do. Their wins are bleedin' unearned. They suck and deserve to perform like people who suck and just don't seem to give a monkey's, do they? 'Cause clearly they really just don't give a toss, it seems. They're still gettin' their twenty million quid whether they're a hundred and twenty to forty-two or forty-two to a hundred and twenty.

You mean they 'ad Smith this bleedin' whole time and decided to use GARRETT instead? See, Mendoza's a right complete numpty.

Now 'arper's prob'ly gonna bash a game-winnin' homer.

Two on, one out. Should've traded 'im when 'e 'ad some bleedin' value and before 'e started suckin'... before the real Garrett decided to rear 'is ugly mug, that is.

'E's already got a geezer on with one out. 'Is luck's run out ages ago. Time for the Mets to stop tryin' to recapture what they once 'ad and what 'e once was. It was just a lucky streak, nothin' more.

Oh, it's Garrett closin'? Gag me with a spoon.
