Mets choke, or not, bullpen, ur mom etc
The Mets have lost tonight and the Brew Crew has won. Ironically,that is better for the Mets("Should we put on the runway lights?? Kramer: "No, that's just what they're expecting us to do!" (Airplane humor) Don't you see? Chokers hate to be ahead in any race. If they are ahead, there is SO much more pressure on them and the team that is behind has no pressure. Clever strategy by the Mets.....hmmmmm.
I would put a really funny picture from (Airplane) but I'm too pooped, ok?? Ok, beer.........blahhhhhhhh get off me!

The Mets did not choke in 2008
I bet my son a week ago that the Mets would not make the playoffs. I said, "My five bucks against your 1 buck that they will not..." Up until last night, I believed that they would not make it. Last year, the offense choked because it was so great all yr. and failed down the stretch. This yr. the offense, most of the same players, produced, sometimes poorly, but they produced, sometimes bigtime! It is so hard for one part of the team to make up for the shitty part of the "other" team. Case in point: Giants. The Giants won the Superbowl (tm) by their defense. Their defense was SO dominant that they made up for Eli's average shit (that's another blog).
I do not look at this yr. as a "choke job", because the Mets did not have a good bullpen. It is NOT on the offensive players. Clearly, there are some who are "choking" in the bullpen, namely: Heilmann Heilman. I feel very sorry for him as he has great stuff, but he looks so scared out there. The other pitchers just suck, except for Joe Smith, who really cares.
It's like bringing a car to the inspection station and you are hoping to God that he doesn't notice that your emergency brake doesn't work and your turn signals, etc., the Mets have so many holes, but so many opportunities for "miracle greatness".
This group is SO beat up mentally. I am not upset if they don't make it. I love them all. Even Delgado, who I bashed so bad, who has now been great. Tomorrow's another game to try to get back into contention.

You can't blame Jon Niese.
This poor guy comes into a game where he has to be the savior for this team which is so scared of not losing and so tight. Some of the stupid Met fans are blaming him for this loss. The Mets were a boat with many holes (count how many guys in the bullpen who suck and that is the number of holes, however, Aaron Heilmann has the BIGGEST hole (even though I really feel sorry for him because he is a nice guy who is not arrogant and fully knows how much he is sucking. He is the Doug Zisk of our day).
It is time for the violinests to play "Nearer my God to Thee", because Leonardo Decaprio is drowning and we as Mets fans must accept the inevitable truth that this team is "dead in the water", much like the Titanic.
I know, the pain of last yr. is so real. This yr. is less painful because at least the chokers (Reyes, Beltran, Delgado, Wright) have a legitimate gripe. The bullpen is WAY worse than last yr.
It's tough when the hitters step up and know that even if they are leading by 4 runs, it's not safe. It is hard to be a Mets fan. But I wore my hat when they lost 103 games because I love my team and stick by them. I "Gotta Believe"!, as Tug said, but it's hard when the players don't, or don't have the talent (uh....bullpen).

The Mets will repeat 2007 but it will be easier
It's almost like a scary movie. You see the stars of the movie, you get to know them, and like them. You root for them. You think, "this guy (girl) is so nice and so sweet, there is no way Jason could kill them." So you watch the movie. When that "guy" and that"girl" are killed you are like, "NO WAY!!!! THEY CAN'T BE DEAD!!!" That's how it is being a Mets fan. You see the best hitter coming up (David Wright), you're thinking"this game is over, he's going to hit a home run or a double or something". Next thing you know, here's Jason running out on the field, with his hockey mask, but the only thing is, Jason is not doing the stabbing, it's David Wright HIMSELF doing Harikiry on the the field, stabbing himself to death after sucking at the plate!!!!!!!!
Carlos Delgado can kiss my ass as far as MVP!!!! to change the subject............. He is an amphibian piece of shit!!!!!!!! If it wasn't for his shitty fielding ALL of the year and his shitty batting for the first half of the yr the Mets would be in first place. He is a big load of shit that is dragging down this team. Granted, he is an incredible home run hitter and is loaded with talent, but when it comes to crunch time, he SUCKS!!!!!!
I love David Wright. In the regular season. He needs to grow a pair and get an injection of testosterone. Not only to hit in the clutch, but to change his voice so he doesn't sound like a girl in post game interviews. I wouldn't mind that, but he sounds like the faggot Willie Randolph when he talks about a "bump in the road". YOU SUCKED!! ITS NOT A BUMP!!!!! David Wright needs to say like Manuel, " It was a bad game............"
I am sick of the pussy attitude of these Mets and Jerry better break some heads................
I will not watch another game until they reach the playoffs.......................if they do.....
they cannot win without Tatis, who had the biggest balls on the whole team. the Mets are done. period.

katherine, saying "In the cold light of day everyone knows they are the franchise going forward. And they're both great." talking about DW and JR is "laughable". Keith Hernandez was great. Kirk Gibson was great. Because when the game was on the line, you could count on those guys.
Having said that, the Mets can't part with them. Wright is learning (kinda like the WOPR in War Games) that he has to change. Reyes doesn't appear to get it yet.
Church is not the problem, despite his shitty performance. Keep in mind he just missed tying the game (how many of you thought it had a chance of being a home run when it came off the bat?? be honest!). He has big balls and made some bad (lotta) decisions on pitches, but that was not nerves. Jury is still out on him, IMHO.

well, at least we agree on Ryan - I don't think he ever really got over those concussions and the effects of the time he had to take off. You can't judge him by this season's post injury performance.
I will remind you of something about the great Keith Hernandez - he was great - but in the bottom of the tenth inning of the sixth game of the 86 World Series, when the game was on the line, he made the second out in the inning. Kid, Kevin Mitchell, Ray Knight and Mookie were the clutchsters in that game.

Ryan Howard is kinda like Delgado with more homers and a worse average with incredibly shitty fielding (yes, even worse than Delgado). The Phillies won because of their WILL to win. Their numbers are similar to the Mets. They WANT it. It comes down to the makeup of the players. Davey Johnson didn't say to Carter (who sucked in the Astros series until he manned up and got a winning hit), Kevin Mitchell and Knight to get hits against the Sox in Game 6, THEY wanted it!!!!! The Mets need a player who's got a pair. Lose Delgado.

Well, hi Mary Ellen!!! Where's Johnboy??? I thought you said goodnight already!! You probably can't sleep because you are still thinking about our beloved Mets.
Listen, young lady, Keith made the second out in that tenth inning, hitting it deep (as deep as 17 could hit it) to center/right center field. He didn't choke there, he hit the ball well, so c'mon. Not only that, Ray hit a faggy handle shot just over second, unlike my fave, Keith. Big Balls by Ray, don't get me wrong, but...
Oh, and don't forget game 6 of the Astros series how Keith doubled in the ninth when they were down three!! He da man. give some love please Katherine.

And another thing dammit!!! LISTEN UP METS FANS!!!!
CARLOS DELGADO IS A PHONY!!! Here's a guy that hits home runs but plays like shit in the field. He is the consummate "Emperor wearing no clothes" and everyone kisses his ass because he pulls his head out of his ass to hit monumental shots.
Early in this season he dragged the Mets down with his anemic fielding and shitty hitting. When Manuel came along and sat his lazy ass on the bench, he realizes that he will be embarassed, so he goes on a tear and strokes his own ego by doing stuff that no one can find fault with: fields like half a Keith (which is 10 times better than what he had done prior) and hits home runs at will. This is a man with GREAT home run power, but is retarded. That's it. He's kinda like a car that has great power but when you have to get on the freeway, you push the pedal and.......nuttin. FU Delgado, you suck@!
