Knuckleball From Hell

If you like my site then you might want to look at this book a friend of mine is publishing. It’s a very funny novel entitled “The Knuckleball From Hell”. The Knuckleball From Hell tells the story of a fictional Mets team that is horrendous and been driven into the ground by its bankrupt owner, while the protagonist is a high school phenom who only wants to pitch for the Mets. Unfortunately, he blows out his arm and his career is seemingly over, until he has a chance encounter with a Professor on the lam from chicken wing eating Department of Homeland Security special agents, enabling the kid to join the Mets with a new pitch – the Knuckleball from Hell.

If you’re a Mets fan, like to laugh or just want to by the book because I told you to you should by this book!!

CaYES

In a game that was all Mets all the way the issue was never in doubt. Except for the back to back jacks in the 8th of Schoenweiss and Wagners brain fart and the fact that Wagner pitched in an almost identical situation last year (up 4 bottom 9 against the Yankees) and blew it. But hey, today they re-cooped and won lockng up the series with the Yankees. This was a great game for any Mets fan because of bunches of reasons.

1) Cano the so-called prospect made 3 errors resulting in 1 run
2) Captain cologne struck-out in arguably the most important AB of the game
3) Glavine got his 295th win
4) The Mets locked up the Shea series
5) The Yankees starter had an ERA of infinity

Lets hope my Maine man can give the Yanks the brrom today. Lets GO METS

No Tricks This Time

Apologies for the late post but I was watching “Wince” Carter throw away the Nets chances at a title run. But from what I heard of the game and what I watched and listened to it sounded like this. First of all the David Blaine look alike Andy Pettite couldn’t do any tricks on the Mets as he let up one first inning run on a single a walk and sac ground ball and sac fly (that’s what I call manufacturing a run!!) And Oliver must have learned some lessons from Feagan because somebody pick-pocketed the Yankees bats yesterday as Perez went 7 and two thirds innings allowing 2 runs on 5 hits. But the hero of the game was Endy Chavez hitting a 2 run bomb in the fifth to put the Mets ahead for good. Today should be the easiest game of the series for the Mets as Rasner takes on Glavine as the Mets try to extend the winning streak to 4 and push their winning percentage to 667 and possibly move to 3.5 games up in the division. Meanwhile pushing the Yankees down to 5 games below 500 and possibly last place and if that happens the Yankees last place track will be up and running. Lets Go Mets!!

1 Out of 3 Makes the Hall of Fame

Jason Vargas struggled today as the Mets somehow beat the Cubbies 6-5. Doing all of this with a starting line up of Chavez, Gotay, Green, Delgado, Franco, Newhan, Castro, Gomez and Vargas. Down 5-1 going into the ninth the Mets rallied which was capped off by Carlos Delgado’s walk off hit. Hopefully Vargas will be better in his next start but even if he isn’t this season the Mets have tried 3 young un-proven starting pitchers in Mike Pelfrey, Jason Vargas and Jorge Sosa and even if Vargas turns out to be a dud 1 out of 3 makes the hall of fame. Now to yesterday’s game that was postponed by a 3 hour 7 minute rain delay and to tell you the truth I had no idea it was on until I was told. But what I did listen to on the radio sounded good as Damian Easley went yard again. Thus giving him 6 homeruns in 64 at bats. Now as the Mets head into the weekend to Battle the 4 train boys I look forward to a 2 out of 3 game series victory as the Yankees continue to stumble. Tomorrow’s game is practically a lock because we have Oliver Perez pitching and they have the David Blaine look a like, (Andy Pettite). Lets GO Mets.

Don't Blame It On The Maine

On a night where the Mets had a chance to secure their lead in the N.L East for the first time in a blue moon they did the exact opposite. Showing very few good signs. A bull-penn that last year was one of the best in the bigs managed to give up 7 runs in only 4 innings, including Schoeneweis’ 5 runs in .2 innings giving him a ERA for today of 67.5 and ballooning his season ERA to 5.63. Ambi Burgos came back up today and didn’t miss a beat going two innings and only allowing one run not to mention only walking one batter. I can’t believe I’m typing this but what a game by Shawn Green, going 2 for 3 with a double and a bomb. But tomorrow should be an easy one as Keyzer Sosa (Jorge Sosa for those of you who haven’t seen the Usual Suspects) takes on Rich Hill.

The Tides They are a Turnin'

Tides are turning. In a game where the Mets trailed nearly the whole way the one man who has been struggling on their team, Carlos Delgado came through with a 2 out bases loaded walk to bring in Jose Reyes in the form of the winning run. Also the Braves lost giving the Mets sole possession of first place in the N.L East. Hopefully the Mets will keep the streak alive (the Mets have won 8 out of 11 and 5 of 6) tomorrow as Cy Maine sorry John Maine takes on Carlos Zambrano. Lets Go Mets

We should use pink bats every game!

Oliver Perez turned in a dominant performance as the Mets took the rubber game of the series from the Brewers. Meaning that the Mets have not lost a series all year to a team not named the Atlanta Braves. Also Carlos Gomez made his first start and went 2 for 4 with 2 runs and a stolen base. His fielding was also rock solid. However, his one diving catch was overrated because of the four steps back he first took on the ball. But he made the play and that is what matters. Also this was the first game I have gone to of the season and the Mets dominated (So if any rich Mets fan wants to buy me season tickets in hopes that the Mets will win every game I’m at please feel free to email me). Tomorrow we have a Marquis match up as the 4-1 Tom Glavine goes up against the 5-1 Jason Marquis. Lets Go Mets.
