New York Mets 2011 Banter - Page 20 - Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum

Mets piss one away last night...and looks like they are following the same page this evening.

:-)

With his team Down 7-0, Carlos Beltran hits a 3 run homer,
drives in 4 total including what turned out to be the game winner, gets 2 hits, walks, and scores 2 runs.

He's awful, I don't know why the Mets haven't traded him yet :-)

Mets pull one out!! :-) :-) Dom...Beltran still sucks (in my book)...and Pelfrey too!! :-)

Mets biggest comeback in nearly 11 years!!

:-)

It's a sin that a Yankee fan has to be the first one in here to wish the best for Gary Carter!

Prayers sent for the Kid

You are absolutely right Dom. I've said my three Hail Marys. :-)

Thoughts and prayers to Gary and his family.

Pelf is the new Ollie!

Beltran is damaged goods who is playing for a new contract. It's a business but he has been a productive player overall for the Mets. Compare that with Jason Bay, I rest my case.

Sad to hear about the Kid! My prayers are with him.

When Beltran was a free agent, every Met fan, including myself wanted him. Besides the injuries the last couple of years, he's been a decent player. You can't predict injuries and if he never got them and put up numbers that he usually did no one would be *****ing, including me. But for an owner to come out and say that about his players is completely wrong. Yes steinbrener did it but Wilpon is no steinbrener. If he saw something wrong, he went out and fixed it. He didn't care what the cost was, he's in new York and wld put out a competitive team. Do us all a favor Fred and SELL THE TEAM...., sorry for rant....

As for the Mets,the Wilpons are an utter joke. I'm tempted to just give up on the mets until these utter farce of an ownership team is forced to sell them.

I take it you guys were not fans of the article on Wilpon in last weeks Sports Illustrated.:-)

Mets blow another one tonight...and guess which inning???

You got it...the 8th!!!

:-)

What the hell did Jason Bay do when he left Pittsburgh & Boston??? I swear that he left all his hitting talent and everything he knew about hitting there because he hasn't hit SQUAT since he came to my beloved Mets.

:-)

Great game by Dickey tonight :-)

Dickey looked real goodlast night...Reyes looked better. :-) :-)

Mets need a long sustained losing streak to get this thread fun again...just sayin'....

Isn't this about the time of year when Reyes pulls his hammy?

:-) :-)

Seems as if Lenny Dykstra is doing HIS part to put the Mets on the back page of the Post. :-)

Now let's stop all that!!

:-)

Mets use their #1 pick (13th overall) to take OF Brandon Nimmo. WTF??? Can someone please remind them that we need PITCHING!!!! :-) :-) :-): :-)

I'm ok with them taking a position player with first pick, the only thing I don't like is he's in high school and might have wasted pick if the Cheapons don't sign him by low balling him. They say that this years draft was deep in pitching and they picked one at 43 :-)

Nice win against the RED HOT AT HOME Brewers last night. Might be looking to crawl our way into third place soon. :-)
