you gotta believe in no rain

It doesn't look good in Cincinnati.  I have faith that the baseball gods will intervene and allow The Mets to play and Be Victorious!

Metstache time, You Gotta Believe Baby!

As I mentioned loyal Mets fans are trying to encourage David Wright to grow a mustache in order to propel the Mets into the World Series. In solidarity with this grass roots movement, I will also be growing a mustache.  Photos will be made available as the season goes on.  Opening day on Monday, Mets are on ESPN at 1:10 pm eastern time, take the day off I did!

opening day teaser

As everyone surely knows opening day for 2009 baseball season is coming up.  In the spirit of the American past time I post this link, it is for a blog encouraging Mets third baseman David Wright to grow a mustache.  Or in their words.

Join us in our season-long quest to get David Allen Wright to become the latest and greatest in a long line of mustachioed Mets. He will do it. We will make it so. ‘Cause the mustache has mojo. Ya gotta believe!

I'm all for it if it makes him hit in September.

Update: They even have a theme song.

Catchy No?

K-Rod to Mets

At least there is something good happening.

say goodbye...

palin:alaska still close to russia

This is almost too painful to read I'm glad I didn't watch it.  Of course, not as painful as watching the Mets fall apart, but at least I had Makers Mark to dull the pain.

COURIC: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?

PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land-- boundary that we have with-- Canada. It-- it's funny that a comment like that was-- kind of made to-- cari-- I don't know, you know? Reporters--

COURIC: Mock?

PALIN: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah.

COURIC: Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials.

PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our-- our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia--

COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We-- we do-- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is-- from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to-- to our state. 

deadspin tells us....

Why your NL team can't win.  The most important fact being the Mets magic number is 16.

injury news that actually makes me sad

Wags out for year.  Hopefully, the pen can hold up.

Mets in first, Philly in NY

Tim Kurkjian has post/article about the rebirth of Los D. Check out BMF's then and now post.

So get your popcorn ready, and your brooms as the Mets sweep Philly and take a commanding lead of the NL East.

Ya' gotta believe!

BMF says it all.

mets stay in first

The Mets won saving me from ritual suicide. Good times, good times...

Mets in first place all by their lonesome

Mets win. Phillies lose. Ollie looked dominating. I'm hoping that the starters can keep rolling because the bullpen is highly suspect, you know what I mean.

Mets back in first

The Mets are in first place in the NL East. Thanks to who? FERNANDO!!!1!

BMF puts it best, "Don’t Sleep on Fernando Tatis! He’s on a Mission from God and he Cannot be Stopped!!!"

Watched the game with HaHa while she watched the Sox. Both games were blowouts. and I didn't cheer for the Red Sox. Things are back to normal? Probably not.

Friday Music...etc

i am not a weekend blogger. So until Monday. See Ya. Go Mets!

Can you hear the drums Fernando?

BMF extols the vitues of Tatis.


Swedish rock groups also extol his virtues.



He is Superman, at least for the Mets. His second home run last night was teh awesome.(This is not that home run.)




Here is his post game reaction on SNY.

Mets continue transfer to Nation's capital: Paul LoDuca edition

Now, LoDuca has signed with the Nats. The Mets Meltdown continues... :(


Update: BMF with more bad news.

Lastings we hardly knew ye.(or how I learned to love the worst trade of the year)

WTF? The Mets have traded Lasting Milledge. What are these guys going to do now? BMF is not pleased and at first glance I tend to agree. They had to get pitching for someone of 'Stings value. The Mets seem to be having a front office meltdown of epic proportions.

Mets WTF??!!11!???

I'm with BMF. The Mets are scaring me to death. I can't take this shit I'm old. Please win today.

Ammmazings weekend!!!

The Mets now have the best record in the NL. Yes sir. They took the Cubbies down today and the next two games of the series are on national television saturday and sunday. If you ask me, it looks like a 1986 redux World Series is possible this year. Mets versus the evil bean eatin Red Sox.
