If I were to play you it would be somewhat more subtle than going against everything you stand for. Many here think you are insane. I do not have that opinion. There is certainly a method to your madness :) No it was not me. If I were to play you it would be somewhat more subtle than going against everything you stand for.

Looking at the otherposts the little metsies are not enjoying the off day. so I'll leave them get angrier and angrier. I think we have a game against those mean Pittsburghers who humiliated the metsies and who humiliated the hockey guys as well.... I don't know anything about hockey but I think we have a team almost as bad as the metsies are... Are there any hockey fans around here??? dave are you sure you aren't me?

No it was not me who was you. In fact I rather appreciate you. You break up the mood of this place. I want to see Jose bunt to get on base. Since he is not finding the ball drag it down third and run to first. Then when on go to second. He is not doing that.

The Mets big mistake that year was not firing Bobby during the season instead of waiting till after it was over. And I am one of the biggest Bobby supporters ever. Look I know Willie does not hit pitch or field. But to steal someone else's immortal quote. "Sometimes you need to kill a villager to save the village." I also don't buy the line that Omar built this team. Good managers know how to adapt to things. Willie has not changed at all from 2005. He just keeps trying to jam square pegs into round holes. I am not even sure firing Willie will work, doing nothing may also work. Only time will tell. Every day this team starts to remind me of the 2002 team.

This d-back team is allot better this year. On the other hand this met team is not as good as the team in 2006. I wouldn't get your hopes up that this met team will have a winning record on this west coast trip. This team has shown no heart or passion. This met team looks uninspired. The d-backs organization has built a team the correct way. The d-backs could be building a team that will be the class of the national league for a while. ClM,

Then they went on a west coast swing against the Dodgers and DBs and they had a great trip. If memory serves they only lost one game and then they were on their way. Also, they have been strong against the DBs for a while. Let's see if they get away from Shea for a while if that helps them. HelloFromDC - You are just misunderstood on this blog. Number one you make me laugh (I know I've said it before) and B. You are just trying to lighten things up, I believe, not rub our nose in it. I mean you are a Nats fan and you are having fun.
