It's about putting it together. (They _have_ won four of five). Last season is over. Saying they "Played about .500 since last May" is irrelevant, because June 16th last year doesn't count in the standings this year. They're over .500. They're in first place. And they've shown they are capable of being better than they are.Ceetarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11667811940029102506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36516653.post-44682737187401713592008-05-01T21:35:00.000-04:002008-05-01T21:35:00.000-04:00Honey, you can get a staph infection from riding t...Honey, you can get a staph infection from riding the subway. From touching the wrong thing in the grocery store. From a shopping cart. And a guy who hangs out in locker rooms... it's a wonder that more players don't get staph infections. this one isn't suspicious, although the whole "personal catcher" thing is immature and of course very very funny. very funny.<BR/><BR/>i don't think this arizona roadtrip is going to be the same as the past few years. that guy in the front row with the broom might want to leave it in the garage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36516653.post-27271919737046166932008-05-01T09:41:00.000-04:002008-05-01T09:41:00.000-04:00Coop,You said it yourself, they have been below .5...Coop,<BR/><BR/>You said it yourself, they have been below .500 since last June.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday was no different than any number of games they have played since June. Who cares if the rest of the division stinks too? I am sure the Wilpons didn't spend all this money to be mediocre.<BR/><BR/>The collapse handed the division to the Phillies and they got swept in the first round. Obviously being the best team in a horrible team does not bode well for whomever will emerge from the NL East.<BR/><BR/>The Mets' record wouldn't be so bothersome at all if they were mostly playing crisp baseball. But they are losing ugly, not getting timely hitting, not playing smart, burning their bullpen.<BR/><BR/>Outside of Ryan Church (who coincidentally was not here in 2007) and Billy Wagner, there is nothing else for me to get excited about regarding this team.<BR/><BR/>Almost nothing has changed from last year and that makes it hard to have patience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
