Our plain Jane of a baseball team returned home and the fish wraps are full of analysis that this an other Mets blogs have already stated about a team that spins it’s wheels in mediocrity and with out passion. No need to rehash the scenario over again.
The D’Backs come to town limping a bit after going 2-5(0-3 @ Milwaukee, 2-2@Pittsburgh) so far on their road trip but they still have one of the best pitching staffs in the NL but the Mets have told us that once the weather heats up so will the bats and now that it’s hotter than Tila Tequila’s crotch, maybe will see the Whoopin’ Sticks break out in this series.
Ryan Church has finally been put on the 15 day DL in another example of cluelessness that is the New York Mets organization. In all likelihood the Mets will recall Robinson Cancel because you can never have enough lousy catchers on your major league roster.
Ike Davis can’t get to Shea fast enough. Last night before the
Sunday is Fathers Day and what do you get for the Big Papi in your life? A few suggestions:
Dana Brand has written THE book about us, METS FANS and it should be mandatory in any Mets fans library
Over at Gary, Keith and Ron they have unveiled a new addition to their t-shirt line and Keith Hernandez “17” with a Mex trademark ‘stache attached to it. A must for any Mets fans summer wardrobe.
And of course you can get Daddy Mets fan the quintessential documentary on Mets fandom, Mathematically Alive: A Story of Fandom on DVD.
So there you go shop early and shop often for Pop.

Yes, the Mets are a mediocre team. In a fantasy world Duque, Pedro, Alou, Delgado are all playing up to the memories Omar had of them. But without these guys producing and only 2 good starters the results have been predictable. Still, the ability to hit in the clutch would cover up most of the problems that the Mets have.
I am very ready for bringing in young-uns to play with the Mets. Hell, let em rotate into Shea. We can watch the “stars of tomorrow” instead of the washouts of today. Hard to fault Omar for wanting to win now and trading young talent for established players, but Think about an outfield of Milledge, Gomez, etc. Not mature, but entertaining, no?

Whatever happened to FMart? I see he’s still in AA, hitting around .280. When do we expect him to make an impact at MLB level?
