Sure I’m happy with the win last night but why do these games have to be so excruciating to watch? Why did Big Pelf have to come out after 6 innings? This is the shit that gets Mets fans boxers in a bunch about Jerry Manuel. This bullpen is running on fumes and Big Pelf was pitching with some big balls last night, he was pounding the living daylights out of the strike zone and getting ground ball outs, sure hitting Alex Cora for Pelf worked out with a single and a RBI but I still would have let Pelf bat there and come out to pitch the 7th. Most Mets fans feel that Pelfrey has now become a front line major league pitcher; it’s too bad Jerry Manuel doesn’t realize it yet.
Looks like Old School Warthern was right about the “hanitual liar” John Maine. The doctor will see you now Mr. Maine
This morning before our game, I was hitting fungos to my infielders. I was wearing my Mets nylon pullover while conducting this task when the following exchange took place:
Parent from the stands: “Oh sure the Mets win a game and you start wearing Mets stuff”
My wife: “ARE YOUR KIDDING” ? MY HUSBAND LIVES AND DIES WITH THAT STUPID TEAM AND HE WEARS METS STUFF JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE DAY WIN OR LOSE”
Me saying to myself : “Man, I hope it starts pouring and we get rained out, I can’t to go home with that woman”
So, did it “rain”?
You have a great wife.
Eagle no it didn’t rain and we lost 8-2 as my starting pitcher pulled a “Maine” and threw 16 balls in a row. I ran out to give him the hook and did a “Manuel” and raised my arm up high as I ran to the mound. I had to because I was bringing in my RF’er to pitch it’s the only way he could see me.
Last night there was a monsoon 8 )
Well, sorry about your team losing, but glad to hear you got your monsoon!
thanks Eagle as you see the loss didn’t dampen my enthusiasim
