What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Pedro Martinez, who ran out on the World Champion Red Sox five seconds after they won their first world series in a zillion years, pitched four innings today. His record stands at ten wins since June 6, 2006. He pitched a nice four innings, but that’s all someone can expect out of Four Inning Pedro. If Jerry manages the way he did today, all will be well. Four and out.
Mets win eight in a row.
The Magic is Back. Watch It Here. Amazin’
I can’t say I saw him play much, and I didn’t hear him call too many baseball games – but my perception of Bobby Murcer seems to be the same as those who knew him – a genuinely likable man.
Sorry to hear that he has died.
Summary: fun, long lines.

The ‘Roplitans
I may not be a huge Billy Wagner fan, but I do like his willingness to talk bluntly. As reported by Jayson Stark on ESPN.com, Wagner has been very forthcoming on the difference between Willie and Jerry:
“I don’t want to bash Willie, because I liked him,” Billy Wagner said. “But before, it was more of The Yankee Way. It wasn’t The Mets Way. There was no facial hair. You could never have music in the clubhouse. You couldn’t have kids around. Believe it or not, some of us in here actually like kids.”
Hm, I seem to remember a certain blog saying that the Mets didn’t need a Yankee at the helm.
Seven in a row. Nice. Wish I had something other to say other than nice home run, they are playing better and spunkier since Jerry took over….etc. I’m happy…what a turnaround. Very cool. I just have nothing to say about this game other than I am happy they are playing well.
Tomorrow is Four Inning Pedro, so I expect a loss….would be nice to win Sunday night and hit the break 8 of 9.
