Jerry, Keith, and Mets have something to cheer about...

[Blue Meanie]

Finally have something to be happy about this NY Mets Baseball season...I think Jerry and Keith say it best. Here's a snapshot I took from the game I recorded tonight. It's good to see fellow Mets fans having fun:



One down 3 to go.

[Blue Meanie]

The "Great" Mariano Rivera not so great anymore...Mets win....THEEEEEEEEEE METS WIN!!! (In my best Sterling impersonation) Two down and two to go against the Yankees. BTW, Harvey is the best pitcher in the National League right now. He may be ONLY 5 - 0....but he should be at least 8 - 0. He keeps this up for another month and he will be the starting pitcher in the All Star Game which, oh BTW, is at Citi Field this year. LET'S GO METS!!!

[spacecaps]

The appropriate Sterling quote there would be, "We'll that's baseball Susan." I can't for the life of me understand why great is in quotes? Isn't implying that Rivera isn't great is kind of silly? The guy goes 18 for 18 in saves and gives up his first one tonight and he's not so great anymore? I'm not seeing that. He's having one of his best years ever in an already stellar career and he gives up a bloop double and a base hit which isn't exactly tearing the cover off the ball. I'm not even sure the Mets have ever had a player in Rivera's class or at least one they didn't stupidly trade away at some point. The official slogan for the Mets this year should be, "Hey, at least we have the All-Star Game." because while they're running out their every day team and competing to stay out of last place, the Yankees are sending out guys that no one has ever heard of and fighting for first. Amazing indeed.

Relax...Yankee fans would be sticking it to the Met Fans right now if it was the other way around. It's a fact and you know it. It's just a little ribbing. I've had enough of hearing the Yankee Fans and Francessa today on WFAN. If I was going to hear Francessa say for the 100th time how tonight was not a sell out at Citi...I think I would have lost my F'n mind. That's another reason why I put GREAT in quotes. Cause that's all you hear out of Francessa's mouth. He should be on the Yankee network (880) and NOT WFAN. Unfortunately WFAN listeners are going to have to take his crap for another 4 years. Yankees lost...what could be really embarrassing for the Yankees is if they should, GOD forbid, loose the season series to the LOWLY Mets. You'll hear idiots like Frankie from Massapequa lose their minds if that happens. They'll be calling for Girardi's head. LET'S GO METS!

[spacecaps]

I'm just defending Mariano. The guy is a class act and if he and or jeter don't get a unanimous vote into the Hall, the system is flawed. I don't think the Yankees fans take the subway series as serious as the Mets do. To the Mets it's kind of everything though because there really isn't a whole lot to look forward to. When it first started, it seemed like every game was a must watch but the two three game series a year really took the shine off what was once really cool. I like the idea of 2 Yankee Stadium, two Citifield games a year and that's it for the year. Maybe that will bring a much needed spark back to the games.

I was at the game last night and couldn't believe it wasn't a sell-out (which I think is a combination of the Mets being bad and the Yankees having all but two of their every day starters on the DL) I looked around the field last night and outside of Gardener and Cano, there was't a single every day player in the line up. Ichiro was out there too but he's supposed to be a platoon player and Wells wasn't even supposed to be here this year until all the injuries so the "juice" of the series didn't seem to be there. I also thought the crowd was 2/3 Yankee fans. Tonight was the first time the Yankees lost three games in a row all year. Girardi is doing a fine job right now and if the Yankees make the play-offs with this team, he'll be the manager of the year. I'm one of the biggest Yankee fans out there and I don't know half the guys on the team right now. Granderson, Jeter,Texeria, A-Rod, Cervelli, Youk, Pettite, Pineda, Nunez, and at one point Nova, Hughes and Joba......thats the whole team on DL all at once!

You know it's funny, outside of Francessa, I look at WFAN as a bunch of Met guys talking about the Mets Baseball all the time. Carton, Beningo, Recco, Ackerman, Somers, and Minko all talk about the Mets constantly. I mean they occasionally bring up the Yankees because they can't ignore them but mostly it's all Mets all the time. I really don't listen to them much because I'm usually on 1050 with the Michael Kay show and yes I know he's a Yankee guy but at least he doesn't openly root for the team and La Greca brings some balance. I also like the national guys like Cowherd. Anyone over there is pretty good with the exception of Stephen A Smith(I'd rather listen to static) and the terrible Mike & Mike (I'd rather listen to Smith).

[Blue Meanie]

I completely agree with you on Steven Smith. Definitely THE most annoying guy on radio. As for the guys on the FAN...as much as Beningo is a Mets fan...he and Evan Roberts would be the first to beat the crap out of any of the teams they root for...that's one thing Francessa will NEVER do. To Francessa, if you are not a Yankees Fan, Giants Fan, or Knicks Fan you basically have NO opinion on sports. The most condescending sports talk guy on the radio. Boomer is a "homer" and Carton is just annoying. Carton is the perfect example of how you need to know almost nothing about what you talk about on the radio and still be on the radio. He's "comedy" relief...and I use comedy lightly. He's not even funny.

I respect guys like Jeter and Mariano...and they will definitely be 1st ballot HOFamers. Yankees have got to do a better job in their farm system. They basically have no replacement for Jeter and IMHO ARod is done as a Yankee. Even if he does return from his injury. Also need to start getting some pitching into their system. Might be the end of a 20 year run for the Yanks after this year.

SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP!!!



I think some Yankee Fans are gonna loose their F'n minds.

Yawn......Only Met Fans get excited over a sweep in May....Win a World Championship it's been 26 years and counting...

If this were the Indians or the Blue Jays it be something like "The Yankees were playing the above expectations and this was bound to happen...", but because it's the Mets, it's blown up bigger than it needs to be. I said it before, the Mets are running out their A team and the Yankees are running out the D team. Who pitched for the Yankees tonight? They're playing with a skeleton crew. The Yankees are still 7 games over 500 and 1 behind for first while the Mets are 7 down and 10 out of first. It's just not comparable. The Mets can crow about this all they want and sure, this will follow them around all season but they'll get over it and once the reinforcements show up, they should be alright. Maybe hit the panic button if they get swept by the Sox. For the Mets though between this and the All-Star Game, that's their season. Outside of that, maybe Harvey can pitch a no/no or someone hit for the cycle in a game but after the second week in July the Mets are looking forward to 2014 so they gotta take the joy where it comes. For the Yankees, the real rivalry games start tomorrow.

I don't hit any panic buttons in May....no contending team does...it's may. Yanks were flat all week. one game was a bit of a blow out but other than that,all games were close. I'm already looking ahead to the Boston series....teams go into funks during the season it happens......you panic in September and win championships in October not in May....

I love watching Mets and Yankees fans going at it. It's like watching Nick Nolte and Gary Busey putting a bicycle together without instructions for Christmas morning. I got nothin particularly great here with the local team and no real rivalries to speak of, so I enjoy this stuff and reading the Damien/Hector wars. I do agree about the HOF, though. Jeter is in the top two SS I've ever seen and Rivera redefined the closer position. Both good guys, both deserving of first ballot enshrinement.

I prefer, Boston Fans.....since they actually won two World Series and Beat the **** out of us to get there they earned my respect. Mets haven't won **** in 26 years and we beat the tar out of them in 2000 as far as I'm concerned mets fans got nothing and NO respect from me....They are an embarrassing New York team.....

I just find it comical that there is such a wide berth and such divisiveness between major league teams that are ten miles apart. I'm still waiting for one ML team here...

That's just me being cynical. Of course I have my Reds, but until they prove they can beat good teams and not just club the bad teams like harp seals, they are semi-pro in my eyes. The Yankees have a tradition and legacy that cannot be touched by any other MLB team. It's just strange that literally down the street are the polar opposite Mets.
