Being Bridesmaids? No thank you.
And "almost" only counts in horseshoes and bocce.
Sorry, you lost round 1.
As a Mets fan you would kill to "lose" the way the yankees have the past few years.
Really? Schilling would have gone to the Bronx. Maybe you outta troll the Red Sox board he regularly posts on (YES players DO post on fan boards, Todd Pratt was a regular over at the old Mets.com) do a search on his posts and READ what he posted after signing with Boston.
Let me get this straight. Aftre being traded to the Red Sox you expected Curt Schilling to say he would have gone to the Yankees? I don't think we need judges this is a knockout.
What did I say about Yankmee fans and baseball knowledge? What was the TEAMS ERA in the playoffs? MLB Site doesn't have totals but Brown had a 21.60 ERA in the LCS-Mussina 4.26, Gordon 8.10, Vasquez 9.95, Quantrill 5.40....you don't win with pitching like that. Just as in Football you can't win with crappy offense. Hellllooooooo.
Apparently you didn't watch the postseason.
-ALDS Game 1 LOST 2-0, I'd say that was a well pitched game.
-ALDS Game 2 WIN 7-6 in extra innings, had great performance by Lieber but pen blew it.
-ALDS Game 3 WIN 8-4, very good perfromance by Brown
-ALDS Game 5 WIN 6-5, vasquez did ok but not horrible
-ALCS Game 1 WIN 10-7 but Moose threw 7 inning sof no hit ball and when the game was out of hand the Sox scored a bunch of runs.
-ALCS Gam 2 WIN 3-1, Liebre outstanding
-ALCS Game 3 WIN 19-8, awful job by Brown
-ALCS game 4 LOST 6-4 in EXTRAS, good pitching performance.
-ALCS Game 5 LOST 5-4 in EXTRAS, good pitching
-ALCS Game 6 LOST 4-2, good pitching
-ALCS Game 7 LOST 10-3 horrible performance by Brown.
Actually watch the gam before you bring out stats Mr. jealous Met fan.
I'll give you a few and you go look them up:
C Dioner Navarro
3B Eric Duncan
CF Rudy Guillen
SP Ramon Ramirez
2B Robinson Cano
SP Danny Borrell
Not to "gamers" and not in BIG games. Sorry.....
What about the rest of the season. Show me his average with RISP.
-Down 0-1 to Minnesota and down inGame 2 he went 4 for 6 w/ a HR and 3 RBI including the game tying double in extra innings.
-Game 4, doubled in 11th then stole 3rd then scored on WP. he manufactured the series winning run on his own.
-In ALCS he was 2 for 5 in game 1, 1 for 4 in game 2, 3 for 5 3 RBI and a HR in game 3 then the bats went cold for the entire team.
By the way, in addition to his good hitting until game 4 he played great D as well.
Here are his postseason totals: .320, 5 doubles, 3 HRs, 8 RBI, 2 SB, 11 runs scored. Not bad.
OH let's not forget that wonderful acquisition of Jason Giambi Yea he lead you to WS victory...
I thought his signing was a mistake from the beginning but we all have overpaid stiffs. You have Piazza and we have Giambi.
I guess I sit in better seats than you b/c closer to the field I don't see many fights and I never noticed any action going on in the upper deck but I only pay attention to the game and not the bitter, jealous Met fans starting fights.
So no inferiority complex....Yankmee fans do not have manners. Plain and simple. You go to another teams ballpark you root for your team but show the "host" team and their fans RESPECT. I've saw better manners from BRAVES fans that come to Shea.
I've been to many road games including Yanks-Sox at Fenway and I've never had a problem and I openly root. There are idiot fans for every team and winning so much brings some obnoxious, bandwagon fans so it may seem like we have more but I guarantee you no one thought that when we were the worst team in the league in the early 90s. Maybe some day when you win you'll understand.
elite? Yea hiring/firing/hiring/firing Billy Martin was really classy. It made a mockery of Baseball. OR how about the tale of Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich switching wives in 72...real classy...OH let's not forget Boomer Wells antics in the Diner incident OR Karim Garcia beating up a grounds keeper....
This wasn't about franchises it was about fans- nice attempt to twist. You act like Met fans are innocent but they threw batteries and other things at Rocker and have done it to other teams as well.
As for the Mets, I guess it was ok for Vince Coleman to throw a firecracker at a little girl or David Cone(he never acted up as a Yank) to expose himself to a female fan in the bullpen or Bret Saberhagen to spray BLEACH at reporters or Bonilla to threaten a reporter or Gooden to be so high that he missed the Mets WS parade. Shall I go on?
Jose Reyes. Valent. David Wright.
Remember those names.
Wanna see stats?
I didn't say they don't have prospects, I said get back to me when they produce in the Majors and I don't mean for half a season. Do you remember generation K, Gregg Jefferies, Kevin Elster, Rey Ordonez, Eric Hillman, David West, Butch Huskey, Jay Payton, ....
All highly touted prospects from the great Mets system that did nothing or ltitle w/ the Mets. remember when they were comparing Generation K to the Braves staff of '91 w/ Avery, Glavine & Smoltz?
HE is a mutha!@#$ing SHE for the millionth time. I believe I corrected the other Yankmee fan back on page 2 when called "Dude". Reading in Fundamental.
You are a Woman and you write the things you write? I am stunned.
If I were a fan and my ticket prices keep rising every season to pay for the worthless talent on the field with nothing to show for it I'd be pissed.
The Mets have problems, they do raise tickets prices and do nothing on the field but someday they'll when so don't give up just yet.
check out the sign Manny borrowed from a fan
Let Manny live it up but I'm sure he trade his 1 Title for Jeter's FOUR.
ALSO it was real classy of "Capt. Jeter" to be RIPPING his teammates in the papers last week. He blamed the fact that his newer teammates aren't the '96-00 yankees
he didn't blame anything on anyone, he was aksed how it feels for this team to lose after being able to win in situations like this for so man y years and he correctly pointed out that this current team had not won like those teams.
Jeter showed himself to be a punk when he didn't yield the SS position to the technically superior player if you ask me...
Jeter is the Captain of the greatest franchise in the history of sports and a future HOFer at SS, why should he move? But it was ok that Mike Piazza(long since a great player) refused to play 1B(even though they had a better C behind him defensively) until he broke his meaningless C HR record?
