New stadium apparently too classy for Mets fans.
Doesn't adequately celebrate club's colorful history of mediocrity and failure.
Rather than fire Joe Morgan, they added another nitwit to the Sunday night broadcast.
Brilliant!
"Surly and bruised, they booed when players from the Florida Marlins came out to collect dirt from the basepaths. They booed every time the Mets announced anything over the public address system — “Our Shea goodbye ceremony will begin in five minutes,” was particularly unpopular. And, yes, they even booed Mr. Met."
...to our Flushing cisterns and brethren.
Our I-Team is working overtime. Here are some exclusive shots of the future home of the Mets.
Looks like bad news for the Mets: Pedro Martinez is due to have an MRI on his hammie.
Our intrepid I-Team hacked the Mets medical files and discovered these previous images from Martinez visits to the doctor. So here for the first time ...
2007: Pedro complains of upset stomach. Doctor recommends avoiding eating the losers at cockfights.
Hey Johan Santana, here's a little tip about playing in New York.
You know the electric chair is warming up and the phasers are set on stun when The Daily News starts dropping your contract numbers into the third paragraph of a game story.
Or when they write the name of the guy who just took you deep and mention, parenthetically, that his "most recent professional experience came in 36 games as a Long Island Duck in 2006."
Or when they drop the sentence "Of course, Santana did allow an American League-high 33 homers last season" into paragraph four.
The Swedish-meatball-stuffed scribes in St. Paul were "Minnesota Nice," using words like "please" and "excuse me," which you won't hear for the duration of your contract in New York.
Best wishes, dude.
Note to Mets fans: Former Met Rick Anderson remains the pitching coach of the Minnesota Twins. He did not come with Santana as part of the deal. Anderson? He was the guy who kept Santana's head screwed on tight after each and every one of those 33 home runs last year.
According to a report: One active Major League Baseball player was able to keep his name out of former Senator George J. Mitchell’s report of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball even though he bought them, Mr. Mitchell said Friday. When he was notified by Mitchell’s investigators that they had evidence linking him to buying drugs from a former New York Mets clubhouse employee, this player brought his lawyer and met with Mitchell.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York man has been charged with beating his mother to death with a barbell after losing his temper while watching a baseball game on television.
Michael Anthony, 25, was watching the New York Mets lose a game on Saturday from his home in the borough of Queens when he began furiously banging on the walls, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said in a statement on Monday.
His father Fred Fischman shouted at him to stop, but Anthony punched him in the face and threw him to the ground, according to the criminal charges.
When Anthony's mother, Maria Fischman, 61, tried to intervene, prosecutors said he stabbed her once in the head with a knife before chasing her into a bedroom where he struck her several times with the 20 pound (9 kilogram) barbell.
Years ago, I asked a wise Yankee fan if he also liked the Mets. He said:
"They got the pinstripes, they got the NY. You might as well root for the Reverse-Flash."
