chirorob Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 he will be warned before the game, if he hits utley he is tossed That sucks then. I am not a Mets fan, but that was BS. This game gets out of hand, either way, they better pull Utley out of the game. Even next year, I'd peg him couple times till you get that good rib shot that makes him sit a week.

RutgersJetFan Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This is without question the most likable team I have ever rooted for in any sport. No bitching. No moaning.

RutgersJetFan Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I feel like there's this tension between Ron Darling and the rest of the crew I'm surprised they let him do this series. He's been so passionate about this season and this roster every game, day in and day out. From a Mets fan's perspective it's great and it feels like a slice of SNY for the playoffs, but if I'm a fan of the opposing team or a commentator just trying to get an observational word in, I could see how it might get a little annoying. To play devil's advocate though, I can't blame him. This series has been a coming out party for the Mets. Even the moments during the regular season where we should have been the national story it always felt like we always flew under the radar. So I think Darling looks at it as his responsibility to explain to the viewers that what they're seeing isn't anything new, the way this club has been winning this series is the same way they've been winning since the break.

RutgersJetFan Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It's interesting how much easier it is to win a game when the opposing team doesn't dive into the legs of your middle infielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowmoe57 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 A Cubs fan I work with said he is rooting form the Met's because he didn't want to face the Dodgers Pitching. I was like "excuse me" he then said those 2 guys I don't want to face them. I then told him you realize the Met's have 4 of them. I don't think he believed me. I think I would still rather face St. Louis then the Cubs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Does anyone have a gif of that Cespedes bomb? I dont think I've ever seen a ball leave the field faster in my life. Funny story, I'm at the bar last night (my good luck seat) and across the way is this guy wearing an A's hat. Immediately after the bomb and I'm going crazy, screaming his name, he decides to yell at me that Cespedes sucks and the Mets would be fools to sign him. So I kindly ask him to explain, which he basically said, look at the Bonillia contract...as if that has anything to do with Cespedes. So we start getting into it, he's getting very loud , obnoxious and frustrated because I disagreed with his ridiculous reasoning which was nothing more than he's not worth the money. So here is the icing on the cake, the bartender is literally having to tell me to calm down and this guy to be quiet...and then he drops this bomb...."Yeah, I'm sorry, I dont even know why I'm getting heated, I'm a Yankees fan"... and he's lecturing me on contracts? Let alone the fact he's wearing an A's hat? I proceeded to roast this dude into an oblivon. The bartender was so appalled he literally looked at me and said, "have at him". And I did. To the point he just threw a 20 on the bar and left. hahahahahaha It was classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha - He didnt look like someone that could hang. The best part was, when I started raggin on him about the A's hat. He was like, "come'on man, you know you wear just random hats of teams around the league"....I was like NO!!! NEVER!!! And the whole bar chimed in mocking him. I wanted to ask him if he thought he was Phife Dawg, but figured he wouldnt get the reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy in our fantasy league I invited (yes, he's a real person) is a big Rams fan and went to the Rams-Giants game last season in STL. After the game he was grabbing dinner and a Seahawks fan was in the bar yelling about the Seahawk game going on on TV and talking trash at large to the Rams fans. My friend calmly asked the Seahawk fan to tell him who Walter Jones is. Guy had no clue, got aggro then left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHector Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 My friend calmly asked the Seahawk fan to tell him who Walter Jones is. Alec, who is one of the two HOF tackles that Parcells passed on in the 1997 draft to acquire a treasure trove of talent including Dedric Ward, Terry Day, Leon Johnson, and a LB that they later let go as a UFA (to be replaced by Sam Cowart)?

Klecko73isGod Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 http://gawker.com/wow-you-like-the-mets-wow-1736021251 Wow—you like the Mets? Okay—congrats. A thousand apologies for my failure to immediately fall to my knees and worship your great moral courage. Wow—you like the Mets? The slightly less well capitalized of the New York City baseball franchises? Wow. I’m trembling. I’ve never met a real live hero before. What’s that—you’ve been a Mets fan for a long time? You were a fan of the Mets even during years that they did not have a winning record? Wow. I hope that it’s not too forward for me to tell you that I regard your fortitude in the face of suffering to be on par with that of the many persecuted minorities around the world that have suffered genocide. Someday, I would like to know how you did it. Until then, I’d be happy to just to hear you tell loud stories about Mookie Wilson in the gym locker room in your abrasive, nasally Queens accent. Music to my ears. Whoa—you’ve liked the Mets? Since you were a kid? And not the Yankees? Even though the Yankees are objectively more popular? You still liked the Mets? And wore a Mets hat everywhere? And talked about the Mets? Since you were a kid? Wow. If I found the mythical “magic lamp” I would inform the genie that all three of my magic wishes were to meet your mother and father and sit them down and look deep into their eyes and sincerely congratulate them on raising a child with the principled bravery that you possess. I know that you personally are too humble to ask to be nominated for sainthood, but I would beg you to consider accepting the honor, if only to see the light in your mother’s eyes when you finally receive the recognition you are due. You say you met Keith Hernandez once? Please, tell me more. Hey—I was wondering. Did you stick with the Mets through thick and thin? And now they’re finally in the playoffs? And you feel vindicated not just as a common sports fan but as a person with the backbone to root for the city’s second most popular baseball team, which is a reflection, though you are too modest to say it in so many words, of your own honorable character? My only regret is that I do not have more eardrums to sacrifice to the dulcet strains of your boisterous discussions of this very point on sports talk radio stations. If I could somehow hear nothing but MIKEY FROM QUEENS discussing the finer points of Matt Harvey’s pitch count from morning to night, I would die a happy man. Doc Gooden? No, I’d like to hear what you think about him. Excuse me—I apologize for my giddy demeanor. It’s hard to contain myself. I’ve had quite a day. I doubt you’d believe me if I told you. But I—just an average joe—had the incredible honor and privilege today of meeting, in the flesh, up close and personal, right here in New York City, a fan of the New York Mets. Getting to hear him describe to me at top volume, while gesturing with a hand holding a half-eaten slice of pizza, how Derek Jeter is far more gay than Mike Piazza was merely the icing on the metaphorical cake. I, for one, can cross something very special off my bucket list. Thank you, Mets fans. Thank you for being you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
