Today the Mets completed their 2 consecutive series sweep when they finished off the Dodgers for the 3rd time in 24 hours.

Everyone has been looking good, even the fucking pitching.

The Mets have moved into first place and they head into Philly to start the weekend off on Friday.

Cross your fucking fingers Mets fans!

The New York Mets’ prized prospect Ike Davis made his MLB debut tonight in a 6-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

Davis singled in his first AB and went 2 for 4 on the night.  This kid is a stud, and hopefully he starts crushing it and we get a nice new weapon.

The Mets sent 9 hitters to the plate in the 7th, when Angel Pagan got the party started with a 2 run bomb.

J Bay hit a nice double and went 2 for 4.  Hopefully he will get out of that fuckin funk.

Jon Niese sucks dick, but was mildly acceptable tonight.  We still need pitching.  Fucking bad.

Anyway, bad news for those of you hoping the Mets adopt Wild Willie, the people loving seal.  He recently decided, he does not like people anymore.  This pic was taken before… well, I think you get it.

The Mets (1–0) beat the Marlins (0–1) by the score of 7–1 at opening day this afternoon.

David Wright demolished a two-run home run in his first at bat of the season, which is a good fuckin sign.

Jason Bay, Rod Barajas and Gary Matthews Jr. each had two hits. That is a good fuckin sign too. Jeff Francoeur had 2 RBI’s and Mike Jacobs struck went 0 for 4. I like Mike, but dude, you have a second chance, do something with it fuck face. Welcome back by the way.

Johan Santana looked fucking great and only allowed one run and four hits in six innings. Fernando Nieve came in and pitched two scoreless innings in relief. and K-Rod pitched a 1–2–3 ninth inning.

One of our 4 other starters will be pitching tomorrow. This my dear friends, is not a good sign.

Well I guess it is good that we won today, but my prediction is that we will lose 4 in a row from here and then when Santana pitches again, we will win. May the fuckin force be with us Mets fans, because it is going to be a long turbulent season.

Well, low and behold, as we are nearing the end of spring training and the final spots on the team are up for grabs.  The New York Mets only have a few spots to fill.  Okay, a few more than a few.

Lets take a look at the locks first…

LF- Bay

RF- Francoeur

3B- Wright

SS- Reyes

2B- Castillo- most hate him, I like him.  He had one bad year in 2008, and one bad catch in 2009, other than that, he was our second best hitter no matter how you slice it.

1B-Murphy- Murph will definitely have the job opening day, but he better have a fast start and that’s a whole separate conversation.

SP- Santana

RP- Feliciano

CP- Rodriguez

So that leaves us with a C, 4 SP’s, 6 RP’s, and CF.

At catcher, it is looking like Barajas and Blanco, leaving the odd man out, Omir Santos.  I like Santos, and I think given an opportunity to play a whole season, he could be a .285 hitter with 15-20 hr and 80 RBIs, much like Daniel Murphy.  Barajas and Blanco are sub .230 hitters.  They have some power, and maybe working with Hojo, they can learn some plate discipline.

I said we need 4 starting pitchers because let’s face it, we need 4 SP’s, and fucking quick.  Here is my theory.  Give the job to the 4 best guys in spring.  No matter who they are.  Whoever performed the best, we keep.  Why risk it with Perez, Maine, Pelfrey and Niese?

Give Jenry Mejia a fucking shot.  The kid is an animal.  Igarashi has looked fucking great.  Give the best performers a shot.  Perez, Maine and Pelfrey have all showed this spring, that miracles do not happen.  These fucking cock sandwiches are not going to all of a sudden, get it and become all stars.  Let’s face it, they suck dick.

So as far as the rotation goes, keep the guys who are doing the best as SP’s and the rest go to the bull pen.  Perez could become our 2nd lefty out of the pen!  No need to trade anyone.

That leaves Centerfield.  It is a race between Gary Mathews, and Angel Pagan, or at least until old rusty knee Beltran comes back.  I think this has to go to Pagan.  The guy is a maniac, and I believe he will be an allstar one day.  Mark my words.  I think he has earned the shot.  Mathews has looked awesome this spring, but he is older and we might be able to get a less shitty SP than what we have for him, and that can help.

So why the headline?  Well, Figueroa is a strange case.  He pitches fucking awesome when it doesn’t fucking matter.  He did awesome in the WBC, and awesome in the beginning of the spring when the Mets and there opponents were facing highschoolers.  The problem with this guy is, he is good when he is good, but when he is bad, he is on a whole different level.

This fucking guy gave up 7 fucking runs on 8 hits in one inning against the Marlins.  Today of all days, this guy should have been making his case to be on this team and he goes out and does this.  He did this last year and the year before and the the year before that.   That is why he is going to be 36 years old, and has never competed in a full MLB season.  He is a fucking liability.

Sorry Danny, I know he is your boy. But he needs to peace the fuck out.  I don’t give a shit if he is a nice guy or not.  I’ll hang out with the dude, I just do not want him pitching for the Mets.

I am live on the scene in Port St. Lucie where the Mets are taking on the Astros.

I got sick seats… Section 104 Row AA Seat 1 in between the Mets dugout and On Deck circle.

Angel Pagan and Gary Mathews were slugging it out in BP…

Angel Pagan just signed my ball, literally my ball.

The “Situation” from the Jersey Shore just bounced the ceremonial first pitch, while being booed loudly by 4000 people. Fucking classic!

Now I am sitting right next to the Situation from Jersey Shore. what a douche, but he did sign my ball… literally my other ball. See his ridiculous autograph below.

Also the park is no longer called Tradition Field, it is now Digital Domain Park.

Johan is throwing some heat. But slowing down to a simmer as we get later in the game.

Jon Niese looked good and fuckin K-Rod is a fuckin beast. He looked great.

Daniel Murphy also put the Mets ahead for good with a blast in the 6th.

Dude is focused, he did not even chuckle when I told him to call his shot and point to the stands like Babe Ruth. He was 2 1/2 feet away from me. He did not laugh…

But he did crush that homer and I did get a nod at the end of the game with a smile.

Overall, these assholes look focused. That is a good sign.

Pagan is a machine. Dude was working out non-stop.

Overall sick day, Mets won 5-2.

Look for me at the game tomorrow.   I got a fucking sick fucking seat.  I am right in between the Mets dugout and batters box first row.  So these fucking cock faces are going to hear it from me the whole game, rest assured.

I will be in my usual costume minus my boy Danny.  He could not make it, so this is a solo mission.

Me and Danny at the Game

I am telling David Wright that I am expecting him to hit 6 hr’s in this game to prove to me he is not going to suck again.  Or he will be struck promptly with a tomato.

I will be posting live updates throughout the game as well as posting videos and pictures.  I am bringing a bunch of baseballs to get autographed so if you want one, get one your fucking self.

In addition to the baseballs, I will be also bringing a 3 cases of rotten tomatoes, which I will be tossing at either the Mets or the Astros, or most likely everyone within range.  But everyone who comes up to bat for the Mets will be close enough for a nipple pinch.  So look out Alex Cora.  You too Oliver Perez, Mike Pelfrey, John Maine, Jon Niese, Sean Green, Daniel Murphy.  Bay, you may make it through the game safe, unless you strike out, then you get struck…twice.

Check back for updates tomorrow or follow me on Twitter.com/metsballers, as I will be streaming from Port St. Lucie starting at 11am…

After reading the latest article about the Mets new acquisition, Kelvim Escobar. I am just looking for news somewhere that is going to explain the reason for the Mets recent pitching staff signings. They are signing nothing but injury plagued over the hill clowns, or just straight up nobodies. Are they trying to get some extra pieces for a future trade? I wish I could spend a day in the mind of Omar & Co.

To Kelvim Escobar, It seems the Mets have signed him to a 1 year deal worth somewhere around $1.25 Million. Since putting up 18 wins in 2007. Escobar has been a non-factor in MLB. Escobar has some good relief experience. Word on the street is that his is going to be given a shot at middle relief / setup man. I guess it can’t get any worse.

The Mets are on the verge of an agreement with a 35 year old knuckleballer named R.A. Dickey. Another no named sub .500 pitcher on the roster. Who would have thought….

Just not sure what the actual reasoning behind this is? Why don’t they sign an actual minor league prospect to a minor league contract instead of an old road warrior. Where is this going? Is he someone that can be used in a future trade? Who else would want this guy?

I am pretty excited that the Mets have put in some effort to better there line up with the likes of Jason Bay. I am pretty excited that they are taking into consideration that if they want to get the most out of there pitchers. They need a good experiences catcher with a good baseball mind in the likes of Bengie Molina. I feel that both of these great player would add to the current Mets roster.

In the wake of all the rumors of Bay leveraging the Mets against themselves. The hold up of Molina wanting that extra year on his contract despite the fact that he is 35 years old. The Mets have seem to have completely forgot about the fact that they are in extreme need for starting pitching.

It is a very well known fact that in order to compete late in the year (post-season). You have to have at least 2 aces in your lineup. John Maine, Mike Pelfrey or Oliver Perez are 4th or 5th in the rotation on any playoff bound team in the league. If you ask me, they would be lucky to even be on the roster of a team that is competing come October.

I am not saying that I am love with Jason Marquis either. His best year came in 2004 when he went 15-7 with a 3.71 ERA. Since then he has been nothing but average. His career pitching numbers being just above .500 with an ERA close to 4.50. He did have a good start last year making the All-Star team for the first time in his career due to a 11-6 start. The second half of the season didn’t go as well finishing up at 15-13.

After going on about how shitty Marquis is. I realized that the mets probably didn’t lose out on this. More so passing up another opportunity on the next Oliver Perez. But where do they go next. Is there anyone else out there in the mix? All of the real pitchers have been snatched up by contenders.

Is there any big name players out these that even care to play for this organization anymore?

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you all enjoyed eating turkey until you bust, drinking whisky til you puke and watching football with a fucking helmet on.   Now to some Mets news!

I know it has been a while since I posted about the Mets, but who wants to talk about the same bullshit rumors every fucking day.  When something actually transpires, I will be the first to let you know, but I am sick of all of the speculation.   It is ridiculous.

Anyway,  according to FoxSports.com, the Mets are close to re-signing RHP Elmer Dessens.  Yes, you read that right, Elmer “Fudd” Dessens.

What an awesome fucking move.

The 39–year-old Dessens had a 36.31 ERA in just 8 relief appearances for the Mets last season, during which left-handed batters hit .793 against him.  He struck out 4 batters and walked 76, while allowing 19 home runs.  Okay, so I am exaggerating a little, but are you fucking kidding me with this bullshit?  Ridiculous.

Can we focus on maybe getting some fucking guys, who could hit, or play the field?  Maybe a starting pitcher who can last more 2/3 of an inning?  I don’t know.  Fuck it, I am not getting my hopes up.
