The Unconfidence of the Mets

PrintIf you're a true Braves fan, then a big smile should cover your face in the wake of the four-game sweep of the Mets. Like a major earthquake there's a knowledge that this latest magnitude four-game sweep quake will have untold aftershocks. The Mets were already on uneasy ground and seemed to be crumbling from the inside, but now that the fires have broken out all over the team there may be no way to contain the carnage.
How long will Willie Randolph keep his job? There is apparently friction between ownership and the manager after some recent comments he made on the Mets TV channel; and he may be ultimately held responsible for the disarray the Mets clubhouse is in.
The Mets may simply be going through a bad spell in their season -- something every team seems to do at some point or another. The comments from Matt Cerrone of MetsBlog sum up the frustrations of Mets-nation:
…it had to be the Braves…of all the teams, in all of the league…ugh…
And there's that big smile once again on the face of every Braves fan. There's something sinister and beautiful about contributing to the demise of the Mets.

I posted the same image in fanshots. I saw that guy too, I’m amazed he got the entire broom into the park. A lot of people had to unscrew the broom heads, and leave them at the gate upon entering … too much like a “weapon” for certain security guards, I suppose.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
My favorite part is a Phillies fan on another board telling me that a 4 game sweep of the Mets is no big deal, and getting 12 hits off Santana is nothing.
Wow
I didn’t realize dinging a perennial Cy Young caliber pitcher for a career-high 12 allowed hits wasn’t a big deal.
Then again, Philly fans booed and told Chase Utley to go back to Triple-A because he struck out looking following a grand slam.

It's so true...
...after the catch by SK at the end of the game, I was so happy. I actually smoked a cigarette for the first time in a while. The best part is always texting my two friends who like the Mets and getting a response like this:
“Fuck off. They suck. I know it.”
A peaceful sleep indeed.

KJ made the first awesome snag
The one that got Beltran out, and caught Wright off the bag.

I can't remember
a more satisfying non-playoff series.
So satisfying.
Does anyone have video of Santana throwing at Hudson? I missed the seventh inning (I know) and I can’t find the video anywhere.
Love the Pic
A right above Willie’s head is priceless.
This Mets team is so punchless it’s not even funny.
When you allocated everything you have into essentially two players (Beltran and Santana) what can you expect? Both are talented but Beltran especially plays without passion, substance, or hustle. You got aging knees in Delgado and Castillo and Alou is basket you wouldn’t want to even put one egg in and yet there’s three of your everyday starters.
I would almost feel sorry for this team if it wasn’t the Metros.

LET’S CALL THE BRAVES BY WHO THEY REALLY ARE. THE REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONS!! THEY ARE A BUNCH OF BUMS!! WHEN IT COMES TO THE PLAYOFF THEY STILL CAN’T HOLD THEIR OWN….SO MUCH FOR THE GREAT BALLCLUB THEY HAVE. LARRY I MEAN "CHIPPER’S" HITTING OVER .400 AND FANS STILL WONT COME OUT TO SEE THEIR TEAM PLAY. AND ONE LAST THING . THANKS FOR THE 18TH PICK OF THE DRAFT THIS YEAR!! WE GAVE UP THAT BUMMM GLAVINE FOR A FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK..
I have a hard time believing that the Mets wouldn't love to have Glavine back right now...
Especially when considering how automatic Pedro and El Duque have been this year!
Learn from your fellow Mets fan.

Don't Even Bother...
They are the ones with a losing record. They are the ones whose manager is about to get fired. They just got swept (in a four game series) by us.

I just...
...wanted another excuse to post that image. It’s hard for Mets fans to have a rebuttal to proof that one of their own has turned on their team, due to harsh reality.

It's Like...
They are the pinnacle of suckiness. Like some kind of shrine to suckiness. They suck so bad, it’s almost artistic, I would even say beautiful.

WHAT THE HELL IS THERE TO DO IN ATLANTA ANYWAY ? GO TIP SOME COWS!!!!!
Mets Fans Invade
What I’ve basically learned is that most computer keyboards in New York are built with shoddy caps lock keys.
I love how they throw 14 consecutive trips to the post-season in our face like we should be disappointed about it. All we have to say is “worst end of season collapse in baseball history.”
If there wasn’t anything to do down south then everyone “would” be at the Braves game.
Cow tipping is damn fun and everyone should try it!
I guess they also failed spelling in school (or skool as they would spell it.)
“WE’RE REAL BASEBALL FANS HERE IN NY, WHEN ARE TEAM IS PLAYING WELL WE SHOW UP.”
It is supposed to be OUR TEAM, not are team.
“WE POST COMMENTS WHETHER WE WIN OR LOOSE AS YOU CAN SEE.”
I believe you mean LOSE, not loose, I think you might be confusing your (or you’re as you might write it) Mets with your mom.
Well you know gondeee
Canal St. in NYC is the home of 90% of the United States’ bootleg merchandise. Wouldn’t surprise me the least bit that most of it’s shoddy with broken Caps Lock keys.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
hahaha! I love it!!
I bet you guys can’t count the # of teeth you have in more than one hand. And by the no one care’s about division winners!!!
