Wow...a 46-pitch blown save by Heath Bell, complete with four walks! Ouch!
11-8...and Reyes is down to .205 and had one hit in the series...bootiful!

Even when Marty comes back maybe Larry should put Clemmensen to be on the goal during the shootouts.
Can the coach do that ? Switch the goalies 5 seconds to go in overtime? - Most priceless quote ever posted on a message board.
Martin Brodeur: THE MOST ALL-TIME WINS!, 12 straight seasons of 30+ wins, 3 Stanley Cups, 4 Vezina Trophies, and zero respect from too many so-called Devils "fans" who are either too young or too bandwagon to remember the much darker days of Sean Burke, Craig Billington, Bob Sauve, Alain Chevrier, and the talented but overwhelmed Chico Resch, among many others.
It's easy to support a great player when he's playing at his very best. It takes a true fan to support that same player during those rare moments and stretches when he's not. Babe Ruth went 0-4 some games, and sometimes Wayne Gretzky was held pointless. There may be such a thing as greatness, but no such thing as absolute perfection every single night.

I hope mojo is contagious!
When the Mets fell to 8-8, I thought they'd be 3 or 4 games under .500 within a few weeks...at least they're giving us reasons to care about them, and to hope just a little.

Mets spotted Schwinden with a 6-2 lead, gives it all back in the bottom half of the inning.
Already missing Mike Pelfrey. Sigh.
This 5th inning might be the worst inning I've ever seen.

C'mon nmig, you've been one of Pelfrey's harshest critics. No guarantee he would've done much better. And six errors pretty much guarantees a loss anyway...especially in that building. Nine unearned runs?! Yikes.

God, glad I didn't see it then...still too much in hockey mode to pay much attention, but it's hard to imagine any inning being worse than that one in Dodger Stadium a couple years ago where Church missed touching third when he should have scored the lead run in extra innings, and the Mets made like three errors in the bottom half of that inning to lose it

The Mets are going to have to add some stronger rotation depth. You really can't afford to have someone like Jeremy Hefner as your next best option if Schwinden flops or someone else goes down. Familia and Harvey are obviously off limits. Chris Young is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment next week and should be ready by mid-May if everything goes right; that's better than nothing, but counting on him for anything is a fool's errand.
CR: Right, but Pelfrey is still better than a revolving door of replacement level 5th starters.

That was just insane. I can't believe we won. Unreal.
These gut punches brought me back to 2007 and 2008. Seriously, I'm still stunned they fought back after blowing it TWICE.
And then when it's all looking great in the 11th with 2 outs, Scutaro JUST misses a homerun to LF. Finally Coors Field plays nice to us.
Wow. The Devils game was upsetting but I'm glad the Mets fought back in this one when it looked like they were going to roll over and die after those 2 big gut punches to the bullpen.

Acutally, only one of their losses was by one run (extra innings).
The rest:
One loss by 9 runs.
One loss by 8 runs.
Two losses by 6 runs.
Two losses by 5 runs.
Two losses by 4 runs.
Yeah, their losses do tend be pretty decisive. And six of their wins have come by one run.
I'll take them any way they come...I don't care about the run differential, ugly as it may be, but usually a run differential like that is a sign of bad things to come.

It's not too bad. If you were to leave an inning early then you definitely won't have any issues, even as others leave. Getting out of there is a lot easier than Shea was.Usually I don't go to games until after hockey season ends but I may wind up going to the game Saturday since it's supposed to be nice out.

Yeah...I'd do the train from South Orange but it's just as expensive as parking would be if not more so (I believe $12.50 round trip from SO to NYP, then at best another $4.50 with two subway trips) without having to worry about making connections since NJ Transit trains basically only run every hour on the weekend. At least it's not a night game, but I'd rather not be out too late considering I have almost a full day out the next day including Game 4 of the Devil series lol.

These last three games have been really deflating. They couldn't even managed one win against Houston.
Much-needed day off tomorrow followed by a 3-game home set with Arizona and then back on the road to Philly and Miami. Let's be happy we're at least a game over .500, it may not last much longer.

It wasn't supposed to, really. We kinda knew this team was going to struggle to stay above .500, and that was WITH Pelfrey. They also have the 2nd worst run differential in the league (-30). All signs are pointing towards a major slump, the kind that will have the Mets 5 games or so under .500 before we can blink...maybe it won't happen right away, but I think it's coming eventually. The big stories now are 1)Can David Wright keep up his resurgence (and will the Mets play him if he does...I don't think I would), and 2)Can Ike Davis turn an abysmal start into a respectable season?
THE NHL MUST LOVE THE DEVILS - from who else? A RANGER fan!
[Mark Messier]: A big, bald attention whore with a stupid Easter Island-lookin face. - from who else? DaneykoIsGod!
Even when Marty comes back maybe Larry should put Clemmensen to be on the goal during the shootouts.
Can the coach do that ? Switch the goalies 5 seconds to go in overtime? - Most priceless quote ever posted on a message board.
Martin Brodeur: THE MOST ALL-TIME WINS!, 12 straight seasons of 30+ wins, 3 Stanley Cups, 4 Vezina Trophies, and zero respect from too many so-called Devils "fans" who are either too young or too bandwagon to remember the much darker days of Sean Burke, Craig Billington, Bob Sauve, Alain Chevrier, and the talented but overwhelmed Chico Resch, among many others.
It's easy to support a great player when he's playing at his very best. It takes a true fan to support that same player during those rare moments and stretches when he's not. Babe Ruth went 0-4 some games, and sometimes Wayne Gretzky was held pointless. There may be such a thing as greatness, but no such thing as absolute perfection every single night.

Mr. Met is #1!
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/spt--mr--met-tops-list-of-favorite-mascots.html;_ylt=AncpPOWd8GXUzLrwA1bDev4RvLYFThings are looking up for the New York Mets. The Bernie Madoff case is settled (though the related debt will linger awhile), and the team is finishing up a winning April. Topping off the good news: the club's longest serving member, Mr. Met, stands as America's favorite sports mascot in 2012.
The simple, perpetually grinning veteran with the giant baseball head nosed out the Phillie Phanatic in the latest fan survey done by The Marketing Arm's Davie Brown Index, which measures people's perceptions of celebrities and their influence on brands. Measurements used by the DBI for sports mascots: awareness, likeability and breakthrough, the last of which refers to the degree consumers take notice of the mascot when he appears at the stadium and on television, plus the degree to which people are able to match a mascot to his team (a mascot named Mr. Met would seem to have little trouble there, while the San Antonio Spurs' Coyote might have his work cut out for him).
...
The top five:
5. Wally the Green Monster (Boston Red Sox)
4. San Diego Chicken (freelance)
3. Benny the Bull (Chicago Bulls)
2. Phillie Phanatic (Philadelphia Phillies)
1. Mr. Met (New York Mets)
