Mr. Met's a blogger!

Welcome everybody to our very first blog of the 2008 season, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. What has been the deal with the New York Metropolitans? I would first like to address the fact that our bullpen has absolutely showed NO improvement since our glorious but disgraceful collpase in September. Heilman is in rare form giving up 4 run leads in the 7th, Smith (which seems to be a small ray of light in this dark tunnel) will eventually start losing command of his pitches and leave met fans with their hands up their you know whats, Sosa a.k.a. "coco puff" is giving up grand slams to players that won't even make the front page of a high school newspaper, and Schoeneweis is too concerned about not giving up runs then actually getting outs. HOWEVER, I would like to tip my cap to Billy Wagner who has been ALMOST perfect besides that "WTF" moment he had last Wednesday against the Pittsburg Pirates.

And while all of this is going on we have Rick "The Jacket" Peterson sitting in the dugout making stick figures on his lineup card. I think it's time to put down the lineup card and start teaching these guys a thing or two about PITCHING. And why does he make mound visits after the fact that one of his guys gave up the lead?? The world may never know....

Now that I have address the fact that our bullpen is still making the woes of September fresh in the memories of Met fans everywhere, lets talk about Jose Reyes. Whatever happened to the Reyes we know and love?? What happened to the hand slapping, bag swiping, voice shouting Reyes that use to walk the halls of Shea Stadium? It all of a sudden left like Carlos Delgato's talent! Please Jose COME BACK!!! The team NEEDS you!!! It's a proven fact that once Reyes gets off his rear end and starts to play some baseball, the New York Metropolitans chances of winning a ballgame raises 2132421151 %....

So now we have the red hot Arizona Diamondbacks to contend with. Although this might sound like doomsday HAVE NO FEAR! The Mets for some reason play great baseball in the desert. This MIGHT kick start us into the 2008 season. We need to start looking forward to Jose Reyes' base stealing, David Wright's opposite field bombs, and John Maine's 12 strikeout games. Until then, peace out.
