Where do I start?

Metfan's favorite team is 2-5, 4 games behind the 1st place Phillies, who are 6-1 going into tonight.

Losing 2 of 3 to the Nationals is unacceptable.

But, hey, I really don't care.

The Mets do not have the team to take them to the post season, with or without injuries. There was probably a 3+ year period where the Mets were auguably the best team in the National League, but they under-achieved, invented ways to lose, lacked discipline, and blew leads in incredible and horrific fashion in the last stretch of the season for consecutive years. Opportunities like those do not come along very often, and now that era is behind them with nothing to show for it but frustration. It's really a re-building period the Mets find themselves in now, regardless of the usual and unrealistic team hype for fan consumption.

I'd rather follow the Yellow Brick Road and ask the wizard for a real team with a real manager. Love Jerry personally but as a manager - help.

Well after a real crappy start, of late the last 2 games, they have bee playing good ball. I figured last night would be a loss with Perez on the hill. He pitched decently, a game I would expect out of him, but Takahashi and Acosta blew the game and any chance the Mets had to get back in the game. But man one helluva catch by Ike Davis when he stretched out to make that out and then flip over the dugout railing in the 2nd inning I think it was.
Time to brush it all off and get ready for the next game.

Keep the faith Metsfan! Must say though, how come your FB team has no Met's players?

Wright has Wed off to try and regather his thoughts as he is in a slump

Mets sweeeep and Wright did great. Mets are on a roll.

How about the first-place Mets! Probably won't last very long, but still nice to see after the bad start.

Looks like the mets will have a game and a half lead on the phils here shortly.
Nice offensive game for the mets and Maine actually pitched a very nice game. Who would have though the Mets bullpen of Feliciano and K-rod both would have ERAS of .84 now and Valdes and Meija would have ERA's under 1.90, thats a nice bullpen to have. i know it is early in the season but damn, they have been impressive.
And throw in Pelfman with a .69 ERA
An excellent 9-1 home stand, hottest team in baseball right now. Should be a fun series this weekend

Phillies won, so the Mets stay .5 ahead of Philly. Should be a really fun series coming up.

[FreezingDrizzle]

Yeah at the time they were losing, stupid Giants bullpen. Should have left Lincecum in there.

This is a huge series. alot of emotion will be on display for the two teams. Whoever wins this one, should go on a tear as they should feel good and put some seperation between first and second place

[metfan4life]

8-1 Mets in the 7th inning.

[metfan4life]

9-1 Mets in the 8th

Rod Barajas just hit another homerun. His 2nd of the game.

[metfan4life]

Mets win 9-1. 8 wins in a row for the Mets and they are now 1.5 games in 1st place. The Phillies are now in 3rd place. The Nats are in 2nd place . What a great performance by Niese and the Mets offense. Wonderful game overall.
