had to comment and say that I really like the design on your site here. Did you create this theme yourself or did you purchase it from someone?

Bottom line….season is NOT over,not by a longshot….Nats are out of it unless Mets/Phillies/Braves and Marlins SIMULTANIOUSLY end up in an airplane crash together.However scrap that scenerio…Mets and Phils as they have been floundering during the first half,let the Braves and Marlins back into this.Mets are riddled with injuries and eventually the disabled list is going to get shorter and shorter and washed up players thrown into the tundra,Braves have experience on their side and Bobby Cox,Marlins are a group of young kids who are hungry and TRUST me,the team that will break your heart,also YES the Phillies had JC out,Lidge on the DL and a hot batter in Ibanez out and yet lead the damn thing by a slim game.So the NL East is NOT going to be handed to ANYONE on a silver platter,and are not annointed the Championship like most of youse guys think,it is earned.Still one more half of baseball season left and 4 games separating 4 teams. LET THE DOGFIGHT BEGIN!

I am basing my opinon of Santana as a me-first guy because of his tendency to pull himself from the game in the 8th inning if he is pitching well but the Mets are losing. Because what is the point of pitching a complete game if you can’t get the win? He also has a tendecy to throw pity parties in the dugout if he leaves a game with a lead and the Mets’ bullpen blows it. All he cares about is his stats and his pockets.

Can any of the Mets fans out there explain to me how all of these injuries cause David Wright to think that you are not allowed to catch balls in foul territory?

Here’s what I love about Mets fans: They act like their team is the only one that’s had to deal with any injuries whatsoever. We lost the NL leader in home runs for more than a month. We had to send to the DL the man who was the best closer in baseball last year, a guy who pitched poorly through injuries for the first three months of the season. We lost our No. 2 starter for the season — not to mention the guy who was called up to take his spot in the rotation. And we sent two other pieces of our bullpen simultaneously to the DL. Oh yeah, and there was that matter of a 50-game suspension.

You act like the Phillies should be walking away with this division — and you’re right, in the sense that we’ve lost too many games that we should have won and let the Fish creep back into the race. But don’t kid yourself into thinking that we’ve been a healthy ballclub — we’re just about as banged up as you.

And even if we had a huge lead in the division right now, how on earth could a Mets fan think that a team in first place couldn’t suddenly forget how to win and cough up that huge lead — perhaps to the eventual WFC.

What’s really funny is that, in the midst of expressing all of this ignorance, you have the gall to call Philly fans unintelligent. Wise up, loser.

The Phillies are 42-37 after 79 games. At the same point last year, (their World Championship season), they were 43-36. Considering that the past three seasons they’ve done much better in the second half of the season, it sure looks like they’re in pretty good shape.

The Mets AAA (28-51) and AA teams (30-51) are jokes and the best prospects they could come up with this year are Daniel Murphy, Nick Evans and Fernando Martinez (who is way overmatched). The Mets AAA All-Star representative is the 35 year old Nelson Figueroa, which indicates just how void their farm system is of talent.

So it’s amazing to me that Met’s fans continue to troll this board when their team is heading towards a fourth place finish (with the second highest payroll in baseball).

Mets are overrated!? And this is why nobody outside of Philadelphia actually takes any opinions from Philly fans seriously. I’m sure there are smart fans out there somewhere, but the idiots bring you down. There’s just too many of them.

And have fun believing you are starting to look like a “championship” team this year after sweeping the Buffalo Bisons, err, the Mets. You do realize you were just swept by the Atlants Braves? You guys had your chance to pull away while we were missing half our lineup, but you blew it. Thats being overrated.

Santana, after a brilliant opening six weeks, is now 5-5 with a 5.12 earned run average in his last 10 starts. His strikeout rate is also way down.

Morris, Lets at least be intelligent fans. Santana is as far from a me first guy as you get. What do you base that on anyway. He is also a pitcher so what he does for himself helps the team, so just a dumb comment. He pitched on a torn miniscus last year for two complete games for the “team.”

M.P. that was not a brilliant post. Ed, MikeMike,Evan, and Maziman agree and they are Philly fans.

I take a deep breath,sit back and relax and see players like Johan Santana and Francisco Rodriguez as “over rated”according to AJ#54.Now I sit back and laugh and think about WHY they made the All-Star team.I guess Charlie Manuel and the other MLB Players respect,huh what was that word,RESPECT them enough and look at them as the best in the league in THEIR eyes.Now you can look at this Mets as over rated and throw them to the curb,but I as a DIE HARD Amazins fan will not give up on my team without a struggle.Mets have no top of the order and no answers,the Starters can’t win games if there is no offense and a bunch of retreads,scrubs and players who aren’t ready for prime time and need MORE time in the minors.But as a fan….I do look at what happens when fans of other teams throw your team to the curb,and I have hope and good faith.It has happened recently and you know who they are,there was a team 7 games out with 17 games left and fought hard to win and succeeded,so its not impossible and it is STILL far from over.So YES I still believe in my Amazins.Chips may be down but I’m not abandoning my team LETS GO METS!

” Worse for Santana, his team was swept, falling four games behind the Phillies.”

Johan Santana could not care less about what the Mets do on days when he does not pitch. He is a me-first guy. That is why he fits in with the team so well.

Time to go vote for Shane.

Is JRoll a lead off hitter now. I am an optimist, and like when the phillies were playing really bad I said have some patience, Now that they won 3 games against the Mets at home I say be cautious. I do think JRoll is out of his slump and will hit well for a while now. And we still need to find where Cole has gone, hopefully he will have two good outings before the ASB.
It is nice to see Madson do well and Lidge too, maybe these two games will get Madson’s head right, JB pitched well, as did Lopez and JA also, I love Moyer but he has to be the only pitcher that only goes 6 innings in most of his starts. But let’s wait and see what the next weeks bring before we claim we will run away with the division.
Sorry for being Depresing.
I had a great game on Saturday, just got back to Vermont tonight, great weekend in Phila, and am proud of the Phillies for taking care of business against the Mets, it was fun watching the MUT fans hand their heads and walk away after the game
