Some classic quotables in anticipation of the 2010 season:
[Fredo] This season is shaping up to be a dung pile of the highest magnitude.
[Beetz] M.....E.....T.....S..... Are Jokes Jokes Jokes.
[DC, in response to SHK's list of 8 things he likes about the Mets] I like a lot more about this team than SHK does but much of that is blind devotion and the remainder is hearty optimism.
[Fredo, in response to DC's optimism] That said, if the Metties exceed expectations, you [DC] can feel good about being a true fan. In the meantime, SHK and I can feel good about insulating out emotions from the likely suckitude. And if they manage to work their way into pennant race, I'm sure I'll be able to rationalize my way back on the bandwagon.
[SHK, in further response] I would be very happy if the usual suckfest that is the Mets season doesn't appear this year, and they actually played up to expectations. Seeing them return to the playoffs would be exciting.
But I simply have to play the odds here, and the odds say that this starting rotation and lineup aren't going to be good enough or healthy enough to get it done.

Thanks for doing that.
Way more gems there than we've seen on the diamond.

Not sure I'm following you. Are you saying that today's line through 14 innings of Reyes (0-6), Wright (0-4), Bay (0-6) and Francoeur (0-5) is not acceptable?
Another outing where bad basic baseball skills as in not sliding into second base hurt us again. you would figure that somewhere before they get to the majors they might learn the basics
In fairness to Valdes, he was safe on that play.
However, 0 runs through 18 innings, including one against a position player, is rank nonsense.
Mets inability to perform basic fundamentals, like sliding and calling for fly balls, has been killing me over the last few seasons.
Makes no sense. Herry keeps saying that he's always stressing fundies. No comprendo.
