Classic!

Something special just happened.

Billy Wagner just gave up that three-run homerun, eliminating all the positive vibes of Mike Pelfrey beating Brandon Webb, raising questions about Willie Randolph's handling of his pitching staff, and all that good stuff.

And for the first time all year, the Mets losing didn't bother me. It was like the [bad? good? familar?] old days, when I found the Mets' ability to lose amusing, even somehow charming.

After it happened I called Sip, who was at the game. He couldn't really hear me, but we were both cracking up. It was so predictable, so funny, so... Mets.

Bless this team.

Hey A.F.O.M.G.: Whose dinger was more amusing? Reynolds or Beltran?

I really don't know which I would choose.

the only thing that can save this season is the good health of church and alou. otherwise, this team will never be able to hit enough to win more than half the time.

It's hard to understand this. I really can't understand how all of my paranoid moments during these games come true. The worst possible outcome is the inevitable outcome it seems. Since last August.

The home plate umpire can go fuck himself for the record.

This team is positively excruciating.

So if Beltran saved the season yesterday, did Wagner damn it for us today?

Please for the love of god fire willie...this team has no heart, no desire, no confidence, and looks dead...no matter what anyone says, that starts with the manager...this man, like the team, shows no fire...you look at what happened after ozzie guillen went on his little rant ten days ago-7 straight wins...Is willie entirely at fault? obviously not. Does every move he makes backfire? It sure as hell seems like it...This man needs to be fired if we stand a chance, Mets needs a kick up their backside and Willie obviously cannot provide this
