Catcher Brian Schneider, not one of my favorites, cranked a three run bomb to give the Mets a lead late in the game. In the top of the ... http://www.keithsmoustache.com/2009/06/22/the-mets-are-unwatchable/ The weekend couldn't have started any better. I couldn't find someone to go out with, so I instead decided to watch the game at home. It was just as well. The Mets and the Yankees playing AL baseball featuring Livan "Full Count" Hernandez and Joba "Fuller Count" ... http://www.keithsmoustache.com/2009/06/16/a-measured-response-to-a-trainwreck-weekend/ That's the kind of thing that kills a season. http://www.keithsmoustache.com/2009/06/12/luis-castillo/ Tonight's game vs. the Phillies outlines all the reasons that Mets' fans find this team so frustrating. When they come together, there is not a team in the National League that can hang with them. Wright showed flashes of power that he's been missing all year. Carlos ... http://www.keithsmoustache.com/2009/06/10/this-is-the-team-weve-been-waiting-for/ Current Record: 28-21 May Record: 19-9 GB (NL East): 0.5 (Philadelphia) GB (Wildcard): 1 (St. Louis) 1) I've decided that one Citi Field feature I dislike is the 16-foot wall in left field. While it managed to steal four home runs from various right-handed Marlins over a three game series, it pretty much ... http://www.keithsmoustache.com/2009/06/03/10-thoughts-on-the-mets-may-edition/ Scores are for the final game of the series. I stopped doing this because I thought I was jinxing the team. 1) I can't tell you how refreshing it was to see the Mets fans taking a huge chunk of Fenway Park. The Red Sox fans do this everywhere ... http://www.keithsmoustache.com/2009/05/25/10-thoughts-on-new-york-mets-at-boston-red-sox-games-41-42-43/ Current Record: 10-13. GB (NL East): 3.5 (Florida) GB (Wildcard): 2.5 (St. Louis) 1) Jerry Manuel was starting to grow on me. His smallball approach wasn't to the extreme like Willie Randolph's. Willie would have Luis Castillo sac-bunt Jose Reyes over in the first inning. Recently, though, he's ... http://www.keithsmoustache.com/2009/05/03/10-thoughts-on-the-2009-season-april-edition/ 1) Could the Mets hit in to anymore unassisted double plays? It seems like sending the runner automatically translates to double play. It seems like this team is hitting in to brutal luck early in the series. 2) I'm glad to see that Jeff Kent's moustache didn't retire when ... http://www.keithsmoustache.com/2009/04/22/five-thoughts-on-new-york-mets-at-st-louis-cardinals-game-14/ The response to Daniel Murphy's 8th inning error which eventually led to two runs is laughably predictable in the New York media today. Everything from "he's not ready to be a big league player" to "this is a win-now team that can't afford to have a guy learning on ... http://www.keithsmoustache.com/2009/04/22/quick-thoughts-on-mets-cardinals/ Watching Game 11 (the 1-0 win over the Brewers) finally made me realize that it's a new year. Watching Putz and K-Rod put away a 1-0 with no drama and no roller coaster was amazing. I'd forgotten what that could be like. 1) Nelson Figureoa vs. Jeff Suppan has ... http://www.keithsmoustache.com/2009/04/19/10-thoughts-on-milwaukee-brewers-at-new-york-mets-game-12/
