Metal Mets

O METAL MIKE, WHERE ART THOU?

 Thursday, September 25th, 2008 at 11:18am by

And this is what happens when Axl’s hungover ass is late to the MetalSucks Mansion; Vince watches Mets highlight reels all morning long. Kind of like how Axl will surely watch Stanley Kubrick films all day long when I’m out on my joy ride tomorrow.

Ah, Metal Mike. The glory days of Metsdom. When one majestic swing could instantly change the fate of a game and turn everything around. When this team had hope, energy and enthusiasm. When John Franco would come in and shut the door (well, ok, maybe not). Carlos Delgado is a hero for 2008… But Metal Mike, he is not. D-Wright is the great white hope, but he lacks the flair. Jose, Jose, Jose is the closest thing we’ve got, but he too lacks the charisma and class when he throws temper tantrums on the field. So let’s retire #31 already; shall we?

Sigh. 2008 seems hopeless, doesn’t it? I mean, it’s not ever yet… But really, it is. Why even watch? This is too excruciating and heartbreaking to bother.

    That game last night was fucking awesome.

    Fuck you. I’m a Padres fan. They’ve got to finish 2-2 to avoid 100 losses. They have a star pitcher who went 9-11 with the 2nd best ERA in the league. So fuck you.

    Everyone who bitches here doesn’t even know what it’s like to be a Seattle fan.

    Chicago Cubs all the way

    @Joe, actually I am a Seattle football fan, so I do know some pain this year with the top SIX wide receivers falling to injury. But yeah, the M’s just paid $1 million for each loss. And the Supes left with a dickhead carpetbagger.

    fuck the cubs. that is the most crooked organization ever. They dont invest anything in the team, just in advertising and the ballpark, because they know they will always have a rabid fanbase no matter how poorly the team does.

    And the Twins might just make the playoffs. I guess that Santana deal was good for us after all.

    I hate being right all the time.

    Anyone know what it’s like to be a sports fan in Philadelphia? As in, 25 years and no major title to bring home? After years of disappointments?

    The Phillies are gonna take the east, but ain’t gonna make it very far the way they’ve been playing lately….losing to the fucking Braves, for fucks sake.

    @Carter, Cubs have the 8th highest payroll in the Leauge this year, so they do spend money on players. But i 100% agree that a huge percent of cubs fans are posers who don’t actually follow the team until shit gets real at the end of the season. As I’m writing this Cubs and Mets are tied, but we’re already in the playoffs, but i would love for the Cubs to contribute to another legendary Mets late season collapse.

    As a Mets fan, man we are sucking more and more this year! Damnit!
