The Week In Review (4/15/07)

Last week in The Week In Review we mentioned that Don Imus made bad jokes (and they weren’t even about nappy headed hoes). This week Don Imus is fired. The Mets ended last week in second place. The Mets end this week in second place. We remembered another Met legend. The Mets opened up the [...] more...

God Intervenes, Saves Mets From Losing Series To Nats

With the Mets bats colder than the surface of Pluto, God decided to intervene today sending a Nor’easter up the east coast raining out today’s Met-Nationals game and preventing the Mets from embarrasingly dropping an early season series to the Gnats(the worst team in baseball). So let us take this sabbath day to pray that [...] more...

"Let’s Go Yankees . . . Yankees Suck!"

We here at The Mets Are Better Than Sex had an opportunity to go to Shea Stadium for our first game of the year last night. Julio Franco had a big hit and the Mets squeaked out a 3-2 victory against the Washington Nationals in minus 40 degree weather. We sat in the picnic area. [...] more...

Why Steve Phillips Is An Idiot, Reason No. 136

Meet Steve Phillips. Of course, if you’re a Met fan you don’t need an introduction. But, if you’re not a Met fan, then know that Steve Phillips was the general manager of the Mets from 1997 until 2003 when he was fired. Currently, Steve Phillips serves as an analyst for ESPN. The thing that we [...] more...

I Heart The Philly Bullpen

It’s official, no game is over when the Philly bullpen is involved. I love it!! They are going to tear that team apart. And with guys like Geoff Geary, Matt Smith, and Jon Lieber holding things down, there’s no serious, um, relief in sight. They may need to get Jimmy Rollins to throw some innings. [...] more...

In Memoriam: Eric Hillman (1992-1994)

We here at The Mets Are Better Than Sex are starting a new feature called “In Memoriam” in which we will take a moment to remember, acknowledge, celebrate, castigate, and otherwise reminisce on former Mets both good and bad, who have contributed to the history of the organization and helped make the Mets what they [...] more...

The Week In Review (4/8/07)

The Mets started out like a freight train. Then fizzled like a stale soda. Atlanta, once again proved to be a thorn in the Mets side. Don Imus made bad jokes. Carlos Delgado made bad errors. We even brought back the “El Duque.” Elsewhere in baseball, Derek Jeter showed signs of aging, the “team to [...] more...

A Letter From Carlos Delgado’s Glove

Hey there! Nice to meet you. I’m Carlos Delgado’s glove. Well, his fielding glove. Don’t get me confused with his batting gloves, those part-time pricks. They don’t do shit, if you ask me. Anyway, I just wanted to reach out to you guys after yesterday’s 5-3 loss to the Braves. I heard from Jose Valentin’s [...] more...

Omar Minaya On Imus: Is This Funny?

Just discovered this running bit they do on the Imus show, where this guy, Rob Bartlett, comes on the show acting like Omar Minaya. Obviously as The Assimilated Negro I’m not one to stick up my nose at some race humor (I think that’s what this is), but I don’t know, I looked a couple [...] more...

There’s A Freight Train A Comin’

What’s that sound you hear? It’s the sound of the Mets juggernaut ripping through the National League in the first four games of the season. Outscoring opponents 31-3. Jose Reyes going a combined 5 for 11 with 7 RBI’s, 4 runs scored and about 38 double plays turned in the past two games. We told [...] more...
