Mr. So Unclutch
An article by Russell Zanca
Man, that David Wright stinks!
Even so, he did go three for three, and gave us key ribbies tonight, including driving in the game winner!
Metsies beat the Giants 7-4.
Doesn’t it feel great when we beat our parents–GIants and Dodgers! As Mets fans know, we don’t play these teams especailly well when we go out to Californy, so it’s great to get this one under our belts.
The Giants don’t hit well, but their pitching is very good. Tonight we faced their weakest link and got to him. We pummeled their closer, too. All in all, very nice.
Mets pitching was so-so; kind of unfair, actually, that Parnell (who didn’t pitch well tonight) gets the win. Essentially, he burned up Maine’s decent 6 2/3 innings of effective gamesmanship by allowing tow runs in the eighth. Fortunately, he battled through and kept SF from scoring more.
John Maine wasn’t great, but he did pitch well.
Cora had some problems at short, but he is a smart player and this was his first start there in quite a while.
Overall, a pretty well played game by the Mets. Yes, we did leave ten runners on, but we got 12 hits and we got the timely hitting that we needed.
Big win in our first game of a tough roadtrip.
DWright is golden.
Sheff, incidentally, very impressive tonight as well. Love to see him intimidate the opposition and contribute to our team.
Let’s get Lincecum!

And the writers on this site continue to eat their words. When Reyes starts tomorrow and he has a good game, kiss his butt too and dont tell him to “grow up”.
Mr. Met is right, like always.
Mr. Met, get a new nick already, you’re always belly aching. You never comment anything positive and just act like a grumpy ass. Even when there’s a positive post, there you are spreading cheer.
“Always Belly aching”? Thats my 2nd post EVER on this site so get your facts straight. All I’m saying is when ever a key player has a minor slump, the writers on this site jump all over them and label them as “immature” “unclutch” “not cutting it” “waste of money” ect ect, people need to realize reyes is 25 years old, he’s only going to get better, and the things he does stands out more is because derek jeter, NY’s short stop is fading before our eyes. Reyes has alot to live upto way to quick. Welcome to New York.
Thanks for commenting and we appreciate it. You are one of at least three Mr. Mets that I know of, and one of them is quite the obnoxious poster. So please don’t take no offense. Devin, thanks for the defense, but this isn’t the guy you think it is, different IP.
Looks like I missed a good one. I’m glad to see Wright finally coming around and being ready to carry this team a little.
Mr. Met has a big head he cant help it sometimes. lol
I promise to break the mold on Reyes: After kissing his butt, I’ll tell him to grow up.
CAPSLOCK=DISABILITY ACCOMODATION
RUSSELL, DON’T BE UPSET IF HE REPLIES, “YOU FIRST!”
THINK ABOUT THIS, JUST AS OMAR WANTED, REYES HAS BEEN HENDERSONIZED BT THE NEWEST HOFer. NEXT JOSE WILL BE REFERRING TO HIMSELF IN THIRD PERSON, LMAO.NOT ONLY DID HE LEARN WHAT TO DO FROM RICKEY, HE ALSO GOT HOW & WHY TO OMAR’S CHAGRINE, I’M CERTAIN.
Full “Hendersonization” takes place when JR talks to his bats, saying “Which one of you MFers is gonna get me a hit?”
I’m so glad a .333 w/RISP is “finally” coming around………..
