  Parnell did a great job out there tonight and they showed a stat after the game which illustrated how dominant he has been in his last seven games. Hopefully he continues to pitch like this and that he finally took the next step in his development. He could still be a good setup man for us in the future if he pitches like this.

  I tip my cap to Collins and the Mets on getting to .500 finally! And doing it without their two middle of the order hitters!!! Outstanding job by Collins, what a difference from that clown Jerry Manuel! Lets Go Mets!

  Not only are we .500 in mid June, but the team has been a joy to watch this season. Instead of seeing a bunch a guys with no emotion playing half heartedly (09 and 10), we actually get to watch inspired baseball. And Collins deserves a ton of credit for that. Dare I say, this feels like an actual team.

  Mets make their own thunder inbetween rain in Atlanta. Read about reaching the peak of Mount .500 at Midwestern Met: tiny.cc/t6ixg

  Before mid season Terry Collins leads his team into the top half of the standings – Has there ever been a group like this? – You’ve got to believe, the believers are ahead here!

  collins make sure that despite the injuries guys keep playing, i give him credit for that, he’s make sure to let reyes loose and do what he does best, the pitching has been good, everyone is been a big part of this team, but let’s not get complacent here, let’s go for the sweep and keep on playing this way, dickey will give us a solid effort today and we will win.. let’s go mets!!!

  btw, JOSE REYES MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Terry Collins is doing a helluva job with this team.

  Dont look now my friends, but we are on the verge os sweeping the Braves at Turner Field. We’ve beaten their top two starters to take the first two. Lets Go Mets!
• Metstheory22 June 16, 2011 at 8:53 am

  .500 and in third place now. Things are looking up. Still need some power but we’ll take a win anyway we can get it.
• alex68 June 16, 2011 at 9:43 am

  as collins said, we need to STAY HERE.. i hope they don’t get complacent and laid an egg, go out and beat up this minor guy, prove you belong guys..
  davis at first base along with reyes and tejada up the middle gives us a great infield defensively…
  • Metstheory22 June 16, 2011 at 9:47 am

    Agree 86, strong up the middle, power in the corners and good starting pitching will get you wins.
    • alex68 June 16, 2011 at 10:13 am

      if everyone is healthy, and produces up to par, our offense can be much better, and if our pitching hold up we can be in contention all year..

  3 1/2 back in Wild Card race.

  Who’s being traded? Who are they letting go? what, who, trades.

  I really couldn’t care any less about that type of talk and have tried to stay clear of it for awhile because I’m too buys wondering who they can get to GET BETTER if they continue to remain in the race.

  We’re in the hunt. I want to be buyers not sellers

    bayonne:

    would you buy an ace to sell wright+pelfrey+prospect???
    • Bayonne Mets Fan June 16, 2011 at 11:04 am

      I would try to get a good pitcher with Wright and a prospect and try to hold onto Pelfrey right now. Also as much as I want Wright gone you also have to be sure that we do have adequate production from 3B. Turner’s been out for a couple games but I think is back today so this is important because although Turner was in a little funk I want to see if Turner can continue to give us timely hitting over the next couple weeks and if he’s able to do that and look like he is ready to take the position over then i’d probably pull the string.

      I just have to be sure Turner can replace him. If Turner continues to slide than you have to hold onto Wright.

  We need to sweep ‘em; keep the boot heel on their neck!

  Biggest thing to come out of this series other than the pitching is the Mets are finally winning in that House of Horrors, Turner Field.
  If they win the last game then I believe that when they come in late summer for an important game or two that the fact that they at least took the series will mean a lot especially for the young players.
  We beat Jurjeins for the 2nd time, he had Mets number in past and Hudson, great achievement.

  Gee continues to show Mets and teams, who now know he loves to wk off his change that he deserves to be in rotation.
  The fact that he doesn’t blow batters away if irrelevant for a pitcher like Gee.

  By the way anyone notice that during his post game presser Gee sounded like the “Godfather”?

  Maybe not with flash, other than running the bases, Mets are showing that they can score w/o the HR and this puts a lot of pressure on other teams.
  Lets get the BP going also and then Mets can go on winning stretch against the upcoming AL teams.

  Props to Bay for his play in LF and his t2 hits and SB, it’s a start.
  • Bayonne Mets Fan June 16, 2011 at 12:22 pm

    You’re right! That’s hilarious! Gee does sound like Brando in the Godfather! LOL

  No one will take Wright in a trade until he proves his back is not a long term problem.
