I just hope the mets don’t trade R.A. Because right now he’s no 1 on the mets pitching staff, the mets do need a pitcher for down the stretch and one more arm in the pen, trade bay if they can cause we need right hand pop in the line up, we are leaving too many men on base again and we need to pick up those runs. Even a bunt to try is better than striking out. Pickup a vet cather with some pop too would not hurt.

What a freakin crime. These players really have their nerve having some fun. Thank goodness there are people here who put them in their place!!!!!

The pies to the face are a joke and not funny.

I don’t like them either, I was hoping that RA would not get “pied” when being interviewed but it showed up and I’m one that is tired of this.
Respect the moments when RA and No Han do their thing, if you want to continue it with the younger ones, I bet Turner couldn’t reach up to Young’s face to pie him!

I like Turner but enough is enough, David needs to quietly ask him to pick his moments.

I say start RA for 2-3 innings then bring in Cain, Strassberg, whomever cause they will have an advantage after RA’s dancing knuckle ball plus winning the ASG is important so I think, as TC has done in some series he starts RA and sets up other team to re adjust to regular pitches.

I want to make a guess that you were born sometime before 1970?

I could care less about the pies. Let them have fun and stop over analyzing everything. A major flaw of the “baby boomer generation”

MNJ — You’re a wise man who is thinking out of the box. I agree with you but I just don’t feel strongly about the practice. I guess it’s just an example of ‘boys will be boys, and sometimes men will be boys.’

If we have gotten to the point where a point is being made about seeing too many pie in the face celebrations then the Mets must be doing well so I hope this continues to be a point of contention all season long.

LGM!

I don’t like the pies either – enough already.

There’s a few weeks yet left to play before the ASG. Dickey should be a shoe in for the NL staff. As far as starting, If he dominates in his next few starts the honor should go to him. No matter when he comes in to pitch though, I don’t envy the catcher behind the plate. It’s not going to be either one of ours…..hope they know what they’re doing trying to catch that knuckleball.

Pies are kids’ stuff but we have bigger issues to deal with. If we never had another pie, or if we continually have them, so be it.

Agreed wholeheartedly with the two of you. What are we, the Yankees? Quit the childish cream pie shit!

i agree, i thought it was totally disrespectful of Turner to hit Santana with a pie during such a historic Mets moment. I like Turner but if I was Santana i would have turned around and smacked him in the back of his head on National TV if he did that to me.

I’m sick of the stupid pies too how about celebrating like professionals.

I hate those cream pies and they ruined Johan Santana’s moment in the spotlight with one when he threw the no-hitter. Now the only pictures of him celebrating the Mets first no-hitter look like he just came out of a Roman Orgy during the rein of Caligula.
