Alright.
Enough about Bobby Valentine.
Pitchers and catchers starting soon enough, and the great thing about baseball is hope springs eternal (unless you are a Pirates or Royals fan) :banana: :banana: :keke:

I heard Brett Butler on radio today. For those of you who didn't yet hear, he was recently signed to be minor league roving coach, and to help Cedeno in spring training.

This interview made me feel good. Butler preached exactly what has been lost. That leadoff hitters only thought should be to take pitches, and get on base. He said (corretly) that a lead off hitter should strive to get a .400 OBP, and try to get at least 8 pitches in his ab. That working the count leads to pitchers tiring, and getting on base starts it all.

Mets had been getting away from that, and Ordonez was worst offender. Maybe they will get it this season.

I thought the It's Bobby Valentine's fault was teh official thread since it is the teams official motto this year. :rofl:

Starting with me early this season, eh Teen?


:blow:

the Mets.... :rofl:

.... the Mets.... :blow:

Mets just signed Cone to a minor league contract.

I hope Coney makes it. If not a starting job then in the bullpen. And it is time to stop blaming Bobby V and let's get this year going.

I just hope they ditch the "Meet the Mets" jingle-it was so much cooler when they took the field to VH's "Everybody Wants Some!"

We got the teamwork to make the dream work, Let's go, LET'S GO, METS GO!!!!!!!

Great opening day. Mets looked good. Glavine was the glavine of old. Great pick ups......Mets picking up where they left off last year.

Yeah, but Burnitz got an RBI hit.....

(OK, I tried REALLY REALLY hard to find something good after spending the day in that frozen Hell)

They scored 2 runs. Vaughn got a hit. That's 2 more positives. :rofl:
