Shaking my head at mets fans who think they will be a good team this year. Mets pitching is average at best. Pedro is a year older and is breaking down. Glavine? Ha Other pitchers not worth mentioning. Yankees pitching showed they can beat good teams... And our hitting dwarfs the mets lineup. If you go from 1 to 9 on both teams lineups yankees are clearly better. Pitching... Yankees are better because of the showings last year this year can only get better. Mets pitching was ok and might get better, but if there is no pedro say bye bye to playoff hopes...< and thats because the nl east is weak. If the mets dont make the playoffs in a weak nl east then they really suck bad. Yankees rule. Mets drool.
I dont know if you can just say the Mets will suck, I think they will be very good this but the Yanks will probably be better
What the hell, the NL East is better then the Al, Nats are good, phillies are good and so is HotLanta Lets compare the mets and Spanks.... Mets Above average Pitching at best if healthy Really good lineup, Beltran will have a great year behind delgado Bullpen good with new additions Yankees Top 2 starters have had major injury problems and are OLD. the others are Wright and Pavano who sucked at best last year and were hurt 80% of the season. the other 2 are young and inexperinced. The Lineup is great, fine i said it. But there is some ouestion marks. (sheffield and giambi ran out of cream) Mariano WAS the best closer but he's also gettting old.
Both the Yankees and Mets suck. The Mets suck because they just do. The Yankees suck because they remind me of breast implants. They just go out and buy things they don't have. They're fake. I hate baseball. Over-paid bunch of whiners. It was the last strike that did me in.........sorry. I do love the Jets though even though they are having their problems, too.
Thanks for the insightful post Roger. You really did wonders for me. How could I ever believe that the Mets had any chance this year!
Roger, You do realize that we(yankee fans) need to worry more about the Red Sox and Blue Jays than the Mets. Right?
Forget waiting for the Yankees & Mets to play each other, blaze. Sig bet. I challenge you. If Mets have a better record than the Yankees, you wear a sig of my choice from the end of the regular season until pitchers & catchers of the next season (2007). If both make the playoffs, then it goes to whichever team goes farther. If the Yankees have a better record than the Mets, I wear a sig of your choice from the end of the regular season until pitchers & catchers of the next season (2007). Deal? Back up your talk with a bet, big man.
I wouldn't say they suck 28rogerblaze51. However they are not a playoff team 80-83 wins should be the number. Yes it's got to be sad to a Met fan that they still can't make the playoffs but there not the Royals here.
Unless you are certain there will be massive Jets-like injuries, what makes you think the Mets will be worse than they were in 2005?
yanks pitching not geyying old? are f-in serious. big bird hasnt done anything to earn that money. brown? yeah ok, hes not old and injury prone. moose, el stinko, oh yeah , old overpaid BIG time. they dont scare anyone anymore. yanks watch out for jays this year, yu'll see. ok,you can get off your knees now yank fans , i think jeter came already.
Mariano "was" the best closer? How did he do last season? Who was the comeback player last year? Sheff?!?
I like to bust on the mets with the fans here,but the truth is I like to see them do well. I'm not really a hater. I think they will do very well this year. But you clowns that doubting the strength of the Yankees this year are ridiculous. Hate all you want,but don't let it get in the way of truth. Yankees are built very,very strong this year.
The Yankees are the Yankees, I can't say they aren't good, but when your starters are 43 year old Randy, Chen Meng Wang, Aaron Small, that latin guy they got from Colorado (forgot his name), and Moose who is iffy............I don't know how one can be supremely confident. The Sox did add Beckett and have those two young hard throwers in the bullpen that are very good.
