MEET THE METS,
Step right up and greet the Mets!
Bring your kiddies, bring your wife;
Guaranteed to have the time of your life
Because the Mets are really sockin’ the ball;
Knocking those home runs over the wall!
East side, West side, everybody’s coming down
To meet the M-E-T-S Mets of New York town!
Oh, the butcher and the baker and the people on the streets,
where did they go? To MEET THE METS!
Oh, they’re hollerin’ and cheerin’ and they’re jumpin’ in their seats,
where did they go? To MEET THE METS!
All the fans are true to the orange and blue,
So hurry up and come on down –
’cause we’ve got ourselves a ball club,
The Mets of New York town!
Give ’em a yell! Give ’em a hand!
And let ’em know your rootin’ in the stand!
Come on and MEET THE METS, MEET THE METS,
Step right up and greet the Mets!
Bring your kiddies, bring your wife;
Guaranteed to have the time of your life
Because the Mets are really sockin’ the ball;
Knocking those home runs over the wall!
East side, West side, everybody’s coming down
To meet the M-E-T-S Mets of New York town!
Of New York town!
With yesterday’s 1-0 win by Ramirez over the Atlanta Braves I can say, for what is probably the last time this season, that they have a share of the lead in the National League East.
It’s been a bad few seasons with team ownership caught up in the Madoff scandal, a situation that is not yet fully resolved, despite what The Guardian says (you’ll note they still owe in excess of $425 Million). With the loss of Jose Reyes to free agency any objective observer can only call the team weaker. They’ve moved in the fences by as much as 12 feet and lowered them by 8 for no good reason I can think of. It’s not like they’re going to sell the extra 102 seats in what, with tons of luck, will be a .500 season. Perhaps they will not finish at the bottom of the Division and there are worse teams, though not many of them.
It’s the 50th year for the Club and they usually get off to a good Opening Day start, winning in 33 of the past 43 seasons. Only one other time have they done it 1-0.
But Santana is healthy for now, and spring is a time for hope and renewal.
Let’s go Mets!

2-0.
For being traded to your mets, but watching him pitch in his prime was just amazing and I’m jealous you get to see it every fifth day. Wee have a cheap imitation with even more arm troubles in Liriano. He leaned by being around Santana.
And in a cigar store, there was a big picture of a Mets player smoking a fat one. I asked the clerk if he followed the Mets, just a little ribbing, and you would have thought I had slapped his momma.
