If it wasn't for bad luck....

....The Mets would have no luck at all. What else is going to happen to this team? Besides the injuries and horrible replacements, they hit into an unassisted triple play to end yesterday's game. Granted that this is the first time in a few years they have been out of contention at this point in the season, but It still stinks.

Jets

Meant to write this yesterday.
All I will say is, Sanchez looks phenominal. Yes he only played one series, but to come out throwing a bomb on his first ever pass in the NFL...albeit pre-season...and to have a nice drive was very impressive. I hope he beats Clemens in the QB competition. I thing the Jets will be more successful.

Jets/Mets

Well, Friday starts the pre-season for the Jets. The QB situation is still way up in the air. Whoever is in there, I hope they fare better than that guy that played last year. What was his name again.....oh yeah...Fav-re. And to all the people who bought Favre Jet jerseys last year, I can only answer a la Nelson from the Simpson's.........HA-ha!!
As far as the Mets, they are done. I would rather them do what they did the last 2 seasons than play like they are playing now. No heart.

Sports Stuff

Well, the Mets looked like they were starting to do something to possibly have a shot at the wild card, but are now back to 7 1/2 games behind. No consistency at all.

On a brighter side, Jets football training camp opened up starting the Rex Ryan era.
Of course a big issue is who will play QB. It is way to early to speculate whether Clemens or Sanchez will be the one. One thing should be good. The defense. All this remains to be seen, but at least football is back.

Baseball seems done...at least for us Met fans...ugh.

Paul McCartney

I saw Paul at Citi Field Saturday. The way the Mets are playing, this is probably the best thing to happen there all year. However he was awesome! He did about 80% Beatle songs, Wings and other stuff, and rocked the place out. He still looks and sounds great. The cherry on the sundae so to speak, was as we were walking back to the car, we had to wait for the tour bus to pass us by, and Paul was in front waving to everybody. THAT WAS COOOOOL!!

And now for the 2nd half.....

Okay fellow Met fans, the second half of the season starts today. Hopefully we can get Beltran and Reyes back real soon....and Delgado....no one knows for sure when. And maybe they can get on a roll.
Plus Pedro Martinez is now on Philadelphia. I won't make any disparaging remarks, but whenever a player from a NY team signs with a rival...well....it sometimes get interesting. That is all I will say.

Yecch!!

The Mets were swept by the Phillies and are now 4 games out of 1st place. The Dodgers are next. I am going 7/9. Unless an amazing turnaround happens and their bats get hot, I guess the only thing I can look forward to is booing Manny Ramierez!!
