2006 Is Our Year!

We look marvelous. What else can I say? This is a Met Fan's Dream Team. So I know we're just four games into the season, but I really don't have much in the complaint department. I like the lineup. Happy to see Anderson Hernandez at second base - and I'm confident he'll find his swing. Frankly, with his amazing defense and the lineup we have, if he can manage to hit .250, I'm happy with that. Who'd have thought Xavier Nady would be such an offensive juggernaut? I clearly remember bitching and moaning on this very blog the day the Mets traded away Mike Cameron for Nady. Boy, was I pissed. Now, not so much. Welcome to New York, Mr. Nady. Decent defense, nice bat, and easy on the eyes. Has anyone else noticed that we have a team full of extremely good looking men?

My only complaints so far are minor. I don't like the new batting helmets. I especially dislike the two-color ones that start out black in the back and are this pearly blue in front. Is this baseball, or Nascar? One solid color, please. That's all I ask. The other annoyance occured last night. Fans who STILL insist on chanting "Yankees Suck" during the game. That is so ridiculous, so embarrassing, and so incredibly LAME. Stop it! Stop it now! I also was not too happy with the plunk-fest against the Nats the other night. If I were a Nats fan, I would have been pretty pissed at how the umps handled that game. I like that Pedro likes to pitch inside. But if your control is off, and you hit more than two guys, I think you ought to get tossed. Even if you're hitting guys unintentionally (and let's be honest - we all know Guillen was hit on purpose).

That's all I have for now. Game two against those poor Marlin babies today. Let's Go Mets!
