Blobbers Please Help

Mets Blob urges Blobbers to help stop animal abuse.

Forcing this dog to wear a Wright jersey is just wrong.

Normally Mets Blob is full of jokes about the NY Mets, the players, and the Wilpons. And though the photo above may at a quick glance seem like a set up for a big joke, it's not. In reality, it's a terrible form of animal abuse that hopefully all of us can help bring to an end.

Her name is Coffee. Many of us have seen her outside of Citi Field and Yankee Stadium in cute getups.  She is almost  always found in a fixed seated position with a pipe in her mouth and a plastic panhandling jug. We have even seen her in the opening of a Met game telecast on SNY. We've heard Gary Cohen chuckle and say, "How do they get that dog to do that?" Gary is a good man with a big heart, and if he knew the truth about Coffee and how her heartless dirtbag owner gets her to do that, he wouldn't be laughing. 

At first glance, a dog hanging out on a nice day and dressed in a team jersey doesn't appear to be that bad. People think it's funny, and kids find it cute. Maybe nobody thinks twice about it, and throws a dollar in the plastic jug. But Coffee's book reads darker than the cover. What most are not seeing is the shock collar hidden under Coffee's bandana. If she moves off her set spot, she gets a quick zap from a remote control, and she quickly goes back to holding her place without food, water, or rest for hours on end.

In this photo, you can see that Coffee is able to hold the pipe in her mouth because her teeth have been removed. The device seen in the dirtbag owner's left hand is the remote to the shock collar.

From "The Sky Mall catalog for the Sick and Twisted," the evil, yet basic set up for the shock collar.

   

PLEASE HELP COFFEE

We all wish for Coffee to be free from her abusive owner and live out the rest of her life with love and kindness without having to get electrically shocked ever again to earn a buck for an inhumane, soulless scumbag.

Please sign the online petition and join the Facebook movement to help free Coffee from her suffering.

The Fred Wilpon Interview

"Jose, I have no money for you. But if you keep you're elbow there, maybe we can talk."

Leave it to Freddy "Fed Pen" Wilpon to kick his own team in the nuts. Mets Blob & fans across the tri-state area wonder where is the line between a no nonsense owner and a knuckle head? Fred Wilpon explores it in this New Yorker interview entitled Madoff's Curveball.

Yankees 9 – Mets 3

Meltdown Mike Pelfrey fell apart in the 7th inning today and everyone saw it coming except Terry Collins. After Gardner snuck a single through Pelf’s legs to start the inning, Pelfrey huffed and puffed like a petulant child on the mound. He was done. At this point Collins should have bolted from the bench and dragged Mike by the ear to the dugout. Collins never moved. Pelfrey, as expected, walked Chris Dickerson. Here comes Terry, right? Wrong. Collins remained frozen in the dugout. Pelfrey proceeds to almost kill Francisco Cervelli, who was trying to sacrifice, by throwing a pitch at his face.


Mets Blob is all for drilling the obnoxious, Bush League, Italian import but this was hardly the time. Terry Collins must have sprinted to the mound at this point, right? No, Terry wanted more proof that Mike Pelfrey wanted out of this game. Pelfrey obliged with a room service, first pitch, fastball to Derek Jeter. Jeter, of course, has made a career of jumping on fat, first pitch, fastballs from mentally frail pitchers. Mike Pelfrey has made a career of melting down in big spots. Derek Jeter is headed to the Hall of Fame. Mike Pelfrey is headed to the Brewers to pitch middle relief.


Missed Opportunities




Ivan Nova did not have his best stuff today and the Mets failed to take advantage. The bases were packed with Mets all game but the Amazins’ only plated three runs. Jason Bay hit two, Felix Millan, ground ball singles. Sorry Jason, your act is wearing thin - Ivan Nova is not Roy Halladay. Mets Blob hopes you are not happy with your “please let me make contact and not get embarrassed” swings.


California Here We Come















  The Mets announced after the game that David Wright is headed to California to get a legitimate second opinion on his injured back. Good move David. Mets Blob recommends getting as far away from The Hospital for Especially Wrongheaded Diagnosis as possible.

PRE GAME-NEWS & THE LINEUP

INFO BY MICHAEL BARON & REALITY FROM METS BLOB ON MAY 22, 2011

This morning at Yankee Stadium, Terry Collins spoke with reporters, and said he expects Angel Pagan to return sometime this week. Yesterday, Collins said Pagan would head to Buffalo to finish his rehabilitation assignment, but said today he has to go to Puerto Rico to attend to a family situation instead. 
When Mets Blob needs to rehab it usually involves Dr. Drew not a trip to Puerto Rico. Often the rehab is set off by a trip to Puerto Rico. Mets Blob hopes Angel and his family are well.

In addition, Collins basically said the following:

• Ronny Paulino will get more playing time, as Josh Thole needs to work on some things.

Basically...Josh needs to work on learning how catch a baseball and learning how to hit a baseball. Thole right now looks overmatched by playing baseball in the show.

• Ike Davis still hasn’t started running, so it’s unclear whether he will be able to return from the disabled list when he is eligible on May 26. Nothing funny about this just sad as we enter a another game with Bay batting in the 4 hole. Ike! Please come back! IKE!


Here is today's lineup complete with more dead zones than your cell phone coverage!


1. Jose Reyes – SS

2. Daniel Murphy – 1B

3. Carlos Beltran – DH

4. Jason Bay – LF • DEAD ZONE

5. Fernando Martinez – RF

6. Justin Turner – 2B

7. Willie Harris – 3B • DEAD ZONE

8. Ronny Paulino – C

9. Jason Pridie – CF

~ Jason Bay, speaking to reporters after last night’s game

“I actually know what I need to do – It’s just a matter of doing


 it…I just have to get back to what I did my whole life, what


got me here…There are two or three things that have to


happen [with my swing], but regardless of what I do or how I


stand, somewhere between changing it all and struggling 


last year, I forgot about that.”


Really Jay Bay? That's great. Take your time and your 65 mil.


and shove it up the 5 things I can tell are wrong with you and


your swing from my living room. A hard worker...would 


have worked this out by now.

Yankees 7 – Mets 3

Mets Play Game Without a Cleanup Hitter

A.J. Burnett was about to unravel early tonight. Reyes, Murphy and Beltran loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning for the cleanup hitter! A ball in the gap or a Grand Slam would have buried the fragile Burnett. Sorry, Mets Blob forgot - the Mets played the game without a cleanup hitter. A cleanup hitter strides to the plate looking to do damage. A cleanup hitter stares the wounded pitcher down and puts fear in his heart. A cleanup hitter means business. Instead, Mets Fans were treated to the sight of Jason Bay wandering to the plate with his head down like he was searching for loose change. Bay looked more than half-asleep tonight.

Terry Collins should have called timeout and ordered a Double Espresso for Bay from Corlis, the hot Yankee Hostess that works the first base boxes.

Yankee hostess Corlis with Wfan's Boomer and Carton. Nice to see Boomer hasn't lost his NFL grip.

Sure it would have run him about $37.50 but it might have been worth the investment. Maybe the caffeine jolt would have added a few feet to the pop fly Bay lofted to Swisher in medium right field. Sure, Reyes tagged up and scored but Murph had no chance to advance from second to third.

Justin Turner got the 2^nd Mets run home with a two out hit but what could have been a big inning was destroyed by Jason Bay. Jason Bay has killed the Mets all year. He killed the Mets again tonight. Mets Blob wonders why Jason Bay gets a free pass in New York. George Foster and Bobby Bonilla were never this bad and they were killed in the press and booed mercilessly. It seems pretty black and white to us.

The rest of the game comes down to Chris Capuano who got lit up by the Yankees, yielding four homeruns. Chris has given the Mets all he has. It just wasn’t his night.

Jose Reyes had three more hits. Reyes leads Major League Baseball in base hits and multi-hit games. He also continues to play Gold Glove shortstop.

Mets Blob would like to put in a wakeup call for Sandy “No-Money Ball” Alderson:

“HEY SANDY, YEAH YOU IN THE KHAKI PANTS AND THE SMUG EXPRESSION. METS BLOB SAYS WAKEUP AND SIGN JOSE REYES.”

Pedro Beato set a Mets record going 18.2 innings without giving up an earned run. Pedro spoke earlier in the week about how much he hates the Yankees. Mets Blob digs Pedro Beato.

* Turner's RBI today broke a Met record for rookies. It was his 7th consecutive game with a RBI. Thank you Justin.

Moon Unit Mike goes for the series win Sunday @ 1:05pm

Carter, diagnosed with brain tumors

 

Mets Blob sadly reports that Hall of Famer and Met great Gary Carter has been diagnosed with four tumors on his brain. Our thoughts and prayers go out to "Kid" and his family.

 Read Carter's full story at ESPN NY

Let's win the series today!

GAME 2 @ 7:10pm

Enjoy the Welcome Chris Capuano video one more time. It's a little dated, but the message is the same. "We really, really, really need you Chris." Let's hope Chris has a good game and A.J. has one of his classic A.J. meltdowns.
