Galaxy .500

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 26 2010 02:17 PM

Mike Vaccaro's column in the Post today ([url]http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/mets/amazin_ly_average_N3VyhCrGXUA4ZQW3kLoJRM) reminded me of the 2005 season when we faced historic mediocrity for a Mets team -- 27 separate points at .500, most ever. This year we came from nowhere to shoot up the list to 3rd overall at 19 points, and last night's loss set the all-time record for contiguous points at .500 with 11. In other words, starting at 53-53, then being 54-54, 55-55 and so on to our current mark of 63-63. The old record was set by the 2005ers who were 37-37 up to 46-46.

Bucket , am I reading your list correctly over at mbtn.net , 2005 the Mets were a .500 team at various points in the season 27 times......and down near the bottom of you list is 2006 where it only happened one time? that's some turn around. Nice work

I remember discussing 2005 as the .500liest season ever.

I wrote this in 2005: When we win one, yes you know you're gonna see, You're gonna see us get shut out a game or two When we lose one, don't get too melancholy Cuz you know we'll win the next game just for you Cliff will hit one, in the tenth and jump for glee And you'll be feeling really great about our crew Then we'll go west, and we'll lose two out of three To a last place team cuz that is what we do And we will play 500 ball Because we are a 500 team We will win one, lose one, all year long We'll make you smile, we'll make you scream When we're winning, yes I know it's such a tease Cuz when Pedro's on there's nothing we can't do When we're losing, we keep piling up the E's And leave you feeling really frustrated and blue When you come home(When you come home), when you turn on that TV You don't know which team will show up to play for you And if you grow old, you know what it's gotta be you know this team is prematurely aging you And we will play 500 ball Because we are a 500 team We will win one, lose one, all year long We'll make you smile, we'll make you scream fa la la fa la la Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da Da fa la la fa la la Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da Da

Sparkling. Really, I just wish I had a schedule. Because I'd hat these guys-- and myself-- a lot less if I didn't pay to attend, say, 14-1 drubbings or not-quite-walkoffs.

Funny, I don't remember the 2005 season's treading water act anywhere near as much as this season's incarnation has frustated me.

It was around this point in 2005 where we pulled up ahead of 500 by a few games and hovered there till the year ended. What's crazy about this year is having been 11 games over at one point and twice having win streaks of 8+ games, and still being so 500ish.

I don't recognize the song from that parody. Link, please, to the real one. Later

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM0sTNtWDiI Only song I know that maturely discusses the important but delicate issue of havering.

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 07:11 AM Re: Galaxy .500

Keep in mind that some of us have laid out a C-note on this team.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 11:09 AM Re: Galaxy .500

"Some of us?" Like, multiple CPFers?

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 11:13 AM Re: Galaxy .500

Rogers and I. That's two.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 11:32 AM Re: Galaxy .500

Was that from that one thread where Rawjahs went all ape-poopy playing devil's advocate and everyone ended up piling on?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 08 2010 11:43 AM Re: Galaxy .500

That one?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 11:49 AM Re: Galaxy .500

He brought up a Met enemy (maybe an MFY) as an example of some positive trait, then did a little self-loathing-Met-fan softshoe for a bit? You know the one I mean.

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 11:50 AM Re: Galaxy .500

Oh, right, then he dug up the malicious history of villianous Mets that the rest of us all whitewash. See if you can find that one.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 08 2010 11:52 AM Re: Galaxy .500

Then there was that time he mistook the CPF for a call-in program on WFAN.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 12:00 PM Re: Galaxy .500

Yeah, yeah... and then there were some accusations of our not wanting to hear/shutting out negative voices re: the Mets or Wilpons. That one time.

Chris Farley: O-kay.. remember.. you remember when you were with The Beatles, and you were supposed to be dead, and, uh, there was all these clues, that, like, uh, you played some song backwards, and it'd say, like, "Paul Is Dead", and, uh, everyone thought that you were dead? That was, um, a hoax, right? Paul McCartney: Yeah. I wasn't really dead. Chris Farley: Right.
