With no Mets baseball today I figured I would share some of my random thoughts.

• This whole booing Johan Santana thing, as much as I hate it, it has received way to much play. It’s not like this is unique in this town. I know I can name plenty of athletes who were undeserving booed. The best example for me, is Patrick Ewing, he was booed at “The Worlds Most Famous Arena” for at least 10 years, disgracefully. So, lets not make this a “Mets Fans” thing, ok?

• I blogged the other day about Carlos Delgado’s nice start at the plate and in the field. I wrote about how I hoped he would keep it up and have a monster season. Well, of course the very next day he goes out and pops up in a crucial spot late in the game with the bases loaded and lets a ball pop out of his glove, Brian Schneider style, that lead to an unearned run. I think I’ll keep quiet about Carlos’s play for awhile. Don’t want to be a jinx.

• Mets Blog Matt Cerrone blogged about some fans at Shea doing a unique type Wave when Angel Pagan comes to the plate. Something from the movie “Angels in the Outfield”. I have never seen the movie but I love when the Shea faithful come up with original stuff ie the K corner for Doc and the Coneheads for David Cone. Keep it up guys. Fun stuff.

• I am sick of reading and hearing about last year’s collapse. The press/media will not let it go. The Daily News Vic Ziegel based a major part of his column on it today. So, anytime the Mets blow a lead it will be connected to last season, UHG, this annoys me to no end. I understand that yesterday’s lose can bring with it some negativity but this is a new season. In Ziegal’s column David Wright is quoted saying “Last year had nothing to do with getting guys in scoring position, Not making good pitches doesn’t have anything to do with last year.” Amen David, don’t let someone else’s negativity, whether it be boos or the press get in your head. Oh, and if you think the press/media is not being overly negative checkout how Ziegal ended his column:

The Mets’ last serious threat came in the eighth, bases loaded out, two out, Carlos Delgado batting, the crowd on its feet. He hit a really high pop-up that came down in the right fielder’s glove.

Disappointed? Disgusted? Somebody threw those words at Delgado.

“About what?” he answered.

So, Vic thats the only thing Delgado said in the clubhouse after the game? He said “About what?” and went home? Well that’s the impression left, and that is just wrong.

• Going to go out on a high note here. Yesterday while I was going through the pre-game notes I noticed this from the Elias Sports Bureau. David Wright who just turned 25 this past December is one of only eight players in their first three big league seasons to hit at least .300, hit 25 homeruns or more and have at least 100 RBI’s while under the age of 25. The others: Joe Dimaggio, Albert Pujols, Mel Ott, Jimmie Fox, Ted Williams, and Miguel Cabrera. That is awesome company.
