Ryan Church Is Anti-Semitic Or Just Ignorant?

I just found out that Ryan Church, the left outfielder for the Mets is an Anti-Semite. I was totally shocked to hear this being that I am Jewish and a huge Mets fan. Also aside from the fact that Antisemitism is ridiculously inappropriate and discrimination should not be tolerated in professional baseball or anywhere for that matter. In 2005 when he played for the Washington Nationals, Church was quoted in the Washington Post, suggesting that Jews are headed for eternal damnation. Apparently, he confronted the baseball chaplain Jon Moeller, asking for advice about his Ex-girlfriend who was Jewish.

"I said, like, Jewish people, they don't believe in Jesus. Does that mean they're doomed? Jon nodded, like, that's what it meant. My ex-girlfriend! I was like, man, if they only knew. Other religions don't know any better. It's up to us to spread the word,"




Of course after he came out with an apology but in truth his words can't be taken back. Being that Church plays for the New York Mets and the vast majority of their fans are Jewish, he's just an idiot. He honestly isn't even that good! Aside from his remark being anti-Semitic, it's absurdly ignorant for him to say that. You can't play for a New York team, one of the most diverse cities out there and be so close-minded. His narrow religious beliefs should not be outspoken and he should go suck it! GET OUT OF NEW YORK! I never liked Church anyways...

The Mets Win 2 out of 3 From Their First Series Games Of The Season

The Mets finished up their 3 game series against the Reds in Cincinnati yesterday, ending with 2-1 in wins/losses. The first game this Monday was cold and windy but Santana, Green, Putz and K-Rod led the Mets to win 2-1. The second game, Pelfrey was shaky right from the beginning of the game, pitching a wopping 44 pitching in just the first inning but was able to get it together and the Mets had another victory leaving the score at 9-7.








The third game was less impressive as Perez was nervous, giving up 5 walks, 5 hits and 8 runs to the Reds over his 4 1/3 innings. Out of the 100 pitches he pitched, 45% of them were balls. Comon Ollie!
















The Mets pitching coach, Dan Warthen said;

"I thought we saw the good Ollie for two innings. We'd just like to see it for five or six,"


Jerry Manuel spoke about Perez's disappointing game:

"I was happy that we saw some glimpses of the old Ollie…Again, this is still an evaluating period, and it is also part of spring. So, I think he’ll be fine. I think there was enough there to say he’ll be OK; he just has to remain consistent and focus for a longer period of time, but that comes with being out there and getting extended. He should be OK… There are probably some things he missed in spring that he’s trying to work out.”


Below is the SNY.tv’s Post Game Extra that shows analysis from Ron, Keith and Gary from their loss to the Reds.




Despite yesterdays loss, winning 2 out of 3 games on the road is still very impressive and shows the mets are in impeccable shape this season. The Mets head down to Miami to play against the Marlins who are 3 for 3 this season and beat us out of the Playoffs last season. The game starts at 7:10 with Maine pitching up against Sanchez. What I'm really excited for is to see Hernandez pitch tomorrow! I'm happy that in the end it's not Pedro pitching. Lets sweep this series and finally have the first game at CitiField (tax-payers field) April 13. LETS GO METS!
