[Kyle]

I'd like to congratulate you Mets fans...I'm sure it's been a long time coming for you guys.


Don't get me wrong, though...I'm only doing this because as Jimmy so elequently put this morning it's a necessary preface for the fact that I'll be the first one here to scream "faggots!" when they get bounced.

Nevertheless, congrats!

[IDontCare05]

I just caught the encore...

did everyone see the two signs with wow stickers on them? In the 9th inning there was one held by Lee alongside myself and then the other one was held by danny's brother with two stickers on them. We were very proud they made the air... :)

[cosmic cow]

THAT WAS MY SIGN!!!!

It made tv!!!


From the mets website....Here's the sign and all of us.

I was sitting at the First base line about 10 rows back from the dugout. Awesome fucking seats....awesome fucking game.....I hope someone screencap the sign. Oh yeah the kid who held it up in from of the camera was Josh.


Oh yeah LOTS more pictures from the game to come tomorrow!!!!!


I saw you on TV twice in the 9th inning. At the beginning of the inning I saw someone else with another sign with 1 WOW sticker...nice to see

[Towelie]

Glavine and Trax dominant on back to back nights with the C team out there

How can we not roll through the NL?

[TurboDan]

The WOW sign was awesome. It was on more than twice, as it was shown after the game ended as well as twice during the 9th. It also made a replay that was shown late at night during a segment showing various shots of the fans. I was thinking that one of the SNY guys must have been a fan of the show. The cool thing was that they played the O&A commercial a couple times, coincidentally right before the sign was shown.

As for tonight...

8 innings from Galvine tonight with the decision... our "B team" beats the fish. Can't wait for the postseason.

Only thing that will suck is that no more Gary, Keith, and Ron. We have to deal with ol' McCarver on FOX.

TV on, volume off. Radio on 660 :)

[Fred Told Me]

You probably won't see McCarver on a consistent basis till the World Series. I'm sure he and Buck will be doing the ALCS, and most of the Division Series games are on ESPN.

nice head, deek!

I saw you before I knew it was you and got all excited.

[Mother Shucker]

What is the deal with playoff tix?

I just bought four upper deck reserve seats in section 12 row D for game five. I got those ticketfast tix, that they send you a pdf file and you print at home.

Here is my question. I just noticed on the tickets that it says "no refunds" on it, with no further info. They can not take your money, have no game (if it ends in 3 or 4), and not give you a refund, can they? I know they rip you off every way they can now, but that seams a bit harsh, no? I would be pissed if I have to eat a $220 lesson in life.

The Mets could do things differently, but I know I bought presale playoff tickets for the Phillies in 2003. They didn't make it, so the team refunded them.

I think the 'no refund' on your tickets means you can't call them up tomorrow and decide you want to exchange them and get your cash back. If there's no game, they'll probably refund you.

However, none of these bastards refund service charges if the the team doesn't end up playing the games you bought tickets for. That's a $40 life lesson I learned a couple years ago.

[Fred Told Me]

This team is really starting to piss me off right now. They are sleepwalking through these final weeks. If they think they are just going to magically turn it on next week, they may have another thing coming. The rest of the National League isn't going to say "Hey Mets, you guys dominated the NL this year, we are going to lay down and let you guys represent the league in the World Series". Not happening. They better fuckin' wake up and start playing good baseball.

They suck something major right now. I dont care how easily they made it into the playoffs, if they dont start playing better and QUICK, they wont make it past the first round.

Wake up boys!

[Towelie]

God this season is boring

These last games mean nothing to me

I'm more concered about setting up the playoff rotation

I'd go:

NLDS

Game 1- El Duque
Game 2- Glavine
Game 3 Pedro
Game 4 (If up 2-1)-Trax
Game 4 (If down 2-1)-Duque
Game 5-Whoever pitched better between Glavine and Pedro

[frankjg]

Seriously, what the FUCK is wrong with this team.. 12-0 and now 13-1, Wille better beat some sense into these guys before it's too late.

[Mother Shucker]

Got tix for game one and game five. They BETTER not let me down.

[Budyzir]

Seriously, what the FUCK is wrong with this team.. 12-0 and now 13-1, Wille better beat some sense into these guys before it's too late.

What the hell, these guys just give up ?!?!?! I mean, fuck, thes scores are screwed! They're just gonna screw themselves.

I don't think Pedro is coming back on 1 day rest to pitch Game 5 after pitching Game 3. However I agree with the rest. I would pitch Pedro on Sunday in the last game of the season. Only pitch him 3 innings to get him some work and hopefully go out on a lot more positive note than tonight. And then he will be ready to go next Saturday in Game 3.

[Norton's Hog]

Holy fuck. I leave this site for a few weeks (moved back to the US now,http://capgraphics.net/Wackbag/Animations/Nortonshog/SMILIE-woot.gif)...and this fucking team decides to sleepwalk the rest of the way to the playoffs.

I wasn't worried at first, but now I gotta admit, Willie better find a way to get some fire under their asses again, or they're dead in the water.

[Fred Told Me]

Well Pedro is done for the season. Everybody has to step up now. Even without Pedro, they are still the best team in the National League, and the way El Duque has been pitching the last month and with his track record in the playoffs, it's almost like he's the new Pedro. The fact that no team has a great starting rotation, with the exception of the damn Astros who are about to be a 1/2 game out. Mets can't play the Astros in the 1st Round thank God, unless the Phillies win the Wild Card which I've said all along is not happening, and will be proven right in 3 days. so the Mets starting rotation is not great, they still have the best lineup and the best bullpen in the NL. There is still no excuses not to go to the World Series. Once we get there, that's going to become extremely difficult without a healthy Pedro, but let's get there first.

[CM Mark]

(A day late, but I wasn't near a computer until now)
About fucking time they fucking realized that fucking Pedro fucking Martinez wasn't fucking healthy! I fucking told you mother fuckers that I didn't want that fucking spic ass mother fucker anywhere near the fucking post season rotation! Thank Isis and Osiris that he's fucked up. Now I actually have faith that the Mets will make it past the NLDS.
/rant

[nyrican]

oohhh whats with the spic comment? am i the only spic in here? anyway i agree. fucking pedro is fragile. but i would have loved to have seen him bring it in the playoffs. its up to El Duque (a spic) to be the number one starter. Good thing Omar (another spic) traded Kris Benson and his whore wife for Maine and Julio who he trade to get El Duque. Just hope the Stros or Phils dont make the NL Playoffs. those 2 teams scare me.

[Mother Shucker]

I do not like Pedro's bad gam, I do not like it Sam I am.

[Jerry1]

Not too worried actually. When Pedro went on the DL so many times this year, everybody was predicting the collapse. Some collapse! Kept a 14 game lead and clinched the NL East title all without Pedro.
It'd be nice to have Pedro, only if it's the Pedro of 2005.

[CM Mark]

oohhh whats with the spic comment?
Sorry sir. But when I go into rants I throw out racial slurs like Pedro gives up runs.

[nyrican]

unfortunatley i think the Pedro of 2005 is the best we're gonna see out of Pedro in a Met uniform

[Fred Told Me]

. Just hope the Stros or Phils dont make the NL Playoffs. those 2 teams scare me.

The Phillies shouldn't scare anybody, because like I said all along they will be watching come October. I love reading the heartbreak that is going on over in the Phillies thread. And they will probably come in here and go "Pedro is out, Mets aren't going to the World Series". Whatever, Mets are still going to the World Series and the Phillies are still going home after the weekend. The Phillies will not pull off a 99 Mets and come back from 2 behind with 3 to go. It's over Johnny. I wish I would have posted this before the week but I predicted they would lose to Houston, and then lose 2 out of 3 to Washington and Florida. I'm almost there. And thanks to the Phillies ineptness, we won't have to face the Astros in the 1st Round.

You're probably right about the Phillies, but your rationale is that of a typical mongoloid Mets fan.

You should be deathly afraid (or at least should have been a week ago when it looked a little more promising for the Phils). Look how your bbbboys have fared against left-handed pitching.

They don't want to be staring out from home plate at Cole Hamels for two starts in a series at this point. Everybody in baseball is saying the Mets are praying the Phillies don't make it because of that very reason.

Either way, the Mets are done. No pitching and no heart over the last month. Enjoy your three playoff games. That's all you're getting.

[Fred Told Me]

:) Not only are the Mets going to lose in the 1st Round, they are going to get swept now :) :). Please come back in here after Game 1 and revise your statement. You guys couldn't get the job done in Washington, and you could beat the Marlins 25-1, it don't matter. What do the Phillies have in common with these baseball powerhouses- The Nationals, Pirates, Brewers, Blue Jays, Devils Rays, and Royals. Answer- The only teams to never make the playoffs in the Wildcard era of Baseball. Have fun watching again. And I know your gonna repost the Mets have no pitching they are going to lose in the 1st round. When that happens come back here and gloat all you want, until then get ready for the Packers on Monday Night. Adios.

[frankjg]

Looks like the team is starting to get their shit together, now that the Pedro Situation is resolved.

[nyrican]

well it looks like the shit has hit the fan. Pedro is out 8 months with shoulder surgery. Trachsel left the team for personal reasons and according to newsday, Milledge got into a fight with a veteran to which the rest of the team responded by leaving a sign over his locker that read, "KNOW YOUR PLACE, ROOK!" I heard Willie Randolph reprimanded Milledge, to which Milledge replied, "What I'm just bustin' balls, and right away he's gettin' fuckin fresh".

Pedro being out for 8 months. I'll worry about that in November. Right now the playoffs are upon us, and I could care less about next year. Milledge isn't going to be on the playoff roster so I don't care about him either. The only thing that concerns me slightly is Trachsel. Hopefully his head will be in the right place next week when he likely takes the Game 3 start.

There is no team that I fear can take the Mets out in 3 games no less take them out before the World Series

El Oh El

Sad Philly Phans

Another year, no playoffs

Just a typical year for the city of losers, Philadelphia

[nyrican]

who's gonna sweep the Mets in the first round? padres? Grady Little and the fuckin dodgers? these fuckin sad philly fans got nothin to look forward to next week so they talk shit about the Mets.

[Towelie]

Good to end the season with a sweep

The bats are on fire

Mets in 4 over LA

07:51 PM - News: NLDS Set, Mets vs. Dodgers

...posted by Matthew Cerrone...

The Mets will play the Dodgers, who won the NL Wild Card today, in the National League Division Series starting at 4:00 pm in New York on Wednesday…

The pitching match-ups are looking as follows:

Game One: RHP Derek Lowe vs. RHP Orlando Hernandez
Game Two: LHP Hong-Chih Kuo vs. LHP Tom Glavine
Game Three: RHP Greg Maddux vs. RHP Steve Trachsel

…keep in mind that the mets have yet to officialy name trachsel as the game three starter…however, trachsel, and most people around the team seem to feel he will get the nod…

…the word out of los angeles is that Brad Penny, who is 16–9 with 4.33, but nursing a sore back, will be pitching out of the bullpen…

http://www.metsblog.com/

[Fred Told Me]

Im very happy to see that Penny may not be pitching in this series. The Dodgers scare me a bit though and they have been on fire at the end of the season. Pitching usually wins in the playoffs, but with the lack of great pitching in the National League, the Mets bats and their superior bullpen is what they are going to need to rely on to win this series and the NL crown.

[Aero 1]

Anyone else going to game one? I will be tailgating.


ill be there! and game 2 and game 5 (if it goes that long).

[Towelie]

Well this is great

Duque had to get an MRI

Questionable for game 1

John Maine for game 1

Shit

[Mother Shucker]

Spahn and Maine and prey for rain.

Anyone get that?

If you do, you are an old fart.

[KneeKnee]

Mets.com is saying Glavine for game one.

Not looking good...:(

I'm going tomorrow and paid a fortune for a ticket, they better fucken win...

Spahn and Maine and prey for rain.

Hoo Hoo I invented baseball. Tell em Warren Spahn.

[Towelie]

There is no way they go with Glavine on 3 days rest

Maine-Game 1
Glavine-Game 2
Trax-Game 3
Oliver Perez (Makes the most sense)-Game 4
Maine-Game 5

[DeltaPin]

Bring back Lima!

John Maine starting our first playoff series in 6 years gives me a searing pain in my asshole. In other words.....I'm scared.

In Mr. Garrison's voice: Bzzzzzz, wrong, try again dumb ass.

It goes back to the ole' Millwaukee Braves. It was him and Johny Sain, then an awful back end of the rotation.

Here is a bit from "The baseball page": Johnny Sain, who teamed with Spahn to form the famous duo that inspired the phrase, "Spahn and Sain, and pray for rain."..

[Mother Shucker]

Dave Williams isnt on the "Taxi Squad"

Its either Bannister or Perez at this point

Eh, give me Bannister or give me, uh, herpes.

[Mother Shucker]

When I got these tickets, I sure as hell did not think I would be watching Maine pitch game fucking one. Sad thing is, the other set of tix I have for the NLDS is game five. Who gets the ball if it goes five? You guessed, John Maine. When I got the tix I thought I was getting Pedro twice.

The good news is, My tickets for the NLCS are game 6 and 7. No fucking way Maine pitches both of those.

Remember, vote for Pedro and all your wildest dreams will come true....

[Mother Shucker]

Dave Williams isnt on the "Taxi Squad"

Its either Bannister or Perez at this point

They just said on the Yankee game, rosters not due till 10 am tommorow. Since he was on the team before Sept. 1, why can't he play?

All I can say is

Carlos Fucking Delgado

Thats 1 boys

Tomorrows game is the biggest one of the series

[Palerider4146]

A win is a win, eeked it out, but nice win anyway. Hopefully Glavine can be on tomorrow, here is where having all that playoff experience can really pay off. Delgado is hopefully getting hot at the right time.

[CM Mark]

Not that anyone keeps track of this stat anymore, but it was David Wright with the game winning hit tonight

The fans came out in full force tonight and rubbed off on the players

Like I said, they rubbed off on the players and we got so much more enjoyment from that

Um, No Homo anyone?

No sir

David got the 6th and ultimately game deciding RBI

- D. Wright doubled to right, C. Beltran scored, C. Delgado to third

[av8rOC]

They were both fuckin Clutch tonight. Great game!

One thing that bothered me was before Wright's first post season at bat of his career they were trying to compare him to Derek Jeter, and debating if David could be as dominant (5 for 5 tonight possible?) I cant fucking stand the Yankees but nobody here can argue how good that guy is in the post season.
Its the guys second season and first post season ever. Chill the fuck out!!

[Towelie]

19 of 22 game 1 NLDS winners won the series

So at least history is in over favor

Although we lost game 1 in 2000 to the Gnats and still pulled it out

2-0 Mother Fuckers

Wheres the naysayers now

Pretty funny

Take another 4th inning curtain call there Damon...Works great

Then hopefully the Cards/Padres goes as long as possible so Peavy/Carpenter are done for the first few games of the NLCS

[Mother Shucker]

OK, now that the Yankee game is over, let's get this mother fucking going. I want a sweep. No fucking around and have Perez pitch in game four of a five game series.

Let's go Mets!

[Mother Shucker]

If one more Met gets hurt, I am going to fucking scream.

[CM Mark]

If one more Met gets hurt, I am going to fucking scream.
Jesus christ! It's just Floyd. He was out for a good part of the year anyhow. We don't need him. We'll be fine.

We need Trax to get out of this inning. Then we go to the pen.

[Philly Homer]

Well then he isn't special because anyone can do that :action-sm

[Mother Shucker]

God fucking damn it, how does that ball drop? Beltran plays against the fucking wall waiting to rob HR's.

[Mother Shucker]

shit!

[Mother Shucker]

YES! DP (and I do not mean double penetration).

[CM Mark]

Pedro?
El Duke?
Floyd?
Reyes limped a bit.
Of those 4 the only one I would miss is Reyes. I cheered when Pedro went down. I'm sick of that shitdick. El Duque can go suck Steinbrenner's cock. And Floyd was gone most of the year anyhow and the Mets still kicked a lot of ass. Reyes going down would DEFINATLY hurt though. The other three, YAWN!!!!

[Mother Shucker]

Fuck you Kent.

[Budyzir]

Fuck, what the fuck is going on ?!?!?! Come on guys, get out of this inning and then speak with the bats.

[Mother Shucker]

Bloop, bloop, bloop.

[Budyzir]

Bloop, bloop, bloop.

And here we are, back on top!

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Now lets get our pitching to settle down, win this bitch!

[Mother Shucker]

Did McCarver just say "make a double shit, er, switch"?

[Mother Shucker]

Heilman and Sandman baby, bring it home.

[Mother Shucker]

Nice flare Duke. Big insurance run.

[Mother Shucker]

Bring on the Cards/Pods.

[Mother Shucker]

HAHAHAHA, nice throw ****.

[KneeKnee]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Mother Shucker]

Put it in the books!

I have NLCS game six and seven tickets. Would be sweet to see a clincher.

[frankjg]

SWEEEEEEET... NLCS

Whos it going to be? Cards or Pods?

[Towelie]

WHOO!!!

Fucking A!

And people were worried when pedro and el duque got hurt

LETS GO METS

[Budyzir]

Folks, as much as I would have loved some kind of “dominant performance”, this game just goes to show that these guys don’t give up. They fought back, reclaimed the lead and won. Their actions are the makings of a championship team. I have great hope with this team.

Tonight I am relaxed and looking forward to our next opponent …. with tickets in hand!

[Fred Told Me]

Great win. Even without Pedro and El Duque this team has a great shot to win a Championship with the Evil Empire done. It looks like Floyd was only day to day, so hopefully he will be back for Game 1 on Wednesday. He was hitting really well in this series too. And once again the Mets get screwed on a ball that hits the very top of the wall. If Green's ball travels 1 inch further, we get another run and Floyd doesn't get hurt. I'm sick of this top of the wall shit.

Willie made a HUGE mistake letting Oliver pitch to Kent. I said it when Kent came up. I can't believe he's having Oliver pitch to him. and sure enough 1st pitch homerun. But besides that, he did everything right in the series. Used the bullpen well and his decision to go back to Green tonight was great.

[Norton's Hog]

Man, I've fucking loving this.

And a heartfelt condolence [on your elimination] to all the Yankee trolls that loved to come in here and talk shit. (notice that I left your thread alone.)
But don't feel bad, I'm sure you will still get all the backpages in the newspapers tomorrow, so I hope you will enjoy your read....:icon_razz

--------


SIDE NOTE:
Do you think Tommy Fucking Lasorda has one of those stupid [It's your duty Judy!] commercials for his recently dismissed LALA Boys too???

SIDE NOTE II
Holy shit do I hate the fox commentators.
Mcarver is always the usual tool, but fucking LALA BOY Brennenman sounded like he was calling his grandma's funeral for this entire series while his team continuously got smashed. (I was actually pining for ESPN's Thorne and Phillips, ugh.)
And for the love of god please no more Steve fucking Lyonns (from yesterdays game.) I was tempted to start a Lyonns 'Dumb-Cliche' drinking game, but I wanted to make it past the first inning before passing out.

Anyway kids, enjoy this,
and ....

ESPN is saying Torre to be replaced by Pinella. Not joking.

You're a silly goose.
But thanks for giving us the NLCS Championship so soon....

Quick question, are they gonna roll like they did against the Royals, right before the end of the season? Cause then that works for me.

Oh, and rest assured...no one is worrying here.:action-sm

Maybe so..but NYC playoff baseball is still alive...with the Mets!!!

If the worst does happen...well..at least the Mets won more playoff games than the Yankees this year!!:action-sm Add in the regular season games and that equals more wins than the Yankees.:clap: :clap:

Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Hey Hey.....:action-sm

The mets are playing well and should be fine. My Yankees are out but would be nice to see a NY team win it, good luck bro's.

[CallmeQtie]

Sweet! Last night Rocked!

[Palerider4146]

Way to go Mets!!! Still long way to go though.

So I listened to both games on the radio while I worked (I worked a special event for my hospital, the Avon Breast Cancer cure walk, damn I really wanted to bring WOW stickers for my ambulance). So I'm listening to the end of the yankee game, it was 8-2, two outs, top of the ninth when Posada hit that homerun. Sterling called that shot as if Posada just tied up the game, that fucking tool. He even gave a "jorgie juiced one!". What a loser.

I'm now 29 and in my adult life(a little too young in '86 to really appreciate it), yesterday was the best fucking day of baseball I have witnessed. Then I wake up today and it looks like Torre is about to be gone, it seems like a wierd dream.
That Yankees lineup was the only thing I weas worrying about, but now it seems wide open. I still would rather see the Cards and then the Tigers.

This game better not be rained out.
Rain rain go away!

[Mother Shucker]

How in Gods name did they design a new stadium without a roof? I hate domes, but is so fucking fustrating taking a sick day, packing up, paying $26 to park, just to sit in the stands for two hours and be sent home so you can do the whole thing over again.

Every park should come with a retractable roof.
With the amount of money they spend on the stadiums to begin with, what's a few more million?

They do stink, but they're useful.
And you woulnd't use it unless it rains.
Or you're Houston and you want to curb Hrs

[JOHNNY HAIRDO]

Yeah the forecast isn't good. Hopefully MLB will cancel the game early instead of everybody waiting around till 10, if that's the case.

[Palerider4146]

Between the weather and the death of Lidle, I wouldnt be suprised that they cancel the game early.

[Fred Told Me]

Why should they cancel the game because of Lidle? Cory Lidle has nothing to do with the National League Championship series. It's a terrible tragedy, but what are you going to do? They are going to play anyway, why inconvenience everybody and play tomorrow and take away the off day on Friday. Now the weather is a total different story.

[Absolutely]

No offense, but why would Lidle's death cancel the games?

[Fred Told Me]

THis game better not be cancelled for weather, and especially not for this Lidle thing. If the game gets cancelled that means Carpenter will be on full rest to pitch Game 2 on Friday.

[Towelie]

They arent going to cancel this for Lidle

If, and this is a long shot, they will cancel it for the weather

They will play if weather allows

[highway23]

yeah, I don't see them canceling the game because of Lidle...would be different if he was actually on one of the teams now

But I bet that each game has a moment of silence...both A's and Mets have had him on a team so I'm sure that it's going to be in the heads of a lot of players...

really shitty

[Palerider4146]

If, and this is a long shot, they will cancel it for the weather

It has been a complete downpour in NYC for hours now. Dont be suprised if your watching the 1986 Game 6 vs. Houston tonight.

[Absolutely]

THis game better not be cancelled for weather, and especially not for this Lidle thing. If the game gets cancelled that means Carpenter will be on full rest to pitch Game 2 on Friday.

I'm now all for this getting cancelled. Carp going game 2 and having a better shot at getting to go twice in the series is worth being board tonight.
Maybe that woman Larussa will start Carp on 4 days rest and go game 1 which would be nice too.

CANCEL IT

[Absolutely]

It has been a complete downpour in NYC for hours now. Dont be suprised if your watching the 1986 Game 6 vs. Houston tonight.

I was looking forward to the Mets winning...

I guess I'll wait till tomorrow

if the Yanks can't win, gotta go with the Mess

Get the fuck out of here. We don't want any bandwagon jumpers. :fight6:

Pick a team and stick to it. I have more respect for a Yankee fan than I do for a guy that just roots for NY, or whoever is doing well at the time.

[Mother Shucker]

Thank you MLB. I had nothing better to do today then take a train to Shea, sit there for an hour and a half, then take a train home.

Why was this game not called by 5 when it was raining like a mother fucker for an hour?

[Mother Shucker]

Yeah the forecast isn't good. Hopefully MLB will cancel the game early instead of everybody waiting around till 10, if that's the case.
They called it early, but not early enough to fuck my night up.

how did i miss this thread?! did anyone see the espn magazine with reyes on the cover? great article.

Game one tickets are being honored Friday for game two. I do not know why, in the past game one meant game one. Since I called in sick yesterday and had to call in sick tommorow, I made it a FIVE day weekend and will try to go tonight. If anyone has someone cancel on them and has one extra, PM me:action-sm .

As a Met fan, it has been scary watching him throw that shit. It's all in the release and mixing up of speeds. Fastballs and Change-ups - that's it.

Anyone else here wish Tim McCarver would shut the fuck up? I can't stand him.

YEEEEEEEEEEECH.

[Tax Kuntz]

That was easy. Need Maine to step up in game 2,
and to beat up Carpenter a little bit.

[Absolutely]

Boring fucking game.
Cards couldn't get anything going.
They shut the vaunted Mets offense down, 2 runs, and still can't win.
Fuck that. You keep a good offense to 2 runs you should win.

[Palerider4146]

One down, but they need to get the offense going better. I believe they will, they have just to many weapons there. Nice defensive plays. Does anyone else think Floyd tweaking that achilles may be a bit of a blessing in disguise? I really like Endy Chavez.

[Absolutely]

The only downside is you can't replace him now, but who cares.
And you lose a little pop.

[Fred Told Me]

I'm sure Floyd will probably still be available in this series to pinch hit, but that's it. He can't field or run that's for sure.

[KneeKnee]

HOLY SHIT! That was a BOMB by Beltran!

Glavine is the man. He is on now and is really eloquent.

LETS GO METS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Budyzir]

Upper Level, Section 33 checking in ... great game! I wound up breaking my digital cam on Beltrans HR but who the hell cares, I still have the pics. I'll post them Friday, a wee bit too indulgent tonight.

[Papagolash]

7 more

[Mother Shucker]

What a well pitched game. Glavine was on. Motta had the turning point of the game when he had one on, two outs, and Pujols on deck. He came all the way back from 3-0 on Preston Wilson and threw five straight strikes to get him out.

Not that anyone really gives a shit, but I was able to score a ticket in less then five minutes when I got to Shea. Just waited at the ticket window, and they had a single ticket Loge inner box. I actually got a whole row. The other two seats in my row of my box never showed, so I sat in the middle and put my coat on the seat to the left, and my bag on the seat to the right. Awsome night, can not wait till tommorow, will me in Mezz. row A for game two.

[Palerider4146]

So ESPN is reporting that Soriano is refusing a big offer from the Nats, which they are denying. I thought he had one more year on his contract, but I guess I'm wrong.

The question is, if he is a free agent and doesnt want to be a Nat anymore, is it time for the mets to try and grab him. They could either put him at 2nd base, which he really wanted to stay at, or put him in one of the corners. They should be able to afford him, and that lineup would be insane.

The Nat's look really stupid now, knowing that he'd be a Free Agent that probably wouldn't want to play in Washingtion, and not trading him this season.
They fucked up, and if he's rejecting 5 years 70 Mil I don't think they can offer him much more.

What a Jap homerun, who saw that coming?

[Fred Told Me]

The Mets lost the game in the Scott Spiezio at bat where Mota for some unknown reason grooves a fast ball down the plate on 0-2, when he had him looking foolish on two changeups prior. This loss sucks. I don't even want to talk or in this case write about it.

[Mother Shucker]

Well, that sucked. Can anyone on the Met staff throw a strike? Fucking had them down 0-2 with Carpenter only able to go one more time in the series and let them off the hook. Ahead 6-4 matching bullpens I felt good. Alas Motto and Wagner had nothing and the Card pen came up big. At least I can feel confident that we can get to Carpenter. Delgado is a God. Reyes woke up, he needs to wake Wright up though, he is sleeping. I want a sweep in St. Louis so I can cash in my game 6 and 7 tix for a WS tic.

Oh, one other thing. These playoff games take waaaaaay to long to play. Every break is an extra minute long. Adds up after a while. Night folks.

ok larry literal



id be worried as a met fan tonight becuase:

1) carpenter was pitching tonight,so while your not expecting to lose you know its possible

-Carpenter pitches like shit, but STL still wins

every game in this series is going to be a bullpen battle, and the Cards proved tonight they can hang with the Met pen

2)Pujols hasnt done anything, and its 1-1

[Fred Told Me]

2)Pujols hasnt done anything, and its 1-1

Pujols hasn't done anything? Really? Did you see his at bat in the 7th where he fouled off like 10 pitches in a row with 2 out and nobody on and then ripped a double down the line to extend the inning, and then 2 batters later the game is tied. Did you see him in the 9th inning rip another double after Taguchi's homer to help give the Cards much needed insurance runs?

[cosmic cow]

Hey Sean(sp) Green try opening your glove it makes it so much easier to catch the ball.

and the double plays killed the Mets as well

If Pedro or Hernandez were pitching I would feel better about the Mets chances....Why no startting pitching

[Kyle]

You're going to be so, so, sad when Billy Wagner serves up hit after hit in playoff games costing the Mets what should be a surefire World Series birth.

If there is a definition of unclutch, it's that guy. The Mets, as usual, have hitched their wagon to a loser. I don't expect you to believe it...but you'll soon find out that hard way.

I feel slightly justified this morning...if Wags sees a few more outings, I'm sure I'll feel completely justified.

[TheJerseyDevil]

Is this panic I hear?

[tripwire519]

No, just a touch of the anger. Mets in 6.

[Kyle]

...Pitching wins almost all the time in October...if the Mets are going to win, they need Pedro at least stabilized and Glavine getting in a decent groove. With them, they have a distinct edge. Without them, they're as vulnerable as anyone.

The Mets have a nice offense...but you seldom see a lot of 10-8 games in the playoffs. The NL's not great, but you condense pitching staffs for the playoffs. That means you see the Top 3 starters, and unless a game is blown open, only the two or three best relievers out of a bullpen almost every game. And if you look at the rest of the NL playoff teams, they all have solid starters at the top of their rotations. And they all can throw one or two solid relievers out of the pen each night.

Oh wait, but I forgot how you all were telling me that Traschel and Maine were quality playoff caliber pitchers. :icon_lol:

And with Oliver Perez going tomorrow...good luck bro to the 2006 Mets.

Fuck that.
El Duke had 2 good years, and those where 8 years ago.
I'll give you the Pedro injury was significant, but every other message before the series started was " Duuuuuuuuude, they won without Pedro. Look at the stats the last 2 months. They'll win without him"
Plus if we're talking injuries throw in Rolen's metal bolted shoulder, Izzy, Edmond's beat up head, and Mulder.
There is also an Ozone midget sighting everynight with Eckstein, we're handicapped too.

All I will say is this. They call them the Amazin Mets for a reason. They have a history of perfoming great with their backs against the wall. Dont expect to walk thru these guys!

[frankjg]

Alright.. I'm calmo this morning.. its only 2-1, the Stems have been in worse positions...



oh shit, Perez is pitching tonight.. we're fucked!

[Mother Shucker]

OK, worked through the night and had to listen to the game on the radio. It sounded awful. That is why putting them away in game two was so important. Just in case they laid an egg you would still have these mid west cunts by the short hairs. That being said, enough of the gloom and doom. We only need a spit and then win at home. I know we have Carpenter again, we fucked him up. The fucking shit bullpen shut us down in game two, that can be corrrrrrrrrected.

LET'S GO METS!

[Budyzir]

Just remember, the 86 Mets had to play six games to beat Houston for the NLCS and then played 7 for the WS. It keeps things interesting.

[Fred Told Me]

oh shit, Perez is pitching tonight.. we're fucked!

Yeah Perez is pitching and obviously I'm not too thrilled about it, but last time I checked Sandy Koufax isn't pitching for them either tonight. Anthony Reyes? That pitching matchup is a wash and if anything we actually have the advantage. I can see the Mets jumping all over Reyes early making LaRussa wish he pitched Marquis.

Yes, but I liked the 86 startting pitching better

[steamingpile]

Ahhh mets fans jumping off the bridges already, told you the pitching sucked. I loved reading that article 8 reasons Mets fans shouldn't give up half of those reasons are shit, especially the Jeff Weaver one and then saying Tom Glavine is one of the reasons why they will win. Hell ask any Braves fan why they hate Tom, if he would pitch as well in the post season as he does in the regular season the Braves would have 3 or 4 WS championships instead of 1.

Glavine has one, one standout pitching performance in post season play, Smoltz was the horse of those teams not Glavine. Even if they win tonight I predict a Glavine meltdown in game 5, feel free to run him out of town like the piece of shit he is.

[cosmic cow]

Hey Sean(sp) Green try opening your glove it makes it so much easier to catch the ball.


catching the ball with your face doesn't work either.......this guy is startting to annoy me

The worst part about this is that my brother-in-law is from St Louis and keeps texting me and talking shit.
Oliver Perez better have the game of his life tonight, otherwise my sister will be a widow by Monday.

[peewee]

the mets are fucked because their stating pitching is not going long enough into games. they may win this series but unless their starting pitching shapes up there is no way they will beat the tigers...

Hopefully they can take one of these next two games. I have a ticket to Wednesdays game. Never been to a Met game really good seats apparently.

[TheJerseyDevil]

Go Cards.

[Mother Shucker]

Can fucking Reyes not swing at shit pitches?

[av8rOC]

reyes has a nice off-spead pitch tonight. Jose will catch on;)

[Mother Shucker]

FUCK! If Beltran did not play the warning track for every fucking batter, he catches that.

[mascan42]

WTF was Spezio thinking? He tried to make it look like he dropped the ball so the runners would try to advance, and they'd get the double play. Since when do you try to con the umpires?

[mascan42]

Can Perez stop staring at the ball every time he throws a shitty pitch? It's not the ball's fucking fault you can't find the strike zone.

[av8rOC]

Im swinging from Delgados nuts like a monkey right now. He is the fucking MAN!

When you pitch the way he is tonight you can stike out however you want.

[Aero 1]

time to take perez out before willy gives that fuck wagner the ball with a 7 run lead. what im i saying, wagner will probably blow that to.

[Aero 1]

Mr. October = Carlos Beltran!!

Of course I am.

[Mother Shucker]

Put it in the books!

[frankjg]

Nice win.. finally putting some runs on the board. I think we'll wrap this up in 6.

Two questions
1. Will they get the game in tomorrow. I certainly hope so.
2. Will Trachsel pitch again in this series? I certainly hope not.

[Palerider4146]

Actually, you should hope they dont get the game in. It would give Glavine an extra day's rest which he could really use.

[Mother Shucker]

NO way they are playing today. Glavine tomorow.

The one thing that worries me is that they always try to get these playoff games in. With the Division series now, it really puts a tight time constraint on them. They do have an off day tomorrow, but then the weather in NY on wed doesnt look very good. Should be interesting how they do this. I just dont want to see Glavine pitching on 3 days rest, on a cold wet night. That is a recipe for disaster.

[Norton's Hog]

Great win last night (as expected, :icon_wink..).

Nothing ever comes easy for us Mets fans, so as far as I'm concerned, things are playing out as usual.

[Absolutely]

According to Tim Kuckjin on ESPN right now at Busch he says he doesn't see it happening tonight.
Especially with the day off tomorrow.

Rained Out Tonight

Weaver vs. Glavine still tomorrows matchup
Carpenter vs. Maine for Game 6

Yeah, I just read that.
I guess I'm going to have to watch MNF, which I don't want to do.

Probably the best thing to happen to the mets since glavine is horrible on 3 days rest but hes not much better on 4 days rest. Dont come crying to me when glavine blows up, after watching him in atlanta we know hes not the one to get the ball in a big game. Hell just this year he got his postseason wins over .500.

Nothing funnier than an Atlanta faggot whining in a Mets thread. And as far as post season choking, your entire team was to blame so don't try to put it all on Glavine.

Keep posting here stupid, you're bringing us luck.


Oh, and just so you don't get lonely, here's a pic of your fellow fans (Is that you in the middle?)....

Hey idiot Brave fan. Are you enjoying this run by the Mets? The National League East Champions have finally showed up in the playoffs, after year after year after year of the Braves wasting a playoff spot. You and your stupid 1 championship in 14 years, and the main reason you have that 1 Championship is the man pitching for us tomorrow. Go do your chop and get out of here.

Whining? Whos whining? You should have been able to do this last year when we had nobody but you couldnt so congrats on being a year late.

I am bringing you facts, look at glavines record during the postseason and you will see that he is horrible during that time. When he loses tomorrow I will leave you to your grief.

http://amja.net/images/mercha35.jpg

Besides everyone hates mets fans, its easier to cheer for the yankees or sox than to cheer for the most uninformed fans in baseball. Everyone knows good pitching beats good hitting, just ask any Atlanta fan whose number 1, 2, and 3 pitchers never produced in the post season, Smoltz was the one who showed up every time.

Oh and for the mods, didnt you give me a warning for calling people names in another thread? And I only told the guy he was a moron. Guess since Im not a mets robot I get the warning.

You're wasting your time trying to talk logic with Mets fans. They come out of the woodwork like roaches when they have a good team and they're the biggest homers around.

As far as the series, I'll admit I was shocked that Perez was at least decent last night. That was huge for the Mets.

To state the obvious, who ever wins Game 5 probably takes the series. Glavine's the better pitcher, but Glavine will be pitching on short rest and Weaver stifled them last time around.

It's really a toss up at this point as far as I can see. If it comes down to bullpens again, despite the Cardinals pen imploding last night, I'd rather have theirs than the Mets. As I've said many times, nobody loses important games like Billy Wagner.

[Mother Shucker]

Carpenter is sooooo much better at home. Why would he not pitch him tomorow at home?

[Tax Kuntz]

You're wasting your time trying to talk logic with Mets fans. They come out of the woodwork like roaches when they have a good team and they're the biggest homers around.

Not true. Yankee fans do that, but Met fans stay loyal, good or bad.

Glavine will be pitching on short rest and Weaver stifled them last time around.


Uh, no. With the rainout Glavine will have 4 days rest.
Weaver pitched well in game 1, but the Mets still won.
No way he pitches that well again.

I know your itching to talk October baseball and since your team never provides that you have to come in here, can you at least know what your talking about if your going to post here. First off Glavine will be pitching on full rest with the Rain out. And you would rather have the Cardinals bullpen than the Mets. You may be the only person in the Universe with that opinion but ok. That's fine.

Nobody loses more important games than Billy Wagner? two words. Armando Benitez.

[Kyle]

Uh, no. With the rainout Glavine will have 4 days rest.
Weaver pitched well in game 1, but the Mets still won.

You can't really predict that about Weaver...he may, he may not. The guy had an awful year, but he's also been a successful pitcher at points in his career.

And this what happens in the playoffs...guys you wouldn't think would do well step up, and lineups that absolutely rake in runs, tighten up in big games...it happens all the time.

I think it looks much better for the Mets than it did before last night's game, but I think they HAVE to win tomorrow or they lose the series.

And if they happen to pull out tomorrow's game, I'm still not sure they'd win the series even though they're heading back to NY afterwards. I would not feel comfortable at all seeing Maine or Traschel on the mound in clutch games.

The bottom line is they're not out of the woods yet although they dodged a bullet last night.

Nobody loses more important games than Billy Wagner? two words. Armando Benitez.

Ok...good point.

[Towelie]

I find it odd that Philly and Atlanta fans are talking here about playoffs baseball since those two franchises have been so solid in the last 15 years or so in the playoffs

[Fred Told Me]

Well the Phillies and Braves are complete opposites. One team makes the playoffs every year and does nothing, the other just never makes the playoffs.

[Norton's Hog]

You're wasting your time trying to talk logic with Mets fans. They come out of the woodwork like roaches when they have a good team and they're the biggest homers around.

Holy shit! Kyle posted in here after a Mets win?.. that's gotta be a first.

As far as "Mets fans coming out of the woodwork like roaches".. He was responding to me, and I've been posting in these Mets threads longer than you've been a member here. And as far as being a Mets fan, I've been a diehard fan probably longer than you have been alive.
Don't be jealous just because no one wants to be a Phillies fan. (win or lose.)

Biggest homers???? That's pretty silly coming from a Philly fan. You're usually smarter than that, Kyle. Don't reduce yourself to that Atlanta fan's stupidity.

--------------------

And to steamingpile, as far as "warnings for member bashing"....you come in a Mets thread spouting Atlanta shit and you expect to be "protected" by the mods???
You really are a MORON.

now...

[Mother Shucker]

Anyone else going to game six? If the weather aint too bad, I will be tailgaiting.

[Absolutely]

Carpenter is sooooo much better at home. Why would he not pitch him tomorow at home?

That makes too much sense for LaRussa to do.
Carpenter is 8-4 at home, with a 1.81 ERA. 7-4 with a 4.70 ERA on the Road.
Weaver is 2-7 7.70 ERA at home, and 6-7 4.38 ERA away.

If this happens I'll be happy again about the Rainout, eventhough the first time it let Carpenter pitch he stunk.

[sd187]
