the 2007 NEW YORK METS: Pedro is Gravy

duh ^2006 Cards^

Josh Towers in '08?

and a not exactly sure thing in Martinez?

3 starts, 2 wins, 1.69 era, 17 k, 4 bb (!), 1.38 whip...

ie what the fuck are you talking about? he's been fine. better than fine, even.

perhaps he meant the cloud of potential reinjury.

lotsa evidence for that, sure.

The 2006 White Sox also backed into the playoffs to only turn it on and win it all.

'05 ja

AWESOME

Rickey Henderson high school yearbook

so it's 8-3 in the 7th, can they find a way to blow this one too?

perhaps he meant the cloud of potential reinjury

bingo, obv. a healthy/durable pedro is great, but in a playoff situation where you often need guys to pitch on 3-4 days rest, he probably won't be allowed to do this.

of course glavine & pedro might be enough to overcome maine's meltdowns

good to see green get a bit hot, 'bout fucking time

hey dude, green is .390 in september so far. he didn't just "get hot" as the month is ten days from being over. so it seems just like with your pedro prognostications, you're wrong again.

aw, you're so cuet, fattey :)
why don't you go off on an anti-polish rant, that is so adorable

i didn't state that he "just" got hot you pathetic hardman, go shill some lame-ass indie band, acne-scarred dolt.

your fucking poor self-esteem aggro bullshit is endearing to some, grow up and drop 75 pounds before you drown in a pool of your own bile

no flaming here unless it's Guillermo Mota, mmmmkay

So Willie is going to 5-man rot now? ie, no Brian Lawrence or Dave Williams, plz Jesus?

hahaha that dude was mad!

anyway i s'pose i'm glad i can't watch 'em down south. glavine just blew another lead.

the ump gives milledge the red card

and now a mets fan with crutches get ejected, causing a five minute delay.

you got to be kidding me

what the hell went on at this game? dude threw a ball at aaron heilman?!

lol drunken tirade

lol collapse

lol times:

As mortified fans watch the Mets fritter away their once-commanding grip on first place in the National League East, dread infects the city that it might be witnessing a collapse of unprecedented proportions. Even those who far prefer the Yankees can’t escape the fact that such a nose dive would be downright humiliating to New York.

I have watched movies during the bulk of the last 3 games.

Me 2

and still I manage to catch the end-of-game death rattles.

Wishful sentiment on Mets boards: "I hope they blow it so Willie gets canned"

so what is with country time's back spasms?

a SUDDEN attack (didn't pitch in last night's wetathon either)

is there a better backup catcher than ramon castro?

I'm wondering if he'll be #1 next year if he stays healthy.

If they offer LoDuca anything more than a map showing him how to get out of New York, I'll be disappointed (but not surprised).

whoa, i thought you were morbs when i first read that.

It's already been written they're eager to have a new catcher in 08.

they will coax mackey sasser out of retirement

man, old man alou is just amazin'. hope the mets can hang on.

ugggggla

They should pay us to watch games like that, it had more crisis and heartbreak than the Book of Job.

I do not regret turning last night's game off before the 9th.

And giving Humber his first MLB start tonight so Pedro can get "his extra day of rest" in THIS situation is SHAMEFUL, I think. If he can pitch, he can pitch on the 5th day when the season is in jeopardy.

Shea fans doing the Chop: odd.

A SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER

LET ALOU PITCH

'Faith' and Fear in Flushing has lost it:

Horrifying mental mistakes, stupefyingly dumb tantrums at umpires, ludicrous mismanagement of the bullpen and roster, listless play and innings and innings and innings of bad baseball -- which part of this rancid stew makes you want to remember your boyhood heroes, or daydream about green fields and summer nights? And should the Mets somehow pull out of their death spiral, which part of it makes you want to fork over $75 a night to watch them sleepwalk through the first week of October against the Cubs or Padres?

If they are tied with Phils after Sunday, where is the playoff game?

[19:22] xxx: i should have known better than to root for john smoltz
[19:22] xxx: that FAGGOT
[19:53] *** xxx signed off at Thu Sep 27 19:53:37 2007.
[22:00] *** xxx signed on at Thu Sep 27 22:00:11 2007.
[23:12] xxx: i have made the decision not to raise my future children as mets fans

it's in Philly on Monday, of course.

So this would be the biggest choke in MLB history, if I understand this right?

7 game lead with 17 to go?

According to this

The Mets (99.80 percent on September 12th) would rank second all-time if they miss, making good on a 500-to-1 shot against.

If the D'Backs and Cubs miss, those would rank as the 7th and 12th biggest chokes in history, according to the BP methodology.

"fade" sounds much nicer than "choke"

So if the Mets are alive after Saturday, who wants to go to Shea Sunday? (Glavine's possible farewell)

Maybe I was not listening properly, but it seemed like the Shea crowd went from chanting "LET'S GO METS" to "BOOOO!!!" within maybe a second of the first fly out reaching the air in the ninth.
