Mets up, Phils Down!
Who loves the Cubs this week? I do!
Lets go Mets! Gotta take advantage of the Philly slide.

Im drinking beer
Watching Game 1 of the 86 World Series.
Few observations:
1. Garagiola and Scully are super awesome at calling a game. Joe Morgan, Tim McCarver and Chip Carey can suck it.
2. Those guys are skinny, even the home run hitters.
3. I hate Boston.
"The people of Houston are spending money like oil's selling at $40 a barrel."

4. I want a DVD set of the Rangers 94 Cup finals with extras including Game 6 and 7 against the Devils.

Not until it involves gushing about the Red Sox.
Remember, if ARod played for a perennial playoff team not the Yankees, he would never get as much shit as he does.

Reyes infield single, steals second on terrible throw from PLD,
Castillo reaches on a bunt single, JBR to third, Wright K, Delgado BB, Beltran sac fly… don’t remember the rest
Bases loaded, 1 out.
Beltran sac fly to center, Church fouled to Helms (admittedly, it was a great catch)

At least i do.

Didn't say I wouldn't root against them
Just that I don’t really care about them unless they’re playing the Mets. Then I root against them.

Not yet
My dad is a life-long Yankee fan, and he raised me to dislike the Red Sox. The Braves and the Cards broke my heart too many times, so nuts to those guys.
Philly just does not do it for me. I would cheer for them if they were in the WS.
"The people of Houston are spending money like oil's selling at $40 a barrel."
You used to root for the Braves and Cardinals?
That’s a long, strange road to being a Mets fan. You’re not familiar with the term “sports bigamy”, are you?

I'm indifferent to most ML teams
but I hate the Yankees, Braves, Phillies, Cardinals, and I guess the Nats. I’m with Bobby V in that I don’t really care enough about the Marlins.
"I don't need to wipe everyone out, Tom. Just my enemies." - Al Pacino as Michael Corleone
No no no
The Braves and Cards have been the Mets big enemies in my lifetime. They played a part in breaking my heart. I’ve always been a Mets fan.
Sorry for the unclear way my earlier comment was written.

Don't hate them.
Just for some reason, I don’t want them to win it. It’s inexplicable. I’d just rather not see them win.
by BobbyV_Incognito on Aug 29, 2008 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions
I understand
The Red Sox have been just another team since they won in 2004; they are no longer saddled with the weight of history. Likewise, if the Cubs win, 100 years of history will soon be forgotten.
"Since we became accelerated readers, we never leave the house." - Los Campesinos
I don't want them to win either
ESPN has been sucking their cocks since March, and you know their fans are going to be just as insufferable as Red Sox fans should they win it all. No thanks.
In order, my WS champion preferences:
1. Mets
2. Rays
3. Brewers
4. White Sox (over the Cubs, that would be priceless)

I suppose there's 3 reasons I could put in to words
1. The bandwagon would be fucking ginormous. (Hey, spell-check accepts that as a word) Who wouldn’t be pulling for the Cubs during the WS? And the day after the series ends, every front runner and casual baseball fan in America would be sporting Cubs gear. I hate those people with the burning intensity of 1,000 supernovas.
2. The media. How many idiot sportswriters would write/already have written columns about the “Curse of the Billy Goat” finally being killed, or about how the streak had to end at 100 years. FJM would not be wanting for material all winter long.
3. Cub ‘fans’. They’ve turned losing into a lifestyle. Red Sox fans agonized over each failure; Cubs fans seem to accepted that their team never wins. It’s a joke to them. As someone else said, “The Red Sox are Homer. The Cubs are Homer Simpson.” I’m too young to remember my team’s last World Series championship. And every failed opportunity is haunting. Finally winning the World Series (or any championship) should be all the more sweeter due to the hardships you endured en route.

Screw the Red Sox
I know a fair number of Cubs fans, and they are not nearly as big a bunch of assholes as every Red Sox fan I know. Boston is a town of jerks. Chicago will certainly rustle up a fair number of bandwagon fans, but I doubt they will become the traveling circus of assholes the red Sox have.
"The people of Houston are spending money like oil's selling at $40 a barrel."
Eh, I'm not worried
Now, if the Mets were up 10-1, then I’d be concerned.
I’d just like it better if the home plate umpire was actually watching the pitches he was calling.

Ewing, Jr.
I see the Knicks just the rights to that French guy to Houston for Ewing’s son — not sure if anyone else cares. The idea of a Ewing in the Knick uniform makes me wistful for better times.

Hey all
I’m new here, been a regular poster on Metsblog since 2005, and on the SBN Giants page for about a year, just discovered this blog and it seems like a more intelligent crowd than a lot of what’s been populating Metsblog lately.
Anyone wanna fill me in on how the Marlins scored their second run? I was out for a bit, came back just in time to watch Wright strike out with the bases loaded…
Run number 2
Was a sac fly. Reyes had an error early in the inning that allowed the runner to be on base in the first place.
Hey welcome to AA. We’re smarter over here and you should take a look at the Swag Contest. You cannot win August, but you can get in the running for September. It’s ten kinds of fun.

Mets basically traded him and Bannister
for Burgos and Vargas…2 different trades, but they complemented each other. Bad moves, both. Oh well…
Bad doesn't begin to cover it
Those trades pretty much cost us the division last year.
by BobbyV_Incognito on Aug 29, 2008 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions
yep
you know, I was just fact checking myself, to make sure I was right about Lindstrom being traded for Vargas….I was thinking it was Claudio Vargas, who at least had moderate ML success…turns out it was for Jason Vargas, career 6 game winner, 5.81 ERA. Yikes….that one’s not gonna be going on Omar’s headstone.
And yet it still turned out better than trading Ring/Bell did.
At least Vargas may at some point pitch for us again.

Wright striking out I can deal with; Manuel putting Endy Chavez up in that spot I find unforgivable.

Is anyone else watching MLB.tv?
This is like the 8th game I’ve watched with the Marlins broadcasters, and they keep calling Willingham “Hammer”. Have they ever explained why? I’d think a guy would have to hit more than 26 homers in a season to be called hammer. I could see calling Ryan Howard, Adam Dunn, or Ryan Braun hammer, but Willingham? Really?
Not to mention he's only got 10 this year.
