Save us, Carlos Voltron!

Ain’t much to say after last night . . . Let’s Go Mets! Ya Gotta Believe!

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

Gotta Believe!

Well, here I am again. Work is suffering more than usual because of how much I am living and dying with the Mets.

C’mon Pedro, give us something good. The Old Pedro.

Well

It looks like Queens is gonna get nailed with heavy rain soon . . . maybe we’ll get a night off from the struggling.

ROTFL at the poll question

That pretty much sums up my week, since my non-Mets-related life hasn’t been awesome, either. But none of that matters right now. Go Petey, go bats, go defense, go bullpen!

Is this the part where I say

Lets Go Mets?

I’m not feeling it. Maybe I’ll search YouTube for some old Rhengold & Plymouth Duster commercials. Where did I put my Lindsay Nelson sport jacket?

If they make the playoffs, I’ll be more enthusiastic about it. But right now I’m saying “Let’s GO Mets!!!” while gritting my teeth.

Mets, rising to the occasion in 2008 or at least trying harder to get runners home form third with no outs in the bottom of the ninth.

On PTI they asked the question:

Who would you rather see win the series? Cubs or Rays.

Dan Lebatard said he wanted the Rays to win because if the Cubs win that would mean that there would be no team to feel sorry for.

I’m afraid that the METS may be filling that bill if they don’t make it to the playoffs this year and also because of the OMAR extension

by LOUtheMETandNATSfan on Sep 25, 2008 7:43 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Nah

If the Cubs win, the “sad sack” team becomes the Indians, I think. No WS since 1948.

the point of the “clutch”/“unclutch” debate isn’t that there no such thing as a clutch situation, which clearly there is, but that there is no such thing as innate clutch ability, which is the point of contention

in other words, there are plenty of clutch situations, but when the mets fail at them over and over, it is more due to chance than any innate ability or inability. Right?
