LET'S GO METS! YA GOTTA BELIEVE!! WHATEVER IT TAKES!!!

What else can I say? I hope we win. I hope the players take the field with unbridled enthusiasm. Have fun guys, but remain focused. Good luck to to the players and the fans at Shea today. I won’t be able to view the game in its entirety. I’m nervous for these guys and the fans.

I hope we win and that Milwaukee loses.

All the best!

Hey Eric

Is there someway to view yesterday’s game? Does the METS organization or MLB sell DVD’s of previous games? I’d love to view it.

No swag here but...

I feel more a part of the METS family than I ever have.

The blog has made me more of fan than I’ve ever been. I’m from Knoxville, TN where Volunteer football is king but, this means as much to me as any Volunteer game. Damn man, I hope we win!!

Son!

What the heck happened in Athens last night? I was pulling for Georgia. Alabama, I can’t stand and you obviously know why.

What’s wrong w/Tennessee football? Two things:

  • Offensive Coordinator
  • Jonathan Crompton (QB)

Anytime they wanna put in Nick Stephens from Flower Mound, TX is alright with me.

No, that's news to me.

I love how tough the SEC is, but it’s basically impossible to go undefeated there. I wish there were more patsies for the Dawgs to beat up on.

Just more reason for a playoff system.

I advocated for an eight team playoff using the Bowl games (ROSE, SUGAR, FIESTA & ORANGE) as the initial playoff games. The following weekend would be the semi-final games and the Championship game would be played on the weekend before the super bowl.

No one’s listening to me though.

You remember 1999?

The Mets won a nail-biter at home, but the Brewers/Reds game was delayed by SNOW. I drove from Shea to Annapolis, MD and still got to see the Reds game.

Ollie and the sense of occasion

I think Perez is the single Met that I’d be most likely to buy a “clutch” argument about. The guy just seems to have trouble concentrating during mid-season games sometimes, where he’ll pitch a horrible inning because he’s not focussing on getting every batter out. Doesn’t seem to happen on the big stage with the crowd cheering him on.

Oh my god.

Guzman was pitching well, he’s going to PH for him (with a pitcher!) and bring in the scrubs!??!?

I don't understand

Instead of leaving in a guy who’s pitching great, you overuse your bullpen 2 days before the playoffs start?

by Prince on Sep 28, 2008 2:46 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

playoffs don't start until wednesday

so if relievers don’t pitch today, they’ll have had three days off…guess lou want s to avoid that

or maybe he just wants to drive mets fans crazy…in that case, it’s working

by englishgrey on Sep 28, 2008 2:48 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't see any other motivation he would have

I mean, it’s not like Guzman is gonna pitch much in the playoffs (if at all).

Imagine if Castro were as veterany as Schneider

He’d be unstoppable since he’s already a better fielder and hitter.

by ams258 on Sep 28, 2008 3:11 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

you're right, I guess

Gameday shows all three pitches well off the plate. But if that corner gets called for strike 1 and strike 2, you’ve got to adjust.
