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!

I'm excited and nervous.

I finally watched my Shea Goodbye DVD that I won as swag a few months ago.

I enjoyed that one

It could’ve been really cheezy, but I thought they did a really nice job.

Agreed.

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.

" I'LL TRY TO FIND YOU SOME AND I'LL BRING 'EM TO YA! "

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 28, 2008 1:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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!!

Tough loss yesterday. I got my master’s at UGA, so I bleed red and black. We’ll get you guys in 2 weeks!

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.

Last night was ugly

If only the game had been 5 quarters, then Georgia would have won. I’m going down to Athens for the Vandy game in a few weeks – so pumped!

by ams258 on Sep 28, 2008 1:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Vandy!

Where the hell did they come from?

Hugh sea change in the SEC. West dominating east:

Ole Miss over Florida
Alabama over Georgia
Auburn over Tennessee

Still early

The Georgia-LSU game later this year will be huge though. SEC championship preview there.

by ams258 on Sep 28, 2008 1:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm lookin forward to Bama-LSU

Do you know how much hate is going to be in that game? LOL! Gonna be a good one. Did you hear about the huge contract that ESPN got for televising SEC games?

" I'LL TRY TO FIND YOU SOME AND I'LL BRING 'EM TO YA! "

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 28, 2008 1:11 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by ams258 on Sep 28, 2008 1:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

Campbell, California here!

Right next to San Jose.

I’m not sure how I came across this blog, but I’m sure glad I did.

should make the timing of the Brewers game interesting

There’s gonna be a lot of scoreboard watching from the dugout.

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.

also

For a moment, I’ll be watching the New York Favres until this game begins. Favre-Warner would’ve been a great matchup 8 years ago.

So, with what Gary just said....

I’ll assume this game isn’t going to be starting for a little while….

Jets are on here

My roommate is a big Jets fan, so I don’t have the Mets on. Does anyone have a guess when the game will start?

by ams258 on Sep 28, 2008 1:17 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

they just removed the tarp

pitchers have not begun to warm up yet

by LOUtheMETSfan on Sep 28, 2008 1:17 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Gives me some time to watch the Jets

who are wearing their awesome retro jerseys!

by Prince on Sep 28, 2008 1:17 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, they do

Hopefully that’s where the similarities end (as Favre throws an awful pick).

I'm gonna have to find me a 'sweet' tie like the one Darling is wearing

at least i can watch the jets

until the mets take the field…

by englishgrey on Sep 28, 2008 1:18 PM EDT   0 recs

and favre just threw a horrible interception

and what’s up with the navy blue and yellow….

by englishgrey on Sep 28, 2008 1:19 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I kinda like it

but to be honest, the Cardinals were offside. Where’s the call?!

by Prince on Sep 28, 2008 1:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Throwback jerseys.

Ugh. Favrreeee!!!!!!!

I can’t watch much more of this awful football game. Arizona and the Jets look like bad high school teams.

I was so angry last night

On ESPN, it said Zambrano was gonna go for the Cubs. An hour later, it had Guzman. They got my hopes up and everything.

by Prince on Sep 28, 2008 1:33 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

AGH!

What the hell?! I thought Zambrano was pitching?!

I hate Lou.

From my mom:

“I just want you to know, that if we lived there, we would be at this game.”

I’ve never hated San Jose so much in my entire life.
