10.5 back in August ?
that story ?.
It’s not because they did anything great. It’s more because the Braves sucked.
One day, this team is going to kill me.
it's all because of the Mets
taking 2/3 from the braves before dropping 2/3 to St. Louis. yep, we made it happen. suck it, Atlanta.

By story
the only good one is they beat Philly to eliminate them.
Now they must lose.

The Rangers have never won a World Series
that makes them the underdog, and the Mets fan in me wants them to win because of that.

once the Red Sox, Braves, Phillies, and Yankees were all out of the picture
my Mets-based preference for the underdog was satisfied with the entire field of playoff teams. i would have been happy with a Brewers or Tigers championship, and i’ll be satisfied with whoever wins this series. basically i just want seven games so the off season will be as short as possible. ;-)

Last time the Rangers played the Cardinals, R.A. was the starter.
Mets, Jets, Islanders, Knicks.

So yeah
Seeing as we basically ensured the Cardinals got into the playoffs, we get a cut of their World Series share, right?
Call it the “Re-sign Jose Reyes fund”

McCarver told me so.
Lost power twice here tonight and comes back on the second time just in time to hear McCarver impart this wisdom.

what is it with you and losing power ?
you need to move, girl

I'm so pissed off
Just asked my hubby-who-holds-an-electrical-contractor’s-license why we lived cross town for over 17 years and lost power exactly twice. Move here about 10 years ago and I swear we lose power once a month.
He explained to me what the problem probably is. I just looked at him and said ’F’ck JCP&L’.

wilson loves his stats
he is working on a pitch sequence algorithm right now. he would gladly be replaced by a robot. one step away from AA master plan for baseball.

Scott Feldman isn't good
You’re down a run. You can use a better pitcher here? A hit by Punto basically ices the game.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Beltre and Cruz are good fastball hitters
A tricky ninth for Motte
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
How long before the "trade the core" talk begins in Texas?
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Reading Lone Star Ball
and half those fans have the series over saying ‘I can’t go through this 2 years in a row’.
The other half are complaining Wilson sucks giving up 6 walks, even though 3 were intentional.
by MetsFan4Decades on Oct 19, 2011 11:18 PM EDT up reply actions
I disagree
It took them 30-something years just to get to the playoffs and they got swept like every time after.
Mets, Jets, Islanders, Knicks.
GO RANGERS! Get Endy a ring!
yes, but until recently
this was how they passed their team between cowboys/longhorns seasons
You can't walk Nick Punto
Never walk Nick Punto
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
this series is over
can’t believe this shit
cards knocking braves/phils out = free frogurt
twice in six years for these fucks
and never for us
Oh, Brett
