lefty

thats why, it doesn't even matter as Woody 2B. Their must be some magic pixie dust on the mound in Oakland, both Hudson and Mulder are awful right now.

will be our new regular right-fielder. However, I hope Willie won't start Green against left-handed pitchers. I know Milledge has been struggling, but I hope he gets the starts against lefties, as he is tonight against Mulder. (I realize Green isn't with the team yet.)

Oh yeah, and go Mets! Go Woody!

scary thing about that

was that the Cardinals were so good in 2000 that they won the playoff game he started against Atlanta.

by anonymous on Aug 23, 2006 7:46 PM EDT up reply actions

they only have a 1.5 game lead

on the reds, at the start of this game. I am hoping they lose that position, it would be great to avoid winnie the pooh holes in the playoffs.

by thekid on Aug 23, 2006 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions

If they lose the lead

They are more likely to face us in the postseason as we get the Wild Card team in the first round, which I would figure to be the Cardinals in your scenario.

The nye Mets are my favorite squadron.

by LAwman on Aug 23, 2006 7:44 PM EDT up reply actions

Yeah

One way or another I think we face the Cards in the playoffs. But I'm okay with that. Pujols is scary, but the rest of the team, not so much.

It's a pipe dream

but I am hoping the Pads keep winning and creep into that Wild Card Spot. Only 1.5 out right now.

by thekid on Aug 23, 2006 7:53 PM EDT up reply actions

Why are you hoping that?

Because of Piazza? Or because we're so good at beating the Pads? Or both?

by Max in NJ on Aug 23, 2006 7:57 PM EDT up reply actions

Two reasons

I think we match up extremly well against the Pads. Which has been proven over the season.
I live in SD, which means I get to go to playoff games.

Ah, I'm jealous. I'd love to live in

San Diego. My brother lives there and goes to Padres games a lot.

by Max in NJ on Aug 23, 2006 8:17 PM EDT up reply actions

I'm going tonight

Hoping the Pads complete the sweep of the Dodgers. I miss NYC and all the creature comforts of the east coast, but SD ain't a bad place to live. There is a never ending supply of things to do.

Man, that was a beautiful steal

He got a great jump. I was a little worried -- I thought Molina might get him, but Reyes beat the throw easily. Anyway, more runs! I like Mulder, but he's not a Met, so ...

by Max in NJ on Aug 23, 2006 7:46 PM EDT reply actions

Mulder

I want to believe, just not tonight.

by Billy Everyteen on Aug 23, 2006 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions

I just realize that post didn't make sense.

Why was I worried since Jose got a great jump? I guess because it's Molina behind the dish and he made a good throw.

by Max in NJ on Aug 23, 2006 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions

When they're not making silly errors

the Cards play some nice D.

gawd.

This is reminiscent of something earlier in the season -- was it Miguel Cabrera? -- when the Mets got beaten game after game by the "one guy you don't want to let beat you." Why on earth can't they learn this lesson? Overconfidence?

by Billy Everyteen on Aug 23, 2006 8:33 PM EDT up reply actions

yes, I suppose

but (a) I hate the guy too much to enjoy listening to him and (b) he was really trying to milk the new stadium for all the fan approval he could get. I prefer booing him in person at Shea -- on the radio, he can't hear me.

by anonymous on Aug 23, 2006 8:35 PM EDT up reply actions

Oh, granted

The rich irony, of course, being his bragging about the Mets financing their own ballpark - as if he wasn't the one who tried to spend a gazillion taxpayer dollars to build a stadium for the Jets.

and through the MTA of all agency. After they had said they had no money to pay workers and needed to raise fares and tolls.

it was annoying really. He had nothing to say, it was like take the 7 to game there's no parking during the US Open. Well, duh. And the new stadium rocks and NY love sports, again duh.

remembers to send Mulder a nice thank-you note.

by Billy Everyteen on Aug 23, 2006 8:31 PM EDT reply actions

Not Mulder, Duncan and LaRussa

Seriously, how terrible must St. Louis' starting pitching be if they threw Mulder out there tonight despite the fact that he's clearly not 100%?

Honestly, for all the bitching and fretting we've all done about the Mets starting pitching this season, I'd take it any day over any other team we're likely to face in the playoffs (at least from the NL).

They're in a dogfight for the division

We're at the point in the season now

where we're demoralizing teams trying to compete. I live in Denver, and they're still talking about how devastating their trip to NY was, how it showed the depth of their problems, etc. They were on the verge of the WC before the trip, now they're pretty much out, and certainly have no confidence they can win. Hopefully we can lay that same kind of smackdown to the Cardinals.

the guy from Baseball Prospectus

He was saying Carl Crawford is better than Reyes, of course forgot that Reyes plays a premium defensive position well, while Crawford plays a corner OF position, he should have more power.

Thank God

and Billy Wagner.

Losing tonight after going up 10-2 would have been the Anti-August 22.

whew!

That was closer than it should have been.

Let's send the Cards a message by pounding Staten Island's own Jason Marquis tomorrow. Then, we'd basically have 2 more "send a message" type series left: this weekend against Philadelphia and the 4 games when LA comes to town.

What a luxury it is

to have opened up a big division lead in April, and kept it up all season. Looking thru the comments over at Viva El Birdos, it reminds me of how lucky we are not to be agonizing over every game in quite the same way that fans of most other contending teams have to.
