I saw Peterson listed for some work in game one



Pete Alonso and his great pumpkin



This win goes down with Game six Grand Slam single and all the others

My house shook after that home run the way I was jumping around the living room. My wife and I joked that it felt like Shea.

[Fman99]

Early speculation is that a well rested Tylor Megill will face off against Zack Wheeler in game 1 Saturday. That makes sense to me, he'd be the only starter ready to go on normal rest, having not pitched since Monday.

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy, if they were playing with house money before, they're REALLY playing with house money now.



Have to wash last night's t-shirt and wear it again on Saturday. And Sunday. And Tuesday. And Wednesday and Thursday (if needed).

All the flowers for Howie , he's getting major props for that great call

[MFS62]

I feel bad for Bob Uecker, but just a little.

He was in the other booth with his headset on. Here's his call:

I don't know about fire and passion. But certainly their approach should have been better. Shortening up. Going the other way. Extending at-bats. All of them swinging out of their shoes.



Awful to watch.

I work in a large medical hospital. Seeing a lot more Mets gear on people than I would normally see , great stuff

[metirish]

Man, this is cool

[Benjamin Grimm]

It just occurred to me that it's nice that Peterson was on the mound for that. It's become so unlikely for a starting pitcher to get a chance to celebrate a series clincher on the mound anymore.

[Edgy MD]

Diaz getting the win and Peterson the save is certainly some odd applesauce.

[MFS62]

They suffer from premature exultation.

I will rant (again) about the stupidity of the post wild card winning champagne showers. You advanced and that's great, but the NFL teams don't do this after every playoff win. They just keep playing. To me there should be 3 occasions for the goggles and drenching - 1) clinched the playoff spot, 2) won the pennant, and 3) winning the World Series. All the other stuff is just in between stuff you need to do to get from 1 -> 2 and 2 -> 3.

Benny Agbayani's 13th inning walk off to beat the Giants in game 3 of the 2000 NLDS comes to mind.

I don't have anything against guys in their underwear pouring liquids on one another.

[kcmets]

Big Petey moment here. Epic. Huge. Huge, I tell you...

I'm done predicting stuff here... my next prediction will be in 2030!



(if I'm still alive)

Just a terrific job with the closed captioning, guys. First rate.

They misspelled Zimmo.

[Centerfield]

We're about to start spring training games.



But before we do. Read through this thread again.

If we get a baserunner Pete will have one more chance to do something special.



If.

This is a great thread and I'm happy to relive that moment again and again.



Watching the Mets watch party at Citi Field has the additional bonus of hearing Howie's brilliant call of the home run. Man, he is great.
