I love this 2024 Mets team.

It's a curious thing

[whippoorwill]

I love the Huey Lewis stuff

[ashie62]

Huey Lewis and MTV era was a great time in my life

[Lefty Specialist]

Make a one man weep, make another man sing.



Let's hope the singers are the Mets.

It was the golden age of saxophones in pop music. Where did they all go? They're not extinct... they're roaming free out there somewhere. I say we track them down and make a documentary.

Off-days in the post-season can be fun. If you listen real closely, you can hear arms healing.

[Cowtipper]

I honestly haven't even been watching the NLCS because I'm pretty sure we're going to be let down. The bullpen is just too bad.

[Lefty Specialist]

If you'd told me in late May that in October they'd be going into Game 6 of the NLCS, I'd have laughed at you. So this season has wildly exceeded expectations.



But as long as they're here, why not win the damn thing?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I've seen every inning of every Mets postseason game since the first game of the 1973 NLCS.

[Cowtipper]

I'll add, of course, that if the Mets DO make the World Series, I'll be watching every single game, maybe twice.

[Frayed Knot]

Fans should never take deep playoff runs for granted.

I recoiled at hearing Met fans taking the ouster by the Cardinals in stride because, in their minds, that year was a mere stepping stone to a sustained run of winning seasons which was sure to follow. This surge was also going to coincide with the downward trajectory of the Yanx.

Yeah, how'd all that work out for ya?





Plus, if we do manage to take these next two, the particular AL opponent takes the WS from a 'like to win' situation to a Must Win!

[MFS62]

In a prior poll, I voted WS champ or bust.

I haven't moved from that position.

As Brandon Nimmo said the other day, "one win at a time".

The day the Mets won in 1969 I was in the fifth grade.



They put a TV in the gymnasium and I believe all of us kids and teachers were there with this tiny screen



I rode my bike home as fast as I could and watched Cleon get the last out



I went onto our front porch to see if people were outside celebrating but no. Everyone was pretty much at work I guess

LHP Sean Manaea



Riding with Winker, as he should.

[Lefty Specialist]

I like Kopech opening. That way you don't see him in the late innings.

You kind of can, except nobody really has the juice to go to Ohtani to ask if he can fake it at first for seven innings.



Is there some reason why, if he's such an astounding athlete, he can't be at least as good as Anthony Rizzo over there?

[ashie62]

I liked McNeil spelling Iggy for a day, but one day only

[Edgy MD]

McNardles sure hit raisins out of the ball yesterday, though.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yes. I'm glad we're sticking with him.

[ashie62]

22 minutes til tip off

David Ortiz is a moron, Jeter also
