In the press conference, Willie says just an abrasion, he'll be playing Tuesday.

YES!

That'd be a good start.

I think it might take us going on a serious, month-long tear, culminating in a sweep of the MFY at the Toilet at the end of June.

Last night was kinda traumatic.

BTW, apparantly there is no longer a Mr Met Pinstripe body as usually Mr. Met is in sync with the rest of the Mets, and tonight it was the "Snow White" body and legs for the big baseball head guy

[DocTee]

Maybe his duds are at the dry cleaner (MLB 2006 reference) or under Linda Cohn's bed (ESPN reference)?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

None of the games were especially scintillating.

[Centerfield]

Never a doubt.

SC=100

[Centerfield]

Did you guys catch Pedro making a "big ears" gesture at Posada in the 8th? Big game, tense situation, and Pedro making fun of the ears of the opposition.

I love Pedro.

[Willets Point]

Pinstripes and blue caps. Me gusta!

[stevejrogers]

Now if we can just do away with the black trim!

"Mets In Black" song parody aside, the Black as a marketing gimmick has gone on WAYYYYYYY too long

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Has there ever been a series victory (with the only loss a one-run loss) that left the victors as upset and angry and disaffected as this one has? The disappointment of failing to sweep is the overwhelming emotion here--You won 2 out of 3, people--why so glum?

I saw that and wondered what he was up to

[Guest holychicken]

I thought he was doing that at Wagner to help him loosen up and relax . . . although, it certainly makes sense that he was making fun of posada. But why?

[metirish]

This sucks, the power went out last night just after the game started and I missed it..still I was happy to see we won....great pic in the Times..

You're right. - bottom line - 2 of 3 from the Devil. Gotta take it and run.

Heard on the broadcast that the Mets have won eight of the last 11 meetings in this series. This series is getting boring. We need better competition.

Somebody made a mistake there. It's 8 of last 12.

I think I *might* celebrate when we take the advantage in the all-time series. (Still down 21-30.

Now we know why they named it the Rolaids Award.
