It's the Maine Event!

Getting swept by the Cubs at home would be barely a blip on the radar, but would be annoying nonetheless.

The Daily News has been flashing back to the 1986 season.

Twenty years ago today, the Mets lost both ends of a doubleheader to the Braves. I'll bet some of today's fans panicked just reading that. I sure hope that that sweep doesn't place the 1986 championship in jeopardy.

On the good karma side, first thing this morning I selected shuffle songs on my iPod and the 86 anthem "Lets Go Mets" came on first.

I like this Mets lineup. Glad to see Endy in the 2 hole. Really glad I don't see Woody.

Honestly? Seeing Atlanta in second place bothers me. I know it's a huge lead, and everything's fine, but I still don't like it.

This whole season is kind of like sleeping in on a Saturday morning enjoying a good dream but worried your mom is going to come in and wake you up and tell you it's 1992.

Blue caps again: Nice.

No pinstripes, though. Solid white uniforms.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Leadoff walk for Pierre, but Castro throws him out attempting to steal second.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A 2-out single.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Note to Aaron Heilman - THAT'S what you do when a ball is hit back to you! Throw it to first for the final out of the inning.

Deep cleansing breath....

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Cubs scoreless in the first.

Probably my favortie uni combo is the solid white with blue caps.

I've been meaning to compile a win-loss record according to the different uni combos. Not that it matters, but thought it might be interesting.

[Willets Point]

Is that the real Mark Prior, actually pitching and not on the DL?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

One out walk for Endy.

I don't mind the solid white uniforms, although I prefer the pinstripes.

The solid whites look pretty good with the black crown/blue brimmed caps.

Course the next season in 1993, this monstrosity was introduced.

The good news, the racing piping was replaced, the bad news was this was now our logo:

OE: SportsLogos.com doesn't like image swipers

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

What IS that song they play when Beltran comes up to the plate?

Sounds like "Vanis takee! Vanis takee!"

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Beltran pops up and Delgado strikes out.

No score after 1.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The camp kids are out in force.

I can already hear Kase railing against the counselors who are going to herd these kids out in the 7th inning.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Maine gets the first batter out in the second.

I think when I get to 11,000 posts maybe I'll be this guy:

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Cubs down in order in the second.

[stevejrogers]

I don't know but this guy would make a cool avatar

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Wright walks.

Valentin bats.

Somebody says, "EVERYBODY CLAP YO HANDS!"

[stevejrogers]

Hey the big guy can read!

[Willets Point]

I've already called dibs.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

On a hit-and-run, Valentin hits a deep fly to the warning track.
