Thanks Willets,I have a good feeling about this,Maine to become a Mets legend,that's a leftie heavy Mets lineup.

[metirish]

Do we get player introductions today or it that just for the WS?,if we do will FOX show it?

Will ESPN show it I mean.

[Valadius]

Thank you Irish for making a light bulb go off in my head:

That's a hefty lefty lineup. (Or lefty hefty.)

[Willets Point]

One might say hlefty.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

It would be hard to say that without spraying saliva.

[Methead]

Running the A+ lineup out there today, lefty-heavy or not.

[metirish]

Lowe when he's on has a nasty splitter,right?,that's his best pitch I think,he's due a bad outing because he's been brilliant lately.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

That's putting a positive spin on things.

A sinker, not really a splitter, although the effect is often the same.
He got the largest pct of ground balls of any pitcher this season.
Sinker-ballers get the ball "up" when tired and/or ineffective and that's when they get hammered.

[metirish]

Thanks FK, this LA type weather will make the Dodgers feel at home,Mets fans need to be loud today...

LETS GO METS.

Oh Boy, Steve Phillips!

[A Boy Named Seo]

Snow whites, black lids.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Steve Phillips!

Dammit.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

And Gary Thorne.

And Joe Morgan until he has to leave for the Bronx.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Let's go mets!

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

You know, I never would have imagined that the Mets would clinch two weeks before the beginning of the playoffs and end up with John Maine pitching Game 1.

Oh well. They're here. It's now.

Game's starting on ESPN2, as we figured. It should switch over fairly soon.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

We've got the teamwork to make the dream work!

[metirish]

Who threw out thre first pitch?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Come out punching.

Koosman and Mookie.

Kiner tomorrow.

Maine's on the mound. I thought first pitch was supposed to be 4:19?

[Guest Hillbilly]

Lets Go Mets! Beat the hell oot of the dodgers!

[Willets Point]

]Maine's on the mound. I thought first pitch was supposed to be 4:19?

Nope 4:09.


My nipples explode with delight!!!!

[Zvon]

Reyes with the grab!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Great catch by Jose!

Big 1st out.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Way to keep Furball off the bases!

[Willets Point]

Ah, Kenny Lofton in his obligatory postseason appearance. He's been in the playoffs 10 times with 6 different team. The Mets need to pick him up for next year.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Sit down, Kenny!

[Guest cooby]

WE are having one of the hardest thunderstorms we have had all summer. I hope it doesn't hit NY before the game's over.
