Optimism

[Guest Rotblatt]

We play at home tomorrow.

We haven't given up all season and I don't see us starting now. Our pen is still in pretty good shape for tomorrow night.

[Willets Point]

Glavine won't have any more starts this series.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Carpenter ammassed most of his good numbers against RH hitters.

This team sacks up.

enough.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Did Glavine run over your cat or something?

[Valadius]

We're playing at home. That means a lot.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Willets never been much of a Glavine fan.

[Guest Hillbilly]

It will be game 6 at Shea with the Mets down 3-2 and their backs against the wall. Mookie will be in the house.

[Guest holychicken]

All I am saying is that Taguchi, Duncan against and lefty and Spiezio, a bunch of crubs (although Spiezio seems to be a non-scrub in the postseason), all did damage against us this series.

Eventhough the matchups for the next two days don't favor us, weird shit happens in baseball and, with our offense, anything can happen.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Film reviews will tell Met lefties to stop swinging at the down-and-in breaking pitches.

New home plate umpire won't be calling that inside shit to lefties as strikes.

The Cardinal plane could go down?

Yeah, we've scored 0 & 2 runs in two of the threee losses this series (6 in the other) and are severely hurting for healthy and effective starting pitchers, so it's a good thing we don't have to be burdened by any more starts from the guy who's given up 3 runs over 3 games and 18 innings during the playoffs because it's clearly all his fault!!


This kind of reminds me of the 'pick your designated whipping boy(s) ahead of time and then bend the facts so as to fit your pre-determined bias' shit that I thought I left behind at another forum!

[Valadius]

There's plenty of blame to spread. But now is not the time to assign blame. There's still baseball to be played.

[Guest cleonjones11]

I'm looking forward to game 7 for the AMAZIN Mets....

[G-Fafif]

A new plot for 61*.

Forget Fear.
Nothing but Faith in Flushing.

[Guest cooby]

Maybe Cliffy feels better!

I smell a Floyd walk off homerun

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Suddenly, cleon is our optimist.

[soupcan]

Yeah, really.

[metirish]

I'm sick of this crap,the Mets will win tonight behind a brilliant Maine ,I feel better now...

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

[HahnSolo]

Optimism...

Maine for 6
Heilman for 2
Wagner for 1

and it's on to Game 7.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

It is time for John Maine to step up.

He says he's confident that he will.

Can you point me in the direction of that quote?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Today's Daily News. Article by Anthony McCarron, headlined "Innings Maine Concern."

]Now that he is one of those options, Maine is confident that he can help the Mets. "It will be all right," he said.

[Guest Rotblatt]

While we're a long-shot to win tonight, we've had far longer odds this season and managed to win.

Anything can happen!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

The beard is more uncomfortable than ever before. It says, "Johnny, I'm here for you."

[Centerfield]

We're gonna fucking win. They're gonna give Carpenter a beat-down tonight...Maine will only need to be adequate to get us a win. Tomorrow, Steve Trachsel will start and give us the pitching performance of his lifetime. Complete game 2-hitter, retiring the last 21 batters he faces.

Willie has said Trax is in the pen.

[Guest Hillbilly]

I have a strange sense of clam right now. The Mets seem to be about where they always are in October, in a tense struggle with their backs to the wall. Likely the nature of the beast that is post-season baseball, but when the Mets are involved it�s our time to feel it.

Of course, this sense of calm will be replaced by a frenzy of nervous anticipation as the afternoon proceeds.
