[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Say what you want about "Taking Care of Business", but I was very glad to hear it tonight.

And I want very much to hear it again tomorrow night!



You get up every morning
From your 'larm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out

If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
And we be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime

Mercy
Whooooo
All right
[instrumental Interlude]
Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day
Whoooo

One game for all the NL marbles...I'll take it.

Maine's my latest Mets hero.

Keep it up O.

[Willets Point]

I didn't think it was me, I just lost track. Thanks.

[Guest cleonjones11]

It's all Good Goomba LETS GO METS!!!!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Mets have played much better in this NLCS when I have been watching the action on the TV in the master bedroom upstairs. Most of the time, when I have ventured to other rooms to watch the games, the Mets play usually started to deteriorate and fall apart. So unfortunately, I didn't get to enjoy this game online with all of you, because I was watching on my "lucky TV".

I know where I will be tomorrow night.

Thanks for the effort, Rockin' Doc, but in my heart of hearts, I know it's all about my fledgling beard.

And the fact that I drank more beer tonight.

[Guest cleonjones11]

Hmmmmm Beer...enough Homer

[metirish]

Oliver Perez to pitch game seven....so said Willie.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Actually Jeannie Zelasco and Kevin Kennedy just said something on the postgame about Rockin' Doc and the TV in his master bedroom.

Steve, how many ridiculousnesses can we get into one brief post?

[Elster88]

Seriously Edgy, you're surpised?

I thought I was saying silly things...

We cut you some slack because we never understand what you're saying.

It's all bonkered to the clown, you know.

I love this place..it's full of eegits...

[Zvon]

Just saw Maine in a post game interview.
The kids as kool as a cucumber.
Looked like he just won a game of Strat-o-matic or something---not a win or go home playoff game.
Damn--I like that guy.

What a job.

[Valadius]

Gary did the radio call on the Reyes homer.

[Gwreck]

Great fun at Shea tonight. Best crowd of the postseason so far.

First pitch was Matt Dillon. Maybe they'll use Tim Robbins tomorrow?

Was disappointed that Willie didn't double switch when he brought Wagner in. Pitcher's spot wsa due up first in the bottom of the 9th. He should've taken Valentin out and switched in Anderson Hernandez, our best defensive infielder (except perhaps Reyes).

Bradford again got up in a real hurry in the 5th when Maine was facing Spiezio. If they were going to bring him in to face Pujols if a runner was on, they should've been prepared a lot quicker -- Bradford didn't start throwing until after Eckstein was retired. It's not like they didn't know who was batting next. Strange.

Reyes took the curtain call, as the Jose-Jose-Jose-Jose chant continued long after the homer. Curtain call for a solo homer in the 1st was a risky proposition (ie. inviting a pitch to the rear end), I thought.

Let's go Mets!

Why? If the Cards score enough to make the Mets bat in the ninth, Wagner isn't pitching another inning any way...

I thought it was great - With the way La Genius has been running his mouth, I felt the Mets needed to get their swagger back.

I'm still loving him from Game 1 of the NLDS.

Rotblatt - "Thanks for the effort, Rockin' Doc, but in my heart of hearts, I know it's all about my fledgling beard.

Lucky beards, outfits, beers, and TV's. The Mets can never have too much good karma and support from their fans.
Good work all.

[Gwreck]

="Iubitul"]Why? If the Cards score enough to make the Mets bat in the ninth, Wagner isn't pitching another inning any way...

Yes, but my thought was that if the Cards scored enough to tie/lead, Wagner would've been pulled before that happened and we'd have burned him and another reliever getting there.

P.S. (and I know it was mentioned very early in the thread)

Blue Hats + Pinstripes = Results Speak for Themselves!

Are you listening, Charlie Samuels?
