I think you're preparing to be another of the idiots who say stupid things in the media.

[Valadius]

Let's all attempt to calm down. Blowing up at each other isn't going to solve anything.

Well it's starting not too feel to bad already. I can laugh again.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

YOU SHUT UP TOO!

You're right, that didn't solve anything.

[DocTee]

Damn you Yancy, how dare you be funny at a time like this. You cracked the granite of my stony mien.

Look, all I'm fucking saying is that I don't want to hear all fucking winter the same fucking shit about Alex Rodriguez to happen to David Wright and Carlos Beltran. And if I do hear the fucking shit about ARod, then there should be equal time to Wright and Beltran.

What the fuck is wrong with critiquing the fucking media when it deserves to be critiqued?

[Guest cleonjones11]

This must be a Mets forum....oh..sorry...club...

Sure give me yet another reason why I should be stuck in my dead end career that I gave up a chance for a journalistic one with a hobby of a Met web historian.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Sometimes life isn't fair. The Mets were clearly the best team in the NL this season, but anything can happen in a short series. The Mets offense let them down in this NLCS while their decimated starting pitching stepped it up. I'm disappointed, but it's far from the end of the world.

Some of you sound like the spoiled Yankee fans that you love to make fun of for their sense of entitlement. A little perspective could do a few here some good.

[stevejrogers]

I should be at the New York FUCKING TIMES right now, instead I'm pushing 30, I live with my parents and I can't barely pay for accounting courses and I can't spend a few hours a week on a blog so that its been updated once in 12 months

[Guest cleonjones11]

True..I guess we won't hear about the 1986 Mets anymore for quite quite sometime...say 20 years.....The better team won...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'm a reporter. We're not ALL idiots.

Gotta tip my cap to the Cards. I didn't give them a chance to get past the Padres, much less us.

[metsmarathon]

steve, it sounds like you're imploring the media to treat wright and beltran like they treat arod.

might want to better choose your words so that they better reflect your thoughts and intent.

and, really. lay a teensy bit off the arod=god bit. sheesh.

and i really don't get cleon. the mets all of a sudden suck? c'mon dude. were you even watching this season?

[Zvon]

="metsguyinmichigan"] ="Zvon"] But bein able to share this awsum ride with u guys; Absolutely! You guys are awesome.

\
some of us are...
Steve--citing A-Rod--even making me view his name at a time like this: shit list

Cleon-Top of the shit list. Top of the poops.

(how can u guys hv Bret banned and put up with this dork? That-Ill never understand. For the serious record tho-Im against ever banning anyone.....but Ill bend for cleon to be sent packing and Ill slam that screen door on his ass)

Nicely said, Doc. More people should read this

Sheesh, Steve, how many answers do you need?

(1) WFAN makes money exploiting the stupid. Stop listening.

(2) Don't steal Dickshot's caustic fucktard line. That's no way to get a master's degree.

(3) It's prior restraint to attack them first for what you think they'll say tomorrow.

(4) You're saying you don't want to hear it from them, and yet you say you do.

(5) You're prepared to rip them either way.

(6) You're missing out on living the moment by worrying about how it's going to be regurgitated. Why give a crap?

(7) If Yankee fans are stupid enough to buy that A-Rod crap, then it'll sell. Who cares if they burn down their house with stupidity? Let them smoke in bed.

[metsmarathon]

this was a great game, and a good end to a great season, no matter the outcome. waah, we didn't win. so? are we suddenly yankee fans all up in flushing that our lives are empty and our team is an abject failure if we don't make it to, and subsequently win, the world series?

we can't take any joy in a great season, a great postseason run, great play, great players, and great surprises?

it sucks that we fucking lost, yeah. but we fucking got here.

take joy in that.

and get ready for next year. fuck yeah.

Steve, please. Get a hold.

[Guest Mr. Zero]

I'm totally devastated. what's worse is I have to break it to my kids in the morning.

[Guest old original jb]

I don't buy all this that the Mets were so much better than the Cards.
The Cards had a bad run at the end of the season, but they have a lot of depth up and down the lineup, live arms in the bullpen, and better starting pitching, especially when our #1 and # 3 starters are crippled.

I hated to see Cliffie strike out in what could be his last appearance as a Met. Hated to see Beltran leave the bases loaded.

But I too must tip my hat to the Cardinals.

It's been a wonderful season, but there are no guarantees in baseball.

Especially when you wait until the bottom of the ninth to do all your hitting.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Here's a bright side.....I just saved a lot of money on shirts, caps, pennants, sweatshirts, bobbleheads......

[Zvon]

cleon--i hat you.
You make it sooo easy too.

Why are you here-
why have you ever been here?
Go away.


That WAS a great game.
And that last inning-we had two scenarios i would have paid to see:
Cliffy in position for a limp off homer and bases juiced for Beltran.

I got to see that--but you cant always get everything you want.
Didnt get to see the Mets win and move on.

But I hold my head high.
Mets are STILL the best and I am soooo proud of what my team showed me this season.

[Guest KC]

Too much pissin' and dissin' at the end of this last IGT of the season (even
for my taste, and I can out piss and diss most of you by a lot).

That ninth inning is gonna stick in my craw for a good three weeks:

Bottom of the 9th
Pitching Change: (P) Flores replaced by (P) Wainwright
Hit: Valentin hits a single to CF. 0 out.
Hit: Chavez hits a single to LF. J Valentin to second. 0 out.
Offensive Substitution: (P) Heilman replaced by (PH) Floyd
Out: Floyd strikes out. E Chavez holds on first. J Valentin holds on second. 1 out.
Out: Reyes flies out to CF. E Chavez holds on first. J Valentin holds on second. 2 outs.
Play: Lo Duca walks. E Chavez to second. J Valentin to third. 2 outs.
Offensive Substitution: © Lo Duca replaced by (PR) Hernandez
Out: Beltran strikes out. 3 outs.

[metirish]

Wainwright has some nasty stuff....great game, and a great season...I look forward to next season when we win it all....

Big time!

They followed 1999's disappointing finish with a pennant in 2000, and we'll do the same next year.

[Valadius]

STOP.

Take a deep breath.

Let's get a hold of ourselves right now. A lot of us have jobs or classes in the morning, and we don't want to go to sleep angry in addition to being heartbroken.

We get along pretty well here. Let's not ruin that with the aftereffects of an emotional, wrenching loss. We all come together on this forum for good-natured discussion about the Mets and other things. But at the end of the day, we've all got lives to live. Let's keep this in perspective. We've all got family, friends, and obligations. Those are far more important than the outcome of a baseball game.

This is devastating, yes. But we shall live to fight another day. In the meantime, we've gotta get our acts together and remind ourselves that this isn't the worst thing that could happen to us. Keep it in perspective.

Thank you.

[Willets Point]

You're welome. And thank you.

[metirish]

Fuck this shit..Up Tipperary...
