I'm filled with dread.

[bmfc1]

I'm on my way to RFK. Note that Dimitri Young is out of the lineup for Washington. I hope that the Mets can generate enough offense to compensate for the expected 4 runs over 5 innings from Lawrence.

Aw, come on.

They're playing the Nationals and Marlins.

They're going to go 6-1 over this week and we'll be in a position to clinch by Tuesday of next week...maybe Wednesday.

[Benjamin Grimm]

They're playing like a team on the verge of a historic collapse.

They just suck against the Phillies. Take a couple of deep breaths and settle in for a nice Mets win tonight.

They have played like a team on the verge of a historic collapse intermittently all year. Then they play like a team on the verge of a remarkable hot streak. We're either due for the latter or the historical collapse. Though the latter would be quite the unhappy event, I can't say the downs part of the ups and downs of 2007 hasn't steeled me for it.

I'm assuming that the Meat Tree is just tired out from his battle alongside Bill Pecota against Scott Boras' contract killers.

With bmfc1 and Edgy in attendance we're sure to win.

How could you put that in print!?
Do you write for the Post?

Let us not even entertain such things until we are forced to.
Of course, the next few games will dictate this.
But please don't go to the dark side before the good guys give up something they have held all season.
First place.

The time to turn this thnking around is NOW vs. these flighty Nats.
Probably isn't logical, but the Marlins worry me more.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Whether my thoughts are sunny or dark won't impact the way the Mets play.

I'm not predicting a collapse. I'm simply fearing one.

[Valadius]

SHIT, I forgot we were playing the Nats this week. Think they'll still sell tickets after the game's started?

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Teams with nothing to lose are always dangerous.

Cy Lawrence on the hill, how can we not be nervous?

[Zvon]

I share your fears, sad to say.
And historical won't be the right word.
There has to be a larger more encompassing word.

Sorry If it appeared I jumped on you.
I'm just a lil on edge, as we all probably are.

[Valadius]

I'll just go tomorrow. At least I can finally watch the Mets on TV.

Reyes gets plunked.

[Zvon]

Bring it ya naughty Nats.

Reyes walks to start the game.
Nice way to start.

[Valadius]

Looked like a plunk. Huh.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Plunked by what?

really?
Stattracker says walk.
LOL--ill just shut up.

[Valadius]

HA!!!!! Reyes to third on the error.

[Valadius]

Nats announcers - "They're talking about Castillo being a fixture with the Mets for a number of years"

Huh?

[Zvon]

And we are on the board .

[Valadius]

Castillo sacs in Reyes.

Wright with the broken bat single.

Wright has more SBs than any Nat.

[Valadius]

BELTRAN BELTS ONE!!!!!!!!

[Gwreck]

4 batters, 3 Runs scored.

[Valadius]

Alou is the oldest player ever to have a 20-game hitting streak.

[Valadius]

21

[Zvon]

on edit: kaboom removed.

[Valadius]

Green grounds into the double play.

[Valadius]

GREAT catch by Milledge!!!
