It's a mismatch. Chicago is going down.

That song was lousy the first time.




We should have more runs.

[Frayed Knot]

Yay!

They survive leaving a small village on base in the early innings and an offensive shut-down against the Cubs' pen thanx to a great day from Figueroa with help from Stokes & Frankie.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nelson sure does have his moments.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I believe in those moments.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I slept through most of this game but got the general impression the 09 Cubs are like the 07 Mets -- they also wouldn't have completed a crucial home sweep despite a seeming mismatch. I was surprised to awaken to the Mets continuing to hold a lead.
