Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 Rubber game on the road. I feel like the last time we won one of those was 2009.Good stuff.
Gwreck Old-Timey Member Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 We actually won 2 rubber games on the road in September last year, on 9/8/10 at Washington and 9/26/10 at Philadephia. We lost the 8 other road rubber games that year.The last time we WON a road rubber game when we weren't hopelessly out of the playoff race was probably June 7, 2009 in Washington.
Guest The Second Spitter Guests Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Case anybody missed it - tHere was a nice story during the game about Carlitos approaching and mentoring Duda when we was slumping last year. He even took him out for a nice dinner.

Maybe the players dislike Hamels as much as I do and are ready to give him the pounding he so richly deserves.Pelfrey-Blanton? I guess.Niese-Halladay? Put down the crack pipe.

Put down the crack pipe.Well, the Mets do tend to beat Hamels, and I think he's going to have a down year. More walks, less Ks. Hard to say Young is 'better', but I just like getting to face Hamels. Pelfrey's better than Blanton, that's an easy one.Obviously the last one is in their favor, but I do like Niese. Our offense is better, and our bullpen is better. Halladay might not be stretched out to go 8-9 effectively yet.
Guest The Second Spitter Guests Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I don't think Niese v Halladay is a lay down misere*. At the risk of sounding like Joe Morgan, you still have to put up the runs to win a ballgame. I don't know, maybe I'm drinking kool-aid.OE *dead certainty.
Gwreck Old-Timey Member Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I have no doubt that the Mets can beat Halladay; we need look no farther than Roy's last start when Houston bested him. But I will still be realistic that we are the underdog.I will be satisfied with winning one of the 3 games in Philly this series and happy with winning 2.
Ceetar Grand Central Contributor Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 For all the talk of 'getting off to a hot start', if it's worth anything, winning the series against the Phillies would go a long way towards that. Then they've got 13/16 at home, and if the home field advantage they've had holds up, (They're playing Washington, Colorado, Houston and Arizona so..) they'll be off to quite a decent start.
