How can we, as a group, do better?

[Guest cooby classic]

Are we sitting at the wrong end of the couch? Have the pillows fluffed wrong? Wearing the wrong stuff and eating the wrong food?

I'm serious.

I went to bed last night at 9:30. The Mets were ahead 1-0. I wasn't feeling cocky or anything but I felt it was okay.

Last night was my fault.

Everybody recheck your positions tomorrow night! I'll be on the far end of the couch with some Rooster Red if I have to be!


BTW I only have to bail on Monday and Wednesday nights. Do they have next Monday off? I so, I'll be there for the rest of the games! Well, on the couch at least

[seawolf17]

I seriously blame Peanut. He gave up in the middle of the 14th Tuesday night, and last night, got up and went to bed in the bottom of the 8th. I can't have him giving up on us like that.

[Lefty Specialist]

Nothing I tried worked. My Murphy shirt has lost its mojo.

Perhaps I need to go counterintuitive and pull out my Lastings Milledge shirt.

[metsmarathon]

minimm has been staying up to watch the first innings of these games so far. it appears to be a proximal factor, but i hope to disprove it tomorrow.

[dgwphotography]

I blame the dumbass Kill KILL KILL mantra. It was ok during the Dodgers series because of Utley, but now it's just plain dumb...

[Edgy MD]

Well, it's ON YOU to find another mantra. DANCE DANCE DANCE? WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA? Give me something.

I blame the hope of playing in Kansas City so that the Mets could be there Opening Day 2016 while the Royals raise the AL Championship flag.

Now there's a distinct possibility that the Mets will have to be there to watch the Royals hoist the World Series flag and get their rings.

[Centerfield]

Yeah. I fucked this up badly too. I saw that Toronto lineup and wanted nothing to do with them. I would love if Toronto tagged in and we had to play them for the remaining 5 games.

I don't know about the rest of you, but my good luck seat on the couch, good luck volume setting and lucky drawers are all out of mojo.

The only thing I can think of is that I have clearly not been drinking enough.

I switch to Glenlivet 12 on Friday night.

You need to drink with D-Dad one day - he's way into scotch these days.

If the Mets bring the series back to Kansas City next week, come down to our place for a game!

[Guest d'Kong76]

I think we could loosen up a bit and sing and smile more...

I want to get seriously drunk on Friday night. damn parental responsibility.

I did break out the special Mets beer mug for the World Series. guess I'll put that away. Was drinking Maine beers too (though I did switch to a fresh-hop beer from Brooklyn halfway through yesterday) maybe I should break out the Brooklyn Brewery Silver Anniversary.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I have a Halloween party tomorrow night so I'll be largely awol from
IGT duty. Maybe that will help! haha

[Guest d'Kong76]

Phwam!!

My daughter borrowed my Mets cap on Tuesday and wore it to preschool and left it there so I didn't have my cap for either game. I wore that cap for all the Mets postseason wins. I need that cap back.

[MFS62]

I think the answer lies in the title to the thread (currently) beneath this one - Blackmail.
What can we dig up on Eric Hosmer?

Yes, you do

Holy crap! How could you?
You've got to go to the pre-school and get that cap. Do anything it takes, even if it means becoming the lead story on the 6 O'clock News.

I was in California and Oregon for the Cubs series. I was here, however, for the Dodgers series. Thinking about at least leaving my house and watching Game 3 in a bar as maybe the home thing is no longer working.

Clear eyes. Full throats. Don't lose.

I wore a non-Mets tee shirt. My laundress has received a stern talking to on this subject. Of course I was wearing a Mets shirt for game 1 also. So, perhaps, I can just blame Obama like the red staters do.

[Gwreck]

I acted as an adult and honored responsibilities and commitments instead of blowing them off and hopping a plane to go to KC to see the games.

I am intending to right that wrong by going to the game Friday night.

LWFS is right. We need some Coach Taylor to get us back on track.

I left my fitted blue Mets cap at the in-laws' house after the NLCS sweep, and had to wear a less-lucky hat for the last two games. I should have known better; they jumped out to early leads when I wore it, and then locked them down when I took it off. My bad.

Edit: I mean, I love my orange Mr. Met hat as much as the next guy, but it's clearly not the uniform for this postseason.

[Lefty Specialist]

I'm thinking maybe I wasn't drinking enough beer. I'll try to rectify that oversight tomorrow.

Hard to argue with that kind of sound reasoning. I'll do the same.

[Edgy MD]

Which one of you is taking care of parachuting in with a banner tomorrow?

We've got this covered, right?

[Guest d'Kong76]

I wonder if FanGraphs can accurately plot the correlation between
fan alcohol intake and team success. I mean it's obvious, right?

[ashie62]

I'm just not interested as I used to be.
