Looks like a toss up.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I'd like to think Curtis is on their 'A' lineup, especially after a day off. This game
is huge, the series is huge. Plus the 'buckets are there, gotta win one for them.

Rubin reports Niese has a sore knee and Gsellman will pitch if needed.

A built in excuse. Niiiice. [ /]

[Centerfield]

Mark my words. When we are all sharing a drink at the ticker tape parade, we will say to each other "I can't believe I'm saying this, but we would not be World Champions without Jonathon Niese."

Run to the title starts tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Let's get a couple right here.

[Edgy MD]

Molina almost seemed to be crying that he let Reyes steal third off of him. That's some professional pride.

[Guest themetfairy]

Tears of Joy!

[Edgy MD]

THAT'S WHAT I WAS MEANING TO INTEND TO BE TALKING ABOUT!!

I have English closed-captioning this evening on SNY, but only on SNY. Weird.

[nymr83]

I dont know why, but after the Flores homer the Mets felt more alive in the race to me than they have in a long time - maybe he can start crying again and turn things around for us!

[Guest themetfairy]

I hat Jonathon Niese.

[Zvon]

Well, I've seen enough of Niese already. Gsellman please.

3-1 Mets

Like that

[Zvon]

Oh yea, the knee. It was so bad he started. Hit the showers Hawkboy.

[ashie62]

Time for the remote, or something.

[Zvon]

Puma via twttr: Might as well go ahead and DL Niese tomorrow to get another pitcher here.

I agree.

[Zvon]

awwwww. I always want the new guy to do good.

3-2 Mets

[Guest d'Kong76]

Easy come and easy...

It's amazing how quickly the air can get sucked out of our balloon.
Wilmer's got another in him.

3-3 Mets

[Zvon]

Gsellman just wanted to clear the bases of Niese's mess and start over.

[Centerfield]

Gsellman has another 5 scoreless in him tonight.

Hopefully that is the last we have seen of Jon Niese as a Met. I'm ready for Ynoa and Gsellman to take us to the playoffs.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

I step out to mow the lawn and find a 3-3 tie and Niese out of the game. And now we have a guy making his major-league debut in the first game of a must-wine series.

You have to love the Mets a whole lot to keep from hating them.
