The Cubs really missed the boat on that last year didn't they? With all that Back to the Future stuff they were doing. "Team of Density" shirts would have been awesome.

3 catchers for a 1 game series? dumb. there had to be a better hitter than Plawecki to choose from. Nimmo?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Doodoo not on the list?!?

eh, d'Arnaud is a better (potentially much) hitter than RRivera and a few of those back end bench guys. It's the lack of Duda that's concerning.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

And wtf, Edgin over Smokie? Guy is fat and can barely break glass anymore

[ashie62]

Today would have been Ashie1's birthday. I would like to think we have an "Angel in the Outfield." Miss you love.

[G-Fafif]

Nimmo did some solid pinch-hitting in September, minuscule sample size notwithstanding. I wonder how much of a lock Conforto was over him.

I've had the impression that Terry feels that Duda been somewhat compromised over the last week, so I'm not terribly surprised. Terry either feels that Duda is hurt or hasn't worked all the kinks out from his lost time. (I'm not saying this is true or false, by the way.) Hopefully there will be a roster for Friday's game and Lucas will be able to be on it.

[G-Fafif]

Marc Carig reports Mets not convinced Lucas isn't rusty (if not Rusty), but that they anticipate him being on the NLDS roster if there is an NLDS roster.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

So Rivera at 2B, Plawecki at 1B?

Johnson 2B, Rivera 1B?

I suppose the latter more realistic but I wouldn't kill Terry for trying the former.

It's gonna be Rivera/Loney unfortunately. I'd like to get Johnson in there.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Kelly Johnson apparently took himself out of the running for getting the start at first base. Says he's not comfortable enough there and that Loney would do a better job.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oh well. Fans uselessly waste a ton of energy fretting over the lineup every night. It's a sucker's game over the course of a year, but like this is the one time where it actually matters.

[Centerfield]

How great would it be if TJ Rivera were to be the hero tonight. Hometown kid. Journeyman minor leaguer. Beating the best post-season pitcher in baseball right now.

Excited and nervous. October baseball.

[ashie62]

I'm going with T.J. Rivera/Loney

[TransMonk]

Reyes 3B
Cabrera SS
Cespedes LF
Granderson CF
TJ Rivera 2B
Bruce RF
R Rivera C
Loney 1B
Syndergaard RHP

[Lefty Specialist]

Shit's about to get real, kids. I hope Syndergaard isn't anywhere near as nervous as I am.

no reason to be nervous when you're prepared.

[A Boy Named Seo]

No to dis on poor J-Lo, he's been a fine stand-in for us when he needed a warm-blooded first baseman. But damn, if we had to have that extra LH bat in the lineup, I wish we coulda worked Kelly Johnson in there instead of Loney. Make a fool of me, James.

[TransMonk]

A do-or-die playoff lineup including Reyes, Loney and Rivera x2? NO ONE could have seen that coming at the start of the season.

Win or lose, it emphasizes what a wild ride it has been!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Span CF
Belt 1B
Posey C
Pence RF
Crawford SS
Pagan LF
Panik 2B
Gillaspie 3B
Bumgarner P

[Centerfield]

Fuck man. We are running out of time for someone to get into a bar fight with Bumgarner or for him to trip over a wet towel or something.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I've been trying to Skype him an "impingement" but it doesn't seem to be working.

[A Boy Named Seo]

All good, yall. Cespedes is wearing the magick blonde on his head now, too.

Great picture, that woman is the club chef ....

A friend purchased two tickets on Stub Hub Tuesday afternoon, $180 a ticket, transaction went through only for him to get a email later saying tickets were gone, he was so upset and rightly so.

[metirish]

Ha, Martino bailed on taking a pick for the game during Baily News Live , gave some excuse about it being impossible in a one game playoff.....

Did he get swindled? Or the tix just get pulled?

[metirish]

Tix got pulled , got the money back, still, shouldn't happen.

[A Boy Named Seo]

No doubt, especially when you already lied to the boss about why you gotta leave early and begged the sitter to come on short notice.
