If Steve Rogers starts a magic number countdown thread today, I say we all strangle him.

Is Victorino out already? I still see Delgado and Romero smiling at me.

Was he stretching to a triple, or trying to advance on the throw? Either way, he shouldn't have made the third out at third, but because of his clutch double, I'll forgive him.

IBB to Wright. They WANT to face Delgado!

]J. Werth flied out to deep center For those watching on TV, was this at all scary, or did Beltran have it all the way?

Fasten your seatbelts!

Ugh! Hit by pitch! Werth coming up to bat!

I see Endy's in the game. Who's their best choice to lead off the 8th? There's Anderson, A. Reyes, and Schneider and Cancel. Am I forgetting anyone?

My question becomes moot: - D. Easley popped out to shallow right - R. Castro lined out to right Perez will pitch the 8th and is due to lead off in the bottom of the inning.

Question: If Perez comes to the plate this inning with runners on and the score still tied, do you hit for him? (It would either be bases loaded, one out, or two on and two out.)

Perez vs. Howard with two out and a runner on third. Odds favor a strikeout, I'd say.

Voting for the Mets miserable loss to the Phillies on Tuesday will close on Friday morning: Schaefer POTG 7/22/08 - Phillies 8, Mets 6 Seven voters so far: themetfairy, Rockin' Doc, Benjamin Grimm, John Cougar Lunchbucket, Gwreck, soupcan and metirish.

This will be the second time for Evans in the 2-hole. He hit there on the Sunday before the All-Star break against Colorado and went 2 for 3.

I only wanted to include games I remember without having to look them up. If my memory needs refreshing, then they're not memorable enough. I came up with seven wins, and three losses. Very heavily weighted towards the 1980's. October 25, 1986: World Series Game Six. 'Nuff said! Opening Day 1985: Gary Carter celebrates his Mets debut with a walkoff homer against Neil Allen. April 1983: Tom Seaver's return to the Mets. April 1985: The 18-inning game against the Pirates with Rusty making a running catch in the outfield. June 27, 1972: My second game, and first Mets win. A three-run homer by Jim Fregosi! September 1988: Mets clinch NL East. April 2005: My first game at Shea as a dad, as I bring my 8-year-old son to his first Mets home game. Pedro Martinez vs. Al Leiter. Mets win on a walkoff hit by Ramon Castro. October 1988: Mike Scoscia homers off Doc Gooden in NLCS Game 4. September 11, 1987: Terry Pendleton's homer puts a crimp in the Mets hopes of repeating. October 1986: World Series Game One. A lifetime dream is fulfilled, I'm attending a World Series game at Shea Stadium! I only found out I was going a few hours before it was time to go to the ballpark. (I had a friend who knew somebody...) Mets lose, though, 1-0 on an error by Tim Teufel.

I've always been Nell Carter!

Been there. Done that. http://archives.cranepoolforum.net/2000/f9_t2053.shtml

You know, I'm thinking I could probably slap together a merge feature. Maybe I'll do that some day. (Merged from Condolences to Petey, 7/25/2008)

Maine 4 Reyes 4 Schoeneweis 0.3 Smith 0.2 Wagner 0.5 Easley 1

I really wish this forum offered a "merge threads" feature. (Merged from Condolences to Petey, 7/25/2008)

Yeah! Did he say both words? Or did he perform both acts?

I have no idea who the TBA would be. Is Vargas or Armas available? Me, I'd kinda like to see Jon Niese get a cup of sugar.

What's a "complete game"?
