  1. I don't find Utley to be at all appealing.
  2. Not to mention the butcher, the baker, and the people on the streets.
  3. I agree with that.
  4. MLB.com says "TBD vs. Matz" for Game 4.
  5. My impression is that it's three, but I don't know if Mattingly has said for certain. I'm assuming Kershaw in Game 4 and Greinke in Game 5.
  6. I was baffled by his baseball card when I was a kid. 1971 was the first year I followed the Mets, and here was this guy on a current Mets baseball card, and I had never heard of him!
  7. Wow! Interesting! What if he shows up and they find out he's already gained 120 pounds of off-season weight?
  8. Yes, that didn't occur to me as events were unfolding, because I was more interested in the events that were unfolding, but in retrospect Terry seemed to have accepted all this rather timidly. I don't know that a full-scale freakout would have changed anything, but he appears to have shrugged it off. I didn't watch any of the post-game coverage, so I don't know what Terry may have said. I also think I'm going to pass on SNY's playoff show tonight. The best thing for my sanity is to try to ignore Mets news coverage as much as possible until it's time for Monday's game.
  9. Frayed Knot wrote: Plus the Dodger season is ending on Tuesday. I sure hope so! My current feeling is that this series will probably end in one of two ways: Mets in four or Dodgers in five. I don't think the Dodgers will win both games in Queens, but the Mets might. But if there's a split, it's Greinke again at Dodger Stadium for Game 5, and I suspect that the Dodgers would win that game.
  10. I'm surprised that the Mets didn't file a protest. (Or did they? It doesn't seem that they did.) What I'd like to see happen is the play be ruled a double play and the game resumed from that point. And a magical instant healing potion applied to Ruben Tejada's leg. But I'm afraid that both of the above are equally unlikely to happen.
  11. I don't know how much it matters, but Herrera was sent home, and Campbell is on standby in Port St. Lucie. I imagine he'll be the guy. He'd be an "emergency shortstop", I'd think, and Wilmer will try to play every inning at shortstop. Definitely not ideal, but that's where we are.

  13. TransMonk wrote: I wasn't a fan of Terry's pitcher management tonight, either. Me neither, but at least it ultimately didn't matter. But it really could have. I guess I won't be going to bed giddy tonight. I'll probably actually sleep better than I would have had the Mets won.
  14. Let's get a bloop and a blast here!
  15. Ripken doesn't understand that not everyone is immune to injury.
  16. Fractured fibula is the report on Ruben. Watching the replay it's hard to see how he broke his leg; he landed on his back.
  17. My guess is Eric Campbell, and he (or Kelly Johnson) would only play shortstop in an emergency situation. I believe they can replace Ruben during the series. He would be ineligible to play in the NLCS but could (in theory) play again in the World Series.
  18. Edgy MD wrote: When they come back, Terry may be disappointed he burned through his pen. I know. Niese could have pitched the 8th. Colon didn't need to come out after one batter. I'm not nearly as impressed with Terry Collins as the press seems to be.
  19. TransMonk wrote: I'm also worried about the sudden lack of SS on this team. All Flores all the time? Kelly Johnson played a little shortstop this year, but if I recall correctly, nobody hit the ball to him. David Wright has played shortstop too, but I wouldn't want to put him there at this point in his career. They can activate Eric Campbell. He's played 6 innings in the big leagues at shortstop.
  20. Ron Darling was saying the Mets should have done an appeal play before Reed threw his first pitch.
  21. Edgy MD wrote: Can't see why the brought in Bartolo only to bump him. Me neither. Now Niese is coming in. It's starting to look like a mop-up role.
  22. The injury is to Ruben's right leg.
