Reyes shows some pop. :D Ya know, ealy on when he smacked 2 vs the Phils, i was thinkin he may hit 20 homers this season. :lol: That was his 5th.

Glavine has thrown 61 pitches thru 4.Allowed 1 hit with 3Ks.

Atlanta wins.2 two run homers by Chipper (Loves Shea/Kills Mets) JonesHudson pitches a complete game,allowing 7 hits.

Braves are up 4-2 in the 9th.No score yet in the Asstros or Phils games, both in the 1st.

We need some kind of spark.Maybe he can provide it.

interesting responses and I thank u all.Some I agree with. Some have enlightened me.Ill have more to say about this in due time.

A loss is a loss.A win is a win.Thats the way I have to look at the last few. If I get stuck on the particulars, like the bullpen explosion, or Bensons not quite whole inning pitched, Id go crazy.In baseball, there are many ways to lose and win and all I care about when my head hits the pillow (this season, at this point)is where the Mets are as opposed to where the teams they are chasing are. Its true the Mets have been bad away from Shea, but now is the time to swing that pendelun the other way.They really need to string a weeks worth of wins together. They need, and more sooner than later, a winning streak. Ill settle for 5 in a row. The fact that they must do this on the road makes it all so much more to ask, but im askin.Because , as far as the WC goes, its the team that can put together a winning streak at this time thats gonna edge ahead and take it.And its there for the taking.

I dont make it to Shea as much as I used to. Havent been to Shea at all this year.Before the BB strike in the early 90s, Id still make half a dozen games even though I lived hundreds of miles away.When I was growing up in NYC, Id see at least one a weekend, many times 2, and easily ended up going to around 30 games a season thru the 70s. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the playoffs in '73 and '88.But the way I remember Met fans as a whole in no way seems to compare with what I read about the fans who attend games these days.Met fans (when I was a regular game goer) were a much more compassionate lot. Maybe because we lost more than we won then, for the most part. Then came the teams of the later 80s, and we ate it up. It was a real kool time for Met fans. We began to win more than we lost.But it wasnt totally about winning. It was more about just being there and takin what they gave ya. Nobody liked to lose, but we could accept it. Im know at times we booed Met players, but even then we did it with a smile and it would all be forgotten before the game was even over. Because these were the Mets. And we supported our team come rain or shine, win or loss, great play or embarrassing error. Awsum or horrendous outing. Booming homer or stinkin wiff.Today I read how Met fans 'turned' on the team during the bullpen meltdown the other night to the point of hurling racist remarks at Met players from the stands. This is a quote from The Daily News:"...Hielman was serenaded with chants about Hitler, Danny Graves had his Veitnamese heritage ridiculed and Dae-Sung Koo was mocked viciously."Who are these asshole fans? Why should they even contemplate going there in regards to their own team? That kinda shit, if it has to be used at all, should be reserved for the opposition.I know in todays game, with all the $$$ flowin into a team, certain results are expected. And Im not knocking stuff like 'the boo birds' because a team should hear boos from their own crowd when its appropriete. The voice of the fan can and should be tuff to deal with when a team underachieves. (in my view, this team has been more so overachieving, since at seasons start I thought we would probly linger around .500 most of the summer and and fall off after the break).And you have to take what they give you. And stick with your team.Remember the game when Anderson hit the inside the park homer to tie, and Floyd clobbered one in extra frames to win it? I was jumpin around the room, dancin for joy. What a game. And some teams dont even give their fans even one game like that all season.But these fans I read about......are these the Met fans of today?Is this how they support their team?By tryin to bring them lower at a point when they certainly must be feeling low. Maybe these people just go to games to redicule players, and not to provide the positive aspects of what a home crowd supposed to provide a team.Now the Mets players are hitting the road, and maybe they are glad to be getting away from their own playing field. Maybe they wonder why should they give it all they have left when they have to be subjugated to such bullshit at the hands of thier own contingent.Its dismaying and embarrassing to read how people who attend Met games these days seem to have have no heart whatsoever.No compassion. They dont create a support structure that the team they choose to follow, wether win or lose, deserves.Is this the price of todays spiraling saleries and having a team that contends, or is expected to contend on a regular basis?Does a team have to win it all and perform flawlessly to gaiin the love and respect of todays fans??It makes me wonder what some of these fans are in it for...........Maybe its a good thing I havent been to Shea at all this year.I hate getting into fights and there may be some attendees in need of an ass kickin.

Jacobs:3.5Graves:1.5Hielman:1Anderson:1.5Diaz:1.5Padilla:1

But Wright Ks. Guess he was hopin for something in.Sheeeeee-it.Well, at least there was that Kaboom by Jacobs.It wasnt a total waste to sit thru.What a time for benson to have jacknada.shame.

ughh.whats Castro lookin at?

JACOBS first MLB atbat-THREE RUN HOMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe in the power of fan positive thinking.All thats needed here is some concentration..Met Fans! Unite And Assemble!(....and using the power of positive thought and amplified brain waves, they tried to aid their team.).....I smell something burning.
