There had to be a play at the plate there. There was plenty of time. Young screwed up there.

Ha! Let him swing 3-0. Someone sucks over there.

So are we really gonna make Matt sweat it out with one run? Come-on Mets.

lol. Scully don't crack me up like Keith. They should remake that Popeye movie and Mattingly should play Popeye. Satin will take it.

lol.Serious, mandatory bunting drill today.

Whoa^ that scared me. Harvey has a run before he even takes the mound. That's a switch. OE: that ones not as scary.

Frayed Knot wrote: Using BB-Ref's definition of a blow-out being more than five runs, the Mets this year are 14-16 That don't suck. I thought that would be worse.

Interesting stuff. Alls I can say is they keep themselves in the game. How many big blow outs have we had, win and lose?

Davis 1.5 Flores 1.5 Buck 1.5 Quintanilla 1.5 Baxter 0.3 Mejia 2 Torres 0.2

(Plus I remember very clearly the Mets in their road uniforms that day, having just made the discovery at six years old that my team wore something different and were greeted not that fondly when they played away from Shea.) Thanks G. Are there photos in that article and if I register can I see them? There are photos with the stories, but since the stories are PDFs of the original newspaper accounts, they're more like photocopies of photos. But you can see clearly the Mets are dressed for the road and the Braves are surely at home. I registered but have yet to buy the story. I think I will though. I would think all the photos are B&W. It would have to be a real good pic if I'm gonna colorize it. So far I got this for game one of the playoffs. This photo is from a mid season game vs. Pittsburg, IIRC. Life magazine did a pictorical. It could pass although Seaver was not on the mound for the final out. Ron Taylor capped this game with a 2 inning save (final 1-0). I wish I had a good photo of him in action to use. He pitched some crucial innings in the post. batmagadanleadoff wrote: You're now the set designer, so apply your fantasies So this has evolved into something else. I intended just to update the 70 cards to new color pics. Then thought of adding a few new cards. Now I'm thinking why not just make a whole set of cards that tell the story of the post season. Twenty or more cards. What the hell, why not? If I do this up right I should include card backs that tell the story the photos depict. Is anybody interested in doing the write-ups for the card backs? Instead of a boxscore and stats on the back (maybe one card should have that for each game) there will be a description/details of the action. The typical baseball card kind of write-up. I'll give credit to anyone who wants to get involved. I figure to make a blog or some kind of set up to display these.

That was kinda quiet. Well, if the umps are all for the Dodgers nothing should stop em.

Yea, chew that gum Turner. Be careful though. Wouldn't want you to choke on that too. Looks at a 3rd strike. And it was a strike.

OO, lets make Mattingly regret this...oh, he is gonna make the change. Terrys right. That was a delay of game there.

Ah shit, Muffy was all over that and Puig chases it down. Ugh, these umps. Its a conspiracy I tells ya.

This is too big a spot to have a borderline call go the other way. But the counts full! HE RINGS HIM UP! OMG, that was a bad call. So we get fucked by 2 umps in one at bat.

UGH! BULLSHIT!!!

Bases loaded, one out, Lagares. We gotta plate one here.

It's not the source of the notes that's the problem, it's that he needs to rely on them so much because he doesn't know enough about the other team to speak without them. Gary works with notes and stats (everyone does) but he's also just such a baseball junkie that he can deviate from them or add to them on his own. Scully obviously can't. That's what happens when you're 80-whatever and have cut back on your schedule to where you only rarely see the east teams (Scully doesn't travel anywhere east of Denver). Scully is like Ralph a bit in that he knows the old stories better than the new ones. Oh. I thought he still did more games. As with Ralph, I'll let them slide out of respect. But looks like Vin should cut down even more. Not only Garys knowledge but his experiences as a Met fan. We are so fortunate to have a broadcaster who grew up right along with us and the team and its not just a job to him. Its his calling.

Puig was kind of valdespinish there on the sac fly. Like he hit a homer. Id put one right off the tip of his nose next time up.

Just passing 80 pitches. He has to be able to keep it up at least thru six. Come on Jenrry. That was a nice pitch to K Ethier.

Bear down Mejia. Ugh, a well placed single and then keystone cops bullshit.
