1-1 as the Cards answer back. Rolin smacks one. Yea WP--Endy wouldnt caught that one.

Waht did Belliard do? Stick his finger in an electrical outlet or something? mmm-thats interesting-his new doo. He looks like the fourth stooge.

I thought that happened in 1997 with Jaret Wright and Levan Hernandez, but I guess that wasn't game #1. ..interesting. Okay--I need to be more interested in this series. Can anyone else say something to make this more interesting? 1-0 Tiggers score 1st, in the 1st of the 1st game.

lookin at NLCS pics for the cards. Wont use this for that, but Ill use this for this: *Hit quote and add your caption at the bottom of the quote box for the Valentin pic.. CAPTION THIS:

="Yancy Street Gang"]Those composite shots are great, Zvon. Here's my "old school" take on Endy's catch: http://www.leaptoad.com/mets/jpeg/EndyChavez1972.jpg AWSUM!!! Love retro-esp that '72 "IN ACTION" look. I remember going "WOW! KOOL!" everytime I saw one. Even the Willie Mays, which was such a bad action shot of him sliding into a base, iirc. Seaver was kinda dull too-him on the mound smilin and slappin his glove. On some of those "IN ACTION" cards they chose to use some very interesting, non typical, shots.

"ROOOOOOGERS!" your moving up my shit list!

DocTee wrote: Awesome-- "The strength to be there" --emblazoned on the outfield wall-- sorta sums up Endy's effort (and the Mets great season). that it does. I have 3 of those four images of Chavez as clear (no backround) cutouts that can be placed anywhere (like colorforms) on the original pic (the Chavez far left-looking at pic- is the one thats part of the original pic-thus fixed in place). So, what Im asking, I guess, is which is the preferable layout. And does the colored up one look kool, or what? All I did there was oversaturate the resulting layout/pic. The result, different colors, was just an odd side effect of doing that. I didnt re-color the individual Chavez's. I can make the Chavez's appear even more closely together, or farther apart..... can make them different sizes,.. see thru...lots of ways i can go with the layout. Any suggestions? Im not sure which of the ones I made I prefer, or if I should mess around with it some more....... And has anyone found any pics/versions of the catch that I didnt use here? (I searched for all pics available last night after game-found around 6 or 7-similar view but mili-seconds apart. Some were crops from bigger shots) I gotta thank Endy for making this catch, cuz if he didnt give me that to remember, I would have been so much more bummed last night. What a catch--we'll be seein the replay forever--and to see METS emblazoned across the chest of the man who made that catch...... priceless. Worth it all. Thnk u Endy.

Im an NL man-always root for the NL team. But this NL team knocked out my Mets. Gonna root for the Tiggers. Leyland, those pitchers, those motor city batters. They havent gone this far for a long, long time. Gotta go with Detriot.

I'll also pay shipping and buy you a drink at the next CPF event. And if you were looking forward to smashing the tape into pieces, I can send it back to you after I make a copy. I wish you proposed this before the game. I coulda made the DVD 4 ya. That would be so kool if you were caught on tape during the game 88. Hope thats the case.

ditto, ditto, ditto. Great year-lots a fun. Did see, or keep abreast of in real time, more Met ball games than I can ever remember during any other season. It was well worth it- great team showed me a great time. _______________________________________________________ Seawolf-go and change your avacard.(plz) I had like over 100 of those cards, both variations. Bought em, saved em, cherished em. I thought they were money in the bank. Turns out they were just cardboard with Gregg Jeffries picture on em.

I will finish these fake baseball cards eventually. More sooner than later. But Im gonna step off a bit to properly grieve the end of the run. I did whip up some special work, on THE CATCH. Not sure which Ill use for the card.

Willets Point wrote: That's my point. The Cards have only just now gone ahead despite the Cubs being in a pennant drought for the past 61 years. That is pretty wack.

we hear ya Jay. we feel ya. is this worth a whole thread? I dunno..... Just kiddin! It really was devastating. And your right--expectations--I dont think I ever had such faith in a Met team- a Met lineup...--- such potential--not even in the 80s. And it was the bats that let us down--surprising. But thats baseball. So... the next season starts now. Lets get some pitching. Lets fix whats broke. Lets field even a better team next year. Lets win even more games. Lets Go Mets!

^that is the koolest mm^

...watchin hightlights. The first strike/pitch to Beltran--that was the pitch. He took it-- cant blame him if that was his gameplan--take til a strike.. But that was the pitch he coulda KABOOMED. Hey-such is baseball. Such is fate. So it goes.

="Willets Point"]Next year. and the 2007 schedule is already here on board? Damn--this place rocks!

If anyone feels the need to ask why I gave Heilman a point in the final game of this metificent season, can it. Its not open for discussion.
