Well, I wore my Seaver jersey for game one. Last night, the black one (Fri 13th and all....) Gonna go back to the Seaver jersey for this one.

wowzers-dramatic end.

="Yancy Street Gang"]There was another dumb TV graphic on Fox near the end of the game. It was titled "OVERWORKED BULLPEN?" And listed how many pitches the Mets pen had thrown this postseason. What it didn't mention is that the Mets had a four-day break between the NLDS and the NLCS. So prior to last night's game, the bullpen had only pitched two innings in the last five days. The pen is probably going to be overworked in the next few days. But going into last night's game, it certainly wasn't. FOX and ESPN started playing up this angle the second the game was over....maybe even before. I STRONGLY agree with you Yancy, that to be saying this, under the circumstances, is a great big pile of bull dooty.

Yea-i really planned on being fair and serious with the captions, but.... The fatassed comments were from JDs observations in one of his posts (think it was him)........

thnx all- its fun to make em when the Mets win---kinda like torture after a game like last night.

making these for this game---not fun.

askus3 wrote: Just my opinion. Anyone else agree? The Mets had a 6-4 lead and they brought Feliciano in to get the last out in the top of the 6th. They needed to lead off with a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the 6th, so the logical move I was saying to my daughter while we were watching the game was to do a double switch. Bring in Anderson Hernandez to bat 9th and play 2B for Valentin and lead off and bat Feliciano 7th. (Chavez made the last out in the 5th). Ironically A. Hernandez was brought in to pinch-hit. If Randolph did this he would have got more mileage out of a rested Feliciano and a better glove in the line-up for defense and no worse a hitter (than Valentin of late- both suck). And if you want to pinch hit with men on base you could even bring Woodward in later on. Thus they wasted an extra inning or two they would have got out of Feliciano. Mota would not have given up the tying triple to Spezio and who knows what might have happened. In the chess match Randolph blew it in my opinion. I was very surprised that Feliciano was used in that way. One batter-two pitches. But many times thats just what you need from your pen. Its a bit easier, in retrospect, being an armchair manager. Especially in this game. But I hear ya. Personally I even questioned the use of Mota (to myself--said "mmmm" on board) at all tonight, or at that point anyway, considering the rested pen and the other arms out there. But at first Mota looked mahhhhhvelous. I dunno-baseball is funny like that. Best laid plans and all.... Bottomline-Wagner was given the job to get us thru the ninth----- and we all had to be happy to be in that position. Ahead or tied,it looked good and was a good place to be. Wagner failed. I wonder how he writes this up in his column...........
