With the Met win, the Phillies are the first team mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Either a Metly win or Phillie loss would've done it but the Met game ended first so that's when it became official. 9/9

Between this and the gentleman in the other thread it's good to know some things never change but I love you Steve

I hope he tears a rotator cuff. Yup. Well except for the rotator cuff part

Did anyone here actually read what Harvey said? Here it is: ... It's also obvious from the italicized portion that he's dissociating himself from Boras's statement.... The facts are that Harvey wants to pitch and is not talking about shutting himself down. So then why doesn't Harvey come out and say what you claim he said? He's had a gazillion [/hype] microphones stuck in his face in the past 24 hours. He's had every chance to clarify this story. Me, I think Harvey's been handled poorly and also, that he can't help himself because he's a major stupid dope with barely any saavy. That dope point, I thought so from his breakout season. But I'm not surprised that he cares more about his future earnings than the Mets post-season chances of success. I believe that every player would prefer tens and tens of millions of dollars over a World Series ring. It's just that Harvey appears to be the first active player, as far as I can remember, to be dumb enough to more or less admit this. "Why doesnt Harvey come out and say what you claim he said?" he's a "major stupid dope" If he is a dope, it seems like you answered your own question. That's right. And your point is ....? Hey, didja get a load of all the magic number and NHOP talk going on around here lately? Think you can handle it? Way to let stuff go buddy. But since you asked I love the magic number talk and I don't think the Nats stand a chance.

He was going to be dead at the plate wasn't he?

Woohoo yes!!!!!

Just keep bunting, it's been working all year Terry.

Did anyone here actually read what Harvey said? Here it is: �I�m going to always play, but like I said, I hired Dr. Andrews to do my surgery and I hired Scott for a reason and that�s to prolong my career and put me in the best possible position,� Harvey said before the Mets faced the Marlins on Saturday. �Moving forward with that I have one start in mind and that�s Tuesday [against Washington]. �I�m the type of person I never want to put the ball down. I hired Scott and went with Dr. Andrews because I trusted them to keep my career going and keep me healthy,� Harvey said. �As far as being out there, being with my teammates and playing, I�m never going to want to stop, but as far as the surgeon and my agent having my back and kind of looking out for the best of my career they�re obviously speaking their mind about it.� (italics added) This may be the most noncommittal answer in the history of sports. But there's one very important thing left out: that he was going to follow Boras's and Andrews's advice on innings. It clearly sounds like a statement where he doesn't agree with Boras and also doesn't want to mess up their working relationship. It's also obvious from the italicized portion that he's dissociating himself from Boras's statement. It's also untrue that Harvey was unhappy about the six-man rotation. He made a comment to the effect that it messed up his routine, but never indicated that he was against the idea. The entire affair is just a way for the tabloids to sell newspapers. The facts are that Harvey wants to pitch and is not talking about shutting himself down. Thanks you for this dose of reality, Chuck. I feel much better now.

If the Mets finish 20-21 the Nats have to go 25-16 to tie. If my math is right. Someone teased me about 2007 the other day. It was meant in fun but my stomach hurt the rest of the day.

I would but he's already pressed charges.

Well they got him out. That was a shot though.

This is kind of fun. I like to visit Coors Field but I wouldn't want to live there.

LAS VEGAS 8, ALBUQUERQUE 0 LAS VEGAS 3, ALBUQUERQUE 2: After getting skipped Friday because of food poisoning, Noah Syndergaard pitched strongly in his return to the rotation in Game 1 of a doubleheader. Syndergaard tossed a seven-inning complete game, blanking Albuquerque while surrendering only two hits. He issued no walks and struck out nine. Syndergaard threw 83 pitches (62 strikes). Matt Reynolds went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBIs and three runs scored. Johnny Monell also drove in three runs. In Game 2, Alex Castellanos broke a 2-all tie with a sixth-inning homer.

Familia is 8 for 8 in saves in the 13 wins. That's pretty amazin. 13 total for 20th all time, tied with LaTroy Hawkins and Doug Henry. Next up is Anthony Young (!!) with 18. 30 for the season would put him at 35 total good for 13th place. Parnell is 12th with 36. What happens when Parnell comes back anyway? It's a nice problem to have.

His crew gave him this "That guy's a loser, just leave him there to bleed" attitude, and Freddy turned away with them. Peer pressure. Still, one might expect an official closing of that circle, either through a reconciliation or a "You weren't THERE for me, Freddy!" outburst from Daniel. Freddy was there rubbing Daniel san's head and high fiving him after the tourney. Bandwagoners

This is fun.
