Judging by the look on Willie's face we won't be seeing much of Gomez for a while. Way to go asshole.

How about we score 8 runs in the top?

Atlanta's tragic number?

When did Willie change his last name to LaRussa?

Busy IGT. 'Course it's a 9-6 game that will effectively last about 6 hours or more.

It's spelled with a u and no e.

WFAN morons give him shit all the time. PLEASE don't forget he came back in about a week after breaking his face on Mike Cameron's head.

There are bruises and then there are bruises.

The Phillies may have got a few breaks from questionable calls or a few cheap hits, but ultimately a good team needs to find a way to win against adverse circumstances. Against the Phillies, the Mets have repeatedly failed to make plays or get hits at crucial times. As I see it, in the last two series between the Mets and Phillies, the Phillies have outplayed the Mets in the late innings when the game is on the line. Yes, the majority of the games have been close, but the Mets have repeatedly made sloppy plays or dubious decisions that have led to their defeats. The Mets offense has repeatedly failed to expand upon early leads. The Mets bullpen has frequently failed to protect those leads in the late innings, while the Phillies bullpen seems to be a mystery the Mets hitters just can't solve. I truly believe that the Mets are the superior team, but they certainly haven't demonstrated that in recent head to head matchups with the Phillies. This was all true against the Braves too, and then we kicked the crap out of them for 6 out of 7. It's just the swings of baseball. I don't think we should read too much into seven games.

I like that smiley.

I thought the Mets couldn't beat the Braves.

Good stuff. Good to see you .

I'm not surprised.

I expect that type of dumb shit from Rob Dibble.

LOL @ McCann

Someone explain to me why Conine > Green?

It's getting to the point where I wince when Castillo runs.
