IGT 7/27 - Mets vs. MFCards - Turn this thing around

Willets Point Jul 26 2010 10:10 AM

This is the game that will go down in history as the start of 'the streak.'

batmagadanleadoff Jul 26 2010 10:19 AM Re: IGT 7/27 - Mets vs. MFCards - Turn this thing around

I'm with you. I haven't given up. They're six games out of the WC and it's still July. Give up? Tug McGraw would be rolling over in his grave if he heard any of this give up talk.

I'm not ready to discuss the Wild Card before September 20th.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 26 2010 10:31 AM Re: IGT 7/27 - Mets vs. MFCards - Turn this thing around

Baseball Prospectus gives the Mets a 7.27046 per cent chance of making the playoffs. (4.30876 for the division, 2.96171 for the wild card.) That's down just over 16 points from seven days ago.

batmagadanleadoff Jul 26 2010 10:38 AM Re: IGT 7/27 - Mets vs. MFCards - Turn this thing around

Is that the same Baseball Prospectus that gave the Mets a 99.64% chance of making the playoffs on September 20, 2007? They're not credible.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 26 2010 10:42 AM Re: IGT 7/27 - Mets vs. MFCards - Turn this thing around

I don't think that's a reflection on their credibility; it's a reflection on how badly the Mets blew it.

I guess that my little joke wasn't that funny.

I couldn't tell if you were serious or not. I do remember, though, that there were some here who thought that the Mets collapse actually did undermine Baseball Prospectus' credibility.

Six summers ago, I was at Shea for young David Wright's first major league hit. Tomorrow night, I will be at Citi Field for the debut of our new managing/coaching team, the group that will lead us to Valhalla in October. I'm the answer, folks. ME.

Be sure to pick up Bobby Valentine or Davey Johnson on your way to Flushing.

Yup. DL for Bay. Hopefully this will be a refresher for him, and he can come back and actually contribute.

also, our wishes came true. Jerry will not manage the game tonight. suspended for 1 game.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 27 2010 03:27 PM Re: IGT 7/27 - Mets vs. MFCards - Turn this thing around

Except Bay had started to hit in the Dodger series, and was pretty much the offense on Saturday and Sunday.

Niese costs himself a run with his ill advised attempt to field a chopper over his head toward second. He deflects an easy third out into an RBI blahber. Wow, Wright saved a few runs here in the 1st with some nice glove work. This could have been much worse.

Niese gets a little wild and gets out of it in the 6th. Cards load the bases but cannot plate a run. The booths right, we cannot let the Cards back into this, no matter what. Molina is lifted. No word yet why.

That way, even if it's accidental, you pay the price because you knew that going in. That's why it's different from the HBP rules 2) It's known as not having a union.

It was like somebody flipped the switch from "off" to "on" tonight. Citi Field was surprisingly full but mostly quiet which was kind of strange. Lots of Cardinal fans in attendance, many of whom who I ran in to seemed to be doing the House of Evil (this past weekend) - Citi doubleheader. Very happy to stick it to Wainwright.
