Get it together, people

The seemingly mightiest team scratched out a 1-0 win behind a hot pitcher.

We're still winning thies series Pythagoras-wise, 1.6 games to 0.4 (or 1.563 to 0.437 if you prefer the 1.84 exponent).

The Mets have still shut down baseball's mightiest hitter to the tune of 0-7 with a walk over the two games.

We've got a day game today and we need to gake this NLCS-preview series, not Pythaogras-wise, but reality-wise, people. Now pick your sulking heads up, start typing, and get in the game. Stop draggin' your freakin' wagon.

Oh and yeah, Lima's pitching.

Sorry, I'm in a mild state of deprssion with the fact that the Mets don't have
the balls to throw some youngin' to the Cardolves this afternoon instead of
Lima. Never liked him, don't now, want him gone.

My prediction is that he'll be gone by the fourth inning today...

I don't see how our youngin's could be counted on to give us anything more than Lima has. The only good youngin' we have is said to rely on his fastball too much, and I shudder to think what the Cards' lineup would do to that fastball if he can't get his breaking stuff over.

I'm depressed because we don't have a #3 to slot in ahead of Trax and Bannister. And unless we pick one up, it's going to be tough to win anything this year.

Anyway, enough wound-licking, Marquis is hittable, we win today, we take the series on the road against the best team in the NL, and Lima is "due" for a good start.

I hear ya'. I do. But I've got something for a mild state of depression. And that's Jose Lima's modestly encouraging numbers versus St. Louis batsmen.

It won't help an overwhelming state of depression --- ennui, das niederdrücken --- shit like that, but for stuff like doelfulness, dolorousness, and the blahs, it's good for what ails you. Been proven effective in 61% of heavyheartedness cases also.

Hello, world, here the song that we're singin'
C'mon get happy!
A whole lot of lovin' is what we'll be bringin'
We'll make you happy!

We had a dream, we'd go travelin' together,
We'd spread a little lovin' then we'd keep movin' on.
Somethin' always happens whenever we're together
We get a happy feelin' when we're singing a song.

Trav'lin' along there's a song that we're singin'
C'mon get happy!
A Whole lot of lovin' is what we'll be bringin'
We'll make you happy!
We'll make you happy!
We'll make you happy!

Hey....I found the Kool-Aid!

That game last night was riveting. I was hanging on every pitch. I’m thinking if this is only mid-May, we got an incredible season of great baseball ahead of us.

Sorry… I didn’t mean to interrupt all the wound licking.

Another thing: Trax shut down the Cards, maybe not in a winning effort, but shut them down he did, which may mean he's found his groove, which may mean more wins down the road.

Aces.

As I said, it won't help with ennui or das niederdrücken.

Angst and existential despair are right out. Anybody got anything for those?
