There's a decent chance that the Mets will clinch the division tomorrow when they're idle.

If the Phills sweep today and the Mets win tonight won't they clinch it then?

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 01:24 PM

You mean the Phillies need to be swept today and the Mets to win for the Mets to win the division today.

metirish Sep 13 2006 01:31 PM

Yes indeed,thanks.

MFS62 Sep 13 2006 01:38 PM

It'll be a weird feeling rooting for Atlanta. Later

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 01:40 PM

MK would just advise you to root for 27 innings. Let both teams finish the day with bodies on the field.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 13 2006 01:50 PM

="metirish"]If the Phills sweep today and the Mets win tonight won't they clinch it then? Yes, they can clinch today. But my point was, if that doesn't happen, it could very well come tomorrow.

seawolf17 Sep 13 2006 01:53 PM

But I want them to clinch today. I want to come into work in blue and orange with my blinky Mets pin tomorrow. I've waited eighteen years for this.

Valadius Sep 13 2006 01:55 PM

Yeah, and I was only one year old the last time this happened. I obviously don't remember it.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 13 2006 01:56 PM

I do too, of course. I'm certainly not rooting for them to clinch on a day off. I want Atlanta to sweep the Phillies (and I won't feel "odd" at all rooting for the Braves) and I want the Mets win over Florida to end after the conclusion of the doubleheader in Atlanta. But if they don't clinch tonight, I hope it happens on Friday. And I hope that the Phillies win on Friday, so the clinch can come with the 27th out of a Mets victory. By the way, I was at the clincher in 1988. It was fun but not as memorable as I thought it would be.

="seawolf17"]I want to come into work in blue and orange with my blinky Mets pin tomorrow. . See, now that would be a reason for me to root for Philadelphia...

I've been reading out-of-town scores recently, and how about Frank Freaking "Kiss It Goodbye" Thomas? He's got more homers in September than Ryan Howard and at one point hit one in like six straight games. Who knew there was life in that body? Besides Billy Beane.

="seawolf17"]But I want them to clinch today. I want to come into work in blue and orange with my blinky Mets pin tomorrow. I've waited eighteen years for this. come to think of it, i've got something of a blue-and-orange theme going for me today...

Braves draw first blood. RBI double by Andruw scores Aybar. 1-0 Braves still batting in the first.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 13 2006 05:07 PM

And already two more runs are in, thanks in part to an error by Utley. So far so good for a Wednesday clincher!

Yancy Street Gang Sep 13 2006 05:19 PM

Davies homers in the bottom of the second. 4-0 Atlanta.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 13 2006 05:22 PM

Double by Renteria scores Aybar. 5-0 Atlanta.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 05:41 PM

The Phillies are on the board on Ryan Howard's sac fly. However, Misspelled Andrew's well timed leap saved at the minimum an extra base hit, if not a grand slam.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 13 2006 05:55 PM

I go away for a while and when I come back the Phillies have scored three runs. Braves up 5-3 and batting in the bottom of the third.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 06:06 PM

Don't go away any more!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 06:40 PM

The Evil Braves still lead the Phuckin Phillies 5-3 in the 7th. 7 outs to go!

KC Sep 13 2006 06:42 PM

I'm dying watching the Turner South feed for this game. People mock the YES/SNY concept but these guys are just plain funny. There's two or three commercials for the Braves they loop through and now the two announcers are lamenting how society is wrong for only embracing champions and not teams that achieve the playoffs year after year after year but come up short. My South, My Braves ... my yuck

SteveJRogers Sep 13 2006 07:07 PM

Phillienow up 6-5 Todd Pratt on deck in the Bottom of 8th

SteveJRogers Sep 13 2006 07:07 PM

And Rick White on the mound for the Phillies

SteveJRogers Sep 13 2006 07:10 PM

One away and here is Tank

SteveJRogers Sep 13 2006 07:10 PM

Scratch that, Pena in for Pratt

KC Sep 13 2006 07:14 PM

Phargin' Phillies

SteveJRogers Sep 13 2006 07:22 PM

Top of the Braves order due up Though a Brave loss does lower the magic number for a Wild Card. Funny, the Braves are in the position we've been in plenty of times in recent years. Close in the Wild Card race, but too many teams to climb over, specifically in other divisions that are no longer on the schedule

SteveJRogers Sep 13 2006 07:24 PM

Anyone know why Chipper Jones is not in the first game? Like I said, they do have an outside shot of the Wild Card. I mean we'd be annoyed if Wright was sitting the first game of this kind of Double Header

SteveJRogers Sep 13 2006 07:28 PM

No Clincher tonight, see you on Friday...

SteveJRogers Sep 13 2006 07:33 PM

Well if the Braves win the night cap, Mets win tonight and the Braves win tomorow, the Mets won't have to do a damned thing I'm sorry, I WANT AN ON FIELD CELEBRATION! Not in an airport in Pittsburgh, PA!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 07:35 PM

I'll take the division whenever it comes - off day or not. It's bad karma to wish against things that ultimately benefit the Mets.

seawolf17 Sep 13 2006 07:36 PM

I'll meet you all at the airport tomorrow.

I'm not wishing, I'm just saying thats what I prefer. I like knowing the lineage of Joe Torre and Chico Walker being future Mets after grounding out in the respective 69 and 86 clincher. I liked hoping that we could sign Lance Parrish one day to keep that "lineage" going after 1988

Phillies have a 5-2 lead in the 7th of game 2. Good. The more I see the Marlins the more I want the Phillies to win the WC.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 13 2006 10:06 PM

I still prefer San Diego.

I'd rather not see another NL East team as the Wild Card! 1999 is the only time the NL Wildcard winner did not manage to make it to the World Series! Granted they did lose to the NL East winner in the NLCS, but man did they put up a FIGHT!

I don't think it's going to matter. The NLDS road games will be on a weekend anyway. There won't be any 11 p.m. start times for the Mets.

Do we now have to thank the Phillies for taking two because the Mets won't clinch on an off day? Later
