We need one of our 4-in-the-bottom-of-first specials.
Haven't had one of those in a while.
Bury 'em early ... then slowly pull away.

Time to get this damn clinching business overwith. And if they have any self-respect, after this weekend's ignominy, there will be no champagne, no celebration, nothing more than an ordinary win.
|
| Valadius Sep 18 2006 06:45 PM |

The champagne's probably gone bad anyway.

I don't buy that self-respect notion - they had a good season and deserve to
|

The 1986 Mets had a similar delay, and they had a big clinching celebration.
|
| Willets Point Sep 18 2006 06:49 PM |
|
I just remember that we all ragged on Torre and the Yankees for celebrating when they backed into the playoffs with 87 wins in 2000, I figured I'd be hypocritical to want the Mets to go hog-wild.

If we could find a Tim Teufel to along with his Wally Backman, he'd be worth keeping in a platoon next season (or even as an OF platoon with Milledge)...but this year's Kelvin Chapman is not cutting it as the RH part of the tandem...

We're about an inning ahead of the Cubs-Phillies game, thanks to the 10 runs scored in that game and Trachsel having a faster-than-Trachsel game.

You know, Mota was probably just on his way back from the crapper, and since he's tall, they just asked him to "hold this for us while we staple it." It's all good.

The way that Bannister hit earlier in the season, combined with him being a former 2nd baseman, combined with all 3 of our 2nd baseman not being able to hit lefties; I think that I would pull a Davey Johnson and play Bannister at 2nd a few innings before the season ends...in hopes that if necessary he could help out against lefties in the playoffs if need be...

I kind of wanted to take the train to the game (haha) but it was better driving. We caught the last of the highlight reel on Mets Extra, followed by Steve Somers' intro, which lead into a really nice highlight reel of the entire season, with all the appropriate music, New York Groove, Brass Monkey, the Daddy Yankee song Reyes and Delgado use, Sweet Child O'Mine, etc.

I was glad that MLB Extra Innings didn't cut off the feed right after the game ended. They seem to keep the lights on until the first commercial break after the game ends. I think if Gary had said, "We'll be right back" a few minutes after the game ended, that would have been it. But SNY didn't break for a commerical until about a half hour after the game ended, so I got to watch all the fun.

MLB.TV carried the feed too. I have SNY on my satellite system, but the games are blacked out because I don't have the Extra Innings package. Normally I watch the pregame on the TV, the game on the computer, then back to the TV for postgame. Overall, I have completely enjoyed my first season with MLB.TV.

Keep him warming up in the bullpen. Ok, let him sit down for a week or two. We don't want him to get a heart attack. Later
