Thanks Willets,I have a good feeling about this,Maine to become a Mets legend,that's a leftie heavy Mets lineup.

metirish Oct 04 2006 03:26 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Oct 04 2006 03:29 PM

Do we get player introductions today or it that just for the WS?,if we do will FOX show it? Will ESPN show it I mean.

Valadius Oct 04 2006 03:27 PM

Thank you Irish for making a light bulb go off in my head: That's a hefty lefty lineup. (Or lefty hefty.)

Willets Point Oct 04 2006 03:28 PM

One might say hlefty.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 04 2006 03:32 PM

It would be hard to say that without spraying saliva.

Methead Oct 04 2006 03:33 PM

Running the A+ lineup out there today, lefty-heavy or not.

metirish Oct 04 2006 03:36 PM

Lowe when he's on has a nasty splitter,right?,that's his best pitch I think,he's due a bad outing because he's been brilliant lately.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 04 2006 03:39 PM

That's putting a positive spin on things.

He got the largest pct of ground balls of any pitcher this season. Sinker-ballers get the ball "up" when tired and/or ineffective and that's when they get hammered.

metirish Oct 04 2006 04:00 PM

Thanks FK, this LA type weather will make the Dodgers feel at home,Mets fans need to be loud today... LETS GO METS.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 04 2006 04:07 PM

You know, I never would have imagined that the Mets would clinch two weeks before the beginning of the playoffs and end up with John Maine pitching Game 1. Oh well. They're here. It's now. Game's starting on ESPN2, as we figured. It should switch over fairly soon.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 04 2006 04:08 PM

We've got the teamwork to make the dream work!

Ah, Kenny Lofton in his obligatory postseason appearance. He's been in the playoffs 10 times with 6 different team. The Mets need to pick him up for next year.

OlerudOwned Oct 04 2006 04:12 PM

Sit down, Kenny!

Willets- Martin hit a double off the right field wall. Green threw a strike to Valentin who threw a strike to Lo Duca who tagged out Kent diving into home. JD Drew didn't stop at third, though, and was right on Ken't tail. Don't know why he didn't slow down with the play developing in front of him, but he kept running. Maine shouted at Lo Duca that another runner was coming home and Lo Duca put down a second tag to get the also diving Drew out at home. It was unreal. That inning could've been a hell of a lot worse. Maine at 42 pitches now at the end of 2.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 04 2006 04:51 PM

Maine looked good again in the third. 1-2-3. He'll lead off the bottom of the inning.

Dodgers 1-2-3 down 1-2-3 again. :)

If the Dodgers keep sending out their 1-2-3 hitters every inning, we'll be OK.

Sucks to be in my office. That download sounds to good to be true; either my computer will explode or I'll be led away in handcuffs. Besides, I don't think my patients would appreciate my watching the game while I work. Sucks to be a grownup sometimes. I'll go on record, as saying that if the Mets go deep into the post-season, the "Two at the Plate" will become immortal, along with the Grand Slam Single and Mookie's squibber down the first base line.

OlerudOwned Oct 04 2006 04:57 PM

I hope Maine gets those corners.

Willets Point Oct 04 2006 04:59 PM

A Boy Named Seo Oct 04 2006 05:50 PM

Mota only threw 11 pitches and isn't scheduled to bat. He could go again, I guess, but with a lefty, switch hitter, and the pitcher's spot up, we might see Oliver.

Centerfield Oct 04 2006 05:51 PM

I'm listening to Gary Cohen on the radio. Bringing him back was a great fucking idea.

Furball with the RBI, 4-2. Lofton flys out two down

UGH! Furcal with the big single for the Dodgers. 4-2. If the game was closer I think Beltran would have went flat out for that and snagged it. Fly out moves the lead runner up. 1at and 3rd, 2 out, Nomar up.

Centerfield Oct 04 2006 06:19 PM

And he may have been in there a wee bit too long---but he did get Kent and we are still in the game. We cant show all our arms in one fell swoop,....can we? Penny is in for the Dodgers. Mets have the top of the lineup. We need you on base Reyes.

KC Oct 04 2006 06:27 PM

Agreed hillbilly, but I still think it's a little nutty throwin' a relief pitcher up to bat when you can put someone in to get a single and a couple of runs. Shit, even Glavine could have batted if they're gun shy with the bench.

Zvon Oct 04 2006 06:27 PM

YES-he works a walk.

Every closer is going to lose playoff games. I'll take Wagner over most of the guys out there. Payton hit a three-run homer off of Mariano Freakin Rivera in the ninth inning of Game Three in 2000. The trick is to build enough of a pad to ask as little of your closer as possible. They gave him a two-run pad, and he pitched within it.

Has John McEnroe been ill? Gwreck Oct 04 2006 09:30 PM Crowd was as loud as I've heard it in quite some time, especially during the first inning. Never got quite that loud again but they were pretty good. Unfortunate Yankees suck chant here and there (like after they ran that commercial on the Diamondvision where Tommy Lasorda tells us that October is the time to root against the yankees). Pedro was in the dugout, shown on the screen between innings. Cheers. He tries to duck away, but Ray Ramirez convinces him to come back up, he waves to the crowd (doing that Pedro "point" thing he does). Floyd got a curtain call of sorts, he was shown inside a big heart during the "Kiss Cam" between innings on the Diamonvision. He's put up, lots of cheering, he turns to see what's on the scoreboard and realizes that it's him. Tips the cap. I don't think I've ever seen Delgado show so much emotion on the field. I don't think he could've high-fived David Wright any harder after that bomb of a homer. Huge fist pump after the single in the 7th. To answer a question from earlier, yes, they did player introductions, but before the TV coverage started. El Duque limped out there for them, but then they didn't introduce him...and after finishing the rest of the players introduced him (the announcer seemed to be reading from the roster sheet directly). Serves Fox right for getting the rain delay after putting the MFYs in primetime again. metirish Oct 04 2006 09:32 PM Delgado in the post-game press conference could not have been happier,I guess when you wait that long to play these games it means that much more. ScarletKnight41 Oct 04 2006 09:39 PM Wow - that was intense! I'm not going to have a voice for a week, but it is totally worth it. A lot of emotion and ceremony even before the game, and thank goodness John Maine came through on short notice. It was a great day to be at Shea. I hope that those of you with Game 2 Tix have as good a time tomorrow night! Centerfield Oct 04 2006 09:45 PM After two months of meaningless baseball, what a weird feeling it was to be hanging on every pitch again. I am exhausted. I started feeling the effects during the seventh inning or so. Clearly the layoff has affected my endurance. Maybe I should have stretched it out a bit more in September. metirish Oct 04 2006 09:49 PM Some pics from today....thanks Newsday...I love this one Centerfield Oct 04 2006 09:56 PM Is John McEnroe a Mets fan?

That guy's an idiot who's embarrassing us Met fans, and besides those fans are doing a fine job skewering him anyway. Rotblatt Oct 04 2006 10:05 PM Amazing game. Maine did a great job, and Delgado and Wright made me ever-so-happy. Mota looked sharp in the sixth, but I really wanted us to go to Heilman midway through the 7th. Still, it's hard to blame that awesome bunt by Anderson or Valentin's error on Mota . . . The crowd was amazing. I didn't think they could get any more intense than they were at the clincher, but they managed it. Billy nearly gave me a heart attack. Seriously, dude, stop fucking around. I can't wait to see the replay of the double play at the plate. That shit was incredible. I've never seen anything remotely like it. Green had a suck-ass game, but that one throw mitigates at least half of his at bats. Anyway, I'm totally exhausted now. And happy. What a game! Let's Go Mets! Johnny Dickshot Oct 04 2006 10:06 PM What an extraordinary 2006 Met game. It went almost exactly as you knew the Mets would have to win: Their guns came through with just enough offense (despite leaving a few too many guys on 3rd), they were rewarded for making the plays and punished for not making them, WWSB strapped them on BIG-TIME going to situational guys in the 5th! -- brilliant! Ballsy! -- getting more than half the game from a tag-teaming bullpen. I don'tt recommend playing that way as a means to win every game, but to win one game -- today's game -- it was the way to go. Lundy Oct 04 2006 10:29 PM It was absolutely intense at the game. The fans were keyed up for every pitch of the game. We were standing and rhythymically clapping for strikeouts in the FIRST inning, for crissakes. I was sitting in the mezz in the rightfield corner, kinda near the back of the section, so we couldn't see Shawn Green miss the ball, but we could tell from the crowd reaction that he didn't catch the ball. I'm guessing the baserunners were also focused on Green and whether or not he caught the ball. It certainly was the oddest double play I've ever seen. Kinda angry that they didn't replay it on Diamondvision (or if they did, we missed it.) Just to illustrate how busy and intense the game was. While walking to Penn Station, I noticed that my shoelace was untied. I was running late for the train, so I said, screw it, I'll tie it on the train. Train was too crowded--had to stand. Boardwalk over to Shea was packed as well. Waiting to pass through Gate E packed as well. Got to my seat right at first pitch and never thought about my shoelace. It was finally tied--right after I got off the train at Little Neck after the game. Gwreck Oct 04 2006 10:32 PM Where did Delgado's homer land, anyway? I watched the replay on ESPN and on Mets.com and I can't see it. I missed it at the game because, well, we were going nuts. It was announced as 470 feet...did it clear the batter's eye? I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that. Willets Point Oct 04 2006 11:38 PM I think this is my first win for starting an IGT.
