ESPN 790 the Sports Animal played "Meet the Mets" coming back from the sporst ticker at 3:30 (that's 4:30 your time). And I sang along. Anyone bot a link to where I can listen to it again?

SteveJRogers Oct 19 2006 05:38 PM

Just for you JD, here is a parody of a Kris Kristofferson penned classic, Mets fans to Mr. Perez Take the ball to the mound Get loose and lets play some ball Got a game to win here in the shadows of early Fall Come and pitch well tonight Till the Red Birds have no more fight All I'm asking is six or maybe five Help the Mets win it tonight. I dont care if the decision's right or wrong, Never try to understand. Let the devil take tomorrow. lord, tonight I need a win. Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrows out of sight. Just need to win once more, help the Mets win it tonight. I dont care if the decision's right or wrong, Never try to understand. Let the devil take tomorrow. lord, tonight I need a win.

A more relevant Game 7 song: All 7 and we'll watch them fall They stand in the way of love And we will smoke them all With an intellect and a savoir-faire No one else in the whole universe Will ever compare I am urs now and u are mine And 2gether we'll love through All space and time, so don't cry One day all 7 will die

Is Suppan on short rest? Or did the rainout give him the extra day? edit : He pitched on 10/14... it doesn't seem like it was that long ago.

Great start for the game. This running up and down the stairs (from the "lucky" TV to the computer) is going to kill me, but no sacrifice is too great to help insure a Mets victory.

Eh, so it's tied again. We'll regain the lead. NOW!!!

A Boy Named Seo Oct 19 2006 09:26 PM

4 innings in and Ollie has (knocking on wood) been remarkably consistent: 61 pitches, 44 strikes (including the intentional walk to Pujols). That's 72% strikes. When he misses on a fastball, it looks like he's going to fall over. Wonder if him pitching on short rest is keeping him from overthrowing more? Whatever, keep doing it, please.

metsmarathon Oct 19 2006 09:26 PM

if delgado just dropped a bunt right up the first base line, even he would be able to beat it out.

I figured when Val didnt take off for first right off that it was just a dead ball. A ball hits the ground right in front of a Jose and somehow it bounces up to hit Val in his cartoonish chin. Just whan you thought youd seen everything. Ahhhh-baseball. CHAVEZ! WE NEED U 2 CATCH THOSE!

If Pujols were a Yankee, or Cards fans were like Yankees fans, this would be exhibit #1 in a case against Albert for not being clutch.

Perez hitting for himself, so he'll start the 6th...i agree this move as long as he's facing albert theres no reason not to keep going.

mmmmm.Oliver will hit. I guess I cant complain-he earned it. As it stands--this is Perez's game.

i wouldnt mind some offense here, by the mets of course.

Will someone tell Tim that our pitcher's first name is Oliver, not Albert!

damnit, will one of those pop out of a glove?

Edgy DC Oct 19 2006 09:57 PM

="MFS62"] ="metsguyinmichigan"] Tim said it was VITAL! Tim makes Joe Morgan sound like Steven Hawking. Later No, no he doesn't. Tim is a very smart baseball observerer and every Met fan should know that. He's just (a) played out and (b) patronizing to post-season audiencces. Tim had the nads to say on TV how sad it was that some people (without mentioning Morgan by name) think Billy Beane wrote Moneyball.

Man, Wright and Valentin are in total funks at the plate. Suppan is a pretty good pitcher, but isn't nearly as good as the Mets have made him appear in this NLCS. Bradford in for Perez. Thanks for a great start Oliver. Now the team needs to give us all a great finish.

Edgy DC Oct 19 2006 11:12 PM

Do it again, Aaron. I'd like Mota to face the top of the lineup the next time through, if necessary. Too much righthandedness. Wagner vs. Taguchi and Pujols scares me.

Cameras show Spezio in the Cardinal dugout last inning and the following discussion ensues: RD Jr, "That goatee is so gay." RD, "It's called a soul patch." RD Jr., "I don't care what they call it, it's still gay." Rd, "You know, you really should find a different expression to use." RD Jr., "Soul patch....That's the dumbest thing I've heard in my life."

Ironically, if Beltran had stolen second, Albert's not holding a runner at first and that ball shoots up the line for a hit...

Sure give me yet another reason why I should be stuck in my dead end career that I gave up a chance for a journalistic one with a hobby of a Met web historian.

Sometimes life isn't fair. The Mets were clearly the best team in the NL this season, but anything can happen in a short series. The Mets offense let them down in this NLCS while their decimated starting pitching stepped it up. I'm disappointed, but it's far from the end of the world. Some of you sound like the spoiled Yankee fans that you love to make fun of for their sense of entitlement. A little perspective could do a few here some good.

True..I guess we won't hear about the 1986 Mets anymore for quite quite sometime...say 20 years.....The better team won...

I'm a reporter. We're not ALL idiots. Gotta tip my cap to the Cards. I didn't give them a chance to get past the Padres, much less us.

steve, it sounds like you're imploring the media to treat wright and beltran like they treat arod. might want to better choose your words so that they better reflect your thoughts and intent. and, really. lay a teensy bit off the arod=god bit. sheesh. and i really don't get cleon. the mets all of a sudden suck? c'mon dude. were you even watching this season?

this was a great game, and a good end to a great season, no matter the outcome. waah, we didn't win. so? are we suddenly yankee fans all up in flushing that our lives are empty and our team is an abject failure if we don't make it to, and subsequently win, the world series? we can't take any joy in a great season, a great postseason run, great play, great players, and great surprises? it sucks that we fucking lost, yeah. but we fucking got here. take joy in that. and get ready for next year. fuck yeah.

old original jb Oct 20 2006 12:12 AM

I don't buy all this that the Mets were so much better than the Cards. The Cards had a bad run at the end of the season, but they have a lot of depth up and down the lineup, live arms in the bullpen, and better starting pitching, especially when our #1 and # 3 starters are crippled. I hated to see Cliffie strike out in what could be his last appearance as a Met. Hated to see Beltran leave the bases loaded. But I too must tip my hat to the Cardinals. It's been a wonderful season, but there are no guarantees in baseball. Especially when you wait until the bottom of the ninth to do all your hitting.

metsguyinmichigan Oct 20 2006 12:13 AM

Here's a bright side.....I just saved a lot of money on shirts, caps, pennants, sweatshirts, bobbleheads......

Zvon Oct 20 2006 12:14 AM

cleon--i hat you. You make it sooo easy too. Why are you here- why have you ever been here? Go away. That WAS a great game. And that last inning-we had two scenarios i would have paid to see: Cliffy in position for a limp off homer and bases juiced for Beltran. I got to see that--but you cant always get everything you want. Didnt get to see the Mets win and move on. But I hold my head high. Mets are STILL the best and I am soooo proud of what my team showed me this season.

KC Oct 20 2006 12:14 AM

Too much pissin' and dissin' at the end of this last IGT of the season (even for my taste, and I can out piss and diss most of you by a lot). That ninth inning is gonna stick in my craw for a good three weeks: Bottom of the 9th Pitching Change: (P) Flores replaced by (P) Wainwright Hit: Valentin hits a single to CF. 0 out. Hit: Chavez hits a single to LF. J Valentin to second. 0 out. Offensive Substitution: (P) Heilman replaced by (PH) Floyd Out: Floyd strikes out. E Chavez holds on first. J Valentin holds on second. 1 out. Out: Reyes flies out to CF. E Chavez holds on first. J Valentin holds on second. 2 outs. Play: Lo Duca walks. E Chavez to second. J Valentin to third. 2 outs. Offensive Substitution: (C) Lo Duca replaced by (PR) Hernandez Out: Beltran strikes out. 3 outs.

STOP. Take a deep breath. Let's get a hold of ourselves right now. A lot of us have jobs or classes in the morning, and we don't want to go to sleep angry in addition to being heartbroken. We get along pretty well here. Let's not ruin that with the aftereffects of an emotional, wrenching loss. We all come together on this forum for good-natured discussion about the Mets and other things. But at the end of the day, we've all got lives to live. Let's keep this in perspective. We've all got family, friends, and obligations. Those are far more important than the outcome of a baseball game. This is devastating, yes. But we shall live to fight another day. In the meantime, we've gotta get our acts together and remind ourselves that this isn't the worst thing that could happen to us. Keep it in perspective. Thank you.

what a game, what a series, what a season, what a team. For the most part, what a swell bunch of people to have hung out with; the REAL Met fans. The ones who bruise blue and bleed orange. Losing will be a sore spot for a lil while , I imagine. But we were here watching our team when most fans teams were also home watching these games. Bring on 2007! Lets do it again!

...watchin hightlights. The first strike/pitch to Beltran--that was the pitch. He took it-- cant blame him if that was his gameplan--take til a strike.. But that was the pitch he coulda KABOOMED. Hey-such is baseball. Such is fate. So it goes.

Gwreck Oct 20 2006 01:27 AM

You guys covered everything nicely in the IGT. For the historical record, I'll add that Endy got two curtain calls after that catch. First one had required some serious coaxing from Julio Franco to get him out. Both unfortunately probably occured during the commercial breaks. I still am a big Aaron Heilman fan. The crowd did a good job, still rising to their feet for the 2-strikes on the next batter, still cheering, with no booing as the inning ended (the typical Shea response to an inning like that). It's less than four months until pitchers and catchers report. I'm going to need most of that time to get over this past year.

As dissapointing as last night was, I will never, ever forget Endy catching that ball. Absolutely fucking amazing. And after we loaded the bases in the ninth, and Beltran strode to the plate . . . The stands were literally rocking. Yes, it was heartbreaking but it was a glorious game.

Last night, Yadier Molina became this generation's Mark David Chapman. With one shot, he killed the hopes and dreams of millions. Now, Mets fans can only "Imagine". Yeah, I'm bummed. Later

Ask any Brooklyn fans how they felt when their team was taken from them, and I'd bet the analogies they use would be comparable- that their hopes and dreams were crushed. Later

Mark David Chapman assasinated somebody. Yadier Molina hit a homerun. There's a difference.

Good game in a memorable series. Endy Chavez had the chance to have one of the greatest innings (top AND bottom) in the history of playoff baseball. He came through in the top (the catch) but couldn't in the bottom. Time to start the "days until pitchers and catchers" clock. Wait 'till next year. Later
