Mets...

NYDAD

I am with you---basically they did what they did this year without Pedro contributing---they may well surprise some people

quote:

they have the best money pitcher in the game today in El Duque

I also think El Duque is a huge money pitcher. IMHO he was one of the primary reasons for the White Sox success last year.

I have been hearing all this "woe is me" stuff regarding the Mets for quite some time. I have a hunch they will show up.

CD

you have to like El Duque and Galvine in "crunch" time---two horses in a short series can go a long way--and if trachsel rises to the occasion as he can they will be real tough

We know they have the offense

Well, just in case it doesn't work out for the Met's, you guys have your excuse set before the playoffs begin...

Go Yankees...

merc

no excuses--read the posts--just saying they might well surprise people--

No excuses in the my life

Coach Merc - I am not a Mets fan but call them the way I see em. That was funny however

TR,
just having fun with you Mets fans....Where is "Its"? We Yankee fans always had to hear how George bought the team....It could be worse, we could be a fan of either SOX team or biting our nails as a Cardinal fan...

Coach Merc,

I am here - just relishing the Mets 1st step toward glory.

If you recall - Soxnole was challenging me - and my Triple AAA "Mutts" - a few months ago.

I told him the White Sox would gag - as they almost always do. He didnt agree.

Fast forward to today - The White Sox gagged up a huge hairball.
In about 2 weeks the entire White Sox team will be munching Doritos and throwing down some Budweiser, while they watch "The Mutts" play forward.


Just sing along with me:

MEET THE METS,
MEET THE METS,
Step right up and greet the Mets!
Bring your kiddies,
bring your wife;
Guaranteed to have the time of your life
because the Mets are really sockin’ the ball; knocking those home runs over the wall!
East side,
West side,
everybody’s coming down
to meet the M-E-T-S Mets of New York town!

Ya Gotta Believe!!!

They say revenge is best served cold

I think I smell big serving of Nanny Nanny Boo Boo...........

IT'S...wouldn't exactly say the CHISOX gagged...they do have 88 wins which would give them the 2nd best record in the NL and certainly good enough to have won both the NL Central & West.

The Cards...now thats gagging

NYdad,

As you know, the White Stockings play in the AL.

Their 88 wins have garnered them the following post season honors:

1) A fluffy couch pillow.
2) A cherry Slurpee and a straw.
3) A bag of Doritos - salt free.

Heres hoping they enjoy watching the Mets drive toward the Championship.

Ya Gotta Believe!!!

I must admit the Sox dissapointed to the max.

We'll live with it.(and the 05 Championship!)

Gagged is a word you Mutts fans are familiar with....perennially!

On the other hand I love the mutts chances with El Duque and Glavine, especially against the woeful NL.

They should be ashamed of themselves if they can't get to the WS and get swept by the real Champs...from the AL.

GO Metropolitans!

Prediction for Game 1 of the Playoffs

N.Y.Mets - 42
Whoever they play - 3

Ya Gotta Believe!!!

Maddux and Glavine going to the playoffs - Braves are going fishing - who would have guessed

Now we have it defined folks; the difference between gagging and not gagging is 5 games.

I will not hear anything bad said about the Cardinals; they're MY team and if anything bad is going to be said about them, I'll do it myself. And heaven knows I have this season. Heaven SHOULD bloody well know, I've appealed to them often enough.

Besides, the Cards Fans have enough problems right now. I'm not talking about the recent return from the DL of Up The Middle, Marquis' ego getting in the way of his ability to throw a strike, or the fact that we don't have a closer. I'm talking about a REAL problem: Chris Berman is calling our first series......

San Diego Super ChargersPadres

San Diego ChargersPadres!

Orlando....Bullwinkle is on his lttle red trolley heading to Petco (were the pets go)....Looking forward to a great series. Tell Albert that he doesn't need to make this series.

Its/TR....I'm pulling for ya Metties.

If Bullwinkle is supporting the Padres, I am worried; that could have a major impact on the mojo balance.

Don't be too concerned about our Albert. I understand the Padres have approached Selig with the requirement that he wear his red cape during each game.

Unfortunately for them, they're in the AL where the bar is a tad bit higher.

As a Yankees fan (add me to the list Coach), I loved having El Duque in the Post Season. I'm not looking to see him pitch for somebody else against them. I'm also rooting for another Subway Series.

Beezer - high bar - low bar - dont matter much.

Bottom line - Mets are in the playoffs while the
White Stockings are eating Doritos, woofing down Slurpees and watching it all on TV.

I don't know about that. I'd say 88 wins are pretty good no matter how you look at it. The problem is that in the AL, it just didn't cut it. Granted the Mets are in the NLDS and the ChiSox are off golfing but I think the winner of the WS will be an AL team....again. I just don't think the NL, overall, or even individually, is as strong as the AL. Granted, anything can happen in the DS, CS, and WS games but I'm thinking an AL team wins the WS in 5 games.

Beezer.... right on the money.

Book it!

AL again....in a romp!

A.L. may surely have the upperhand - check the Mets record in inner league play this year not so good 6-9. But with that said I am a Mets fan and they do have the lineup to compete with the A.L.

Anything can happen though in the playoffs and usually does!! First we have to get through the division series!!

Whitesox actually finished with 90 wins and out of the playoffs yet Cards 83 wins and SD/LA
88 wins are in for the NL.

If the Yanks don't win it then I'd like to see the Mets take it. If both NY teams get knocked out then I hope Twins win it all for the M&M boyz...if all three of these teams are out well then I'll be watching Hockey

If you look closely at the broadcast - you will notice that Shamsky and Boswell will be playing under assumed names.

Ya Gotta Believe!!!

Game 1:

Mets - 53
Dodgers - 1

IT'S, how's the arm feeling these days....understand the Mets are looking for game 1 starter

If El Duque is out for the playoffs I don't believe they have enough pitching to get past the Dodgers.

NYDad,

Koosman and Gentry are coming back.

Ya Gotta Believe!!!

Jeter 4 hits already, guess it is October

Add a homer and make it 5 for 5.

That dude Jeter is just unbelievable.

A "Gamer" in the truest sense of the word.
