Hey You guys have a good team, the thin Mets are paper thin in the bull pen. We have Philly this weekend, at home. I hope it's not a replay of last year.

I know fans stick by their team, but being a Met's fan since day one, tends to make you a realist, This ain't the 86 club. Even if Wagner comes back we are in trouble.

The Brew Crew fell short by not going deep in the count, with all their good hitters I know it's hard. If you want to beat the Mets, you have to be patient and take some pitches, the idea is to get the Mets starters out before the 7th inning. The Phils are very adept at this.

I just see this as possible for the Mets to take the East . but I do not see them beating the Cubbies.

Lou Pinella learned how to use his pitching and how to expolit the other teams pitching weaknesses from BILLY MARTIN AND ART FOWLER, 2 of the best at that game.As much as i hate giving the Yankees credit for anything, those 2 wrote the book on the subject and Sparky Anderson took it up a notch

You hit it right on the head: our sluggers (couch cough Prince) had no patience at the plate this series.  Trailing late in game two, Braun walked on five pitches.  So what does Prince do?  Only hit the first pitch into a DP.

Hopefully we'll get another chance come October, 'cause we really looked like crap this series.

Geez, the ******* Cubs are ******* killing me!!!!

de jA VUE  all over again, thats one for the Philthies :-[

All your base are belong to us!

Geez guys, save some runs for tomorrow!

2 games out.

Hookemdown: You and every other Red Sox fan should formally thanks us Met fans for taking the highest paid,under-performing

starting pitcher in the game Pedro ( I can't pitch today) Martinez

we blew 2, let's hope Sanata can cuff them in game 3 today

Pedro was a GREAT pitcher once upon a time.  I'd take him in his prime any day.  BUT, I'm glad we got rid of him when we did.

Pedro HAS NEVER for any team won a GAME TAHT WAS A MUST WIN FOR THAT TEAM!  At least he showed up and pitched for the Sox!

His last 3 years on the Mets LATE SEASON

06; Didnt play, on DL  His toe was hurt

07; Didnt play; Rehabing a multitude of minor injuries

08 Wish he wasn't here  his ERA after today should be around 6.00

He did blow a 5-2 lead in the 2003 ALCS but:

3000 + strikeouts

3x Cy Young Winner

8x All Star

1999 Triple Crown

2004 World Series

That ain't too bad.

You are correct about his overall performance . If you are gonna talk 2004 , he wasnt all that WHO'S YOUR PAPA great in the ACLS

and 2004 was really all about Shilling.

2004 was really all about Shilling.

So true.  The whole bloody sock thing was more epic than Braveheart.

It was even more epic than Amy Winehouse

Sorry bullpen!!!!

.5 games out 8-)

Will somebody score already. :-X
