OT:LET'S GO METS
- Thread starter RCTrooper
- Start date
Listening to WFAN the past couple days a lot of people have already penciled in a NLCS win and World Series - and in typical NY fashion people have already moved on to next years contracts and who should/shouldn't be signed. People are just allergic to living in the moment
Did anyone saw Murphy's eyes when he hit that home run? They were as big as beach balls when he saw that pitch. Must be the same size as those beach balls he's seeing at the plate. Dude is on fire right now.
I really hope the Mets get this over with tomorrow night so I do have to worry about them repeating any 0-3 comeback. Lets Go Mets.
This was actually a good play by Duda, just couldn't get the hit. Everyone been saying "bunt against the shift." Finally someone listens lol.
I noticed that but not being a full-time fan of baseball I figured I was just carried away. With slo-mo I could see his eyes dial-in as the ball left pitchers hand. That pitch was going to be a hit before the swing even got going
Wright swinging and Duda with a couple good ab's. Conforto 2 line drives , Cespedes is heating up. Murph is Murph . Average to slightly above average righty tomorrow in Hammels . Please end it early , I want a stress free win if that is possible
I have no problem with the bullpen usage or any of the strategy employed in tonight's game. It's all working right now. I'd like to see them end it tomorrow so they can go home and relax for a while before the WS commences. They'll have earned it.
Especially with the way Duda has been hitting, nothing wrong with trying something a little different there.
Anyone here ever watch this movie? Great idea, and the son uses references to the Mets vs Orioles WS to prove he's telling the truth. Just thought it kinda fits into this thread.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0186151/
I'm out of sorts right now and my equilibrium is off.. being a long time Mets fan and almost nothing to whine about. Well, Ripken is an awful announcer....oh,yeah, and I still hate Doug Sisk.
You know they're playing in the NLCS right? Apparently not.
When at Citi Field on Memorial Day to see my Phillies play the Mets,I told my friend,a Mets fan,that the best team in the game is playing in NYC today at Yankee Stadium-the Kansas City Royals.I see no reason yet to change my mind,although I could.
Longer term,the Mets should be a power for years,as long as the Democrats don't win the Presidential election next year,as no Mets team has ever finished a season above.500 during a Democrat President's first term,going 0 for 19,with JFK 0 for 3,LBJ 0 for 4,JC 0 for 4,BC 0 for 4.and BO 0 for 4.

You could write for the SL with thoughts like that.
Little Mets hype in NJ though, it's not like when the Yanks where everyone is wearing Yankees gear
Well first you had the Dodgers with their unbeatable one-two punch of Kershaw and Greinke.The Cards were supposed to be the best too all year since they won 100 games while playing in what was by far the best division in baseball. But then you had the Cubs who were streaking, having won their last 8 games of the season. Who had easily defeated the 99 win Bucs on the road in the wild card game before easily dispatching the Cards. Most people were considering them the best before the playoffs began. The team you didn't want to face because they were really hitting their stride. And they'd had the Mets number all year. I respect Kansas City, and I know they'd present a different type of challenge due to their approach at the plate which could lead to our starters running up some pitch counts. If they got the slight edge from the oddsmakers I'm sure it would be only because they'd have the home field in a game 7. But I'd welcome the chance to match our rotation, along with the rest of our team, up against theirs.
So the Yanks have a bigger bandwagon. There are lots of Notre Dame subway alumni in the NY/NJ area, too. I'll take the better baseball team, particularly the stellar starting pitching.
Personally, I'm hoping they can close it out tonight. deGrom clearly needs a few extra days rest at this point in the season. He had 7 days rest for that Game 1 start against the Dodgers and he dominated. If they close out tonight Harvey should go Game 1, Syndergaard Game 2, DeGrom Game 3, Matz Game 4, and repeat. If it goes 7 games Harvey, Matz, the regular playoff bullpen and realistically even Syndergaard if needed can be thrown out there Game 7 if you need them.
Why don't you go find Kbee and T2whatever and join in a circle. Really, why are you here other than to be a jerk about the Mets success?
He is a proud NJ sports fan rooting against the local team with the greatest chance of winning their sport's championship this year.
And being a troll.
And being a troll.
Killer blow by Duda. One strike away from getting out of it, and now it is 4-0 after one. Body language just tells you this is 90% a done deal already. I love how Matz is just getting the ball and working fast.
