It's a forgone conclustion that the Mets will win this series. They made the Jays look like bums, and they will show the Sox just how good they are. By the end of this week, we won't be hearing anymore "the AL is so much better". <BR/><BR/>FYI, the mets are 12 (twelve!!!) games in front of the Phillies on June 27th. How f'ing awesome is that?<BR/><BR/>LETS GO METS!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1151447628485752972006-06-27T18:33:00.000-04:002006-06-27T18:33:00.000-04:00Anonymous,I'll take my chances.

But don't forget this possibility: If the rest of the division catches up with the Mets ever so slightly...the Mets are in Atlanta from September 26-28 and could possibly clinch the N.L.

If that were to happen, then it really wouldn't matter to me if the Braves are one game out or one thousand games out.Metstradamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023215480704948183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1151447105856234752006-06-27T18:25:00.000-04:002006-06-27T18:25:00.000-04:00what, does darth marc need the home-field advantag...what, does darth marc need the home-field advantage now before he's willing to wager?

Wow. <BR/><BR/>Is it not a bit frustrating that the Braves are in the basement and virtually irrelevant this season? Does it not bother anyone that kicking their collective arses won't matter, that taking a series from the Braves now won't hurt them since they're hopeless anyway?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I've missed it and it's been written about but there must be the slightest bit of taint off of winning the NL East that we do it when the Braves are the slugs of the division all the sudden, isn't there?<BR/><BR/>Isn't there something missing that we don't get to break their hearts too?Jaaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14918548497554962346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1151442349432360462006-06-27T17:05:00.000-04:002006-06-27T17:05:00.000-04:00anonymous,Trying times like these need guidance, t...anonymous,<BR/><BR/>Trying times like these need guidance, the way I see you have two choices. After Mets/Sox, if Yanks/Braves is still happening you can do one of three things:<BR/><BR/>1. Watch the game and know that although something bad will happen, something good will also happen as a result.<BR/><BR/>2. Watch the game and root for "Buckner" type moments, or root for a 20 inning game where everyone on each pitching staff gets worn out, or...<BR/><BR/>3. Alternative programming, baby! At 10PM you have "Rescue Me" on FX, the NBA draft preview on ESPN, Carlos Mencia on Comedy Central, or my favorite..."Sanford & Son" on TV land. There's also a documentary on the History Channel on Illegal Drugs at 11PM.Metstradamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023215480704948183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1151439057963554732006-06-27T16:10:00.000-04:002006-06-27T16:10:00.000-04:00Metstra,help us.

Because, given the chance, MD will rise to the occasion like no other. This will be Koufax or Pedro in their respective primes, starting Game 7. This will be Papi down by a run in the 9th and up with the bases loaded. This will, in short, be a master at his craft dealing out the pain with such spectacular taste and aplomb, that all anyone will be able to do is look on in receptive, respectful awe.
