Piazza has been healthy and the Mutts still need to ratchet it up a couple of notches and play .384 ball over the last 26 to get to 70 wins. (They need to play .500 to avoid 90 losses...not looking so good Mookie)Headache in a Suitcase said:

Piazza's played in 107 games to date and is 4th on the team in AB, so compared to what happened last year, he's been healthy this year.
Its a 162 game season, teams seek their true level over the course of the season (notice the Rangers are suddenly not a serious playoff contender), the Mets are seeking the 70 win level.
Might as well break out your pin stripes for the playoffs (you know you have them hiding in the back of the closet for just these type of seasons, which are becoming commonplace in Metland).

ahh here we go again... alas, let me explain...
yes it is true, me, the avid met fan, roots for the yankees when they play the red sox. but you see, there's a method to my madness.
the yankees and yankee fans have but one goal... to win the world series. the red sox and red sox fans have the same goal, but goal 1B is to beat the yankees. by rooting for the yankees to beat the red sox, then in turn rooting against the yankees in the world series, i get the best of both worlds.
and i didn't say piazza didn't play... i said he wasn't healthy. so either he was just playing hurt for a large part of the season, or he's just done as a premier player, which is likely as well.

now didn't i have to print out this thread and eat it if they made the playoffs? hmm... don't think i'll be doin that. still a great season for them... to go from as bad as they were to only 9 games under in one season... should be applauded.

By who? Not the Angies, they ain't even going.pub crawler said:I really hope the Red Sox make the post seaon because they are going to get their asses kicked.
Lets see...last 8 games againsy the so called dominant AL West...7 wins, 1 loss. 3-0 vs the "dominant" Angels. 2-1 vs the Rangers (everybody slips once in a while) 2-0 thus far against the Al west leading Athletics, with Pedro hurling tonite.

Last week the Sox got Lackey, Sele and Colon. In the playoffs they'll get Colon, Escobar and Washburn. And they'll have to play a game or two in Anaheim.

See the point you're missing is that the playoff teams in the AL will be: Yankees, Red Sox, Twins, Athletics.pub crawler said:

Your starting lineup for Pebble Beach on Oct 4 will include several Angels' players, but not your starting lineup for any MLB playoff games.
And wasn't Sele like 8-1 before the Sox roughed him up last week? So instead of an .800(8-2) pitcher like Sele, you pin your hopes on a .500 pitcher (9-9) like Escobar...he's a superior alternative?? It might be fun if you guys did make the playoffs.

Oh you're right, let me jump on the 60-77 Mets bandwagon instead, they're playing such impressive ball these days.Headache in a Suitcase said:
Lets see, they have this column in the standings for last 10 games, the Red Sox are a paltry 9-1 and the Amazin' Mets are a robust 0-10. Yes your team is less "misery"-able than mine.

being a met fan is extremely frustrating... no question. that's why the highlight of my sports year so far was when fred wilpon walked past me and my friend as we were exiting shea and we got to curse and yell at him while his security guards just stood there and laughed... ahhhh now that was livin'.
i don't get excited over the mets... even in the start of the season. i don't know if i ever will get excited over their title chances until fred wilpon actually sells the team. but hey... i'm gonna root for 'em anyway.
but hey... at least we've won a world series in my life time...

OK, while we're all patting ourselves on the back, note that I too predicted the AL exactly...yes Pub, I predicted your Angies would win the west, now they will lose the ALDS.Hewson said:
