I don't even know how many Mets fans are on here besides me, Headache and Numb.


lets draw a line in the sand and choose sides.



Anyonw got any word on the probability of them playing tonight? I heard its supposed to rain for a good portion of the night.

I thought we had a chance for a good run when Bonochick came by earlier and closed the spinoff thread, yet left the main one open...

 

[phillyfan26]

I cannot tell you how much I hate the Mets, as a Philadelphia fan. The whole city of New York just pisses me off.

 

[The OOTS]

Since the A's were eliminated...I've jumped on the Tigers' bandwagon.

 

[phanan]

Don't worry, I'm sure they hate you just as much.

 

[zoney!]

Look...it is raining in St. Louis

Go cardinals...the football cardinals.

 

[popacrobat]

Go cardinals...the baseball cardinals.

i knew it was only a matter of time

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Don't worry, I'm sure they hate you just as much.

i hate the eagles. i could really care less about the phillies. they're a piss poor run organization.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i really wanted the game to be played last night... every met fan on earth was giddy as can be because glavine gets an extra day's rest now... whoopity doo. i feel like i'm the only one who didn't care about that.

the reasons why i think it could hurt more than help...
--of course, met fans who were so gung ho about glavine getting the extra day of rest completely forget that weaver gets an extra day of rest, too
--pujols is apparently a little banged up with a hammy or something... he gets a day of rest, also.
--the cardinals bullpen was beat up and worn thin sunday night... now they're rested.
--it's only a pitching advantage to the mets if glavine throws a gem tonight... at least 7 innings. if the mets bullpen has to go 4+ innings tonight, they have to play 2 more games (maybe) with john maine going in game 6, who was shaky last time out, and either darren oliver, who started maybe 1 game all year, steve trachsel or oliver perez on short rest in game 7... thus then the bullpen will be needed. the bullpen is very good, but when over-worked it's not nearly as good.

but hey... it is what it is. glavine wins tonight, goes 7 innings, and everything's golden.

While I think youve overanalized this waaaay too much, I thought the same thing about the cardinals pen getting to rest. I thought that if we got to them in the fifth last night (if there was a game) they would have to throw someone out there that was worn out.


GO METS!!!!!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

the point is simple... if glavine pitches well and goes deep, the rain helps the mets. if glavine is gone by the 5th, the rain helps the cardinals... again. (unless of course weaver is gone by the 5th as well )

 

[Chizip]

i think it probably helps both teams equally, and it was probably the best thing to happen. 5 games in 5 days with each team having only 4 starters is not the best way to determine the NLCS.

big game tonight though, even though the cardinals have the pitching advantage for games 6 and 7, i dont see them winning both games in new york. i fear weavers luck running out and getting lit up tonight, but we'll see.

 

[popacrobat]

i think it helped the cardinals as well because hopefully it cools down the mets momentum a little bit. but really in the longrun, the rain doesn't matter.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

the cardinals have the pitching advantage for games 6 and 7

while i will agree with you, both carpenter and suppan are vastly superior pitchers at home as opposed to on the road.

 

[Chizip]

which is why i dont see them winning both games in NY

No in-depth sports talk analysis here, I just want the Mets to win.

 

[Bonochick]

I hope Bono's not getting wet......does anyone know if Bono wears a raincoat???? :worryfretworry:

I you!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i hear rain is bad for hairplugs. i hope he wore a hat

 

[popacrobat]

think he has a cloth for his shades? i dont want them to be ruined by rain.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

your useless stat of the night...

The Mets have had five postseason games weathered out in franchise history now. They went 4-0 after the first four rainouts -- including a fairly memorable victory in Game 7 of the 1986 World Series.
