For those who are jonesing for some televised baseball action, or the random Mutts fan who may stumble along this thread, the Mutts open up the grapefruit league featured on the tube, with todays tilt with the Tigers kicking off at 1, on FSNY. A replay will be unkindly offered this evening on the same bat-channel for those who cant call in sick for this one.

The official 2007 Mets slogan is:
"Your Season has come"

Milledge is on FAN right now. In the last 5 minutes, he's said
last year was great, I hit .241 I'm a great guy talking about being late to a game last year. "Yeah, I was late that day, but I was on time"

So, cause of Yom Kippur, Shawn Green will not be playing tonight. Thats all dandy, he makes a habit of this. Thing is, its a Hell of a time for the Mutts' hottest hitter (16 for his last 34) to be sitting, massive collapse and all...
Way to go!

There's no way the Mets aren't taking the division. A collapse of that proportion, especially one where they fail to make the playoffs, would be too cool. No chance. Mets will win the division, and likely right themselves come playoff time.

should be nice to watch and see who wins the divison, and if the Phillies do there no guarantee the Mets will win the Wild Card.

No way the Mets fail to make the playoffs. Such a scenario would be too enjoyable for me and people like me. It never happens. That would be like a stress free playoffs.

We all had the same conversation when the Yankees and the Mutts squared off for the crown. Yankees steamrollered through them. There was a lot of fear, although the Mets were not worthy of licking the water off the bathroom floor in the Yankees showers, that they would sneak out a victory just cause it would shake us off the rails.
It can happen.
Last night I actually did something I NEVER had conciously done. I watched the Mutt game over the Yankee game. And I laughed the whole live long night.

This is much different than in 2000. The intensity and fear of 2000 I don't think can be repeated for a very long time, even in another subway series.
In some ways we can relate, given what happened to the Yankees in September of 2000. They had an 9 game lead with 19 games to go. The Mets had a 7 game lead with 17 to go. The Yanks had a 7.5 game lead with 15 games to go. They won just 2 more games for the rest of the regular season.
But this is worse because by this point, the Yankees had done enough to at least clinch. Boston and Toronto did NOT get as hot as Philly to steal the division, and the final standings don't reflect the true race because even though the division was only 2.5 games apart, the Yanks ended the season on a 7 game losing streak, and the lead was bigger than that when they clinched.
The Yanks end of 2000 was just as bad, but the second place team stepped up more now.
Still, I can't even smile at this because nothing happened. The best I can do is smirk.

Captain Obvious reporting for duty:
If Philly wins today and the Mets lose, not only are the Mets a game out of the division race, but they'd be a game back in the Wild Card Race as well.
And if the Pads AND Colorado win, that would put the Mets in third place in Wild Card.
What a collapse

I still say the Mets will pull out the last two games, Philly will choke, and they will take the division.
But wow.
WOW.
The best part was the looks on the faces of the Met fans. They spent a good 2 minutes going from person to person. It was great.
And they had a guy in an Expos hat all depressed. Maybe he thought the M stands for Mets. Ass.

I can't believe this. It is beyond funny. It is such a collapse I almost feel bad for the Mutts fans sitting there. Then I remember how these fuckwads all ran around in red Sox hats in 2004 orgasaming over our loss
Choke on a dick while you sing Jose Jose Jose assholes! Everybody clap their hands!
Their season....is collapsing.

It's too fucking good to be true. After the whipping and fighting yesterday, I thought they might end up being tied, but then Glavine can't even get through the first? I havn't watched a shelling like that so soon in a game since Clemens in game 7 of the 2003 lcs, yeah it's happened but games I've watched, not replays. it was unreal. I called my grandma whos a met fan and said as a grandson, I'm sorry, as a yankee fan, I'm fucking ecstatic. Tear down Shea and turn it into a mall.

I listened to the game on the way home from the Catskills.
All I can say is it was so funny listening to the Mutts announcers try and not detroy the team for choking so bad. The boos raining down on them was pretty funny too.
I don't care for the NL, nor the Mutts, but I do like Don Franscisco, and hope he is ok. I kind of went through the same thing with the Angels sucking a cock and then losing to Seattle in a one game playoff. It will be ok DF.
All other Mutts fans can eat my balls.

Keith Hernandez was so awful, comparison after comparison to the 86 mets, yesterday reference after reference about Maine and Cone or Gooden or whoever the fuck. Today it was how in 86 this would never have happened, that never would have been, what a douche.
As corny as it sounds, when the mets lost I flipped to the Phils, and as soon as they announed the met final they went ape shit. And of course every strike and out in the bottom on the 9th as they clinched. But it was the first time I had to say wow thats cool, the celebration and maniac fans. Shows you how cool it is when you don't take winning for granted like the mets. Although I will say the locker room celebration with the yanks, with Melky and Robbie drowning all the vets was cool. I just like how the young guys get the older guys going on the yanks and sort of creates the atmosphere the phillies have, not use to winning and pulling it out. it was the first time I really enjoyed a celebration.
but even though momentum plays a big role in the post season, the phillies aren't going anywhere with no pen and 2 decent starters and Eaton who is really streaky. Then again, the mets have a worse pen and they blew it and the phillies stepped it up when they had to so who knows. I'm just sad there won't be a video detailing this unless the Phillies win the Series. I'll have to wait for a Top 5 reasons you can't blame Willie Randolph for the mets decline or whoever the fuck show on espn. This is a great fucking day.

My God this was great. I was also listening to the early innings on WFAN..Howie basically was trying to convince himself this was not going to happen
The best part about this? SNY/WPIX and the Mets were too arrogant and cocky for their own good to the bitter end. Those "Your Postseason Has Come" ads they ran today were great....
I also can imagine gary Cohen, the guy who was waiving goodbye to the Yankees fans during a Mets blowout win in June last year...hey gary...and Howie...PUT THIS ONE IN YOUR BOOKS!
ironic too it was the marlins, the team Mets fans loved in 2003 uring the World Series...God this was sweet!

Some of you are jumping on the bandwagon. Not for nothing, but 3 days ago I was watching Met games beginning to end just to see those same moping fans. Been there, done that. This has been going on for a while, sorry you were just catching on.
You could hear the grumpiness in Howie Rose today. I caught a bit on the radio while we were driving to a park. It was when the Mutts were pinch-hitting for Sosa, a move Rose did not agree with, and he made it clear.
One negative out of this, Rose doing some playoff games would have put the legendary Jiggs McDonald back behind the mic for the Islanders for a few games. I always enjoyed that. But now Howie is free to return for game 1.
