I could NOT disagree with you more. The lousy way they where playing and hearing Willie spout the same BS after every game made me sick and worried. I was watching the Phillies more praying that they would loose because I didnt feel confident that the METS could win. The season was laid out perfect for us all games against sub 500 teams and we could NOT win a game. And then it all came down to Tommy Glavine and the final game. 1/3 of the way into the first inning and it was over I switched over to see if the NAts could beat the Phillies and they where, until it fell apart and the Phillies won. Anybody that watched the 07 METS could see the writing on the wall and nothng was done to prevent it. Well in 2008 I am confident that we will win. A tight race keeps the team on its toes and will prevent them from sitting back and getting lax. LETS GO METS !!!

Adversity? They’ve never faced adversity. They can’t handle it. They got a lucky break in the game of hot potato division last year, and dropped it immediately.

Accordnig to ESPN.com’s baseball standnigs. As of right now the Mets have a 90.3% chance of making the playoffs and the Phillies have a 21.1% chance.

Oh yeah, the also give the Yankees a 0.1% chance. Hehehe

Ghobot is still waiting for the Mets to win the 2007 World Series like he kept predicting while watching the collapse last year…you can’t take him too serious…

Have to weigh in here – been to a bunch of Phils games at Shea and I also took the trip to Philly the night after that 8-7 debacle.

Phils fans – AND personnel – are generally brutal.

My philosophy on visiting another park is simple: wear your colors, cheer for your team LOUDLY, but don’t get in anyone’s face and don’t boo guys in their own house.

We were greeted in Philly by a guy working the info booth who instructed us to head for the third base gates, where the American Red Cross was giving lessons in how to avoid choking. (Har har.) A number of fan groups booed me and told me the Mets s–k, which is expected, but then they started yelling things at my six-year old son, which is ridiculous. Oddly we did alright in our upper deck seats – except when a little kid next to us (5 years old? 6, maybe?) started wishing death and damage to the Mets and their property. His father looked over at us and shut him up though.

For our part, we yelled like crazy when Delgado, Murphy, Schneider and co. took the game back for the Mets. We cheered “Let’s go Mets” on our way out of the building. That was about it.

Contrast that with the games here in NY. Every game, we saw loads of drunk dirtbags from Philly getting up in our faces, antagonizing their neighbors, picking fights, etc. I saw exactly one set of fans that didn’t fit the bill – a family with two young kids, decked out in their Phillies gear just watching the game. Felt bad for them honestly.

lol oops. I somehow completely skipped over the “Way to go out on a limb”.

Whatever, I still think it’s lame for him to call Reyes out for that because it could just as easily be construed as an observation of how well they’re playing, rather than a prediction. Like the difference between studying really hard for finals and being, like, “Hey, I have a shot at a 4.0″ and saying, “I’m gonna kick some αss this semester!!!” while shopping for textbooks at the end of August.

It’s funny, because allot of posters on here get on people for putting too much blame on Willie for last year’s collapse (Yeah, I know, Willie Who?) but reading comments on BeerL & Phillie Nation, even the Phillie Fan base believes this year Mets team is different and one of the main reason they think so is that Willie is not the manager. It’s interesting to see other market fan’s take on the Mets. I believe Manuel has a better “Pulse” on this team and will not allow a repeat of 07″ and apparently, Phillie Fans believe the same.;
