Whew nail bitter, 7-2.
believe that, i was having trouble breathing there for a sec
btw, what do you call a “nail biter” when you have no more nails left?
oh my God that is so funny, to call a 5 run lead a nail biter. only the mets…
cue the music-
taking care of business
eff that song

Tightrope, track 3 on In Step
Put it in the books! Let’s keep it going..just keep believing…
We better win that series with the Braves
oh boy. A win. And only a little mild heartburn, no major angst.
Expect the Phils to run the table. SO, the key thing is the Stos and Brewers either lost or are well on their way to.
and I am not picky. I won’t feel offended if they make the playoffs via the WC>
yes, but i really, really want the division. but yes, i can see phillies winning out. They are so locked in right now.
Mets MUST not let the Turner demons get to them this weekend. This weekend could truly be sink or swim.
That was easy!
man, at this rate the mets and phils will be in the playoffs. i REALLY want the division cause i dont want the phillies to win ANYTHING but playoffs are playoffs.
Santana 7 inn-1 run, 8 hits
Pen 2 inn-1 run 5 hits and we were lucky.
as i predicted before the series started, the braves willingly would bend over and get swept by phl, and now they’ll beat up on the mets. hopefully the fish take 2 of 3 from them again
well hope the mets man up. only way the braves beat up on the us is if we let them. we NEED 2 of 3. and good thing is the fish have owned the phils this season.
We have to win every game from now on, and I want the division not the WC. F&*CK the PHillies, by the way if I was hitting against Lidge I’ll just sit on the slider, that is the only thing he throws for strike.
Lidge is not going to be perfect this year. He’s going to blow one. And when he does… it’s gonna be huge.
and how sweet would it be for it to be the deciding game of the NLCS when we face the phillies??? cause you know either the mets or the phils are winning the wild card.
LETS GO METS!
lidge has been great this year but hes a headcase. if he blows one down the stretch it will put him in a funk for the rest of the season, gauranteed!!
heard it on the fan and makes sense, i hope the cubs wrap up their division by the time they play us. if that happens and they are playing out the season theyll go light on their starters and pull them early in games and well have an even better shot, the games wont mean anything to them but mean the world to us. we’ll see
we’ll see…lets not get ahead to the cubs
Gameball -> Johan and Schneider
nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! ill kill you!!!!!!!
