Oh nice, now instead of Enter Sandman, we get Seek and Destroy to finish the game….
It’s better than “Seek and Destroy (A Five-Run Lead)” like all the other relievers.
Sometimes when I hear that song, I still expect to see Sting…
Somebody needs to drop the Stinger Splash on some of these other jokers in the pen…put Heilman in a Scorpion Deathlock…
Could we get “Search and Destroy” by the Stooges instead?
John Maine’s a street walkin cheetah with a heart fulla napalm…
Since some of us cannot listen online at work, what does Eddie C. think about the weekend weather diaster shaping up?
Rainout FRI
Pelfrey on Sat (skipping the mystery starter)
Johan Sun
Ollie Mon (if necessary)
Leaving….Pedro? to pitch a potential play-in game on Tues?
OH NO WAY.
They can do a DH:
Fri: Rainout
Sat: Spot starter/Pelfrey DH
Sun: Johan
Leaving Ollie available for a potential play-in game on Mon. Though a DH almost guarantees a loss here.
No really good choices here.
Sadly, I feel more confident with Brandon Knight pitching one game of a DH than I do for Pedro pitching a one-game playoff. Sigh.
NO DH !!! we ALWAYS loose one of the two and that could be the season right there. A DH would be the death of the METS .
Adam M. thinks they should make Thursday’s ballgame an afternoon affair because it looks like sometime Thursday (right now around 8pm) it’s going to start POURING in the city and a delay won’t help.
Actually, wow. On the latest run, Friday looks pretty bad as well.
Can you imagine if BOTH games are cancelled?
I’m thinking more:
Thurs: Rain Out
Fri: Rain Out
Sat: 2 admission DH Pedro/Pelfrey
Sun: Santana
Mon: Oliver P.
Hope at that point there is no play-in game needed…
Did anyone else see the Dave Lennon chat and he said that the bone spur was bothering Maine’s rotator cuff? I thought the reports were saying that it was a muscle on his shoulder blade and was not affecting he arm? If thats case Maine should be shut down and have the surgery!!! We dont need to mess his arm up!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maine with a broken arm is better than Heilman.
To quote another Metallica song, Sad but True.
armando benitiez throwing left-handed is better than Heilman.
that girl i saw online who shoves the…wait i think i said too much
Nurf ball?!?!?!
Mel Rojas is better than Aaron Heilman.
It is a bone spur, and doctors have told him that he cannot injur his arm any further, it’s just a matter if he can pitch through the pain. In the offseason he’ll have to get them removed.
The only think I worry about is him overcompensating with another area to ease the pain in his shoulder. Gagne hurt his knee and then messed up his arm, Prior hurt his Achilles which then led to an arm injury. Granted those were leg issues, but they are both examples of overcompensation leading to other injuries.
please john, i hope that you aren’t trying to be the hero at the expense of your future, as happy as i am to see you return, i dont’ want to see you on the shelf longer or come back as a shell of yourself…
be smart. we respect that more…
granted it’s a few days away but there is alot of rain forecasted for this weekend, especially Saturday. That should be interesting for their schedule.
I love Maine wanting to come back. Hopefully he’ll be able to help.
Go Perez. We need a win tonight.
Dude, rain is forecast to start tomorrow afternoon and continue through Saturday morning… then on and off shower potential through Sunday evening…
We might be looking at Thursday/Friday cancellation….
triple header saturday starting at 8 am lol
Not funny but they may have to…
Slight possibility that those having tix for tomorow night might actually see the last regular season game at Shea…
hmmm i have 4 seats loge box for thursday…
why are they taking a chance with this kid’s career?
the mets better be right with their diagnosis.
What is gonna happen with tickets for tomorrow’s game if it’s rained out
Most likely would be honored on Monday… Now THAT will be the collector’s item…
John Maine would ask to pitch from a wheelchair. His job is to pitch as well as he can.
It’s up to Jerry Manuel to make the right decision and the medical staff and the trainers to advise him well.
I know we’re in the middle of pennant race and all, but I was wondering whether Maine’s surgery will keep him from Spring Training and the beginning of next season.
If they win the World Series I could care less…
duh, very insightful. tnx.
does anyone else feel if games are pushed back, all tickets should be pushed back so that those who purchased tickets to “the last regular season game @ shea” get to see what they paid for? (barring a one game playoff)
the problem with that is
if the brewers self destruct and the last game isnt needed the mets probably wont play the “last game?”
i meant barring a one game playoff, say they push back the saturday game…then the saturday tickets should flip to monday and so on, but the guys below seem to have answered me that the celebrations will probably just be on sunday anyway
I see there being no game either tomorrow night or Friday night or both…
If tomorrow is cancelled (and they will do EVERYTHING to play it) that game would be flipped to Monday if necessary…
If Friday is cancelled they would likely try and double up on Saturday (weather permitting)…
No… Monday’s game would likely be a day game… They are not going to sacrifice a Sunday sell out with baseball stars in attendance for a Monday make up…
I see no way that they can make a game after the last game at shea…. people have spent too much money, and they likely already have too much involved with people coming and things like that
It would be funny to be there for ‘The Last Game at Shea’ festivities and they would be taking down to reveal the number ‘2′…
so the celebrations would still be on for sunday even if monday is the real final (regular season game) game?
Triple Header at Shea on Sunday
12pm
4pm
8pm
12 hrs of Mets
itll be like a twilight zone marathon on wb11
i just called ticket office and they said as of right now nothing has been canceled…
they wont cancel until the last minute.
the last rain out they had a 2-3 hr rain delay before finally calling the game.
im just saying if they had a triple header (first ever in baseball?)
that would certainly close out shea with a bang!
even tho its highly unlikely.
Rainouts always seem to hurt the Mets. Mets have to be strong no matter what happens. Hope the med staff is right letting Maine go. he has a chance to be the man. LETS GO METS.
lets win tonight and worry about mother nature tomorrow
Lets hope he pitches tonight. At this point if we are up by at least 3 runs, he should get a shot at closing the game out.
Can anyone tell me what happened to Eddie Kunz? Why isnt he playing? is he hurt? I’d love to see him out there, we need all the help we can get.
He’s on the AAA roster….was up for awhile, used briefly and returned to AAA. Was not part of the September callups due to inactivity
save him for Pedro’s start!!
