Wow, this is seeming an awful lot like last year…..
I thought the same.. then i slapped myself.
wasn’t it a 2 hit shutout last year…. thank god Johan gave up that 3rd hit
That was a hell of a performance Johan proved he’s worth every penny just carrying the team…. Ollie has to step up tommrow and I’m ppretty confident Ollie alaways seems to pitch well on the big stage and last game of the season, it does not get much bigger… and plus his last start was lack luster so he’s due for one of those great Ollie outings.. LETS GO OP LETS GO METS LETS GO CUBBIES LETS GO NATS (just because I hate philly)
Heart rate is finally coming down to normal.
Go Cubs. Go Nats.
OP needs to show but so do the bats. They need to score a bunch of runs.
an 8 spot in the bottom of the 1st would definatly help me relax until the bullpen comes in
Ted Lilly needs to come up big for us. Plus I need him to help win my fantasy league. so GO CUBS!! GO TEDDY!!
The resigning of Perez will be based completely on tomorrows game!
True that.
Unless he’s going 6 or 7 and 2 or 3 runs, goodbye “Big Game” Ollie.
Wow…Johan Santana…can’t really say anything that hasn’t already been said…just wow.
On another note, I think we owe our old friend Shea Stadium a big thank-you for holding that last out in the park…because she, unlike her Philadelphia counterpart, is not easy to score on.
Would anyone rather see Brandon “Olympian” Knight tomorrow instead of Ollie? I guess I’d go with Ollie, but days rest against a righty laden lineup is scary. At least it’ll take Jacobs and Roids Gonzalez out of the lineup.
Not that we need motivation to win, but it would be nice to take out Olsen, with his smack talk and under .500 record.
Will the Mets play Castro again tomorrow against a lefty? Maybe Cancel??
Lets go Cubbies!! up 2-0 in 3rd
4-0 Little Bears!!!
Cubs up 4-0… OMG, things are looking better for our boys… I hope they get about 10 runs this inning
Beer fans giving Sheets a nice ovation after that performance….
Hmmm….maybe we really are bad fans at Shea??
or as kurtz said:
“oh the horror”
