New York Mets 2007 Season Thread

[cougarjake13]

Well, Mets fans can take it easy...you've got 13 left against the Nationals and Marlins, so it'd take a pretty monumental collapse for them to not make the playoffs.

And let's face it...the National League is a joke more so this season then it was last season. So they're still in solid shape.


You guys just better pray really hard that the Phillies don't some how stumble their way into the Wild Card. On the off chance that happens, then you should worry.

why ???

even if the phils make the wild card we wont face them do theyd have to face either the nl central or nl west winner who ever has the better record and then beat them and the mets would have to win their series just to see the phils in the nlcs

Yay, Mets defense!!!! Wooooooooooooo!!!!

Oh...Phils up 7-0.

:devil2:

[hammersavage]

ummm.....11.......

[newport king]

fuck this team. and fuck willie randolph. loduca won't be back next year because he shows some emotion and it gets under the offices skin...hey at least we can watch complicated handshakes and fucking dances while we're giving up 4 run leads.

[hammersavage]

i'm inconsolable...

[Kevin]

Meet the Mets, beat the Mets, step right up and defeat the Mets. Bring your kiddies bring your wife, watching them blow a big division lead, you will have the time of your life.. Because when Billy Wagner is in the other team is really socking the ball, hitting it right out over the wall..

[tbagnu]

WOW!!!! mutts fans are sure quite now!!!!:surrender:

[Bossanova]

WOW!!!! mutts fans are sure quite now!!!!:surrender:

No chance. Fuck the Phillies, Fuck the Yankees. Its only September 19th. So they are relaxing a bit. Watch out for October bitches, I can feel it.










...................god I hope so

[tbagnu]

what's the mutts' magic number again?....oh thats right! it is the same it was last week!!

[Bossanova]

You die. You die and you go to hell

[BoondockSaint]

Do the Mets bring back Alou for another year? I know he gets hurt a lot but when he's healthy all he does is hit. Gomez will only be 22 and you could probably get him some decent time when Alou is on the DL or if they trade Milledge.

[docgoblin]

Oh Nooooo!!! Here comes the bullpen!!!!:surrender:

[Doogie]

Sosa with 4 pitches!!! Lets hope we can hold back the rest of the tide. But you have to ride a wave like that.

I think they gotta bring him back. The offense seems to click when he's in the lineup.

I totally say bring back Alou. You never know what sort of instances can happen as this injury filled year has proven. Gomez will need a few years of seasoning and platooning. And Milledge, in spite of a large ego, is a pretty good ballplayer, and with a little settling down could be a great player down the road. So the short term plan:

1. Keep Alou for next year.
2. In two years use those two kids fulltime.

[docgoblin]

Lets Go Cardinals!!!!!

You have admit that Shawn Green has been clutch the last two weeks. He's back to his April numbers!

[newport king]

WOW!!!! mutts fans are sure quite now!!!!:surrender:

we're quite what?

[Bossanova]

Green has been insane as of late. Nice win, go Cards. Fuck bunch of letters for a name

[cougarjake13]

nice pitching by glavine to get out of that bases loaded jam

[BoondockSaint]

Marlon!!!!!!!

[hammersavage]

unwatchable

[BoondockSaint]

I'm guessing Wagner is hurt. He pitched last night for the first time in 5 days and now is nowhere to be seen. Hernandez said he's not even in the bullpen. Great.

[newport king]

you've seriously got to be kidding me with this team. they lose this game thats it. they're not recovering. it doesnt matter who it is, NO PITCHER can hold a lead these day.

[BoondockSaint]

Shit.

[Da Fish]

Hard fought game.

I'm happy the Fish are going down shooting:happy: instead of wishing the season was over.

[K.C.]

Damn how do you come back from that one?

Thanks for giving back the game we gave you last night.

Back to 1.5....9 to go.

Very interesting, indeed.

By the way...not to alarm anyone...but the Braves have crept back to 4.5.

At the rate the Mets are losing games, and the fact that the Braves have three with the Phils left on the schedule...it's not out of the realm of possibility.


...just sayin'

[hammersavage]

8 is great

http://www.gidesigns.net/images/aged-copper-house-number-8.jpg

[Bossanova]

Lets hope the bullpen can keep this fucking lead

[cougarjake13]

hey the cards werent playing that great last year and almost missed the playoffs but barely crept in and won it all


so anythings possible


and the mets have one game left against the marlins tommorrow, 3 against wash at home, a make up game vs the eliminated cards at home, and 3 more vs the marlins at home

phils have 2 games left against the nats(tonight and tommorrow), 3 at home vs atlanta who still has a shot especially if they sweep the phils, and then 3 more against the nats at home


im just glad as hell theres no more reg season games vs the phils b/c we'd almost surely give up the division lead if we did

That game against the Cards is huge

I hope so too, but the Cards hate the Mets

[King Hippos Bandaid]

good win

Lets hope for the best for this week

I refuse to make any predications because I am a jinx

:king:

[newport king]

i really don't want to be in any kind of position where st. louis can end our year...again.

[Doogie]

C'mon man you gotta hope for the best and believe. And remember every Phillie loss is a gain on the magic number. Just gotta lug ourselves throught this week and hope fully get 4 out of 6.

[K.C.]

I'll tell you right now, having watched the Cardinals play the Phillies just last week, that they're a dead team.

They should have won two of three because the Phillies didn't play particularly great ball in that series, but their veterans have pretty much packed it in, and LaRussa's playing his scrub team.

Now, LaRussa, of course, is still managing like he's in the playoff hunt making some crazy moves to win games. But the talent just isn't there.

That said, the Mets propensity to beat themselves lately could make it interesting. But that's the only way I see them dropping that game, is if they completely beat themselves.

2 with six to play should be a pretty safe lead. The Phillies have a tough week ahead where they face both Smoltz and Hudson with an Atlanta team still playing for something. It'd be tough for them to go better than 4-2. So if the Mets go 3-3, they should be set.

[Doogie]

Stop the hemoraging...just stop it please!!

[Bossanova]

Alright Tom fucking Glavine, this is the day to have a great game. Man this team is making me drink

[lleeder]

Alright Tom fucking Glavine, this is the day to have a great game. Man this team is making me drink

He looks sharp so far. :wacko::drunk::lol::thumbdown::surrender::help:

[Doogie]

Should we break out the burlap sacks and put them in there for their beatings??

[Bossanova]

I fucking hate this team sometimes

[newport king]

i don't want to see carlos gomez or david newhan take another at bat all season. these guys are automatic outs. and if you listen to omar cream about this kid gomez you'd think he's a puerto rican willie mays...he's terrible.

[Marc with a c]

i hate the mets more then i like them, and fuck them for making me root for atlanta.

Damn.......

Atleast the Phillies Lost

:king:

[newport king]

why god? why did they have to be so good in the 80's when i was an impressionable young child? why couldn't someone tell me not to fall for the okie-doke and let me know the yankees are the easy team to like. now i'm stuck in this. a lifetime of agony. thanks god. thanks.

[hammersavage]

i'm embarrassed to put this up. this isn't even fun anymore, its like being on death row. just counting down the hours...

http://www.sonkiss.com/idg-number-4.jpg

[spadanko]

i seriously can't take this guys... i am really giving myself an ulcer because of these guys...

[Doogie]

I feel like I am watching a wheel chair race anymore, and expecting the guys in th chairs to get up and walk.

[Earlshog]

Hey as tough as it is to be a Mets fan its even rougher routing for the Phils...

Whats the deal with the constant attempts to steal 3rd base with two outs (not that I mind the Phils need all the help we can get)? Did Willie Randolph miss the first year of little league?

[cougarjake13]

hopefully we'll get the same kinda karma that the cards got last year backing into the playoffs

[Marc with a c]

well yeh that too

Ok, got a fifth of Jack and a packed bolw. Really need it to watch this tonight.

[cougarjake13]

30 game hit streak by alou

and a 3-0 lead

[Bossanova]

Humber is showing some poise

[Marc with a c]

come on.

i really cant take this shit.

[Bossanova]

This shit is so fucking old

[BoondockSaint]

We rule!

[Bossanova]

Now the bats will be silent. Awesome

[Doogie]

I decided to watch the Bionic Woman, and was like "Ahhh they are cruising." I turn it back at commercial and I feel like I have been stabbed in the heart. This team SUCKS!! And if they win the World Series then you can throw it in my face. I love em, but this is fucking painful It really is.

[Bossanova]

How many fucking double plays can you hit into

[newport king]

you watched "wonderwoman" during the pennant race? :unsure:

can we go to a 2 man rotation of pedro and perez? and elduque as our bullpen?:wallbash:

[Doogie]

Yes I did. Like I said I figured they were far enough ahead, so what the hell let me watch a world premiere. If you want to blame me, well all I have to say is Knock, knock.

[Bossanova]

I blame the lack of blacks as our down fall

[newport king]

I figured they were far enough ahead.

obviously you haven't payed attention for the last 2 weeks.

[newport king]

I blame the lack of blacks as our down fall

milledge is black enough.

[Bossanova]

milledge is black enough.

Fair enough



I want that whole bull pen gone before next year

[Doogie]

This is surreal. Just fucking surreal. I honestly would like to think they will rally, but I feel they are dead. That fucking bullpen is worse than watching a third term abortion live.

[newport king]

i honestly don't know why...but i really feel if we can GET to the playoffs i think we can go on a serious run.

Ha. I dont expect an answer, but I do expect is that he knows the stat of every Met player from the 1986 team. As well as owning a copy of 1986's 'Lets go Met's go.'

[lleeder]

I was actually surprised that he did poorly. Most Mets and Yankees starters look great in their first starts then disappoint later on. Willie putting El Duque in the game sealed the loss for the Mets. Big time panic move. Now the whole bullpen must be thinking " A guy on one leg is better than the rest of us".

...almost...but not quite.

Let's go Redbirds!!!!! Beat Pedro!

I'm not gonna kick you guys when you're down. I remember the Yanks ALCS 04, Sept 2000 and May 2007 and these stretches are just brutal. Good luck.

BTW-Whats worse, the Yankee collapse to the hated Bosox in 04 ALCS or the Mets if they don't even make the playoffs after being in 1st place all year? Both would be historic. Close call.

Thanks for your respect. I think this would be worse if the Phils don't win the series. I know the Yanks one sucked, but the Sox finished it off.

I didn't even think of that. It does sting a little less if the team that beat you at least gets to or wins the WS.

In both cases it's a hated rival that beats you out, so thats a wash. The Yanks did it in the ALCS, which is a way bigger stage (national audience) but at least they got there. But they lost a series after getting a 3-0 series lead, and that will be remembered forever.

The Mets would be doing something on par with the 64 Phillies, who everyone still remembers and compares last season collapses against. So I guess both would be remembered forever. Plus Met fans spent all summer thinking they were in and the Yanks were out, so that would make the post season unwatchable.

Too close to call. Both are brutal in their own ways.

[K.C.]

i know, leave that to KC. he's really good at it.

"Bottom line, we're the team to beat," the shortstop said. "I can't put it any other way."


"If [the Mets] needed motivation to play this game," Rollins said, "then they are playing the wrong game. They had a chance last year to go to the World Series. They made it to the playoffs.

"They won a division. Congratulations, but last year is over.

"They can take it any way they want; I'm just merely stating the facts."

Its no contest.. Yankees by far is the most embaressing... People have blown big and bigger div leads before.. No one has ever blown a 3-0 lead in the post season, in baseball.. So i do not even think its close..

Dude, I had to hear garbage from Mets fans all last year.

And as prove of the fact that there is karma in this world, right after I posted that, the Braves hit back-to-back HRs to cut the Phils lead to 6-3.

[Marc with a c]

Im starting to hate you, you prick

starting? he's been the most annoying guy on the board for the last month.

[Bulldogcakes]

Pedro's thrown 90 pitches as of the 6th. He should get you through the 7th, as hoped for. Now if the Mets bats could wake up you might still win this one.

UPDATE-HR's by Chipper and Tiexera. 6-3 Phils.

stop being an ass.

Stop being an ass?...posting in another non-sports related thread, I was in, stating how you think the Phillies suck doesn't qualify as being an ass, yet this does?

Settle down boys...if you can't take some good-natured ball busting, what's the point of having these threads?

It's funny how you guys all ride high and mighty when everything's going great, and yet you can't take any of it when the tables are turned.

But relax, I'll leave you boys alone.

Like I said, enjoy the rest of the season.

[BoondockSaint]

It's only a little tied. It's still good, it's still good.

[Kevin]

Its officialy tied up..

[Arch Stanton]

Darling just said it. It is a mental game now.

Can't ask for more then the starting pitcher gave ya. You have to put the ball in play.

[Bossanova]

Its officialy tied up..

Kev, I love ya, but di you really have to post such hurtful things

[Kevin]

Kev, I love ya, but di you really have to post such hurtful things

Honestly its tough.. I tried to rub it in on horsepants but he was so dejected that it took the fun out of it.. I want to get back at you guys for earlier in the year when we blew and you were laughing it up, but this is too much..

[Doogie]

Its disheartening to the fans cause the players are playing with NO zeal. It is like they dont care. Reyes looks like shit lately. The only three guys that seem to want to perform are Alou, Wright, and Beltran. Everyone else is preparing for the offseason. This team has no fire. And that is why it is easy for us fans to get down on. Pedro o=put in a performance that was winnable, but they just let it go. I am going to the game Saturday, but I already feel like Phillie wants it, and the Mets dont. And that is the part that hurts. When someone gives up, they dont fight.

[Bossanova]

I honestly think this is this most dejected I have ever felt after a Met loss. And that included Game 7

Game 7 sucked more than anything, but at least I felt that they cared. I just dont feel that from most of this team. I think maybe 5 guys are giving evrything. Jst a shitty feeling

I liked him when he first started but now he really annoys me for some reason. I think he just takes everything to such an extreme every time that it loses meaning.

I kinda feel that about Summers.. His shtick is funny at times, but he does it all the time that it gets annoying and repetitive..

Yeah, I'll listen to his monologue but then I'm done.

[Bossanova]

I hate Summers

[Bulldogcakes]

I'm not a huge Joe fan, but he's fun on occasion. And when one of his teams is having a hard time, it can get totally out of control. Its a show where the callers try to talk sense into the host, instead of the other way around.

He's even calmed down a lot in the mid days. His overnight rants were priceless.

"Cardinals stroll into town for one game to shut down Amazin's"

I just read this on the Cards website. Is this a common nickname for the Mets or something? I've never heard/read it before. Oh, and sorry about the whole "showing up to play" thing tonight. Who knew Piniero could get past the 4th inning without giving up 6 runs? I sure didn't.

I just wanted to post my favorite article EVER

It's Not Official But the NL East Race Is Over
by Kevin Kernan

August 26, 2007 -- MEMO to Jimmy Rollins: The best team won.
Yes, it's still the dog days of August and the Mets have to travel to beautiful Philadelphia tomorrow, but the NL East race is over. Though the Yankees are fighting for their playoff souls, the Mets are merrily on their way to another October.

This really wasn't much of a race. Despite all the Mets problems, despite the fact they left the door wide open in the division, the Phillies and Braves have not been able to step through the portal.

So at 6:47 last night when Aaron Heilman got Luis Gonzalez to bounce into a 1-6-3 double play to give the Mets a 4-3 win over the Dodgers at sweaty Shea Stadium, the NL East race came to a close. Sure, there are magic numbers ahead and the official champagne clinching, but the Mets have no worries until October.

Even Carlos Delgado got into the act, banging a two-out, two-run-single in the fifth after Grady Little intentionally walked Jeff Conine to get to Delgado.

Though he's been frustrated by his season-long slump, Delgado said there was never any reason for him to start throwing bats or helmets, "and the fact you have a six-game lead helps," he said.

It sure does. The Mets know where they sit.

As soon as Delgado made his statement, the first baseman was reminded the Mets lead was 6 ½ games (the Braves and Phillies played last night).

"But who's counting," he said with a smile, later adding there is still a long way to go.

No there isn't. The Mets biggest challenge is to stay interested in the final five weeks of the season and to have the eye of the tiger when they get to the postseason.

Orlando Hernandez continued his magic and was brilliant for six innings before allowing back-to-back home runs in the seventh. The Mets are 9-0 in El Duque's last nine starts.

On this day the Mets didn't even have to use closer Billy Wagner, who has been used too much of late and told the team he needed a rest and to let Heilman finish the job.

Jose Reyes stole his 70th base after a leadoff single in the third, and David Wright knocked him in to put the Mets on top, 1-0. Reyes became only the second major leaguer since 2000 to notch 70 steals. Scott Podsednik stole 70 in 2004. At this rate, Reyes is likely to have the most steals since 1988 when Man of Steal Rickey Henderson swiped 93 bases for the Yankees.

Conine knocked in the Mets final run on a double to left that scored Wright in the seventh. Wright owns a ridiculous .790 on-base percentage over his last 19 plate appearances. The Mets simply have more weapons than anyone else in the East.

What the Mets were missing was a resolve to win at home. Tom Glavine, who was with the Braves when they used to be automatic division winners, noted that has changed. The Mets know they are good, even though they haven't always played like the best team.

The players will not admit that the race is over, but the Mets are confident in their abilities and have been from Day 1.

"We have the talent to win," Glavine said. "When you come off a year like we had last year and you have as much or more talent in the room the following year, you just look around and see a team that you think is a good team and a team that can win, regardless of what everybody else is doing or what other people think."

The Mets didn't think this would be a runaway like last year.

"We knew that our division was going to be tougher this year because the other two teams that we beat last year struggled, and you knew they were not going to do that again," Glavine said.

Wagner agreed.

"We just have to continue to play."

"We're in a great position," Glavine said. "All we have to do is take care of business and win our games and it doesn't matter what anybody else does."

Considering the talent disparity in the division, it never really mattered.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...what a douchebag!

[skyscraper]

Hey KC!
Still 2 more games to go! let's not jinx this. It can still fall apart for the Phillies. Obviously I hope it doesn't, and the last thing we need is this kind of thing to black-cat them.
The fact that Adam Eaton is pitching today does not sit well with me. He has been shaky, to say the least, in his last few starts. So all it would take would be for him to blow it for us and kill all the momentum we've been building. and then the mets could win, although they seem mentally out of it now. still, they could do it so may I ask you to remove this article until all has been determined?
thanks!

Can the Nats actually help the Mets this time?? Eaton isn't really pitching that bad but the Phils aren't hitting shit either. Sooo close.:ohmy:

Look at that, I post and the Nats get their second run. It just got posted on MLB.com.

where at ????????

I just have the scoreboard opened up on mlb.com. It updates ever 60 or 30 seconds that's all.

[lleeder]

I watch on Gameday on MLB.com. They have a batter and show you each pitch and whether or not its a ball, strike or in play.

Me too when I'm paying attention, but if not, or I'm watching a lot of games, I just open up the full scores page. If something is heating up somewhere, I can open up that gameday or run to my DTV and put any game on. I have a system that is flawless my son, for all sports.

[spoon]

Sometimes I have two tvs (NFL mainly) with multiple tuners on four plus game which all have tivo and high def. I can then line up local games on radio and whatever I need on nfl.com with scoring update on the Red Zone Channel (HD too).
