Cheese Louise – it was 6-2 and I was sleepy so I turned off Howie and had sweet dreams about Shea Stadium (scarily all that is true).
I was quite surprised this morning to hear the Mets lost.
I know some of you are delusional and choose to ignore the fact that all these teams play each other. Here’s your Wild Card standings.
5.5 isn’t as bad as being in 8th. Catch the Pirates and/or stop blowing leads against the team you’re trying to catch before you start with that.
This year reminds me of 2004, with the Mets staying on the periphery of the pennant race but never having a real shot. Good thing Sandy Alderson is smarter than Jim Duquette.
Actually, the team we’re trying to catch hasn’t played well lately at all. And they can’t score much. Managed to win on a pitching gem but have the dark underbelly of their rotation threatening to drop a series against the Dodgers tonight.
You obviously mean the Phillies, are the team the Mets are trying to catch. While Shannon is referring to the Brewers (current WC leaders) as the team the Mets are trying to catch. Because I don’t believe there is a team in baseball who have played better for the last month than the Brewers.
>> And they can’t score much. Managed to win on a pitching gem
Ever notice how much more often that happens than offense making up for sorry pitching?
1) I refuse to believe that you were actually surprised.
2) This will go down in the annals as the “rise & repeat” season.
