tho this year the Phightin' Phils are only 3.5 GB instead of 7....

think y'all can seal the deal this time around?

Delgado is a different player this time around, and after last night, I don't think we'll be seeing Heilman in a close game any time soon.

I definitely think they can close it out, but if anyone says they're not worried, they're probably lying.

we're playing our best baseball of the year right now

not ours

after all, SOMEONE had to win the division last year since y'all didn't want it.....

last year we had tom glavine.

end of conversation.

nh.

some recent evidence that they can put something together here.

They could kill two birds with one stone if they take 3 of 4 or sweep the Brew Crew @ home.

But I can't talk much about this team @ the moment.

and we are 24-12 w/ Bayhem

don't forget if the Sox don't go to the World Series, it's a push even if the Phillies don't scoop a Wild Card or division slot.

Sox look like shit against the teams they'll have to beat in the playoffs too...

but at least you can admit the Manny trade was good... the Sox have fared so much better, Manny was definitely bringing them down and BAY GOOD!

You should worry about the Brewers.Nobody is handing you the division this year.

I pity Santana until I see his paycheck.

Cake schedule for the mets, lack of clutch hitting for us....I just don't see a division win this year. I pray I'm wrong tho. How bout the fucking Astros? Where'd they come from??!

2 games back now.

i love this post.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-opCugiR2yA&feature=related

Mets should have won that first game for Santana but as for the final results at the end of the day.. I'll take it. Mets played a doubleheader I kinda expected a split, though this is not how I pictured it going down.

jus' sayin.....

We've got 7 of the final 13 games against the Mets & Phillies. So in a way, the Nationals control the fate of the NL East.

.

the Knicks in 36 years, the Jets in 40.......so basically you've got the Yankees and their annual 200 million-dollar payroll and the Giants' fluky run last year for recent New York championship representation.

Do you think all of those teams are hampered by some type of curse or are the Mets just second-rate-in-their-own-city choke artists, the Knicks just crippled by bad ownership and the Jets just historically wack?

In the 25 years since a title has been won in Philly, there was exactly one time total in all instances where they actually had the best team on paper and 'should' have won......the 2002 Eagles, unfortunately Donovan was still not all the way back from injury, Gruden outcoached Reid, and Barber picked off the ball to end the game.

Considering the 'any given Sunday' nature of today's NFL, I don't believe one loss equals the entirity of Philly's sports teams being under the spell of a damn statue.

Now go back to worrying about whether the Mets can escape alive or suffer in ignomy by blowing a division lead in September for the second-straight year.

i lied

you shoulda HEARD the ovation when they flashed the Mets score at the Eagles bar i was at.

and this was in downtown Manhattan....

i love it.

or sum shit.I can't decide weather I'm gonna off myself or go postal.

I woulda traded that for a win in Dallas but I'll take it nonetheless.

It's a sick deja-vu feeling,for sure.But it's better than the 90's watching Anthony Young and you assholes lose to Canada.We ain't dead,we just gots no 'pen.

.

if the phillies and mets tie:

- the mets would win the division and the phils would be wild card, due to the mets winning the season series

- if the phillies would not qualify for the wild card, they would play the mets in philadelphia in a one-game playoff on september 29th.

shit.

We got this!I'm glad it's happening like this,NOW it's on.

<-----still a half-game up.

too bad the brewers suck tho, y'all might actually sneak in the playoffs this year.

btw, Phils/Cubs series would bring a new type of terror to these boards.

i've been saying that since july.

so i'm actually pulling for the mets to get the wild card slot so THEY can face kerry wood 'n 'nem.

mets-phils nlcs would be fantastic....tho it would suck for me for personal reasons.

3.5 games is not seven, though. this would still be a choke job, but not nearly last season's epic fail.

that said, i think we can pull this out.

is it worth it to drive 7 hrs to miami for tom night's game ?? i'm considering leaving in a few hrs & gettin it in the miyayo all day be4 goin to the game & driving home afterwards.. im in GA and its prob the last chance i'll get to see the phils this season.. pipe dream (i have been burning) or nay?

Yes sir.

1st! lets stay here.

.

he terrifies me at this point

id rather see him in the 'pen

.

it's going to be back and forth the rest of the way. with the brewers' collapse, the struggle is probably just for bragging rights. both teams should see the postseason.

as marlin fans in miami last night .. dolphin stadium sucks dude

...very nice job

We won 11 out of 18 from you suckas this year.We may suck against the rest of the leauge but we played ya'll just fine.

...Philly may not even make the postseason this year ...the race is to tight to call a winner right now

NL East race being decided by relief pitching

By Jayson Stark

It isn't September of 2007 that hangs over the Mets' psyches anymore. It's their bullpen of 2008.


NL EAST
TEAM RECORD GB
Philadelphia 88-68 --
New York 86-69 1½

NL WILD CARD
TEAM RECORD GB
New York 86-69 --
Milwaukee 85-71 1½

We've talked a lot this month about the Mets' 2007 nightmare. But the more we watch this 2008 edition, the more we're convinced: This year, their biggest problem is a whole different nightmare.

Bad memories, you can stomp out. Bad bullpens … eh, not so much. These Mets are living proof.

So with every day that goes by, every late-inning lead that slips away, it becomes more apparent that bullpen success, or lack thereof, is going to wind up being the difference in the National League East.

That difference is now 1½ games, after a Mets loss in Atlanta and a Phillies win in Florida on Sunday. But if all games ended after six innings, those NL East standings would look a whole lot different.

In fact, according to Bill James Online, here's how those standings would look if games were six innings:

Teams W-L GB
Mets 84-52 --
Phillies 71-62 11½

Yep, you read that right. If games were six innings, the Mets would be leading this division by 11½ games.

OK, suppose all games were eight innings. Here's how those standings would shake out:


Teams W-L GB
Mets 83-59 --
Phillies 75-64 6½


Mind-boggling, isn't it? How gigantic are those last three outs? Gigantic enough to cause an eight-game swing in the standings. Gigantic enough, in other words, to change everything about this race.

Thanks to the best closer in baseball this year, Brad Lidge (sorry about that, K-Rod), the Phillies are 75-0 when they lead after eight innings. Their bullpen has blown just 15 saves (in 61 opportunities), fewest in the NL.

On the other hand, thanks to a bullpen that has lost its closer and has lost all sense of stability, the Mets have lost seven games they led after eight innings and 14 games they led at some point in the eighth inning or later. Their bullpen has blown 29 saves (in 71 opportunities), the second-most in the league, behind St. Louis.

So how ominous is that? Well, the good news for the Mets is that the 2007 Rockies also blew 29 saves -- and reached the World Series.

Now here's the bad news: Those Rockies are the only team in history that blew that many saves in a season and went on to win a postseason series (since the inception of the modern save rule).

So let's say this again: The difference in the NL East isn't that 2007 hangover. It's relief pitching, pure and simple.

"Both those bullpens are fried at this point, but the Phillies' is less fried -- and they have Brad Lidge," one NL scout said. "The difference between these two teams, really, is Brad Lidge. And even if Billy Wagner was still healthy, the difference is Brad Lidge."

After Sunday, Lidge is 40-for-40 in save conversions this year. If he makes it through this week without a blown save, he'll join Eric Gagne (55-for-55 in 2003) as the only closers in history to save at least 40 games in a season and blow none.

but i do worry about the state of the bullpen today. i wouldn't mind wrapping everything up by friday at the latest so lidge, romero, and durbin, especially, can get a nice long rest. i think we have to be real careful with durbin and romero anyway this week.

question: is happ eligible for the post season roster?

so he wouldn't be elligible.

9247 days have passed since a major Philadelphia sports team won a championship!

...so yeah, it does help

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude

http://www.phillysucks.com/


^^^ no wonder you guys are so bitter.. hahahahaha!!!

...thats one of the wildest things ive ever seen im a baseball game !!! ...HUGE win ...Philly lost and the division is still VERY possible

That should count for 2 hits.How did Hamels do tonite?

but his throwing error let in a run. the braves are essentially fielding a minor league team -- neither the mets nor phillies have any business losing games to them.

That loss lookin pretty.To me at least.

those first two innings, every dumb ground ball, broken bat, and bloop hit the ground. we didn't need to throw the ball all over the field or lose two guys on the basepaths in one inning.

whatever. good pitching matchup tonight.

http://www.wfan.com/episode_download.php?contentType=36&contentId=2936589

..that fat fuck is so bitter about the yankees its hilarious

we must lead the league in outs @ the plate

the rest of you, thank you for making more room for us (c) guru

...no problem tho ...come back and win tomorrow, cut the division lead to 1 game ..take that shit from the choking Phillies the following day


..we still got this

eh-eh! (c) stone cold

...unlike some mets fans im still very confident we can win the division, granted a lot of that confidence comes from having a sloppy team like the phillies in front of us

but for good reason

...as much as the mets may deserve it ...the panicking, short fused unsupportive mets fan bothers me ...i mean, bottom of the 9th 2 out all we needed was a hit and the place is silent from the fear ...should have put Kevin james on the jumbotron right then ..fuck

>should have put Kevin james on
>the jumbotron right then ..fuck

fans would go beserk if they saw that mf'er on the jumbotron, lol.

...Cotter and Benigno interviewed him on daily news live ..it was hilarious

i HAVE to see that. is it on the 'net anywhere? i cant imagine that guy walking around at shea....that's hillarious.

that stupid bitch with the wig-piece and painted on eyebrows trying to sell me mortgages and shit is like the second half version of guiseppe franco. theyre showing those commercials way more now....at least the franco ones were kinda funny.

good shit....

like he gets to use my car to run over his pops or somethin?

i mean, i'd rather see y'all make it than milwaukee.

but we totally should have dropped that one.

NL Wildcard, NL East, AL Central and overall #1 pick all very much up for grabs heading into the final 4 (5) days of the season.

im not.

and we got niese starting a game this weekend? this is gonna get rough....

Nope.Gotta put up alot of runs.

Maine was throwing tonite,who knows what this team is gonna do.I'm speechless.

of the next 6 days potentially being a wash bc of a noreaster up there .. lol .. shit could get wild man

>of the next 6 days potentially being a wash bc of a noreaster
>up there .. lol .. shit could get wild man

I was just checkin that out.This is gonna be interesting.

...gives starters extra rest ...i dont like double headers deciding a division race though

as FUCKED UP as it was, as devastating as it was or whatever adjective you want to use to describe it....

the fans and more importantly the team seems to suffer one of these about every other week....yet we're still here right in the thick of things. we'll bounce back....

its the last series of the season lol gtfohwtbs

all i said was that 'catastrophic' losses have become routine for the mets this year....

ride (apologies for the cliche)... it was a great game - terrible that it had to end in such a brutal fashion...


I still say the Mets man up and get it done... I hope so for their sake at least, this is approaching pre-04 Red Sox level bullshit

i dont care how we get it, i want in.

nm

but i want to go into the playoffs feeling like we have a chance to win. Maybe that was knee jerk after the way we lost 2 nights ago.

but i'd rather not the make playoffs then win one of these final 3, Milwaukee lose all 3 and then we get swept by chicago.

...but this is too true. It doesn't matter how you make it in, as long as you make it in.

I didn't want to,but I just cracked a smile.Dammit.I ain't over yet!Stanger shit has happened.As of now I am not feeling too confident but,Johan is pitching the next start(Whenever that will be)And that guy is a gamer.GO METS!

not only do the mets not control their fate, they're also playing against a team that is currently better than they are. if the mets and marlins were playing a 7-game series, my money would be on the fish.

this is terrible.

Let's get it!

...uh, i mean ...rain delay

and we got him for a loooong time!!!! ...unreal performance ...fucking AMAZIN

anyone that booed santana opening game can go kill themselves now

JOHAN!!!!!! CUBS UP 2-0

Johan shoulda be the front runner for the Cy Young if the bullpen didn't lose like 8 games for him when he left with the leads

But yeah, Johan has had a tremendous year.

he'd be 22-7 with an ERA around 2.50

Maybe 22 if he wins tomorrow. Basically the same ERA and IP, but Lincecum has 50 more Ks and about 25 more BB. Fewer hits per 9.

It's definitely close though, but I'm giving the edge to Lincecum.

...gotta give the edge to Johan

with the mets averaging a 'catastrophic' loss every 1-2 weeks....johan has probably pitched in about 10 'must win' games during the second half of the season and has put them in a position to win each time.

The Mets probably have the 2nd best offense in the league while the Giants probably have the 2nd worst.

Johan has gotten a third of a run more from his team over the course of the year.

Depending on what Lincecum does tomorrow, it's almost a coin flip for me.

old man moyer needs to take care of business

for all you cheap, out-of-the-market bols like me who didnt pay for MLB package

...tomorrow is gonna be huge ....i'll be there ..last game at shea .

yup.. they actually have a closer.. that helps just a tad...

...Fuck you, Billy Wagner.

met fans wish they had wagner right now....

our bullpen blew 28 saves. if we had even an AVERAGE bullpen, and/or blew 20 saves, we'd have sewn this up a week ago.

the way the mets clawed and scratched all the way from first place to fighting desperately for a wild card provides a motivational lesson for schoolchildren of all ages.

to possibly make the playoffs.

in comparison, the phillies bullpen blew only 15 saves this year, third best in the majors.

our bullpen blew 14 more saves than yours, and you're only 2 games up.

i pushed MY chest out after that.

get a fucking hit

homeplate seats at Chavez for at least one if not more game(s) in the resulting Phillies-Dodgers series.

I think I'd rather have Millwaukee complete yet another Met choke job instead though and hope that the Phils get by the Brewers and the Dodgers shock Chicago.

continues the met administration's legacy of staying on some assbackwards shit

...i was there last year when glavine killed us last game of the year ...ive been thru enough

If we pull this off, no relievers (except maybe Feliciano) are allowed. Everyone's throwing CGs.

we didnt hit for 3 straight games to close out the season

The entire team got plowed under by that bullshit. Santana should have finished 22-7 and winning the Cy.

Oh yeah, Omar Minaya. . .it would have been really nice to have an arm that could throw near 100 in that pen, but you went and traded him for two bullshit starters that had no chance of making the team. Thanks.

but the final week rests squarely on the offense.

between losing a game where u had 2 innings with runners on first and third and 1 inning with the bases loaded and not getting ONE run home....and then the final 3 games where you score a grand total of 5 runs....thats just a fucking choke job by the offense.

cant say I feel bad for yall motherfuckers.. good riddance

always fun to spoil a season.

What santana did yesterday was some next level gangsta shit. I mean CG, in a rain delay, on three days rest, when the team needed it. WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!

Nobody wanted to face that in a 5 game series.

makes living up here a whole lot easier now...i tried to tell the fans here that the season is 162 games long, but those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

but yeah, i'm proud of this post...went just as expected.
