    right now the mets rise is a more interesting story than the yankees' tedious road to missing the playoffs.

    The Amazins have won 9 out of 10.

    Their starting pitchers have really picked up the bullpen's slack.

    Carlos Delgado had a five-hit night, including a GW RBI.



    I like how this team keeps re-inventing itself through the course of the season. Now, if only Manuel will ride the wave and let the synergy continue. Don't go trying to rush Church back or throw Castillo in at 2B the minute he's cleared. Let these guys think they're still fighting from behind. I think hanging-on by a thread brings out some good qualities in this Mets team.

    Let's Go Mets!

    .

    how come Delgado's 5th and game winning hit wasn't ruled an error? It hit the guy in the glove.

    Phillies better win tonight, as tomorrow's pitching matchup is favored heavily by the Mets. Maybe they can get to Johan in that bandbox, but winning tonight will take a lot of pressure off

    Phils won the last 2 matchups where Santana started, I know its bound to catch up with them, but hopefully they make him get his pitch count up and get into the Mets' bullpen.

    Either way, this is what the stretch-run is all about, key rivalry games...

    I know, but he's pitching his typical second half now. Unhittable. You're right about the pitch count and the bullpen though. If they can knock him out after 6 or 7, with the game close, that's their best shot.

    how long can S'weis go here? Will they have to run Perez out there? Philly has tomorrows starter warming up now

    nevermind. wow, what a game. a 7 run lead, considering what happened last year? Sorry, I'm really not looking to be a dick, Especially since my team lost a huge game, and have the one of the worst pitchers in baseball going tomorrow. I just think that's amazing. Johan really has to go at least 8 tomorrow now, with the whole bullpen being used tonight.

    No, you bust Mets fans every chance you get. As they would rightfully do to you as well. And I am an Eagles fan and there's nothing wrong with that. Boston fans are another story - who knew, this whole time they were nothing but Yankee fans.

    Once it was 7-5 it was clear the game was over because there was no way our bullpen could hold a lead for four innings, and of course since the Mets don't score after the 6th, ever, there was no way we could win in extra innings. Just pitiful.
    you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.

    don't get me wrong I am an Eagles fan too - but you know that I am referring to 'that' Eagle fan - the dbag who starts E-A-G-L-E-S chants.
