    No worries, I actually want to see you guys get in the playoffs too. I really think an NLCS of the Phillies vs Mets would make for great October baseball, and heat up this rivalry even more than it already is.

    Yea, I was just trying to admit that I was wrong. An NL(East)CS would be crazy. I remember when the Mets played Atlanta twice in the CS and it was fucking nuts.

    I don't know if this is meant to make Mets fans happier or crazier, but it is interesting.

    I hate the Mets...I love the Phillies...this is great for me to watch but I do have to say I really think the Mets deserve the wild card and I hope they get in. Mets, Phils, Cubs and Dodgers...all the big cities represented! Now THAT would be awesome

    best case is the Phils hold onto the division but the Mets get the wild card. I much rather play the Dodgers than the Brewers. The Brewers could be dangerous in a short series with Sabathia and their lineup. Although I hate having to ever want anything good for the Mets.

    Ok, enough is enough. Time to take the Mets bashing and Philly loving posts back to the Phillie thread.

    As a Phillies fan, the dude's right people. Save it for the NLCS.

    Games like tonight remind me that no matter what happens, I love this team.

    Since when does Philly get to be called a big city?

    Oh, I don't know. Since the country was founded here, we're in the middle of "Megalopolis" as they call it, we are the 6th largest city in the country (only because cities like Houston and Phoenix can buy up land and widen their municipality). I think that's a big city.

    reports are circulating that Omar is about to receive a 4-year extension. considering the mets are a vastly improved team (with glaring holes) i guess it was expected. here is hoping they trust the youth that has played well this year (evans and murphy) and look strickly to improve the bullpen in the offseason.
    I don't want to be hostile. I don't want to be dismal. But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.

    Johan didn't have to throw 170 pitches like Manuel joked, but he did a really great job throwing 125 over 8 innings last night. This week is the whole reason the Mets absolutely had to go and get him in the off-season.

    He. Is. Clutch.

    I don't relish the idea of finishing the season against the Cubs and Marlins. But at least the Mets know they have to play hard this final week to stay in the chase. It's not like they got the Nats and the Giants where they could potentially lose focus.

    Why did Delgado begin running home on that throw-away as if he could walk in, only to realize after four steps that he needed to run harder? Was he having trouble shaking off the Old Man Rust?

    I get to see the Mets on tv tonight. Joy!

    I am not happy about the extension. Omar has done some good things for the team, but at the same time made some huge mistakes. I think he shouldn't have gotten more than two years, but what can you do. I definitely agree with you that I hope they trust Evans and Murphy (and Delgado for next year, and Tatis too I guess) and focus mostly on improving their pitching - starting too. No more Pedro and who knows what will become of John Maine. Also, maybe they can look into converting Murphy/Evans into a 2nd baseman. We need someone other than Castillo their.

    For those who are fans of the Mets because they're not the Yankees; get ready for all that to change. New stadium + TV network = Yankees 1A

    They could have and should have waited on the extension. he was signed thru next year. Should have let this year play out. Imagine if they miss the playoffs again. No Willie to blame this time.

    I feel like such a dumb motherfucker for actually being a bit optimistic before and during this game. How the hell can they not get one fucking runner in from 3rd with no outs and a 3-0 count on Wright??..truly pathetic..no coming back from this..

    Edit: But thank God Omah will sleep soundly tonight..

    and Harden tomorrow, the Cubs best pitcher. Even if he just throws 6 innings, I don't see the Mets winning, not with Pedro on the hill. Unless Lou plays the B team.

    Anyone know of any good support groups? I try to explain to people that being a Mets fan is the equivalent of openly accepting torture. It's like you continue getting kicked in the balls over and over, but after each time they'll do juuuust enough to pull you back in to get your hopes up and forget about the swelling and then abruptly do it again even harder and swifter. Not sure if I can go back after this one, but unfortunately I probably will...
