    unsung I stopped by on March 7 2024. First time in many years, had to update payment info. Hope all is well. Politicians suck. Bye. Posts: 9,487
    What makes it all worse is I'm a Mets fan in Cubs country. So not only do I have to deal with these idiots I have to try to explain baseball to them too.

    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..

    3 for 14 with runners in scoring position a the end of the day will bite you in the ass.
    you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.

    one thing I noticed as a Phillies fan watching this game was how tight the fans were. My god in the 9th when the Mets had the runner on third after Wright struck out it was a like a funeral. It sounded really quiet on tv and the fans had a look of impending disaster.

    This weekend could be brutal with the weather. How the heck are they going to do this if they can't play thursday and friday? Going to have to bring the Cubs back on monday maybe. Going to be crazy for sure.

    We knew it was over, as did everyone else..these gutless fuckers have put us through hell in the last few years..and David Wright is quickly turning into D-Rod...I would have pinch hit Santana in that spot..3-0, man on third, no fucking outs?? I still can't get my head around this scenario..

    We didn't even need a fucking hit. Just put that mother fucker in the outfield.

    I was doing all i could not to mess things up including watching from the kitchen since i got up when Ramon Martinez got his double and reyes got his infield single ... needless to say i eventually retook my seat.

    - 2006 ended with the bat on beltran's shoulder
    - 2007 ended with tom glavine unable to get out the first
    - 2008 hopefully will not end with runners on 1st and 3rd
    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.

    Can I get one fucking fly out!! One measly fly into the outfield!!! One slow roller to the right side!!! Good to see you all fired up and pissed off yosi..you're usually calm and collected, but this horse shit would make anyone flip..Stevie Wonder could have gotten in that fucking run from 3rd with no outs!!!!!!!!! D-Rod hasn't gone to the opposite field since 06, that motherfucker..

    a win is a win, but wow....that wasn't even the cubs B team. It was their AA team. there were 5 guys on the bench, available to pinch hit, with 20 or more home runs. None were used. Lou fucked the Brewers.

    Well, what do they have to play for against the Brewers? I wish Lou had thrown this AA team as you say out there for the previous three games ;)..anyway, great win..and Beltran has alway been my favorite Met :)..

    Lou will play to win if I had to guess. I think he'd rather face the Mets than the Dodgers. And he'd rather face them especially if they have to use Santana on Sunday. That would mean Santana would be unavailable until Game Three.

    Hopefully we'll have clinched by then :rolleyes: so Santana can pitch game 1.

    Good job by the Mets coming from behind to win last night. Even if it was against a lesser version of the Cubs, they were still down three runs late in the game. And the bullpen held its ground. Give 'em a little credit for battling the rain and the ghosts.

    But don't sleep on Lou Piniella, either. I agree that he calculated this week's Mets series with next week in mind. What manager wouldn't prefer to see the Mets on the other side of the field in October? Right now, I think he'd take them over the possibility of seeing the Dodgers in the first round. Wouldn't you?

    Haha. Oh man, I may try and be calm and collected here, but you should see me watching games. My housemate described it as "listening to someone in a torture chamber" and that was before Wed. night. I find myself screaming at the tv on a nightly basis with these bastards. And after Wed. night, there is no more calm and collected Yosi.

    Fuck this shit man. I won't start calling Wright D-Rod, well, cause after last season, where he defined clutch, he deserves another chance to redeem himself (and also I don't want a name like that stick and then have him actually turn into the next A-Rod) - but this does not mean I am not pissed as shit at him in general. And seriously, him not hitting to the opposite field is almost as infuriating as Delgado not hitting to the opposite field when the shift is on: THERE ARE NO INFIELDERS!!! FUCKING JUST TAP IT DOWN THE THIRD BASE LINE AND GET A FUCKING HIT.

    Ok. Breathe... Big game tonight. We need to sweep this series so fucking badly...
