Mets/Yanks -- Round 1.

The Mets owned Saturday.. played great.
The Yanks owned Sunday.. played great.

I didn't see Gsme 2.. and am kinda glad I didn't. THat was a train wreck that continued into the first inning of Game 3.

You can't spot anyone (especially the Yanks) 6 runs in the first and expect to win. They made it closer. and that was admirable. Those other 4 runs were a killer. That was it.

As a Met fan.. here's how I feel...

The Mets are 2 games under .500 and are looking up at the Fish 3 1/2 games out. With the All Star break in 2 week or so.. if they can just stay within that 4 game window of first place.. that would be great for the Amazin's. Heck, last year the season was over by now.

The Yankees winning two games.. the Mets winning one.. it is to be what is expected.

They may play better at Shea next week. Hopefully they will.

And with respect to wagers around here..

Whatever the case.. at least Felcicia isn't making Don have to walk around in a Yankee thong in Penn Station at 2 in the morning. JK!!!!

Wait til you see when we sweep the Yanks at Shea.. you'll see.. I guarantee it! [/QUOTE

It could happen

Sure it 'could' happen ..........

but I'm REALLY hoping & expecting it NOT to happen

Though truth be told, I'm more interested in the Yankee/Red Suxx series than the Subway Series ... THESE games truly matter to us!!

GOOOO YANKS!!

we're counting on you to overlook the Mets while concentraing on the Sox -- then we lower the boom

well it'll be traschel, ginter and seo who'll do it. if that happens.. i am buying everyone a Long Island Iced Tea!

Actually... I am seeing Glavine/Traschel/Ginter myself. Doesn't Glavine pitch tonite... which means he would be ready for the weekend.

Another thing... a good amount of the homers that the Yanks hit over that weekend would NOT be gone at Shea. Yankee Stadium is like playing in a little league park with it being 317 and 318 down each line. At Shea its close to 340 at the foul poles. Half of the yankee homers would be fly outs at Shea.

Not like the moonshots that Hidalgo and Floyd hit. Floyd's could have cleared the Met bullpen... and Hidalgo's would have hit the scoreboard.

Re: Mets/Yanks -- Round 1.

Didn't Sheffield and Sierra crush the ball on their HR's? And while Shea is a deeper park that doesn't mean they would be outs, they could be doubles instead.

Jenn524 Posted: Jun 29, 2004 05:52 PM

Re: Mets/Yanks -- Round 1.

As far as the Mets pitching for the weekend, Glavine is not pitching. You guys have Seo going tonight which means he'll pitch Sunday.

Re: Mets/Yanks -- Round 1.

And I'm sure nobody else in baseball is on steriods except Bonds, Sheff and Giambi. Come on let's get real.

Re: Mets/Yanks -- Round 1.

i'm sure there are, these are the only ones that are publicly known

Jenn524 Posted: Jun 29, 2004 06:03 PM

Re: Mets/Yanks -- Round 1.

Yeah but people are blind to the fact that steriods is a huge problem in baseball. While fans of other teams are making fun of these players they make it sound like everyone on their team is innocent. If baseball ever actually cracked down on the steriod problem I think you would see at least one name on every team in baseball.

Well that was a DUMB move by Art Howe (once again). There was talk that they should have skipped Seo's spot in the rotation a day. Why they didn't do this... I DONT KNOW. If Glavine pitches today... he is on his normal four days rest thanks to the day off on Monday. Seo then pitches tomorrow... and we get Glavine next on Sunday.

Grrrrr!!!! I hate this f'in manager we have. Now we go into the Yanks weekend with our three worst pitchers. Duh!

Bring back Valentine!

Re: Mets/Yanks -- Round 1.

And I just looked at the Yanks and they have Contreas/Mussina/Vasquez up for that weekend.

The Mets's bats better show up that weekend... cause it definitely won't be a low scoring series.

Jenn524 Posted: Jun 29, 2004 11:06 PM

Re: Mets/Yanks -- Round 1.

Howe was probably thinking that he would rather have Glavine go against the Phillies since they are in front of the Mets in their division. I know you'd like to see the Mets give the Yankees their best pitching, but the Phillies are a more important series in the standings.

DjPiLL Posted: Jun 29, 2004 11:07 PM

Re: Mets/Yanks -- Round 1.

Yeah I was thinking that too. But come on. Its Mets/Yanks. And frankly... every win counts. Whether its against the Phills or the Yanks.

Jenn524 Posted: Jun 29, 2004 11:11 PM

Re: Mets/Yanks -- Round 1.

true every win counts, but they count more in your division.

Another thing he might have been thinking is this Yankee lineup will probably score 3 runs easy off Glavine and the Mets bullpen. Might not be too easy for the Mets to score more then 3 off Javy and the Yankee bullpen. Why waste your best pitcher? Save him for the more important game against a team that he can shut down more.

Just an idea.

Your new pic reminds me of my FW and me..

For her B-Day. I went to the store and bought her a Jeter jersey as a gift. She LOVES Jeter.

Of course, after having to pick up that jersey, I went home wrapped it.. and then washed my hands thoroughly after handling it!

I touched yankee stuff.. ewwwh.
