“Man, you guys are complete hypocrites.”
SJ Mike, who the hell are the hypocrites?! Just a few days ago this blog was the most pessimistic and pretty much looking forward to next year!

I dunno, man. Bottom line: this is baseball. Anything can happen.

yay im a fucking philly fan and were still in second place oh yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

You know, before the Phils coughed up 1st place, I made this comment when the Phils were losing but remained 1 game ahead of the Mets.

Trust me–it’s a dangerous statement to make.

AC, exactly what needed to be said to me?

1. You started calling me a “troll” once I said it.
2. I said something about you guys jerking off to pics of Charlie Manuel, then you say something about David Wright.

Come up with some original shit.

Paul, I think he will be shut down. As I said earlier, I believe that Maine pitching through the injury will only hurt this team.

Nice job Phils! Especially Feliz! Man… that guy can crush a fastball!

And the Mets are having some major injury problems, I guess Maine might be shut down for the season.

I agree the offense has to turn it around, no doubt. but I’m standing by what I said about the mets…they’ve had a lot of breaks during this streak, but they’ve got just as many issues as the phils – if not more.

1) Easier to come back when no one expects you too – they were chasing for a long time. Now the pressure is really on, we’ve seen before how they handle it.

2) Mets have exerted a lot of energy to get to this point – batteries may run out during september

3) Delgado is on the juice – that’s the only way i can explain frankenstein rising from the dead. but even that experiment fell apart at the end.

4) Who’s the closer for the Mets??? Everytime Heilman goes up their, he grimaces like someone is sticking a 10 foot pole in his ass!!!

5) tatis – coming back to earth now. easley – coming back to earth now. and with Castillo and Church back in the line up, its gonna hurt others timing.

AC – I agree that the Mets have been overachieving, although 60 games is a pretty long time to be overachieving, wouldn’t you say? I just don’t see having great success with Rollins and Howard hitting the way they are hitting. Utley and Burrell need to step it up too, but they’ve been better than the other two. Our starting pitching is what it is, and our bullpen is great. We’re a team that relies on offense.

that guy hit the nail on the head!!! finally, somebody said what needed to be said about tyler. except I don’t think its a ray knight bedspread, it’s probably david wright.

tyler probably goes “Jose-Jose-Jose-Jose” while he’s beating it too.

Hey, it’s 10th grade, not 9th!

METS – you were so pleasant earlier today, on the other thread. What happened?

By: AC in NJ

AC in NJ — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 04:32:10 +0000

Christian – i hear you. but the bottom line is the Mets have been playing way over their heads, and there is no reason to expect them to continue at that pace over the last 32. Meanwhile, Phils have been underwhelming since mid-June, but maybe just maybe now the proverbial lightbulbs have gone off in their heads. Certainly the team confidence has to be 100% better after the last 3 games.

Tyler. Its time to beat one off on your Ray Knight bedspread and call it a day. The first day of 9th grade starts sooner than you think.

Guys, it’s okay. I work with a Mets fan, and he’s gay too. Just let Tyler and METS vent their hot air. Arguing with them just fans their homosexual flames.

Tied in the loss column is the most important stat b/c it means you control your own destiny. it’s basically being in a virtual tie.

AC, your a go-hard. I come here just to talk to you guys and you go so hard.

It’s only baseball.

“METS”. You very well could be the Queen of France considering you just referred to yourself and the NY Muts as “us pussies”

Jesus people – quit getting so excited. Take a look at this hard fact: We are 30-30 over our last 60. The Mets are 38-22 over their last 60. Look at the situation last year – it was similar, but in the reverse. Everyone here is suicidal after one loss and ready to go to the world series after one win. No one sees the big picture.

Mike — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 04:28:10 +0000

Christian, have you seen the Mets bullpen lately? Les Walrond could close for them.

By: SJ Mike

SJ Mike — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 04:27:23 +0000

I honestly think missing Pedro Feliz for those couple weeks were a part of our offensive woes. Having him back in the latter part of the lineup gives us a clutch fastball hitter that we need.
