Where New York Mets Fans Get Their Fix

It’s In The Cards

A rematch of the 2000 NLCS is on. I like our chances. I see Saint Louis as a one trick pony. Albert Pujols is obviously the guy to watch out for. He can wreck a game with his bat. After that I guess its Jim Edmunds.

On the mound their ace is Chris Carpenter who went 15-8. Then you’ve got the likes of Jeff Weaver, Jason Marquis and Jeff Suppan. All three of these guys are beatable. I’m going to assume for the moment that they’ll throw Weaver in game 1 on Wednesday night then follow with Suppan in game 2.

I wonder if Willie will start Maine again in Game 1 or go with Glavine. I’m leaning towards the thought that Glavine should start against Suppan, who’s a stronger pitcher than Weaver. Maybe Brett can cook us up some stats on the season series and the pitching matchups.

New York Mets Win NLDS

Those are sweet words. A nice performance on a night when the odds said it wouldn’t happen. It wasn’t perfect, but as I always say about playoff games, “A win is a win.”

The NLCS against San Diego or St. Louis kicks off at Shea on Wednesday. That means three days of rest for Cliff Floyd’s aching achilles tendon and time to get the rotation lined up again.

I do believe in magic. Willie is going to make it work somehow. LETS GO METS!
