Hope you enjoyed your days in the sun, 'cause it's about to get a lot bleaker in Philly over the next few weeks.
Honestly, though, you didn't really think the Sillies were going to hold off New York all season, now, did you?
It's a weak division, but somebody's gotta take it, and that team will be the Mets.
Postseason baseball in the last season at Shea...ah, I can feel it coming!!

steve we at home for the next 6 games before the break. giants and rocks. phils have cards and dbacks. take care of biz we might be ahead by the break!
but if mets dont do something about the outfield nothing will happen. alou and church look like they are done for the year. running chris aguila anderson and tatis out there isnt gonna net a world series ring.
they need to go after jason bay adam dunn etc.. or just signed the devil (bonds)to play lf! very nice series against the sillies. the 1 game i was over confident about we lost. almost was a sweep.
like i said earlier in the year. doesnt look like anyone is going to run away with this division. all these teams have bad holes in there game. mets have better sp. braves phils have better offense. bullpens all hit or miss. should be a fun september! and dont count out the fish they arent going away
get to first place before you start talking playoffs.

Almost...LOL! Yeah, and Buckner is in the dugout maybe the Red Sox win Game 6...

<< <i>yeah but for how much longer Stevek?

Bottom line - I'd rather be in first place than in third place. Ha!
Looking like your 'team' is holding on to that first place by a thread there buddy!
lol

If you remember and I'm sure you do, the Phillies won the East last season by a game...that's good enough for me...and right now the Phillies are in first place...and that's good enough for me.
Phillies can win the NL East by 1 game or 10 games or 25 games, either which way is fine by me.
I said 'on with the giants' meaning we play them next.
not 'on to the Giants'
In any event the Sillies are going down.
Have fun with the Cards guys.
Steve
ahhh I see I ended it with 'lets win there' that threw ya for a curve.
I was basically reffering to Bobby Kennedy and how he said "on to Cali and lets win there'
My mistake.

What a pathetic division. Hard to belive the NL West is even worse. Maybe the Mets will repeat 1973 and win the division with 83 wins.
I'm thinking the Sillies will wind up with 84.
Do the math Stevek
You lose!

Steve - your deep meaning posts are getting too complex for Sports Talk. Keep it simple man...none of us are all too smart here, except maybe for that Grote15 guy and his extensive repertoire of Aesop's Fables? LOL
Steve
<< <i>WinPitcher - How come there's no Topps baseball cards of the Mets in the 1950's? I could never figure that one out. There's plenty of Topps baseball cards of the Phillies in the 1950's, but no Mets cards. >>
Dam - WinPitcher didn't take the bait.
METS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol what are you talking about?

Gee, I guess I was going to refer to dem Brooklyn Dodgers in some way and how they left New York? The Mets as you know would have never existed if the Brooklyn Dodgers hadn't left New York. Yes they had a loyal fan base, but nothing in number compared to the Yankees fan base. New York is a Yankees town, not a Mets town...always has been, always will be. The Mets could move to Sacramento California for all most New Yorkers care.
wow someone sounds bitter! stevek calm down football season isnt gonna be much fun for you this year either...

Dam right I'm bitter - Waiting decade upon decade for a championship will do that to you. If the stinkin' Pets take a championship bid away from my Phillies, if there's a parade in New York, I'm going to drive up there and throw tomatoes at the players.
Actually you are partly correct, the early 60's baseball expansion was a direct result of baseball not allowing
a 3rd major league to start up. In case you didn't know it was the Continental league.
Steve
lol
Even the Mutts ain't that bad.

Just a waste of time, if you threw tomatoes at the Mets, they'd probably swing and miss. You guys are wasting your time, the
Mets or Phillies are going nowhere this year. Not enough pitching to get past the Cards, Cubs, or Brewcrew.

Yes they are - They still hold the mark for the worst single season record in modern MLB.
As you know that award would go to Cleveland.

But that 1962 Mets team had more heart, much more heart, than this 2008 Mets team which is why, despite their talent, the 2008 Mets will not win the NL East.
Steve
<< <i>And you know that how?

Ryan Howard is on fire. Leading the majors in Homers and the NL in RBI (including a Phillies team record before the AS break) and this guy doesn't make the All Star team? The snub may motivate him to keep out the whipping stick all the way into the playoffs.
as opposed to how much this team does.
Not sure what Ryan Howard has to do with any of it?
Steve

They had former Phillie Richie Ashburn, that's how.

Don't worry, Steve, maybe the Eagles will do well this year...

Frustrating huh....Mets finally get on a streak,but the Phils are matching them game for game. Get used to it. Don't you get a trophy for second place?
oh , YOU DON"T
JS
oh , YOU DON"T

Frustrating? We just finished slapping you around 3 out of 4, and have now won 7 straight. Your lead has dwindled from 6.5 games to 1.5 in a bout 10 days, and you're about to be overtaken. LOL!!
