Anyone know the over/under elimination date for the Mets from the 2011 NL East race? I think it's sometime in August.

Thanks for your help.

    Well, if nothing else, you'll now have to include the Phillies when you talk about high payroll clubs ruining competitive balance in baseball..

    Can't let the New York teams walk all over ya - at least in Philly...those days are over.

    BTW: Despite the benefits the Phillies are obviously deriving from all this, I'm still in favor of a salary cap in MLB.

    I just looked it up - the Mets over/under elimination date is in April. Can that be right?

    I also read in that same paper the Giants are going destroy the Iggles Sunday, can that be right?

    We do not bring that up when it involves his team.

    Agreed. The NFL should be the model for baseball. Having perpetually bad teams in KC, Pittsburgh, and other small markets is not sustainable.

    No, I think it's right. Sometime around the middle of April.

    I've heard that Grote15 is already stocking up on the Jim Beam and Jack Daniels, to get him through the Mets soon to be dreadful, losing 2011 season. LOL

    Maybe he could use the slow summer of 2011 to sell off some of those Mark Sanchez rookie cards.

    That'll help keep ya in a good mood.

    I'm in such a good mood between the Phillies off season and the Eagles playing well...anyone could burn my house, steal my car, drink my liquor from an old fruit jar...and I'd still be in a good mood. LOL

    A Phillies vs Red Sox WS would be nice

    Yes, that would tick me off. Fortunately the Mets have few fans left so I ain't worried about it happening.

    Grote15 and I are still METS fans ... win or lose. I think the next 2-3 years will be tough. They have probably loaded up their management with some of the real sharp baseball guys ... you have to give them a couple of years to get the right mix of players. Sucks to have to wait a few years, especially with the ticket prices!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    The Phillies had a long extended period of losing before doing well, so maybe we can learn from them...

    Doug understands what it takes to be a Mets fan...lots of patience and a willingness to suffer before celebrating. The '69 and '86 Mets teams are among the most famous of all championship teams of all time, so when we do finally win, it's very sweet indeed!

    The 1986 WS was quite interesting, but I wouldn't equate it to the 1969 WS which was truly something special...even amazing. image

    I'm pretty sure the rare footage I have of the Mets getting the last out shows a young SteveK rushing out onto the field to congratulate Jerry Grote...image

    I still say the Mets don't win that series without him.

    I think a quote by Johnny Bench about Grote, sums up how good a catcher Grote was. Bench said, “If I played for the Mets at that time, I’d have been playing third base”.

    He sure could call a ballgame, that's for sure...
