I was at the seven homerun game into 2005 . I'm hoping a break that record tonight!

So, after my very rough few days, get home and am exhausted obviously.

So Im watching the game as we are getting de-stroyed, and I give the remote to my wife, whose been awesome through all this. Tell her I need to rest anyway.

WTF HAPPENED?

I'll take it after getting to watch the last three, every single inning

It's just amazing man.

6 weeks ago if they were down 2-0 to anyone I really felt there was a 5-10% chance of winning the game.

Now I feel 4-6 runs is possible any game.

Ive watched more games this year than in forever, and it had all been about the pitching. Id jump on the LIRR when a big 3 was on.

Now? Pitching and FUN? totally different viewing experience. when they would be down 2-0 in the first half, we'd be done and you knew it.

I'm picking up some tix for tonights game in Phily and taking the 2 kids.

Any suggestions/advice for the game?

1st time there.

Be ready for insults. Phillies fans will say bad things to you if you have Mets gear on. They will do this even if you mind your own business.

Yankees fans for Mets?

We used to call that the '80s.

Heck yeah. The '86 parade was one of the best days on the planet. Mookie, Doc, Daryl, Keith, Gary, of course. I'm sayin it's time once again. And the bandwagon has plenty of room, it's the reverse Craig Carton.

Yankees fans for Mets post labor day. I'm on ticketmaster now.

"Mets fans like myself..."

Robles quick pitching is sketchy but it is nice to see the Mets own this series right now. They need to close this out.

It was great hearing the broadcast absolutely rip him / the Mets for that.

Was just discussing this with my dad the other day, since certain unnamed channels frown heavily upon any actual criticism. I've really always enjoyed the Mets casters, some real greats. And, fwiw, I really liked Tim McCarver in his Mets days.

 
THIS is why I so wanted Cespedes... because to have him anchoring your lineup, everyone gets better, you can play guys in their correct role and to their strengths...

I mean a month ago, I figured we'd put up a good fight, maybe battle even and be in the race at the end of the season. Was great to see good baseball and awesome young pitching.

Now? Not sure this team can't play with ANY other in the league. Seriously, WTF did that come from? Not that I complain! But we have a really really good lineup, it's like a totally new team - and to a degree is with Cespedes, Uribe, Johnson, Clippard, Wright, D'arnaud - not to say a rejuvanated Flores, Lagares and Cuddyer.

But Having those last three as your core, the early season editions, is sad. Now the core is not only really solid or better, but they each play a perfect role, too.

A month ago they had John Mayberry Jr. batting cleanup with Eric Campbell batting 5th.

Must see TV every night now.

 
Living in a Philly market, I don't get to see many Mets games, but this series has been a real treat. I only wish I could have hit up Citizens Bank Park at some point, but work got in the way of that.

At this point, I really can't think of a team that they would have zero chance against in the playoffs. I know they had their problems against PIT, but I also think they can beat them in a 7 game series.

They are 0-7 vs the Cubs this season as well but that was before the bats came to life

 
Don't really have anything to add, but this is so much fun! Also, anyone want to pool some money to find a rocket we can use to launch Eric O'Flaherty into space?

I am not worried about that. In 1988, the Mets went 10-1 vs Los Angeles and then lost to them in the playoffs.

 
What are the chances we pull off a deal for another bullpen arm? Even a limited specialist type guy could really be key in those high leverage situations. Those one or two really tough outs that get you to Clippard or Familia. Or lets Familia do a 4 out save, but not 5 or 6.

I think we can get by for the regular season.

When (if) :unsure: post season rolls around you figure Matz and another SP will hit the bullpen.

Maybe then get a guy post Sept 1 just to grab a few innings down the stretch and we won't need them on the post season roster (since they can't be anyway). Something like that has to be pretty cheap, trade wise, no? On a good but slightly overpaid reliever who's a FA after the year.

What's the deal with Gee?

Anyone fitting that description, that will be better than what we could bring up from AAA, is unlikely to get to us in waivers without getting claimed by a team ahead of us.

Let's just keep on building a nice comfortable lead.

He's off the 40-man roster, which is currently full. If the Mets need someone to eat innings, they can make a roster move to clear a spot and bring Gee back up, although I wouldn't count on it. Gee's been pretty bad in Vegas, but everyone is bad there who isn't named Matz or Syndergaard.

Gee seems like an enormous #####. All else equal, I'd rather keep him out of the clubhouse.

Yeah, and there's no need for him. As we've already seen, Verrett can do a more than adequate job of starting if the need arises, and Matz will be back next week.
