Fuchsia--Attended my first game at Ebbets Bus back then but today I could walk there) and from a huge Brooklyn family of Dodger fans. When they left, I thought O'Malley's first name started with an "F", something like "truckin". I taught my son that a good day was when the Mets won and a great day was when the Mets won and Yankees lost. As we were both raised as Brooklyn Dodger fans we learned the saying Wait Until Next Year and appreciate it when if finally comes. Remember 1955!!!True Brooklyn, (walking to Ebbets Field as a kid) would still take more pleasure from the Yankees losing than the Mets winning. Rooted for Maris, Elston Howard, and Judge... to excel in Yankee losses.
Wish I could be there but I'm 1,100 miles away. I'll look for you on TV. Don't run onto the field naked!!!Just a reminder I'm going with an SJU buddy and waiting to confirm with our own sjc88 sept 1 vs dodgers a thursday 4:10 pm game if any of you other met degenerates want to go let me know tonight I'm going to buy tix this week
Meh. Mets look like a tired baseball team. Rockies for 4 and then Dodgers. They’ve had a brutal schedule but after that it really opens up. You have to win the games but I feel pretty good overall. A day off right now is a good thing. Hopefully, deGrom gets us back on track.
People tend to overlook they won the world sieries last year. Very good pitching and great hitting. I still think the Mets will take them but they are no pushovers.Braves are relentless
But obviously only a 2 game series not like it was 4 or even 3.Our first series sweep loss! YIKES!!!
One thing to keep in mind is the Braves have seven games with the Phils and Bryce has started rehab last night and hit 2 homers in a triple A. hopefully Phils still have a wild card shot when they play in mid September (and with 3 games versus the Giants, 3 with Nats and 6 with Miami before the Braves they should still have a shot).People tend to overlook they won the world sieries last year. Very good pitching and great hitting. I still think the Mets will take them but they are no pushovers.
todays off day like you said is MUCH neededMeh. Mets look like a tired baseball team. Rockies for 4 and then Dodgers. They’ve had a brutal schedule but after that it really opens up. You have to win the games but I feel pretty good overall. A day off right now is a good thing. Hopefully, deGrom gets us back on track.
Agree, we got 4 good starters going this w/e with an extra day's rest; and, hopefully the Cards play like a first place team and take the series vs. the Braves this weekend.LFGM!!! The Rockies are a team to beat. We're at home against a not so good team. Idle Braves are only a game and a half behind. We need these games. I hope that we at least take this series 3 out of 4. Even better 4 out of 4!!!
