I don't expect the Mets to roll over and die here. Staking the Braves at home would probably equate to a pennant win for them.
The Mets have a playoff game to worry about tomorrow. They won't put a single good player on the field if they can help it, nor any pitcher they plan to use in the WC series. [Reply]
Back spasms can be extremely painful if you've ever had them. They can last a while too. Hard to do much of anything, let alone pitch a MLB game. [Reply]
The Mets called up Joey Lucchessi, a 31-year-old with a 4.70 ERA in 115 innings at Triple-A Syracuse this season, to start Game 2. He pitched only 4 1/3 innings in the majors this year. [Reply]

Don't let Al Bundy see this post. He thinks they make you a quitter [Reply]
