They did a pretty good job with this thing. My mom & grandma (Mets fans) are really enjoying the ceremony.
Never had a problem with the Mets, just a few of their fans lately who are a little too bitter (Lupica?). But hey. Thanks 1986 Mets for prolonging the pain of the Red Sox! Even though I was 5 years old I distinctly remember taking satisfaction in watching Wade Boggs sob and my dad telling me that "even though we're Yankee fans, it's not classy to make fun of him".
.
Why are they doing a 1986 ceremony? Every day in the booth they spend at least a half inning each game talking about 1986. It's quite sad.
Mets fans dwell on 1986 because they don't have much more than that to hang their hats on. When Mets fans I know go on & on about 1986, I tell them that if they don't stop, I'm going to go on & on about the last Word Series the Yankees won.Originally Posted by ryanm1058123
They shup up immediately.
I find it funny how much different Cohen's Met HR call is to the away teams HR call
Was he the same jerk who was talking sh*t about Yankee fans after the mets were winning big in an interleague game?

I can't stand Gary Cohen.
and Roberto Hernandez puts the fear of god in me
heheheh
They were complaining earlier in the game that the Red Sox looked like an AA team and that it was pathetic
Right now both the Yankees and Mets have identical records (73-48). But one plays in the very tough AL, and the other plays in the weaker NL. Hmmm, I find that to be interesting.
In the worst division in baseball
Let them have their fun. When you dont win alot, you have to treasure the few times you have.
As a Rangers fan....1994 is like for me. And in 2014, I hope they do a 20-year anniversary ceremony just like the Mets had.

I sure hope that the rangers win again before 2014
That Roberto Hernandez guy is a STOPPER.
this is why the NL is pathetic. The Rockies actually have a chance to make the playoffs?
I wonder if Keith Hernandez is gonna cry and whine about how the rockies look like a bunch of Single A guys in the bottom of the 6th.
nah.. Mets are gritty and gutty and they are like the 1986 team
the NL is pathetic....the Mets are a decent team, the only one in the entire league. I dont see how they dont get to the WS.
But they dont stand a chance against whoever comes out of the AL

Dodgers are good too, better than the mets
Yes indeed.
He was also the one bitching and moaning about that bad call before Giambi's walkoff vs. the Pirates last year.
But ask any Mets fan and they'll tell you how biased Sterling and/or Kay are.....
Don't look down here.

Man, is that all they talk about in the Mets booth? The 1986 World Series?
Hmm, a few weeks back, a red hots Mets team strutted into Fenway.
The Sox were hot too, but this was billed as a possible WS preview.
The Sox manhandled, dismanted, and ran the Mets out of Boston..
Starting yesterday, the Yankees, still suffering from injuries to their corner OFers and having spent bullpen, walked into that same Fenway park..
Through three games, the Yankees have laid nuclear winter waste in Boston.
The Mets are the best of a bad bunch of NL teams, if they played the Yankees right now, it would be devastation personified..

Speaking of Met's announcers, doesn't it seem that they're required to have an annoying, whiney, nasally voice to get the job? Almost every Met announcer that I can remember (especially on the radio side) speaks through their nose. Think Howie Rose to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
They're just trying to represent the "ugly loser kid" image of their fan base.

You're not far off. I'll just add the "ugly, loser, suburban kid" image to your description.
He routinely talks smack about all things Yankees. One time he tried to claim Babe Ruth's home run totals were inflated by Yankee Stadium, which he called "Not the House that Ruth Built, it's the House Built for Ruth."
Of course, in the seasons Ruth played his home games at YS, he had 259 home runs at home and 252 on the road, a whopping differential of 7 home runs in 12 seasons. But Mr. Snarky didn't bother to check the facts before he popped off.
I thought Bob Murphy had an excellent announcer's voice. Unfortunately he's deceased.
I'll be the only one to stand up for this (you're all Yankee fans and you're going to side with the boys from the Bronx), but I really think this is unfair. The Sox are a much worse team than they were when they faced the Mets. How can you accurately make a determination as to which team is better using just three games? Pedro was hurt (contributing to his debacle) and Coco Crisps' brilliant catch on a David Wright gapper in Game 3 is all that separated the Mets from a win there. And in terms of their success against the Yanks, they went 3-3 against them.
You guys really are looking at it unfairly, IMO. But I guess the only way to prove you wrong is for the Mets to win it all. Or at least get there and not get run over.

Yes, he did have a great voice and he painted a great picture as he broadcast the game. He also seemed like a good person. However, most Met announcers are Lindsey Nelson/Howie Rose types, voice-wise. The majority do in fact call a good game, but I find it odd that most Met announcers have that nasal, whiney quality to their voice.I thought Bob Murphy had an excellent announcer's voice. Unfortunately he's deceased.
My momma always told me, if you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all....
then again, I didn't always listen to my momma.
I think you're a nice guy and you have a good sense of humor (I'm not kidding). How's that?

Tom Glavine's season could be in jeopardy.
Glavine, 40, has experienced coldness in a finger on his pitching hand, and the New York Mets left-hander is scheduled to undergo medical tests next week in hopes of finding the cause, sources told the New York Daily News.
Glavine, a 287-game winner, is scheduled to have a CT scan Monday and an angiogram on Wednesday, the newspaper reported. Doctors are unsure whether Glavine's problem is related to a blood clot or possibly a "knot" in an artery near his left shoulder.
...
Just heard this on WFAN (listening on the net).....thoughts and prayers are with him right now.
Scary stuff. Prayers with him and his family. Huge dent in Mets' World Series aspirations.

When the say knot, they mean aneurysm, like David Cone had, which is very bad...
Palmer killed Billy Mays
I heard that it's not an aneurysm for sure.
I'm not a glavine fan at all but I hope the guy is ok.
I had been telling cocky Mets fans that they better wait until Pedro & Glavine hit the DL, but I never thought/wanted Glavine to hit the DL like this.

I love El Duque and hate Gary Cohen.

El Duque steals the first base of his career. Nobody was covering third.

Seriously?
Seriously. Mulder on the DL, Carpenter struggling, a black hole behind that.
Not In Our House.
Carpenter is struggling? News to me.
Carpenter has a 3.09 ERA coming into this game which should go down below 3 after it. He also has a 1.09 whip and a 3.85 k/bb. No way in hell Carpenter is struggling.
Should've said was.
Either way, it's a black hole after him.
Not In Our House.
At Least the Cards have a Ace right now. The Mets are the ones with the black hole IMO
Your reading impediment is holding you back again. Pedro is on the DL as a "precaution." You know, the things you can do with a gargantuan lead.
The Cards don't have half the lineup or bullpen the Mets have, and the Mets rotation is much better as well.
Not In Our House.
To add, the Cardinals pitched Carpenter today, who turned in a solid performance and is a great pitcher (my comments above about him struggling now were off, my bad, should look things up a little more often).. For the Mets series this week, you're running out three pitchers with an ERA of 5.70 or higher.
'nuff said.
Not In Our House.
Pedro has had ailment after ailment this year. There is more reason to think he won't be healthy for the postseason than to think he will be healthy. If he is not and Glavine goes down, this team is sunk.
Pedro's been on the DL twice now. First time for a hip issue that's 100% now, second tiem for a minor calf injury that everybody agrees is not a big deal.
Sorry, but I'm not concerned. I agree however that the Mets are in trouble if Glavine is done for the year.
Not In Our House.
I hope Glavine is OK.

The Mets took a chance with 2 guys who are on the bad side of 30 with thousands of innings on their arms. Good luck expecting anything from pedro in September (Or October).
You do realize the Mets' best pitcher is Steve Trachsel now that Glavine and Pedro are out indefinitely....
keep in mind those calf injuries tend to linger for a LONGGGG time. See Roger Clemens from last year. Wasn't the same from August to October.
Keep in mind also that Pedro has arm issues every year, from what I understand he has been pitching with a tear in his shoulder, not a huge one, but one that causes him pain every year .
He seems to shut it down in August alot and be bounces back healthy by October, but I dont know how many times he can goto the well before it dries up.
He is pitching with a bad shoulder, it just shows how amazing a pitcher he is to do what he does at less then 100%.
The curent injury might be a calf strain, but the Shoulder is the real concern IMO.
In regards to the Shoulder:

As far as the Cards matching up against the Mets, the Mets are slightly better offensively (a little more power), and a Pedro-less Mets pitching staff is still better than Card's pitching as long as Glavine was healthy. A lot can happen b/t now and the end of the year.
Here is also something to consider. Barring a complete collapse by the Mets, they are on cruise control right now, and the Cards are involved in a dogfight. More sense of urgency
I like the Cards chances allot
