Delgado has 2 surgeries...

Carlos Delgado had his second surgery in 8 days...
The first surgery was on the carpal tunnel in his right wrist...
This surgery was for tennis elbow on his left arm...

Mets say he will be ready in mid-February...

5 Mets file for Free Agency

Mets.com says "The five Mets who filed were Cliff Floyd, Steve Trachsel, Ricky Ledee, Orlando Hernandez and Chris Woodward."

what to do with them...

Floyd-- maybe a one year deal. if not...Hey Cliff, want to coach??

Trachsel-- No thank you!

Ledee-- not in a million years.

Hernandez-- Would love to see him back. 2 year deal?

Woodward-- where were you this year?!? maybe a 2 year deal, $1 mil...

....and we're back!

it took some time to collect my thoughts and feelings after game 7...

Since that day...free agent to be Cliff Floyd has undergone surgery on his achillies tendon. His recovery time is seen at 4 months.
...we may not see Cliff back in baseball again...his only chance is probably with the Mets...

...next year boys, next year...

Last Night...

I finally got my emotions semi- in order...

Last night was something special...from about 5 o'clock, when I got out of class, I had goosebumps. My stomach was in knots, I can't tell you how much my hands were shaking...
Coming up on gametime, I did all my rituals, put on the Mets batting helmet (backward for defense, foward when they're batting) I also put up the lucky cardboard box, and filled out my scorecard. I had to leave the door open on our dorm room, and had to blast "Meet The Mets" (original version) very loud for all to hear...

This was one of the best games ive seen, by both teams...
I especially will not forget Endy's catch...that was one of the most beautiful catches I've ever seen...top play of the year in my book...

I will not forget this game. I've been a lifelong Mets fan, my dad is a mets fan, so i've followed in his footsteps. About 3 years ago, i started to watch religously...i would watch and/or listen to as many games as possible. This year put me over the top. I have purchased so many mets shirts, hats, weird little knick knack items (like one of those light up glass things you buy on the streets of NYC) I've started blogging, and now have my own domain...as you can obviously tell...

Thats why it hurt so bad last night...
I've put so much emotion into this team, so many amazing moments and the few bad ones. The team has been so high (11 run inning in Chicago, sweeping the Braves...just so many) and we've hit some rough patches (No Pedro, No El Duque...a few more, but it pains me to think...)

But here we are...2 runs away from going to the World Series...
I have to say, this was an amazing year...we should be proud of what they did, but we should look forward to next year...
The team will be stronger, more well rounded, and they will be hungrier...alot hungrier.
They tasted it, but they're going to want more...

Omar...Willie...and all the guys...lets do this again...

Ya Gotta Believe!

Game 7:: Cards 3 -- Mets 1

i don't know what to say...i'm in shock.
nice job by Jeff Suppan...



good job Endy Chavez...that was nice.



...see you in april...

...Almost There...

We're about 60 minutes away from gametime...
and I've never been so nervous.

I cannot imagine what Oliver Perez must be feeling...hopefully nothing.
he should just go out and throw the ball right past those Cardinals (not past Lo Duca though, no Wild Thing tonight Olli.)

We need someone on the offense to have a HUGE game...
Wright, Delgado, Beltran..one of them needs to have a monster game...

alright...you know the rally cry...

Ya Gotta Believe!!

...Game 7...

The table is set...
With a 4-2 win in Game 6, there will be a 7th, and deciding game tomorrow night...

John Maine pitched an amazing game...giving up 2 hits over 5 1/3...
...he got out of a huge jam in the first, and settled in real well...he was scaring me with his walks every inning. but he stayed cool and pitched great.

....Billy Wagner....i dont know what to say...he is a heartattack pitcher...that was such a mess...he couldn't put away anyone after having them deep in the count...
...cmon Billy, stop worrying about what you're going to write in the Post tomorrow...and pitch the darn ball!

~Game 7~
Suppan v. Perez(?)
Oliver Perez will likely start the game, with Darren Oliver coming out of the pen if Perez gets in any trouble at all...
We need a huuuuge game from the offense, that was completely shut down by Suppan last game...

...keep it up boys...
Ya Gotta Believe!

Hot Foot remembers the last "Game 6"

Over at HotFoot, they remember the last Game 6 @ Shea...

The infamous Game 6 of the '86 WS...

"We believe because we've seen it with our own eyes.
We believe because there is no other option.
We believe because time and again, the Mets have come back from great obstacles all year long.
We believe because we watched them compile the best record in baseball despite the fact you couldn't tell who might be on the mound from one day to the next.
We believe because of Wright's walkoff against Mariano.
We believe because of Carlos's walkoff in the 16th against the Phillies.
We believe because of Wright's walkoff in the 14th inning against the Braves.
We believe because of Carlos's first pitch walk off against the Cardinals.

We believe because we are Mets fans.

I believe.

Ya gotta believe."

Game 5: Cards 4 - Mets 2

...not good.
Tom Glavine looked ok, but continually got squeezed by Jeff Kellogg. Kellogg did not establish any strike zone what-so-ever. He was calling strikes all over the place (especially the strike to Jose Valentin with two on and two out)

Again Glavine pitched great ball through the first 3 innings. Then hit his bumps in the 4th and 5th.

The Mets left 8 players on...2 in the first, 2 in the 8th...



Back to Shea tomorrow night for Game 6...
Maine v. Carpenter...
this should be a tense game, Maine needs to throw the game of his life, and we need to get to Carp early...

...im very nervous...
