It was long. I'm pissed.

The gist?

Mets are lucky to be here. As pointed out on FOX last night, coming into last night's game the Mets starters had a 7.82 ERA, 2.53 WHIP, and averaged 3.1 innings per start in non-Glavine starts. With Perez's start added into the non-Glavine starts, the Mets have a 7.85 ERA and 2.29 WHIP. Ugly.

The Mets have a new lease on life and have a chance to win this thing. They need to wake up, continue to hit, get their heads out of their asses on defense, and play baseball like they have all season. With the Mets two best starters on tap in the next two games, they have a shot do good things which is really unbelievable at this point and they need to take advantage of that.

Jim Edmonds catch was siiiiick last night on a Reyes' flyball.

The Duque says he will be ready for the World Series should the Mets make it that far. That is good. I have faith in Glavine, Duque, Maine, and Oliver Perez. However, take The Duque out and insert Steve Trachsel (who we all know had no business starting a playoff game) and the Mets would have no shot against the Tigers if they get past the Cards.
