There is no way that post (DC 9ER) is the real DC 9ER, he would never say anything positive about the Mets, that is a imposter IMO.

Looks like the metsies have turned things around. Could be trouble for the rest of the east.

Some of you are really giving Willie no benefit for the argument he did give after the bad call. He may not have been tossed but you could clearly see how upset he was. Not to mention the fact that you could clearly here the home plate umpire say “you need to shut up Willie” just before he tossed Manuel from the game. ...Far from a perfect game overall but a great win and they ALL deserve some credit.

Great to see the Mets getting some hits with RISP—not to mention the fact that they didn’t let that nonsensical call derail them. They sure reversed that call quickly after Jeter’s comment…nice.

Really great game by Ollie, too.

And grandpa Alou is some hitter.

This game will take up a couple of chapters in Howie’s book. Day off tomorrow and the Maine Man starts the Braves games on Tuesday afternoon.

I’m probably checking out here, so barring a 9th-inning meltdown of epic proportions, let’s call this what it is: the most complete game the Mets played this year. Sure, we’d have preferred Reyes not get caught in a rundown or swing at the first pitch later, but here are the facts: in the face of the Bronx, one of the best pitchers in baseball, and a blind man umping first, the Mets hit well, hit in the clutch, played solid defense, got fantastic starting pitching, and everyone in the lineup contributed. Here’s hoping they take this momentum down to Georgia.

What do you think that yankee fans are feeling right now? We all know don’t we?

Annie – The Mets are better at home this season. After this game, they are 12-9 at home and 10-10 on the road, which is really under 50% because this game is being played in New York.

Why is Jon Miller obsessed with comparing Ryan Church’s home run to Reggie Jackson? He happened to homer while he was mentioning Reggie’s birthday and he hasn’t shut up about it since. I don’t know how the ESPN producers deal with Jon and Joe on a weekly basis, but kudos to them.

Best game of the season…

i’m waiting for Delcos to have a positive comment about Ollie…would love to see it, because Ollie really had a good game tonight, only 3 base hits, a couple mishaps here and there, but overall, a very good game. C’mon Delcos, you can do it! Either way, I had a feeling he’d do this, made a comment earlier about it. Ollie always dominates lefty heavy line ups.

Anybody else ever notice how Perez does his best work in big games?

Can Church do anything wrong?

He even seems to know when not to slide at home (if he slide he would have slowed down and may have gotten nipped in the back).

Reyes-in a 4-0 game in the 4th be patient. In an 8-2 game in the 8th it is ok to go up their hacking and hacking he did.

Hopefully his swing is coming back.

Now they have to keep this going against a real rival-the Braves.

Good for Willie letting OP start the inning even with 102 pitches coming in. Sure, the 9 run cushion makes it an easier decision, but with Willie, you never know.

Looks to me like the boys have validated Willie’s season pass to the Managers office. Interesting how this team plays so well ‘on the road’.

So much for Reyes’s head up his ass, eh? I liked that little dance he did with Delgado at the dugout.

Spiderpig – Scouts say to run early and often on the Yankee outfield. No arms. Abreu is the best but is often innaccurate.
