meetthemets Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 It would be fitting if they did it at home against the Braves next week. It's a long shot but it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 # OF GAMES UNTIL THE METS ARE OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS:21. To be picky, that would be 35.Very good nonetheless. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

meetthemets Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 At least get the number of games right if you're going to make a joke, or know what a magic number is. Secondly, I see you are from Atlanta. I assume therefore that you are a Braves fan. That being said, you are the last person on earth that should be talking about early exits in the playoffs after a division win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 One out of fifteen ain't bad. It's not? Not winning the division, yes.That said, the Braves won a WS in these 15 seasons. How many have the Mets won? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetthemets Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 The 14 straight tiles is an impressive stat. I've never denied that. But don't sit here and brag about the one time the Braves won it all in 14 straight tries. If we're gonna get into a debate about championships, I'll take my two over your one.All I originally said was that a Braves fan shouldn't be talking about early exits in the playoffs, especially when it hasn't even happened yet. How many of those have the Braves had in the last 15 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those have the Braves had in the last 15 years? Shouldn't it be 16? Mets beat the Phils today.That said, I'm projecting they'll get beat by the Cardinals in the first round anyways.

Braves 3, (1914, 1957, 1995)Mets 2 (1969, 1986)Skip Caray: "Braves win, Braves win!"I'm proud to say that the Braves got an opportunity to win the World Series 14 straight seasons. No other team accomplished this.And any fan saying he/she doesn't want their team playing in postseason baseball for 14 straight seasons is lying.
