Mike (117) Yes you are spot on. I know i’ll be interested and excited and all as the season begins etc…but it’s going to really be difficult to truly get into it until mid September. Unless of course the Mets roll and dominate the regular season like they did in 2006.

This really really sucks!!!! But the Phills certainly didn’t back in. And us Met fans can’t say a damn thing. We’ll have to just suck it up until the Mets celebrate in 2009 a World Series title.

man, I am just so depressed. I havent even posted on the series. Tip caps to the phils. They played a great series. The Mets have a lot of work to do. Are you listening Omar?

3.5 game lead on September 11th and our Mets still blew it. And to whom? The 90 loss Atlanta Braves to whom we lost the season series 7-11. Beat the 102 loss Gnats 12-6 but lost some big games down the stretch. Pelfrey and the team gets shutout 1-0 by Odalis Perez and two relievers was the worst.
Get shutout by a star like Hamels or Oswalt is one thing. But Odalis Perez???
No knock on Beltran-he’s a great player-but his talk of winning the pennant in the spring was as good as a politician’s promise.
Thanks for running this board John, and look forward to the hot stove league.

I’m not sure how Ruben Amaro is but I’d be interested to see what type of GM he is.
One thing is for sure, Gillick is a legend.

Better than Ed Wade (which isn’t hard to do).

Pat Gillick did a great job with the Phillies. Be happy he is retiring.
Gillick rolled the dice and traded all his best prospects and his team won.

Gillick will be in the HOF one day and this is the exclamation point on a great career.

i know this probably doesn’t apply to many of you but here is why this bothers me soo much. i am a huge baseball and football fan, and this past year when the giants won the super bowl, i was happy but not as happy as if the mets could have won the series. i think i feel this way because with baseball there is much more of a personal connection with the fans, well at least the die-hards like most of us. investing nearly 4 hours of the day for the 162 games a year and that’s not even including spring training or the hot stove of the off-season, its hard not to feel like part of the team. i don’t know… i guess what I’m trying to say is that as a fan I would give back the Giants Super Bowl win just for the Mets to have a chance in the postseason.

Cole Hamels has a stupid voice.

Am I mad the Phillies won ?
A little bit.
But if the Yankees had been playing and won I would be pissed.

Bottom line I still hate the Yankees more than the Phillies, Braves or any other team.
