I’d read/heard parts of that, but Piazza’s pure class. That was a great retirement note. He has to go into the Hall as a Met.

I was able to get the asshole Braves announcers on local radio, and had to endure their gloating as that guy shut the Mets down. I thin k we all saw it coming. The Mets give you a ray of hope, then do the following; 1. Lose to a guy who is maybe the most despised by the blue and orange faithful (he's up there with Julio Franco in my mind, as that disgrace will never be rectified). Not only do they lose, they look meek and flat in the process. 2. Make a scrub from the Braves bullpen look like Seaver circa 1973. Comeon, guys, did you not see this one in the making? This organization has a history of making no-names look like Koufax. Now, we have to fight for a split (any guesses on the outcome of the next 2)?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('66061','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('66061','Rich','I was on business in South Carolina yesterday, and was driving for a good part of the game 1.

You think any current Met feels that way about the club and the fans?

Time for a change at the top.

Also, by the Mets handbook, get bases loaded against a batting practice pitcher (Glavine) and don't score any runs with 1 out. I am so glad I am only at work and not actually watching this because if Glavine beats us, I will be scarred for life.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('65985','Frank from Jersey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('65985','Frank from Jersey','How typical of the Mets today so far playing right out of the NY Mets playbook: Score a run and then immediately the next inning let the other team score also to give back the momentum.
