Never Forget 69

The Mets Year In Review

Lou Di Falco — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 10:13:50 -0500

Perhaps the most memorable moment of the 2006 Mets season was the final out made on October 19 when Carlos Beltran took a third strike...

Thank You

Lou Di Falco — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 15:53:43 -0400

Congratulations to the 2006 NL East Champion New York Mets

Epilogue

Lou Di Falco — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 11:27:22 -0400

It started on April 3rd and it ended last night, two and a half weeks after the end of the regular season. On opening day 2006 the Mets defeated the Washington Nationals when Carlos Beltran threw out a runner at second base trying to stretch a single into a double.

Mets Seven Game Series History

Lou Di Falco — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 13:18:37 -0400

The Mets have played in three game sevens in their history.

Alive!

Lou Di Falco — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 23:50:53 -0400

Wait just a second while I take a tranquilizer thanks to Billy Wagner...

Cornered

Lou Di Falco — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 09:41:36 -0400

It’s as simple as this; win tonight or start counting down till pitchers and catchers report.

The Best Two Out of Three

Lou Di Falco — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 10:38:21 -0400

With last night’s rainout, the playoffs between the Mets and Cardinals take on a new life.

Rain Out Theatre

Lou Di Falco — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 18:58:27 -0400

As you probably already know, tonight's game 5 has been postponed because of rain.

It will all come down to starting pitching

Lou Di Falco — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 10:02:07 -0400

Let’s face it; the Mets just do not have the starting pitching to compete in this series. You can’t win in these series if you have only one legitimate starter, and in this case that’s Tom Glavine.

Behind Glavine, Mets take Game 1

Lou Di Falco — Fri, 13 Oct 2006 10:02:12 -0400

He is the new ace of the staff. This is why the Mets signed Tom Glavine three years ago. It took longer than he would have liked, actually it took longer than any Mets fan would have liked, but finally the Mets are back in the playoffs and Glavine is doing the things on the mound that fans could have only fantasized about.

Game 2 at Night

Lou Di Falco — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 20:10:16 -0400

Good news for the TV audience, game 2 will be tomorrow night at 8:05.

No Game

Lou Di Falco — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 20:35:52 -0400

Game 1 between the Cardinals and Mets has been rained out.

In case of rain...

Lou Di Falco — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 15:19:01 -0400

If game 1 is rained out tonight which is a possiblity, the Mets and Cardinals will play the first game of the seven game series tomorrow night at 8:19PM. Game 2 will be played on Friday afternoon at 4:00PM. There would then be no off day. The series would stay on schedule as it shifts to St. Louis.

The Article Debate

Lou Di Falco — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 11:50:14 -0400

The Mets, who won a National League high of 97 games and were the first team to clinch their division, the team that even with their injuries managed to sweep the high riding Los Angeles Dodgers, the team that remains the only one left standing in New York...

New Yorkers Love Failure

Lou Di Falco — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 15:29:52 -0400

I happened to be driving around at lunch today. While listening to ESPN and WFAN radio I was simply astounded that all the talk revolved around the Yankees. Except for a couple of calls on Joe Benigno’s show regarding the Mets wonderful sweep, all the talk was around what the Yankees must do. Fire Torre, don’t fire Torre…trade A-Rod, don’t trade A-Rod. Gees, the Mets are the Rodney Dangerfield of baseball!

Mets Sweep, Yankees Weep

Lou Di Falco — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 10:26:11 -0400

So the Mets are the number one baseball story in the New York, right? Guess again. The number one story in baseball in this city right now is what the Yankees will do after their most recent collapse in the playoffs.

Congratulations Mets

Lou Di Falco — Sun, 08 Oct 2006 00:07:42 -0400

The New York Mets return to the NLCS for the first time since 2000. The Mets, the only post season baseball in New York!!!

Up Two

Lou Di Falco — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 13:10:31 -0400

Up two games to nothing, the Mets will now head to Los Angeles to try and finish off the series in enemy territory. You have to be very impressed with the way the Mets have played in this first round of the playoffs.

Game One Win

Lou Di Falco — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 11:48:07 -0400

If you don’t think winning the first game in a short five game series is important then consider this: The Dodgers must win three of four.

The Mets are done now...

Lou Di Falco — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 13:45:51 -0400

...Pedro Martinez is forced to change his tee shirt in the game then slips, falls, and hurts his hip. He’s going to be out for a while? Oh Brother, the Mets are in trouble....

In Summation

Lou Di Falco — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 10:40:11 -0400

As a Mets fan this is a strange feeling. Normally on the Monday after the end of the season I always feel a bit melancholy knowing it’s going to be a good five months before I see the boys in orange and blue down in Florida.

Zero and Zero

Lou Di Falco — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 19:26:25 -0400

It’s all over; the 2006 regular season has come to an end. The Mets were the best team in the National League with a record of 94-65.

Wild Scenarios

Lou Di Falco — Sat, 30 Sep 2006 09:59:23 -0400

The only possible teams left to win the wild card are the Phillies, Dodgers, or the Padres.

Heading into the last week

Lou Di Falco — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 10:48:49 -0400

I know these games really are meaningless and Willie is correct in resting his players, but like the end of spring training where you want to build momentum heading into the regular season, likewise the Mets want to play winning baseball heading into the playoffs.

Awaiting the post season and all the talk

Lou Di Falco — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 16:30:32 -0400

With the Mets having now clinched the division title, the next team to do so will most likely be their cross town rivals who have a magic number of 1 over the Bo-Sox. It’s interesting how close the two team’s (Mets and Yankees) records are.

What a Great Season

Lou Di Falco — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 11:03:01 -0400

It took 91 wins. Many writers thought it would take more considering that Philadelphia had a good team, the Nationals could be a lot better, and of course the Braves are the Braves.

Let's Try at Home

Lou Di Falco — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 09:40:22 -0400

Well if it’s any consolation, something similar happened twenty years ago. The 1986 Mets, you remember them, went on the road in mid September needing to win one game to clinch the National League East.

This is rediculous

Lou Di Falco — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 22:22:29 -0400

This really reminds me of '86 when the Mets went to Philadelphia and couldn't clinch as they were swept three games.

The Flushing Chop

Lou Di Falco — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 10:28:02 -0400

Well after last night’s inspired come from behind win, the Atlanta Braves are officially eliminated from becoming the National League Eastern Division champion for a 12th straight year.
