F'in weathermen. Up until yesterday, it was supposed to be sunny today. Now it's raining.

How's that? I thought the tickets on stub hub were always more than face value?

Not always. It depends on the game. There are seats above face value, but there were also tickets for last night's game for $10.

...FWIW, I made out like a bandit with the rainout. I got a refund of face value of the tickets, and only paid $20 each for them. A nice profit of $70+.

Beautiful.

I can't believed they waited 2 hours, then rained the game out. It had almost stopped when they called it.

I'm going to try again this afternoon. I picked up a cheap pair of tix on StubHub. I figure they have to play at least 1 today. They have no more days off until the end of the year.

I was driving upstate last night in the pouring rain, Lou. I kept thinking of you getting rained out at Shea. Well, better luck today, buddy.

By the time we got from Queens to Manhattan, it wasn't even raining anymore.

Anyway, the weather today isn't supposed to be too bad, so we'll what happens.

I'd like to see a stat on the last time New York had TWO doubleheaders in the same day. Gotta be at LEAST thirty years ago.

The Mets' bullpen as a team has blown a total of 27 saves this year. The bullpen is a disgrace. They were unable to get out AAA players this weekend. The Mets don't deserve to be in the post season, but will probably make it anyway since the Brewers refuse to win a single game when CC isn't pitching.

knock, knock. We're baaaaaaaaaaaack.

You better hope the Nationals are more lowly than the Braves. Look on the bright side....You got a one game lead in the wild card race.

(I post this knowing that it will inevitably result in a losing streak for the Phillies)

I've been watching the Mets since the 70's, and even back then when they were terrible, I've never seen an entire bullpen unable to get 3 outs. There's not one single guy out there they can rely on.

The injury to Wagner is tough as it forces everyone in the pen up a peg. This is the time of year that the staffs and bullpens may get fried.

Go scratch, Counselor.

The Mets will eek out the division. The Astros will win the wild card. The Phils can commiserate with the Eagles.

There's not one single guy in that bullpen I want to see back next year.

I am officially an Eagle hater this week because they're hosting my Steelers this Sunday. Where I live, most football fans are split between the Steelers and Eagles, and a civil war brews in Harrisburg whenever they play.

As the Mets get crushed tonight by the worst team in baseball, the 2008 collapse is almost complete.

Cheer up, Lou! What are the chances it could happen two years in a row??

It's absolutely impossible that it can happen two years in a row.

Uh Oh!! Sounds like Klyd just gave YOU the jinx!!!

I'm not saying anything. Maybe the Mets will back into the playoffs via the Wildcard since the Brewers are just as bad. Then when the playoffs start, Santana, Pelfrey, and Perez will just have to go 9 innings each start.

The Mets have a team, I think, more suited to win in the playoffs than the long haul for the reasons you state (not that the starters will have to throw nine innings).

I'm thinking the loser of the NL East will take the wild card as the Breewers are as tight as a drum, and Houston's momentum was slowed by the hurricane.

Any thoughts of putting Pedro in the bullpen for the postseason, and run with a four man staff?

Random observation: The Dodgers are really getting it together at the right time and look formidable. They are the anti-Brewers as they blew by the Diamondbacks. LA has gone through several different lineups, adjusted to injuries and reinvented their team. I'd have to say that the NL Manager of the Year is Joe Torre.

No team goes with a 5 man rotation when the playoffs start. Some teams only go with 3. Pedro will most likely be in the pen.

Who is this Joe Torre guy?? He sounds like he really knows how to get the most from his players. Too bad we don't have someone like him in NY!

Oh, wait!! That's right! We DID!! We actually had HIM!! And the team made the playoffs EVERY YEAR!!

He didn't help the Mets when he was manager. They still stunk.

Oh, JL, you'll be singing a different tune when they win the division.

Maybe. I'm very aggravated right now.

Keep it up Lou, and I won't be inviting you to a playoff game.

Speaking of playoffs, I didn't get the ticket notification for the playoff tickets yet. Yesterday was the last day for registration.

I figured they would go with 4 instead of 3. What I should have asked is whether Pedro is the odd guy out.
