With a rainout last night, we fans get to recharge a bit after three hectic days. Lot's of questions as we go into game 5 this evening, covering all sports in NY.
1. Can Glavine pitch as well as he did the last time out, given that the Cards have seen his stuff recently?
2. Can Jeff Weaver do the same?
3. Is David Wright waking up?
4. Why does Scott Spiezio have a "happy trail" on his chin?
5. Will Steve Trachsel even get a contract offer this offseason?
6. Who the hell is Jeff Brantley to call out Trax? A career 43-46 with a 3.39 ERA and 1.3 WHIP. I could care less that he won the Rolaids award. He won it once, and was mediocre the rest of his career.
7. Steve Lyons - idiot.
8. Miami football - awful weekend for both pro teams.
9. Why the hell are St. Louis fans imitating Spiezio's happy trail? Do they really think it looks good?
10. Who will pitch game 7 for the Mets.
11. Whatever happened to "King Henrik"?
12. For that matter, whatever happened to Rick DiPietro? Oh Rick, better heal fast, Dunham is outplaying your ass.
13. Can Curtis Martin come back and make a difference for the Jets?
14. Did the Yankees play yesterday? Golf I mean.
15. Good luck in Chicago Sweet Lou. You'll need it.
16. Has the real Alexei Yashin finally shown up?
17. Seriously, what the hell is that on Spiezio's chin?
18. Why is it the Mets get victimized by the likes of Eckstein, Suppan and Taguchi?
19. Can the Mets get a Kirk Gibson moment from Uncle Cliffy?
20. Who replaces Trax in the rotation if the Mets make the World Series?
21. Let me get this straight, some people got on Met fans for leaving Friday night after Billy gave up 3 runs, but no one says boo about the "Best fans in Baseball" clearing out in the 6th on Sunday?
22. Fun Fact - the spell check on Blogger gives "tragically" as the alternative to Trachsel.
Big game tonight. If the Mets can win, a huge amount of momentum going into Shea tomorrow. The fans, already pumped for the postseason will be in full throat. No silly bats to slam against each other to make noise. We do it with our voices, hands (and the occasional Jet overhead).
As loud as Shea has been in the past, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Oh, and if you happen to be at Game 6, please refrain form booing the boys. It ain't like they are losing on purpose. Yes, Wags blew it, but it happens. All the great ones do it. It was his turn. That being said, no more Billy, OK? Thanks.

Ed-
My unsolicited answers to (some of) your Deep Thoughts:
1. Can Glavine pitch as well as he did the last time out, given that the Cards have seen his stuff recently?
Depends on the ump's strikezone.
4. Why does Scott Spiezio have a "happy trail" on his chin?
He and his lady tried to have fun with pink dye and some Krazy Glue. Went horribly awry, obviously.
7. Steve Lyons - idiot.
I don't think he meant anything racial. I think he tried to string two (not terribly funny) riffs together, and got stuck with unintended results.
I'd rather they fire Brenneman, for being a tool. I hate him.
10. Who will pitch game 7 for the Mets.
Darren Oliver Perez.
11. Whatever happened to "King Henrik"?
He's in the pen for game 7.
12. For that matter, whatever happened to Rick DiPietro?
He's angling for that promotion to GM.
19. Can the Mets get a Kirk Gibson moment from Uncle Cliffy?
Why not? But here's hoping they don't need it. I want back-to-back Met blowout wins.
Mike - I always value input from the commentors.
Think of game 7, a mix of DO and OP gets you - Oliver/Perez.
Never have the words, Game Seven, If Necessary carried more resonance.
