The McGimpy does most things upside down: eats, sleeps (an average of 23 hours per day), mates, and gives birth. Because of the McGimpy's upside down life, many of the McGimpy's internal organs (liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas) are in different positions from other mammals. McGimpy sometimes lets out a cry or hissing sound.

During the rare times the McGimpy goes down to the ground (such as to change trees for food), it moves very slowly.

Today is the most import start of Glavine's NY Met Career, and hopefully I will be typing the same thing over and over again each day during the next few weeks about every other pitcher on this team.

Going to need to watch this game in a straight jacket.

Here's hoping that Tommy takes out her tampon and comes out looking like --

I've got to go buy a piece of plexiglass to protect my wide-screen TV. Things will inevetibably be thrown at the TV. I also stocked up on some plaster so that I patch up any holes that are punched in the wall.

Maybe a straight jacket is a cheaper solution.

What if you start to headbutt everything instead? How much damage can your head do to the TV and the walls? How much damage can the TV and walls do to your head?

So, is this what they call a "must win" game?


Let's Go Mets!!!

Let's Go Nats!!!!!!!

NickPapagiorgio

It isn't really must win if you are going to use the definition used by people on here all year. We technically still don't face mathematical elimination so no worries. Made it through the whole year without a must win game.

Let's go BREWERS too.

I hate to say it, but I'd like them to have two shots into the playoffs rather than just the one.

Remember - in a 3way tie, the loser of Mets/Phils Mon plays San Diego Tues for the Wild Card berth.

With the way the Mets play on the road versus at home, maybe......

Saturday day fights at Shea

When did Reyes know Olivo wasn't kidding? When he saw the Marlins' catcher running at him with fists of fury in what would become the second -- and most serious -- bench-clearing incident in the fifth inning of the Mets' 13-0 win over the Marlins.

"I thought he was kidding because he's a good friend of mine," Reyes said.

Reyes was protected by 63-year-old third-base coach Sandy Alomar and Marlins third baseman Miguel Cabrera. Olivo threw a punch that Alomar deflected as the benches and bullpens emptied.

"I've known him for a long time," Reyes said of Olivo, a fellow Dominican. "Before the game we talk and when I go to home plate we talk, too. I don't know what happened. He's kind of crazy sometimes. He tries to be kind of tough."

Olivo, who was the only person ejected, had a different take, saying Reyes was talking trash from third base.

"When I went to the mound, I see Reyes talking -- -- ," he said. "He told me he wanted to fight. I said OK."

The first bench-clearing incident began when Marlins rookie reliever Harvey Garcia threw a pitch low and inside to Luis Castillo and then another behind him in apparent retaliation for a close pitch from John Maine to Hanley Ramirez.

An inning earlier, Maine hit Ramirez on the left hand (even though plate umpire CB Buck.nor ruled it a foul ball); Ramirez had to leave the game with a bruise after striking out.

Castillo, after feeling the second pitch whiz behind him, started toward the mound with his palms outstretched, jawing at Garcia, as Olivo and David Wright traded shoves and Mets pitching coach Rick Peterson yelled at the Marlins' braintrust.

The benches and bullpens emptied and the players milled around the home-plate area, but no punches were thrown and no one was ejected. Reyes even clowned around with a Marlin in the middle of the scrum.

Peterson, though, was hot. The usually mild-mannered and low-talking coach said he was ticked at the Marlins for throwing near Castillo's injured knees.

"I thought it was irresponsible," he said. "At this time of year, when you're playing a club who's really just out there trying to take us out, you can't be putting players' at risk. A guy's got a bad knee and you're throwing two pitches at his kneecaps. I was really addressing their manager and their staff. I wasn't talking to Olivo at all."

Ah, but Olivo later talked to Reyes, and vice versa. After Castillo walked, Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez came out to remove Garcia. It was during this break that Olivo charged third base, which may be a first in baseball history.

"When they threw the ball behind Castillo, he was saying to me, 'I'm going to throw to third base and I'm going to hit you,' " Reyes said. "I thought he was kidding because he's a good friend of mine. When he went to the mound, he said, 'You want to fight?' I said, 'Yes.' I think he's kidding. I said, 'OK, let's fight.' "

Alomar stepped into fair territory and held his ground as the 29-year-old Olivo came at him.

"I was thinking, 'Protect Jose,"' he said. "I was going to protect that guy."

This time the melee was more heated, as Mets players Oliver Perez and Mike DiFelice did more than the usual pushing and shoving. DiFelice had to be held back by four Marlins. But order eventually was restored.

The game continued without Olivo, but that didn't turn out so well for the Mets. His replacement, Paul Hoover, ended John Maine's no-hit bid in the eighth.

AGAIN a$$hole, as I told you at the time a must win is defined as a game so important that it's difficult to see the team recovering if they lose. Sorry, games in August with a 3 game lead did not fit that criteria. I'm curious where (and who) these people you're talking about are.

Speaking to Mets and Nats: I just wanted to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.
