[Mr Crunchy]

derek lowe......

a post season hero

 

if he wins game 1 the mets are f***ed

however

hes going against another october legend

 

these are the 2 best teams in the nl i feel

 

i like the dodgers here in a psuedo upset

no petey,an aging glavine and the trachsel maine questions just may be the undoing of the kings of queens

[CrespoBlows]

Dodgers in 5.

[elsrbueno]

Dodgers in 5.

 

I'll take the Mets in 5, what the heck. El Duque's dominant in the playoffs, Glavine's decent, and they've got a potent offense.

 

I like the Dodgers' team and think they've got a shot. This should be a good series.

[RedRuffing15]

Dodgers in 3, possibly 4.

 

I expect them all to be very close..like 3-2;7-5 type wins, but the Dodgers pull them all.

[Cocos Disciples]

Dodgers in 5.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Dodgers in five, seeing as the Mets are without Pedro.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Mets in 5.

[Ray10]

Mets in 5 games.

[riverside sluggers]

Orlando Hernandez hurt his calf while running today, he is schedule to undergo an MRI. Its looking bleak he will be the game 1 starter today at 4

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

If El Duque is out then Dodgers in 4 games. The Mets might actually have to pitch someone like Dave Williams or Oliver Perez in game 4.

[jsinger121]

Orlando Hernandez hurt his calf while running today' date=' he is schedule to undergo an MRI. Its looking bleak he will be the game 1 starter today at 4[/quote']

 

The mets play wednesday not today

[Mr Crunchy]

that game is tommorow

st louis and the pads are the 4pm game

[Mr Crunchy]

want some gaudy #s from the duke of havana??

 

El Duque is 9-3 with a 2.55 ERA in 19 career postseason games, including 14 starts, mostly with the Yankees. He also owns four World Series rings, and his teams are 12-3 in postseason series.

[MANNYHOF24]

Why isnt Maddux starting game two or three, rest? I was excpecting a classic Glavine vs. Maddux matchup

[jsinger121]

The Dodgers are using a rookie lefty because the Mets struggle against lefties.

[MANNYHOF24]

thanks, I will be rooting for Nomar, D-Lowe and the rest of the Dodgers through out the playoffs

 

Dodgers in 4 ( the mets have no pitching)

[seabeachfred]

Dodgers in five' date=' seeing as the Mets are without Pedro.[/quote']

 

I'm a little more emotionally attached to this series than most of you are. Up until 2001 I rooted predominantly for the Mets, though not with the fervor of my love for the Red Sox. I went to Fenway in 2000 and hooked right then and there. This year for the first time since the Dodgers left Brooklyn I made the leap to root for them in the other league, and I have really gotten into it. I would love nothing better for the Dodgers to win two NL Playoffs, take on the Yankees in the WS and kick the living hell out of them. :D :D

[jsinger121]

El Duque has a torn calf muscle. he is off the postseason roster. the mets are in serious trouble right now.

Mets come storming back in the 4th with solo shots by Delgado and Floyd. 2-1.

[RedSoxRooter]

I blame Joe Morgan for the dumbest baserunning I've seen in a while.
