It's possible. Pavano is going tonight and he just owns Detroit. That would put them only a game back. So anything could happen really.

When is Pavano going to hurt himself?

Game #163...I'm loving this (since my Mets have been out of the hunt since June).

MedicCook · 10-05-2009, 09:52 AM

Because of MNF the game can not be played tonight since the Twins are the home team for the game. Tuesday at 5pm they will play the tie-breaker.

Arod. 2 HR/7RBI/2R in one inning.
Unreal.

Know what else, Scott? When A-Rod came back this year after his surgery, he hit the very first pitch he saw for a HR - yesterday he hit the very last pitch he saw for a grand slam.

Well, it beats choking in September - or even June, you Met fan.

Thing is, regardless of how great his regular season numbers are, if he continues to fail in the post season, he will always have the mantra of choke artist

After missing the first month of the season, he also went 30/100 for what, his 14th year in a row?
I'm by no means a Yankees fan, or even an Arod fan, but talent is talent.
Bonds always choked in the playoffs, too.

A-Rod also set an AL record for most RBIs in 1 inning and yes he continued his record for 14 straight 30/100 seasons. I personally hate A-Rod but he is still a great player, even without the juice.

Did anyone watch SNL Saturday? THey had a great A-Rod joke.

"Rumor has it that A-Rod & girlfriend Kate Hudson are pregnant. This will mark the first time that A-Rod has produced in October."

Nice.

Funny, Chris - as a local guy who's listened to the fans and The Fan for decades now, all that seems vaguely familiar. I heard this last year re the Mets. I heard this the year before re the Mets. I heard this the year before that re the Mets. I've heard this nearly every year, and the only thing that's changed has been the names. I won't say the organization hasn't been trying - they've just not had a great deal of success.
