Have to say just 1 thing about this game and series: If David Wright does not hit to protect Carlos Delgado we will be done in 5 games! Wright needs to step it up tomorrow night and get some hits if the Mets are to advance in this NLCS series! Mets just looked dead all night. No emotion. Yesterday's 9-6 loss really messed with their heads! Couldnt catch 2 fly balls both hit by Scott Spezio for triples. Shawn Green should have caught that ball last night in the Mets 9-6 loss at Shea. Mets should be up 2-1 instead of down 2- 1. Still have faith we can do this but we need to get more than just 3 hits in a game!

The quintiscential choke game on the part of Steve Trachsel. He gave them nothing when they needed something badly, and he ran off the mound with an "injury" after he gave up 5 quick runs. At that moment, the Mets ceased even considered re-signing him in the off-season.

Never would I have imagined that the Mets offense would get shut-out by Suppan, who was having a rough 2006 season.
Also, Suppan hit a home run off Trachsel in this game
Suppan in his career has two career home runs, both against the Mets, both in St. Louis, both against Steve Trachsel (September 2005, October 2006 NLCS game 3)
Darren Oliver actually pitched very nicely out of the bullpen in this game 3, that he was considered to start game 7 instead of Trachsel (but the Mets went with Oliver Perez)
Now it's your turn! Tell us what you remember of this game:
Please note:
We're looking for your comments about this specific
game. We've had people use this space to share their thoughts on how the
current season is going, or on ways that the Mets can improve the team.
Such comments, unless in the context of
this particular game,
will be considered off-topic and will be removed.
Example One
The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like
Jones.
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with
any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:
Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith
and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in
the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and
we would let it remain.
We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our
site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take
steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate
Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments,
and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.
Thank you!
