Glavine vs Schilling

Doesnt get any better than this.

Glavine is having a tremendous year, but lets see how he stacks up against a real lineup, especially while most of the Red Sox hitters are hot. Hes been shutting down pathetic lineups from the NL East. Going into Fenway while the Red Sox are on an 11 game win streak is quite another thing.

Did I mention Curt Schilling is pitching? Hes 12-5 vs the Mets all time, but this is a very good Mets team.

Fun. Hope its a better spectating event than the first 2 games were.

Should be a good game..[espn tv ].. The sox's have been smokin the ball latelly and throwing good leather down. If the brooms are out tonight the mets will have a long ride back home. Like to see Shil go about 8 innings, 10 k's, 2 er, 5 hits, 0 walks.. and pass the ball over to Pap. to close out a 5-2 sox's win..[ Dont take this to vegas and bet it ...LOL ]

This series means so little to mets fans with the yankees series this weekend. I suspect Glavine will have a solid outing. I hated Schilling when he was with the Phillies but have loved him ever since he took out the Yankees in 2000 with Arizona. Watching that blown Rivera save in game 7 that year is one of the greatest moments of my life.

Actually it was 2001 I believe and it was a great moment! Nice to see someone else finally win.

I dont think any Mets fan wants to see their team lose 3 in a row to any team, especially a high profile team like the Sox with so many people watching. 2 blowouts so far, it has to be sort of embrassing if they lose tonight. I dont care how big of a lead they have and a big reason they have such a huge lead is because the Red Sox took 9 straight off their weak division rivals the Nats, Braves and Phillies.

Yeah, it was 2001. Who cares if they lose tonight. Who cares if they get swept this weekend by the Yankees. They are going to the playoffs and then they have to produce. Nobody remembers who wins in June. The only reason they play now is to get into the playoffs. The reason they have a huge lead has zero to do with the Red Sox. Those teams lose to everyone. They division is terrible. Hate to say this, but the Red Sox are going nowhere anyway. Nobody is beating the real Sox, in Chicago. Not even the Mets, unless of course we get DW for the Marlins, which isn't going to happen. The killer to the Mets though is our guy in Tampa, who with Pelfrey would have made up the best 1-2 in baseball for a decade. Last I checked, he has done a number on the Red Sox a couple times too. If we still had Kazmir we would be a dynasty.

Last I checked Dontrelle Willis hasnt exactly been a world beater this year. I doubt very much he will put the Mets over the top.

I disagree, every Mets fan I know wants to see them win or at least be competitive against the top teams like the Red Sox and Yankees. The Mets play in the worst division in baseball and yet the Red Sox now have a better record than the Mets. There is not one team in the NL East the Mets have to play that is as good as either the Blue Jays or the Yankees. The Mets should win this division by 20 games, I agree.
