St. Louis Cardinals vs. NY Mets - Game 1 NLCS

Game 1 of the 2006 NLCS begins tomorrow night at 8pm eastern at Shea Stadium in Flushing Queens. Jeff Weaver starts for the Cards while veteran Tom Glavine goes for the Mets. This game should set the pace for the rest of the series. Weaver had a great outing in the NLDS, going 5 IP of shut out ball. Glavine went 6 IP with a shut out in the NLDS too. Can Weaver do it in New York? The same place where he was chased from not too long ago.

Something to look for...how the Mets pitch to Albert Pujols. Without question, they'll try and avoid him at all costs. If the Cards can force the Mets to pitch to him, it may be a long series.

Also something to look for, expect the Mets to try to work counts and in an attempt to get into the Cardinals' bullpen ASAP. It's one of the weakest points of their ball-club.

You can use this thread to make your predictions for GAME 1 as per GoTeamGo's $300 Ticket Contest.

Re: St. Louis Cardinals vs. NY Mets - Game 1 NLCS

Scott Rolen takes Glavine deep...

Beltran, Delgado, and Green have big games against Weaver...

Game goes back and forth for a while...

But the Mets eventually win 7-5...

Cool Re: St. Louis Cardinals vs. NY Mets - Game 1 NLCS

I have no rhyme or reason but I'll take the Cardinals 7-5.

Game 1 tonight has been postponed due to rain. It will be made up tomorrow evening. Friday will change from a day off to Game 2.

Re: St. Louis Cardinals vs. NY Mets - Game 1 NLCS

I would say so.

It has been raining pretty hard here in New Yo...........Antartica. Hehe

However, it seems to be letting up but I would think that the game has been postponed.

Re: St. Louis Cardinals vs. NY Mets - Game 1 NLCS

Huge win for the Mets to open up the series. With Carpenter going tomorrow night, this was a great win. Especially the way Tom Glavine shut the Cards down for 7 innings...great stuff.

Who could have guessed that Jeff Weaver would pitch a great game except for that one pitch he left over the heart of the plate and Beltran smoked it over the right field wall.

Mota had a huge 8th including getting Preston Wilson out which meant Billy Wagner could start the 9th against Pujols with the bases empty.

Mets Win Game 1 and have three more to go
