NLCS Game 5: What, Me Nervous? [J. Mark English]

From the Movie Airplane (1980):

[as the plane prepares to take off]
Hanging Lady: Nervous?
Ted Striker: Yes.
Hanging Lady: First time?
Ted Striker: No, I've been nervous lots of times.

----------------------------------------------------

Thats how I feel heading into tonight's Met game. VERY NERVOUS. Would everyone please stop mentioning just how many frickin' innings in a row Tom Glavine has done this or that!

Is Jeff Weaver going to throw a perfect game tonight? Would you really be surprised if he did?

With all the scoring on Sunday, are the Mets about to face the prospect of diminishing returns?

I AM SO NERVOUS.

So c'mon Mets, please score early and often so that we can move on to the next level of anxiety!
