As far as most hyped/exciting games we have seen so far this year, I would have to say the wild card scene with Pirates-Cubs was the most amazing atmosphere. Pirates crowd was bananas, even though Arrieta silenced them by the time it was all over.
But tomorrow at Citifield, 100 different things can go down, and the anticipation is already at a maximum for this game. New York is livid, and the crowd is going to be like no other from the get-go, with Utley most likely getting his first at-bat in the opening inning.
If I was Terry Collins, I would grab my balls for once in my fkn life, and let Robles start this game and just tell him to let one fly as hard as he can wherever he feels like throwing it at Mr. Utley, 100mph and if he happens to head-hunt, so be it. Utley is a repeat offender with his bullshit slides, and this time it went too far.
Then bring the little bitch Harvey in after that.
Harvey just made the biggest pussy move ever just a couple hours ago, it's no surprise, as he's become the homo of the team pretty much. He has a long way to go to get his respect back after his Boras-innings limit fiasco last month, so this is interesting for him as he's the guy on the rubber immediately after the incident.
Basically Harvey promises to go right at Utley, in turn forcing the umpires to issue warnings before the first pitch of the game, which was most likely a given but now solidifies it and keeps Harvey from having to do the job.

The series is tied at 1-1.
It's the playoffs and already the BIGGEST game of the year obviously for both teams.
But for all you uneducated baseball fans who don't think this shit is going down because of these circumstances, you are mistaken.
Utley is getting drilled, possibly more than once, and the circumstances of the game may not even factor into it.
Both teams are definitely going to be eager for the start of this game, and with a day off to think about it, anything could happen.
Could the Mets send Harvey out there (Have Matz warming up), let him drill Utley himself, then have him start game 4?
Collins definitely is the bitch-type manager, but even he was upset for the first time ever since becoming a manager.
Normally, he wouldn't be capable of condoning this or instructing what the plan is, and let the players do it on their own, but there's no way hes not trying to think of the best way to do it. He has to instruct on this one and give his input for a game of this magnitude.
Could Utley tell his teammates to not come out of the dugout after being drilled, and take it like a man since he knows he deserves it?
And the 100-1 shot- Does Utley NOT get hit in this game? Virtually impossible, unless the guy throwing at him misses, but even so, it will still happen at some point.
All 8 teams in action tomorrow (If jays series isn't over), it's going to be an awesome day of baseball!!!
Anyone see any sportsbooks posting Utley odds of getting drilled his first at-bat?
Mets fans are going to pumped up even more than they possibly could have going into tomorrow, as it's the Mets first playoff game at home in 9 years.
POP-CORN
And oh yeah as for the game.........
Edit: So Utley was literally suspended for games 3 & 4 seconds before I posted this lol. That suckssss!!
LETS HIM PLAY!!! LETS HIM PLAY!!!!!!
I guess now the question becomes, do you bean Gonzalez?
