Neo Workxx » eight years ago - a year after their drought-breaking 2007

The way Harry Taylor sees it, the fact he still gets nervous in the buildup to big AFL matches is a good thing.If and when that stops happening, it will likely be time for the Geelong backman to give it away.Friday nights preliminary final against Sydney will be Taylors 20th playoff match in the blue and white hoops.Only 10 Geelong players have participated in more finals, a select group that includes current teammates Jimmy Bartel, Corey Enright, Andrew Mackie and Joel Selwood.The 30-year-old Taylor debuted for the Cats eight years ago - a year after their drought-breaking 2007 flag - before going on to become a a key member of the 2009 and 2011 premiership teams.But he is no danger of ever becoming blase about the September action.I still get nervous before games, he said on Monday.I spoke a bit earlier in the year about nerves, about how it can be a good thing.Nerves are a sign that youre going to care about what youre going to be doing, theyre a sign that youre passionate about what youre going to be doing.I still get that nervous feeling.The day when I dont get nervous is probably the day when I ask myself if this is what I should be doing.I love the footy club, I love playing in big games and this is the best time of year to be alive and be a Geelong footy player.

NEW YORK -- A lot has changed for Arizona pitcher Zack Greinke and the New York Mets since they last saw one another. Greinke will do his best Tuesday night to send the Mets another step closer to joining his Diamondbacks in playing out the string on Tuesday night.Greinke is scheduled to come off the disabled list and start against the Mets in the opener of a three-game series at Citi Field on Tuesday.It will be the first time Greinke faces the Mets since last Oct. 15, when he allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings and took the loss as the Mets edged the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 in the decisive Game 5 of the National League Division Series.Greinke made one of the most surprising decisions of the off-season six weeks later, when he signed a six-year deal with the Diamondbacks worth $206 million instead of returning to the Dodgers, for whom he had formed a lethal 1-2 punch atop the rotation with left-hander Clayton Kershaw.The decision has not worked out as anticipated for either the Diamondbacks or Greinke. Arizona expected to challenge the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants for the NL West crown but entered Monday with a 45-66 record, tied for the second-worst mark in the majors.Greinke is a robust 10-3, but his ERA of 3.62 is more than twice as high as the 1.66 ERA he fashioned last year. He appeared to be rounding into peak form in June, when he posted a 1.63 ERA in six sttarts before suffering a left oblique injury on June 28.dddddddddddd He said he felt fine in a rehab start for Triple-A Reno last Wednesday, when he gave up five runs over five innings and hoped the poor results werent a harbinger of things to come in the majors.Theyve always been really bad outings for me, Greinke said, referring to previous rehab stints. And then I always do bad once I get back to the big leagues, too. Hopefully that part will change.The defending NL champion Mets will be looking for some change themselves. New York (54-51) has not won two straight games since July 6-7 yet finished play Sunday just two games behind the Miami Marlins in the race for the NLs second wild-card spot.Weve got to start winning some games, said Mets outfielder Michael Conforto, who homered in Sundays 3-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. I think we know were going to get hot here sometime soon. So there is that urgency.Left-hander Steven Matz is scheduled to take the mound for the Mets against Greinke. Matz took the loss in his most recent start last Wednesday, when he gave up six runs over six innings as the Mets fell to the New York Yankees 9-5 at Yankee Stadium. The loss dropped Matz to 1-7 in his last 12 starts, a stretch in which he has a 4.54 ERA. ' ' '
