Mets are playing the AL East in late September. Wow.



There can be some MFY satisfaction if the Red Sox take this series.

This nonsense will continue next year as the Mets play Oakland September 23-25, 2022.



You're right. Here are the AL WC Standings:

So while we want the Mets to win, if the Mets lose it's not all bad.

[kcmets]

What's the Dropkick's non-mention (but mentioned) thing about?

It was Daniel Murphy's AB music and is used in almost every movie set in Boston. It's a terrific song.

[Willets Point]

The words to "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" were written by Woody Guthrie while he was living on Mermaid Avenue on Coney Island, so it all circles back to New York.

[kcmets]

Ah, I mean, I know the band and the song just didn't get the thread-sub reference.



Nevermind lol...

I did not know that! Thank you.

Wasn't being critical, just inquiring. I echo your hopes for you having a Wed IGT.

It's one of those weird things that surprises just about everyone, but I think it's pretty cool.

I think "I Will Not Mention The Dropkick Murphys" was in the original draft of my wedding vows.

[bmfc1]

MMO did it:

[Ceetar]

of course they did. they probably think they're original with it too.

[kcmets]

MMO would be a much more pleasant place to visit if they'd ditch the ads.

I got a Jeep pop-up-ad window that froze my laptop for a good minute

before it finally loaded. There's banner ads on top. Then a small one on

the bottom that you can close -- but it's a fucking mess and not fun.

Wow, a Dom Smith appearance. All it took was a trip to the 10-man league.



First start for him since September 9, when he whiffed three times in four trips. His last nine appearances have been as a pinch-hitter (nicely going 3-8 with a walk, 2 doubles, and 3 RBI).

[ashie62]

Sox look like banana taffy on a stick.

I understand the unis and the message... but if you're going to have interleague play, which creates the opportunities for fans to see different teams, then the interleague opponent should wear their normal uniforms.

[Willets Point]

The NESN reporter in the stands with the 7 Train Army says that Mets fans are "much nicer than Yankees fans."

[Willets Point]

Sweet DP!

Way to lay off, Alonso.

[Willets Point]

The Mets are facing the deadly Bases Loaded With No Outs Challenge.

I remember a waitress in Baltimore telling my group the same thing during the very first year of inter league play.



OTOH, the NESN guy is probably contractually obligated to say what he said.

[Edgy MD]

JD finally got a strike.

And with JDD up too. The king of the bases loaded K

[Fman99]

These unis are daffy

[Edgy MD]

This guy is way too cute with his pitches.
