[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Rally here in the 8th:

]It’s good to be king, if just for a while To be there in velvet, yeah, to give ‘em a smile It’s good to get high and never come down It’s good to be king of your own little town Yeah, the world would swing if I were king Can I help it if I still dream time to time It’s good to be king and have your own way Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings You’re out there with winners, it’s good to be king Yeah I’ll be king when dogs get wings Can I help it if I still dream time to time It’s good to be king and have your own world It helps to make friends, it’s good to meet girls A sweet little queen who can’t run away It’s good to be king, whatever it pays Excuse me if I have some place in my mind Where I go time to time

MLB Radio must be really far behind. The Mets haven't even come to bat as far as I can hear. Good to know I have a rally to look forward to on this bleak night.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mr. Met is broke.

[Zvon]

What a lethargic 8th.

[Willets Point]

Dickshot lied to me.

[Willets Point]

The silver lining tonight is that Zvon is back after a long absence. Welcome back Z!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

This is all the cats fault.

Thank you.
I wish I could attend the board more these days.
This will always be my Met homepark.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Geddy, I need you.

Sprawling on the fringes of the city

In geometric order

An insulated border

In between the bright lights

And the far unlit unknown

Growing up it all seems so one-sided

Opinions all provided

The future pre-decided

Detached and subdivided

In the mass production zone

Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone

Subdivisions

In the high school halls

In the shopping malls

Conform or be cast out

Subdivisions

In the basement bars

In the backs of cars

Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths we drift into the city

The timeless old attraction

Cruising for the action

Lit up like a firefly

Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires

Or lose the race to rats

Get caught in ticking traps

And start to dream of somewhere

To relax their restless flight

Somewhere out of a memory of lighted streets on quiet nights...

Subdivisions

In the high school halls

In the shopping malls

Conform or be cast out

Subdivisions

In the basement bars

In the backs of cars

Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth

Let's make Rivera throw about a million-teen pitches this inning and fuck him up for the Boston series.

[metirish]

That cat was cool...I had a bad feeling after watching that funky pitching motion that Clippard was trouble....

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Two outs.

We need Scutar-Power.

[Zvon]

[Willets Point]

Too little too late homer from Easley.

[Frayed Knot]

Not going down so Easley

[metirish]

Making Rivera work tonight,great AB by Easley.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Easley does it again. That will give Rivera something to think about in Boston.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Twenty-three pitches by Rivera also.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Franco's going to be 50 by the time he gets that bat through the zone.

Should've mentioned that Scutar-Power only applies to second basemen.

[Willets Point]

Should we put Easley on notice for swinging for the fences when the teams five runs down?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Two Out of Three Ain't Bad

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here

And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears

And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way
I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby
In a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding
At the bottom of a Cracker Jack box

I can't lie
I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not
No matter how I try
I'll never be able to give you something
Something that I just haven't got

There's only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back, ooh I know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her
Not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away

And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kep on telling me
I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way
I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere

I don't think he was. Just a nice swing dat's all.

[Zvon]

agreed Doc.

Aint bad at all.
And Atl lost.

But I just had a horrible night fantasy baseball wise here_
Maines one of my starters, Rivera one of my closers.
Got bad stuff from both.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Eh. I'm dissatisfied.

Nice win Friday but the offense didn't really show up. Yesterday we got off to a huge lead only to see 'em ruin thousands of perfectly good Fruit of the Looms. Tonighht we got neither pitching nor hitting.

Just attempting some humor by referencing an old thread (which must have been on EZBoard because I can't find it).

Short story: Mets down by 5 at the Phillies and Cliff Floyd hits a three-run homer. Most of us are like "Yay Mets" but one cranky dude put Floyd on notice for killing the rally.

that might have been me, if so it wasnt "killing the rally" that i was killing him for, it was swinging at a 3-0 pitch inthe 9th inning when he couldnt even tie the game.

[Gwreck]

Decided yesterday to go tonight -- last game of the homestand, chance for the sweep -- oops.

The three critical moments -- in increasing order of importance -- in the game:

3. Reyes striking out looking in the 7th with 2nd and 3rd. Last/best chance to get back in the game.

2. Reys flying out in the 2nd with bases loaded. We shoulda touched up Clippard for about 4 runs that inning.

1. Maine walks Mientkiewicz on FOUR PITCHES with one out in the top of the 4th. Sorry, but you have to throw Mientkiewicz a fucking strike in that situation. He makes an out, you've got the pitcher due up next and you can get out of the inning. No excuse there.

7-3 homestand is good, considering that we'd basically been .500 at home previously.

Misc.
The Yankees did not "retake" New York with a win tonight. That's just silly.

Assuming (and that's a very big assumption) that the Yankees rebound this year and make the playoffs, tonight will not be the turning point. That's somewhere far beyond silly.

[nymr83]

the homestand and the series went well. i agree that walking Ordon...i mean mientkiewicz on 4 pitches is atrocious.
