not gonna happen with a catcher's mitt, sorry arod.

Scary.

YES! Somewherelse I read based on our future game rep that it looked like black/blue hat with black tops. THANKFULLY the proper pinstriped/blue hat attire is being worn. I'm guessing it has been a while since a Met has graced the ASG with pinstripes

[stevejrogers]

Did Jorge have his Mini-Me with him in the intros?

[Frayed Knot]

No, but Victor Martinez did.
I guess it's an American League starting catcher thing.

[stevejrogers]

Well did Victor's Mini-Me go through life threating illness to the point where Victor created a foundation in his son's honor? Hmmmm?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

What was with that half-inning long rationalization for using steroids?

Horrible

[Zvon]

O M G !

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Like I said earlier, Ichiro is a lock for the AS MVP ...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Bleeping Inchiro.

[seawolf17]

Dude can fly. That's why they call him the "Japanese Jose Reyes."

[stevejrogers]

Here is the truely funny part, and probably tells you all you need to know about how the ASG is treated, FOX ALMOST missed that because they have Eric Byrnes out there in McCovey Cove with his dog swimming the wrong way and his boat springing a leak.

[metsmarathon]

i think it was his ball that was sinking...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Reyes is a MONSTER!!!

[stevejrogers]

Besides the point mm. But actually if they tried to ever use that call in any sort of highlight package of ASG moments, they actually would have to edit out that non-sequitor as Byrnes was saying that JUST as Young delivered the pitch pretty much. Or at the very least it was where usually you'd hear the start of the highlight "Here is the pitch..."

Thwack!

I kinda like Eric Byrnes. He's the David Lee Roth of baseball.

I also like that Miller High-Life commercial. Very funny.

I like Jose Reyes too

[Zvon]

I cant belive what I just saw! 8-O


(took me awhile to find the pic :s)

Yeah but that wasn't Burkhardt coming in during a break in the action and breaking back for about 5 seconds, this was something while the action was very much going on

Heck, FOX showed some restraint. Usually you'd have the cast of "The Bernie Mac Show" out there sharing a kayak before moving into seats in the front row, where they would be pointed out by Buck - but it's not an ad.

Then they'd be shooed out for the cast of "House."

JD: >>>I also like that Miller High-Life commercial. Very funny<<<

I just went searching for the commercial thread and saw the last post was
from like May and decided not to drag it up. Very funny and clever ad.

[Zvon]

Carp on a carpcicle

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

He puts the belt in Beltran

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

BELTRAN!!!!!!

And the beauty of it was that he blasted that as Bleeping McCarver was recounting the Wainwright strikeout.

Wright will bring him in. (Is what I meant to say)

[Zvon]

Just imagine this is Beltran in pic please

[nymr83]

yay the obligatory "captain clutch interview". i'm gonna puke.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Reyes remains in the game -- setting him up for some more drama!

[Frayed Knot]

Typical Wagner, can't thrive in a big game.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

So much for home field advantage.

[Frayed Knot]

I thought I was kidding.

[stevejrogers]

Billy and Latin American backstops... UGH!
