am i alone in not getting the mlb2k8 ad with the guy wiping down the bat who uses it to whack jose reyes' jose-jose-jose-jose-jose-playing boombox, which brings jose into a laughing fit, abbreviated by the bat wiper's general sense of malice?

because i don't get it.

[Guest themetfairy]

The whole ad campaign is pretty lame, except for the Denis Leary voiceover at the end.

[Frayed Knot]

Church giving a big FU to those who think he can't hit LHPs

[Guest themetfairy]

Miller looks like he's on stilts.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oh F it

[metirish]

One former Mets fan not happy with getting Church.

[Guest KC]

The boom box ad is funny, and whacking something with a bat can't be lame.

What's to get? Some nutty guy wiping a bat and counting how many times he
does and gets distracted by the boom box and eliminates it and continues his
nutty counting of bat wipes. Reyes is equally batty and starts laughing at the
guy because the boom box ad is funny.

Not to go into game ads in the IGT but the Mohegan Sun campaign is far
lamer and actually makes me miss the Foxwood jingle if that's possible.

[Frayed Knot]

Not a good no-out send there Sandy

I don't think you'll get any major fights over that. Although the Foxwoods Leprechaun ad was pretty creepy.

Back to the game - Angel Pagan has had a hot start this year. Another RBI for him tonight makes it 4-0 Mets!

[Guest AG/DC]

Perez has bat-repellent on the ball.

The leprechaun is/was way creepy.

I think in-game ads are good fodder for in-game threads.

[Guest AG/DC]

Schneider shouldn't be in there against a lefty. It's Raul time.

[Guest AG/DC]

Matt Silverman's other book getting pumped on the Marlin broadcast.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm glad the Mets don't yet seem to have brought the rotten mood I've been in since last night into today's game. And we haven't yet been punished for another game thread mojo penalty.

I think they want The Schneid to get comfortable catching everyone before they start paying attention to his inability to hit. I kinda wanna see him sink or swim a little too.

[metirish]

Wright might never hit a home run in this park..

[Guest AG/DC]

This guy?

What dorkus from New Yorkus. Good riddence.

Yeah, I'm just glad Church got one in. Hate to see them leave town homerless.

[metirish]

Yeah that eegit, I found that guy looking for the Schneider play into the dugout...strange.

[metirish]

Beltran apparently just hit a two run homer...came of the top of the wall.

[metirish]

The umps conferred and over turned their home run call.....WOW

[Guest AG/DC]

Oh come on now.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

For serious guys?

[Guest AG/DC]

The camera shot the fan pointing to the metal rail.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

3 doubles in 3 ABs is almost better than 2 2Bs and a homer. I think he should go for 4 or 5.

Not for nothing but I was very worried that Beltran was going to be unhealthy but he looks pretty darn good.

Yeah not taking the piss here, the umps called it a two run shot and then Freddie Gonzalez complained , they conferred and called it back....still and RBI though, just not two.

[Guest AG/DC]

Craig Mitervini on the Marlincast is talking with fans. Both a Marlin fan and a Yankee fan have readily acknowledged that Beltran got jobbed.

[nymr83]

I just got home, what did i miss???

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I think Beltran is going to have a monster year.
