SHaMs @ Braves: 7/17 IGT

[Guest Kong76]

Now Sheff's hurt.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Sheff is done.

[ashie62]

That would end Sheffield's career as a Met

[Guest Triple Dee]

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight

Harry Crane's just found out about his wife's pregnancy. Pete seems a bit ambivalent about the idea of fatherhood... as does Harry.

With a possible influx of new blood into Sterling Cooper, nobody's job is safe...

[Piggiestomatoes]

Playing Crooked Cat at Orange County National tomorrow. Supposed to be a great course.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Quite a bit of tension between Duck and Don.

[Guest Kong76]

Are you guys speaking in code?

[Piggiestomatoes]

Welcome to the Berroa era!

[Guest Kong76]

10-sniffle through six.

Yay.

[metirish]

It's 2003 all over again, sorry but it just has that feeling to me right now

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Even though Peggy's a copywriter now, she's still struggling to establish herself in a way that none of the men in the office have to.

Meanwhile, Don Draper's struggling with being "good." You can tell.

Did I mention I'd popped in "Mad Men," Season 2?

[metirish]

Hilarious


Meanwhile I am now watching " what not to wear", thank you Mets

[Guest Kong76]

Booth reporting that Sheff just has cramps.

Wish I could leave work with cramps some days.

[Guest Kong76]

Green with a 1-2-3 8th!!!

[Guest Kong76]

That's that ... 11-sniffle.

Sniffle.

The Mets were two-hit. If the Mets had been no-hit, would have anybody noticed the difference?

I would've had to taken a sabbatical from any glowing information boxes to be able to avoid hearing about a no-no. This is easier to avoid.

Probably not , two hits , no hits....makes no difference , it's still an embrassesment

I watched sporadically and played board games with the wife after the kids went to bed. But not much to see.

I was struck by the eternal optimism of Fboy. When the Braves went up 6-0 after the McCann HR we went into the bathroom, to brush his teeth and get ready for bed. When we came back out he was excited that the Mets had gotten two outs. "They're that much closer to winning now!" is what he told me.

Gotta love that.

[metirish]

Don't tell him that the Mets suck , not yet anyway.....

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Fboy will unfortunately figure that out on his own soon enough.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The SHaBs are looking pretty good.

[metirish]

] Even Jerry Manuel admitted as much, joking afterward, "They're calling it cramps; surgery on Thursday." Laughter followed, but Manuel immediately realized he had pushed too far, adding: "I couldn't resist. Sorry, doctors."

The 2003 Mets were never as good as this team was in April.

The 2003 Mets were never as bad as this team is now. Even during that August crash. Was that 2003?

I find it hard to think of any team as bad as they are right now. Maybe the 1993 team at some point with Bogar and Orsualk and Gallagher getting lots of starts. But even they had Keff Jent and Murray and Bonilla comign up every time through the order.

[Guest Edgy DC]

August-September 2004. They lost 17 of 18 games. How did I survive that?

[metirish]

you're right you know....2003 had Reyes ...IIRC.

Yes, but it was a different Reyes. Sub-.700 OPSing, among the worst regulars in the majors...

... so, yeah, like a fast Alex Cora, IOW.
