In "Rocky 6" he played a guy who was retarded AND apparently melting.

So, you know, added degree of difficulty, there-- like trying to dig yourselves out of a 10-game hole when your team has 11 on the DL... AND Jerry Manuel at the helm.

In Rocky 5 he actually did have brain damage, as I recall. It started with him feeling the aftereffects of Ivan Drago beating on his skull.

So, wait, he wasn't brain-damaged when he refused to throw in the towel because of a promise he made to his friend in the heat of the moment-- a friend who was likely hemorrhaging cerebrally at that point-- during an exhibition match Apollo shouldn't have accepted in the first place?

You know, in retrospect, he really kinda deserved the self-loathing.

Call me a pussy if you want, but I actually got a bit teary eyed watching the end of the fight sequence in Rocky Balboa. The end of an era. Watched that first Rocky film in 3rd freaking grade. Still remember acting out the parts with my friends on the playground.

ughh, women. the next offday is in 2 weeks, hold it in!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Drago will miss tomorrow's game because his wife is crushing a tractor, so...

Day/Night DH tomorrow. Better get a 2B from somewhere so Berroa doesn't have to play twice.

Oh for fucks sake, which game is which now?

[Valadius]

Hell, move Murphy to 2nd for a game.

[bmfc1]

Santana @12 and Neise at @7

[Frayed Knot]

Gotta figure that original Thursday ticket-holders go to the noon game and Wednesday rain-checks get the night-cap.

[Valadius]

I really wish they'd bring back scheduled double-headers.

[bmfc1]

The Mets are going to hold a press conference for the rainout. Omar will blame it on Al Roker.

[Valadius]

No, I think Omar would blame this guy:

Its supposed to rain for the rest of the week.
If the Rockie are still in the hunt, the Mets will be playing meaningful games in October.

Later

Man, Clubber's prediction was off by one letter.

Needing JCL to start the 7/30/09.01 IGT thread...

[nymr83]

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This thread is too good to retire. Edited title it is!

[Fman99]

As per Kevin Burkhart on Twitter, today's game 1 lineup

Pagan
Cora 2b
Wright
Murphy
Francoeur
Sullivan
Santos
Berroa ss

[Frayed Knot]

And the words most met fans never thought they'd utter this season ...
"Oh no we're without Luis Castillo"!!

[bmfc1]

Robinson Cancel up, Elmer Dessens, DFA'd. Schneider is having knee issues.

[metirish]

From the Mets blog at the Daily News( not with Rubin btw)

Luis Castillo's wife is scheduled to give birth today, so he is not in the lineup for Game 1, but apparently would be available later in the opener. I would think he'd start at second in Game 2.

Um , here's hoping for a quick delivery

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

She's to be induced or whatever or a schedule. Actually his daughter oughta be here by now.

Depends, don't it? Is that doctor yanking... with two hands?
