My god, Slaten looks just like John Maine. Eerie.

Hey, I've got a good idea, let's NOT bring the tying run to the plate!

My intention is to get on the road between 7 and 7:30 and get down there sometime between 12-12:30 or so. I like to let Fboy hit the kids area, bat off the tee, get a souvenir, etc. prior to game time if possible.

We've been there twice, seen the museum and so on. Though this will be our first time not in the Promenade....

Send me a PM with your cell phone # and I'll text you once we're at the field.

C'mon, Frankie. Quit tap dancing out there.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Nice infield. What a mess. Frankie, too.

[Fman99]

Put it in the books!

Went out for a run in that weather round the 7th, conditions were definitely silly.

Tuned over to this one after the Mets won. MFYs only run came as a result of an error after having picked off Gayrod. Mariano blew it but O's wasted a gold opp in the 10th when Lukke Retard Scott whiffed with 1st & 3rd, 1 out.

Loaded them in the 12th now but can't score.

Sterling for some reason is doing this game solo, no Suzyn, be funny if it goes 20.

Markakis totally fucked that up....

We had tickets for this, but-- with baby in tow-- decided at the last minute to back out.

I'm all right with that. If I'm Reyes-- or anyone-- tomorrow, I'm bunting until they start playing in on the grass.

Just be happy Wilson Ramos is batting fourth for the Nats (and whiffs to end the inning as I type this). Evans. Even Paulino or Hairy in the BA.

Yeah, my mind was strangely Evans-free.

Right? I thought the same thing....in fact I thought it was John Maine until someone pointed out that Maine isn't a lefty.



Two goofy looking MoFos...
