IGT August 3 Mets Marlins STOP THE INSANITY

[Fman99]

I had a nice little run last week, let's hope that lightning can strike twice.

Fuck these guys - I'm going to the movies tonight!

You know it's bad when metfairy starts dropping the F-bomb.

Alert protective services -- continued exposure to Jason Bay constitutes child abuse.

[Frayed Knot]

Just tuned in to see them going to a commercial with the tarp on.
What's the estimate on starting time?

[Fman99]

Rain delays blow.

The fun begins at 7:55.

As if metfairy ditching the Mets for a movie wasn't indication enough...

[Gwreck]

Rained out, per Justin Turner twitter.

No makeup date (though I contend "Makeup Date" would be a fine name for a dismal romantic comedy).

[G-Fafif]

I was enjoying the impromptu Mets Yearbook marathon anyway.

Marlins are here for 4 games at the end of the month. Although I wonder if this is just one of those games that they only makeup at the end of the year if absolutely necessary for playoff purposes.

One thing about the Selig era is that he tries like the Dickens to get every reg season game in whether it matters in playoff seedings or not -- so I'd be surprised if they simply wrote the game off with two months still to go.

I picked the right night to go to the movies.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets needed this, I think.

I suppose a doubleheader on one of those 4 dates at the end of August is the most likely scenario.

The Mets and Marlins also have a mutual off day on September 8 but that's immediately following a 3 game series between the two teams in Miami. I would have to re-read the CBA but I'm not sure they can play a makeup game after the regular season is over unless it is potentially playoff-determinative.

Did not rain here..weird..

[Ceetar]

Fman manages to keep the Mets from losing at least.

Do I owe the bank on this one?

I'm sure he was playing MLB: The Show in the clubhouse last night. We'll let it pass.
