[Guest Edgy DC]

Listen to some Bob Ueker action.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We're in a hole.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I want to be inspired.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oooh, words between Byrdak and Fielder! Inspiration!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Sparks fly on E Street when the boy prophets walk it handsome and hot!
All the little girls' souls grow weak when the Manchild gives 'em a double-shot!

Fielder is a pussy.

[metirish]

How could I forget about Iron Ike?......

Ike who?

Really shitty performance by the Mets, but when you have only 3 credible major league regulars in the starting lineup, what do you expect to happen?

I really enjoyed Ryan Braun telling off the home plate umpire, especially as the ump had it coming, having shown up Corey Hart twice earlier in the game. When Roenicke didn't also get tossed, I took it as a sign that the ump knew the call was bad.

Fielder is a fantastic player and the Mets would do well to sign him and move Ike Davis to right field (Duda to left) but I think we all know that's not gonna happen. As for the bench-clearing incident, we're not throwing at you, moron.

Thoughts on rain delays at the park:
1. It's interesting to see how security remains moronic even at midnight with 2500 people in the park. I don't think they need to let people into the Sterling Club seats (don't worry, they won't) but guarding the first two rows behind each dugout as if people sitting there was a national security threat is idiotic. Why do you hate your fans?

2. It's easy to sneak into the Caesar's Club, and more difficult but still manageable to sneak into the Sterling and Acela clubs. But I cannot figure out a workable way to sneak into the Champions Club. Any ideas?

3. During the monsoon, security closed off the "Taste of the City" area to fans, yet you wouldn't believe the number of people who kept going up to ask if they could just pass through to get to the Shake Shack.

4. There are TONS of really nice flatscreen TVs in the Citi Field clubs and and the bars. So, during the rain delay, what do they put on them? A shot of what's on the scoreboard (ie. the rain delay message).

But on how many of the TVs in the bars/clubs is this message displayed, you ask? ALL OF THEM. Really.

They really can't be bothered to, I don't know, put the MLB Network on instead? Or perhaps pay for the Extra Innings package? Cheapskates.

So, did you have a good time?

[Frayed Knot]

You know it's not a good game when Craig Counsell is on base three times.
I think those three make it around five for him since the AS break.

Ashie, you'd been quitting on people and things like twice a week, then twice a day, now twice a thread.

Come on. Ride the serpent, man.

What, did I sound cranky or something?
