IGT: 4/8/2012, Braves @ Mets, Game Three

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm glad it didn't get to that. Nationals lost, so we are all alone in 1st. Also, Philadelphia lost, Mfys lost. What a weekend.

Other years in which Mets started 3-0 and MFYs started 0-3: 1973, 1985.

Pretty good years those.

[Fman99]

I am wildly optimistic.

[Frayed Knot]

I am optimistically wild.

Did Baxter get used today? Wondering why TC left Duda out to roam right in the 9th w/ a 2-run lead? Seemed a pretty risky play given the events of the day and all.

For those who go...Do the fans still do Lets Go Mets! or did that stop at Shea?

You still hear the Let's Go Mets chant from time to time.

I guess you can watch an Iphone and yell at the same time.

I still miss Shea.

But only, it seems, when Chris Rock tells us to.

I'm still 99% certain that Chris Rock graphic is repurposed from 200..7? The mic is Citi Field though, but I think that's digitally edited. You'll notice the plain white background, because I'm pretty sure that used to be Shea.


Anyway, crowd was fairly lively without scoreboard prompting on Opening Day. They don't have Spring Training where games matter for fans to practice though. Give us a couple of days.

The Mets are bigger than The Masters and the Easter Bunny. (Yanks are feeble).

My son started a "Lets Go Mets" chant at a game last June. I was impressed that all of sudden all these people sitting in our section followed the lead of a 3-year old.

Ha, I actually did an image search for "sweep" seconds after the game ended and the Lego street sweeper caught my eye. Hopefully I'll be able to bring it out again this season.

(It would be even better if I could find some blue & orange Legos to build a Mets' street sweeper and put a Mets' cap on the driver. I'll have to do some Lego shopping).

Ashie - I'm hearing it on tonight's broadcast.
