Yeah really. Didn't MLB get the memo? That's quite the faux pas.

[G-Fafif]

They knew we'd be in mourning over the awful starting lineup choices at 3B and P, thus the black patch.

[Ceetar]

Beltran with 7..will he advance?

who knows..but they did go his whole time without mentioning the Mets. shocker.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Cano bringing shame to the Yankee family!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The Bronx cheers for Cano-- and his consequent blanking-- were like chicken soup for the soul. I'm tearing up here.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Beltran is bringing it! Never questioning the trade for Wheeler -- but maybe we should have signed him back!

Funny, that's the first thing I thought when I saw the jerseys. Firstly, the regular blue logo would look better cosmetically. Secondly the 50th Anniversary patch (which btw, the Mets did a great job of IMO) would be extra special and extra kool.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Must they induce Jeter love for no apparent reason in the pre-game show?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Altuve looks like Mini-Me out there. Nice applause for Wright and especially Dickey.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

KC fans remember Carlos fondly!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Cano boooooooooed again. I love how the Sporting News columnist was carrying on about how the booooooooing on Monday was some sort of PR crisis for MLB. What, suddenly we can't booooooooo Yankees?

[Zvon]

Luke Brian. Never heard of him. Heartfelt rendition. But any slower and I'd be snoozin.

[bmfc1]

This guy is sure milking his TV time.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Stealth bombers are pretty impressive!

[Zvon]

G-o-o-d j-o-b. I liked the plane.

[bmfc1]

Is the pre-game show tonight and the game tomorrow?

[Zvon]

bLiNdEd by the shoes

[bmfc1]

There was a question today for the Commissioner Crypt Keeper about having a home team player participate in the Home Run Derby given the wrath of KC fans over the omission of Billy Butler. He didn't answer but it leads to the question of which Met could be in the Derby. David Wright has done it once and he said it messed up his swing. Ike?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wow, some jabs at Melkey.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

There we go! NL up 1-0!

[Zvon]

N.L. draws first blood. Yea.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I didn't realize Carlos has 20 homes. Damn.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Chipper should not count on a career as a motivational speaker.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Grrrr. This should be Wright's at-bat.
