Last late game of the season.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Various social media outlets concerned with ball games and haberdashery are indicating that tonight the Mets will, in honor of '80s night at Petco Park, be dressed thusly:

Well, the 9/17 game is going to be on at 1 am where I am.

[Edgy MD]

Whenever we go to San Diego, I privately hope that Bruce Springsteen isn't pitching.

[Ceetar]

I'm sorta bummed that I don't think I can stay up to watch this one. Dickey pitching too..

So at least it should be a quick game.

Yeah, but Nettles has retired so we should be ok now.

Francisco back, Byrdak to DL (shoulder).

Brian Cashman called in to say that he thinks Bydak's been over-used.


But I guess this spares Elvin the ride back to Buffalo for the time being, and Edgin for maybe even longer.

[Fman99]

Yay, baseball! I've been watching tape delay Olympics while in real time the athletes are having orgies in their London sex-village.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Oh yes, it's '80s night
But the pants ain't tight
Yes, it's '80s night
Oh what a butt ugly sight

[Ceetar]

[Fman99]

Is this the uniform that the Padres wore in the 1980's? It seems more contemporary than the Mets 80's clunkers.

[Fman99]

Wow, with the 1980's uniform, Jason Bay's George Foster impression has been perfected.

[Ceetar]

Isn't the whole "No advertising on uniforms" thing extended to companies like Majestic? or no, because they're affiliated with MLB and selling these uniforms?

[Ceetar]

[Guest Swan Swan H]

The maker's mark is allowed on the uniform.

I guess it just stands out more on this one? Or i'm just oddly observant tonight.

It's natural to be looking more closely at a different uniform. Plus, the cold medicine.

Speaking of which, why am I still up. ugh.

Okay, let's go score some runs.

[Fman99]

Methinks the Mets got a break there, I think Dickey was out. We'll take it.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey, Angel Hernandez even blows calls in our favor!!

They wore it during the mid 1980s through the end of the decade.

In fact, SNY showed the crazy extra inning game in SD from 1986, and the Pads were dressed in the same uniforms they are wearing tonight.

Check batmags' thread about the Little League from earlier tonight for a sweet Padres uni history.
