DON'T BUNT!!!!

[Edgy MD]

Don't bunt no more, JV. For pity's sake!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He bunted.

He did. I saw that too.

Muffy flies out, down to last out and they'll walk Wright probably

[Benjamin Grimm]

I don't think it's advisable to play for a tie when you only score one run per month.

[Zvon]

Crap. As he popped up I heard Muff yell "DAMMIT!" from here.

right. stoopit Mets

[Zvon]

k, Im both speechless and imageless.

[Frayed Knot]

Even with two balls out of the infield (for I think the first time today) they once again strand a leadoff runner

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Lost count. Was that five or six leadoff runners stranded?

Five.

How many lead-off runners were stranded? -- All of them.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Kind of getting tired of seeing the Mets' fill-in-the-blank updates on Facebook:

{Nice accomplishment by individual Met player} as Mets fall to {name of opposing team}.

[Guest themetfairy]

An impressive Major League debut marred by lack of run support -

This is a thing of beauty. I will be sure Fboy sees it tomorrow.

But they will score next season..

Lowest attendance since Citi opened 22 plus

[Fman99]

Noticed plenty of good seats out there for the taking.

Two plays stood out -- the Baxter gaffe on the bases, and Valdespin badly misplaying that ball in center. From our vantage point, in the Promenade and behind the plate, we could tell right away that he was blowing it in real time.

[Fman99]

Two things I saw in section 514 today that you don't normally see.



1. A woman (at left, in grey) carrying a 1987 era cell phone AND a man's wallet in her ample sized brassiere.

2. An obese man talking to a Mr. Met hand puppet during tense moments of the game, which then responded to him with hand puppet appropriate arm gesturing.

OMG - How amazinly horrible!

[Edgy MD]

Wow, that's the sort of hard-core unemployable maniac attending on third-hand tickets that you ran into at Art Howe games.

[Benjamin Grimm]

He looks like the prototypical comic book store employee.

[Frayed Knot]

I think the hand-puppet thing is actually kind of funny. Sure it carries with it the possibility of getting pretty creepy pretty quickly, but whatthehell.
The less said about the woman, however, the better.

[HahnSolo]

I'm getting a creepy "Anthony Hopkins in the movie Magic" vibe from Met hand puppet guy.

[Edgy MD]

I like how worried Mr. Met looks.

[bmfc1]

Zvon's work on the picture of Fboy was fantastic. It deserves a prominent place on the Fman refrigerator.

[seawolf17]

That would be the frefrigerator.

[bmfc1]

Well done, seawolf17!
