Ceetar's video shows the eventual winner, Babe the Blue Ox, who was just coincidentally representing the hosts of next year's All-Star Game, the Minnesota Twins.

The Atlanta Braves race involves (Atlanta-based) Home Depot's hammer, saw, paint brush, and power drill racing against each other. The only tool missing is John Rocker.

The booing was for Sweet Caroline, not Rivera.

well, both.

Hating on Marc Anthony, and not even because he married a Yankee fan, which I can sort of understand.

[metirish]

and he's not even Mexican, not that there would be anything wrong with that if he was , he's Puerto Rican(born in NYC)....Twitter is a cesspool of hate a lot of the time.

[Edgy MD]

It seemed not even worth linking to. But the volume, and the fact that he's a Mets regular pushes it a little towards relevancy, I think. I dunno.

So, what's with the Randy Johnson character? Isn't the idea of mascots that they aren't players but mis-shapen misfits that wish they were players but are left to work out their competitive drive through zealous rooting and humiliating footraces?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Well, yeah, but Randy Johnson is just so cuddly.

And it that doesn't sound like a runaway off-Broadway smash, I don't know what.

Or a Nickelodeon series.

I hope the first episode ends with them being gunned down by jihadists.

[Frayed Knot]

TV seems to have a near obsession with giving women male-sounding names or nicknames.

they're three season in. My wife put it on so we watch it now. It's one of those shows I'd gladly cut out and devote the time elsewhere (Writing, beer reviewing, sleeping..) but it's not bad. It's not good either, it's awfully cliche and I'm not even sure if there's an overall plot anymore, just "hey, here's some people living together doing things! The two main characters should be together but aren't and we'll hint at it all the time!"

oh, and Taylor Spreitler is pretty cute.

Got together with my brothers to watch the game. Watched Harveys 2 innings. After Trouts lead off hit and Cano getting plunked I thought OMG the wheels are coming off before he even starts to roll. He recovered nicely and did us all proud. After that we didn't pay that much attention to the game. It was boooooring. Had a great time tho. I got a box of those Topps Archives and gave out packs, which we opened during the game. My one bro got packs of 2012 Topps Update, 2 packs for each of us. He said he got those packs because he learned Matt Harveys rookie card was in the set. And guess who got the card....woot!

The game was a bore fest. Mostly cuz the NL wasnt hittin shit. I was prepared for all the Rivera crap and that was fine and good, but the Neil Diamond bit was a total waste of time imo. All this made it easy not to pay attention to this game.

I thought about not taking a photo, but decided that it was historic enough to get a shot of Mariano Rivera taking the mound. Added bonus - Joe Torre is in the seats behind home plate -

[Ceetar]

Great shot out of a crappy target.Got the ASG on the mound right there, Torre, and Mo's arm is blocking the FOX logo. score.

[Guest themetfairy]

Thanks Ceetar

I also have Neil Diamond singing Sweet Caroline -

[Guest Swan Swan H]

As far as I was concerned, the whole Rivera incident never happened. I'll remember him the way I want to - walking off the mound after Murphy, Wright and Duda beat his ass.

Awesome photo. I bet Rivera would dig this shot

[Guest themetfairy]

Thanks Z.

Print it, throw it in his pool, and ask him to dive in after it.

that's Torre behind him.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Such a coincidence this gets posted the same day as the Rolling Stone cover comes out - two awesome, beautifully executed photographs of two villains.
