Sac fly by Soupy Sales 3-1

Very nice Soupy

3-1 Mets on the sac fly to right.

[Zvon]

Prado should be on the nemesis list. Hits a line single.

Get somebody up Terry.

[Zvon]

Wow!

If so it would certainly be the only six-pack that Colon has.

[Zvon]

YES! Cuddy & Murph back 2 back doubles.

4-1 NY

[Zvon]

I dunno. I think I want Fammy out there in the 9th until we lose one here at home.

[Zvon]

Oh, that was just speculation in the booth. They have a point, but I look at this as riding a wave.

Familia to close.

[Zvon]

Ks Stanton!

1 out.

[Zvon]

Ks Prado!

2 out

[Guest d'Kong76]

Nice game. Colon is winning me back to his side.

I'm not sure how I manage in yesrs when we don't have the best centerfielder in baseball.

I watched innings 2-9 of this game but could not post because my house is infested with [crossout:2us4utfg]termites[/crossout:2us4utfg] in-laws.

Where do you live?
I believe that in some states, in-laws preventing you from posting on the CPF is considered cause for justifiable homicide.
Consult a Lawyer if you're not sure.

Also not sure how you'll manage the fact that Gary & Keith are loving the new PIANO MAN sing-along "tradition".

[Gwreck]

It's a bit of a struggle, really.

To be fair, I don't hate Billy Joel, and given how low the bar was set in the past with things like "Sweet Caroline," this is certainly an improvement of sorts. I just wish the singalong could be an upbeat song instead.

[Frayed Knot]

Kind of indifferent to it myself. I objected to 'Sweet Caroline' simply on the blatant and unimaginative copy-cat nature of the whole move and I wonder now how much brain-storming went into the process before they came up with Piano Man ... "we've got to find us a song with a sing-along chorus and nobody leaves this room until we have one!!"

[Guest d'Kong76]

Not entirely a depressing song but certainly more of a
downer than an upper. I'm gonna do the chicken dance
when I'm there and they play it.

[dinosaur jesus]

Beats "Captain Jack," I guess.

[Benjamin Grimm]

The obvious sing-along choice for Mets games is Meet the Mets, with the full "butcher and baker" lyrics.

[Edgy MD]

Sure, that. Or any of a dozen Ramones songs. Or "Good Lovin'." Or "Rock Box." Or "Cecilia."

O, I don't know, "Mr. Brightside."

The logic that "Mets" means "Queens/Brooklyn/Long Island" and "Q/B/LI" means "Billy Juckets" and "BJ" means "Piano Man" is just so lazy. Even "You May Be Right" or "Sometimes a Fantasy" or "All for Leyna" would have been thoughtful.

[ashie62]

I don't see the need to attach to the Mets to any one artist on a daily basis.

Then again I don't care much for Billy Joel.

And at least it is not Kate Smith.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Take one for now, then power to the alleys,
say, make the miracle (METS!), pump the lyrical
The magic's back, all in, we're gonna win, check it out
YEAH, Y'ALL, COME ON!
Here we go again...

TURN IT UP! BRING THE NOISE!
