Nice moment for Ortiz.

That was. I'm gonna miss Ortiz. He's like a Boston legend now.

TC interview. I love those Met caps. Those would be great for interior painting.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Double play interrupts Fox promo of one of its shows. At least the network stopped shuffling them through the row behind the dugout.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

TC can start pulling Cubs now!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

I'm embarrassed that I've never heard of this Padre pitcher TC just threw in here.

And he did a nice job!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

The heck was Ramos swinging at? That was the NL's best chance.

[Zvon]

Who wants to bet that Ken Rosenthal isn't the shortest adult male in the stadium.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

That was an amazing stat in the booth -- The Braves' trio of Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz struck out Tony Gwynn a total of three times -- combined.

By all means F cancer but what the hell is this mid-game concert? The game didn't start until 8:20. Way to grow the game, Manfred.

Having said that, this was nice: Rising Apple ?@RisingAppleBlog 54s55 seconds ago
During tonight's #StandUpToCancer moment, Terry Collins, Tim Teufel, and Daniel Murphy wrote that they were standing up for Sandy. Perfect.

they've been doing this for what, at least half a decade?

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Nice to see TC list Sandy on his Stand Up card!

But stopping the game for this song is a bad move.

He one-hit the Mets (over 5 innings) just two months ago -- http://www.leaptoad.com/mets/gamedetail.php?gameno=8732

Big Papi is sitting and he's taller than Rosenthal.

Ditto. I'm half paying attention. The gesture was beautiful. The timing was blotto. Just extend the 7th inning stretch. As a matter of fact when I saw that going on I thought: what is this the 7th already?

I'm okay with the moment of silence and the signs. We didn't need the extra pop tune. Get that the hell out of there.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

It seems like Fox obsesses on one player each year as the story of the game -- and it's Ortiz this year. Enough already.

Didn't he get popped for PEDs?

Yea, just the "stand up" part would have been acceptable. What part did that song play?

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

I like the gold on the caps and the star eyelets, but the grey brims don't look right.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Terry's running out of time to get Familia in there.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

So they didn't show the Canadian national anthem but evidently a fucknut from the vocal group singing it saw fit to hold up an All Lives Matter sign during the performance! Entertainers are such idiots

If Fammy gets in I predict he has an aweful outing. He's due and I'd rather he have that outing here rather than when the season resumes. I don't wish it on him or anything but if he's gonna mess up any time soon, let it be tonight.

Was it an All Lives Matter sponsored by Pepsi card?

I'd believe that.

[Edgy MD]

Familia's young. Col�n is the one to watch out for.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Would Terry become the first All-Star manager not to use a single one of his own players?

Did we really need a fifth Cub in there, now that Lester's in the game?

And he's got Strasburg down there, too?

[seawolf17]

Familia's gotta close, no? Terry won't use him early.

Strasburg was just standing in the dugout, so we probably won't see him soon.

The NL's not gonna get a ninth inning to pitch if this keeps up.

Obviously. But Terry's not going to use him otherwise.

Nice save by Murph!
