    I was never interested much in sports. However, recently I have been reviewing my life and found out that my father was a Mets fan. I realized as I was approaching 48 years old (and finally in therapy) that I could just dive in and feel a link to my past and my father. So a Mets fan (me) was born 42 years after the fact. Remarkable story I sort of stumbled upon.

    Too bad Josh didn't stick around. Never got to hear his walkup music. [youtube:1pcavwfu]BYoSsdvEzxM[/youtube:1pcavwfu]

    All hail the Astros, making themselves useful by coming back on the Wild Card-dreaming Phillies last night! Trailing 4-3, Houston put up a three-spot in the eighth, Jed Lowrie delivering the key blow, a two-run double off Jake Diekman. Brandon Barnes followed with an RBI single. With the Cardinals' win, the Phillies fall four behind the second WC spot, trailing four teams altogether. Which is about all a Mets fan has left in the National League.

    O's load bases in 13th with nobody out, can't score. But it's not the same as the Mets doing that.

    Sucking and the toll it's taking on co-bloggers. And won't somebody think of the children? My kid, raised in a rabidly blue and orange household, increasingly doesn�t watch at all. He�d rather read, or play with Legos, or do anything else. I don�t bother arguing � watching Andres Torres once again forget how many outs there are isn�t exactly going to make him back into a fan. Joshua goes to sleep under a framed picture featuring shots of Reyes and Wright. We haven�t replaced the Reyes picture, because who would the replacement be? When Wright is also an anachronism, I suspect the picture will just come down, with no replacement at all.

    Davey Johnson, highly observant, likens Not Shea Stadium to "a morgue" in D.C. radio appearance. He didn't compare Terry Collins to a "funeral director, but more depressing," however.

    I admire their ability to paste on grins despite staring directly into one of the ugliest trees on God's green earth.

    I sympathize with Mike Francesa. Listening to the Mike Francesa show often makes me drowsy.

    Carig Tweeted something the other night that included the phrase "should of," which may have been some kind of in-joke that his MFY followers got, but was discouraging enough to make him the most briefly followed Mets beat writer in history (albeit my history). It was the same night I read a well-respected sportswriter use "jive" for jibe, noticed SNY couldn't spell "Tommie" and read a piece of analysis that was attacked for being "overly analytic". So this fucker can keep his cutesy "should of" BS off my fucking timeline. (Also, some vigilant copy editor at Newsday changed his name and email address to "Craig" on his second article for them, so there ya go.)

    This is surprising behavior for a Met whose card I would have assumed Jesus would play in any given moral, ethical or geographical dispute.

    Really? Other than the idiotic OF dimensions and the corny replica of Ebbets Field, I thought the building was pretty nice. In other news, it looks like the Mets have discovered the problem and fixed it. Per Metsblog: Terry Collins told reporters today that he plans to move the team�s batting practice at home to a time closer to the actual start time of the game, with his starter hitting last. Typically, on the road he explained, the team hits roughly 45 minutes before the game. However, at home, it can be as much as two hours and 25 minutes, which, in his estimation, is too large an amount of time. I watched Mets BP pretty intently twice in August. I think I saw three home runs hit in all...in batting practice. I also think it was two, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that I missed one. Point is I didn't sense a lot of momentum evaporating as they ceded the field to the visitors.
