A lot of fun at the ballpark last night. I really didn't see the commotion coming after reaching the 5th (I think) with 2 infield singles that shouldn't have been and the Taylor HR. But Quintana somehow avoided the beating he deserved and the game got faster as it went, all good things. Found another quality Italian deli in town and picked up an unbelievable sandwich to have with my Miller High Life. We got there early enough to get free hats, everyone was in a gay mood, as they might have once said. We were with McNeil in that at-bat, only asking for a dunk single. Lusty J-E-F-F JEFF JEFF JEFF chants. Postgame performance/fireworks were only okay but celebratory, and everyone was in a good mood, chanting LGM as they descended the stars. For whatever reason the Queen Dance Crew was going up the stairs as we were going down and they got high fives all the way. Shame we had to fall so far to come so far, as we're still just a game over.

Awright. I'm into it

Sounds like a good idea to get out to the park then. Lunchpail and I are taking this one in from section 514

He's pretty awesome. The SNY director loves him for how animated and expressive he is

no. But he talked about the limitations of the center field camera --its the best way to see batter and pitcher at once, but it lacks the ability to impart the speed of the game, which is why he's trying more shots from behind the hitter. He also doesn't like the strike zone box but didn't seem like he had any influence in getting rid of it

DeMarcisco spoke highly of the head Fox director fwiw. He also talked about how this season has been more challenging than others by lacking a "leading man" on the pitching staff (they showed the extendo-cut of deGrom warming up before his injury-return game) and i=you could tell he's disappointed not to have a dominant Diaz and the production that walk-in represents

Here it is oh that's not it yet

Michael Kay and Jomboy controversies this week was a good if unintended prelude to an event Lunchpail & I attended last night at the Museum of the Moving Image. SNY Mets game director John DeMarsisco (Bill Webb's successor) discussed the intersection of baseball fans and cinephiles, and how he takes inspiration from movies to create shots shown during Mets games. You may have noticed the broadcasts over the last couple years adding effects like spilt screens, dissolves and wipes, different angles etc. --what a sore Jomboy this week called "avant garde" as though it were an insult. That's all intentional and inspired by film. He showed a short film interspersing Mets game action alongside the movies that inspired the shots--lots of classic Westerns for the way they shoot the batter-pitcher confrontations, but other stuff too like Dorothy opening the door in Oz/Diaz stepping out of the bullpen; a shot of Buck getting mad about hit-by-pitches was a KILL BILL reference there was a complicated 7 picture shot they borrowed from ELVIS etc etc. good way to spend the offnight before the debate ruined it

I'm into dumb things teams can latch onto, even when they suck like Robin Ventura and "Mojo Risin" Today is also the day that Jose Iglesias' OMG song is released the team has already adopted it as the home run song

Schwarber got hurt too in last night's game

As placeholders go, not bad. Didn't even start to suck until the baton was passed, but then. Hoo boy.

Seriously, this is great

Game got better after the break

Lol yankees

That was pretty hardcore

Ottavino is a disgrace. I wasn't sure what he was doing in thus situation to begin with

Lol yankees

Right now Lindor and Nimmo are both hitting .244

Peterson got them balls of Saturn

Tuesday Night Mets Club in a controversial decision opted to skip this one, learning through experience that MFY games are an affront to the vibes of TNM. Tickets instead acquired for Friday night

And he may well have been anticipating this paternity leave assignment. Running around with Mrs Torrens, of course

Listening on a long drive, what a treat
