    John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: yeah for me the Valentin thing was where we blew it. That turn at bat was exactly the kind of crap the Mets started giving us that September and it continued until they fired WWSB 21 months later. I didn't have much faith in Floyd coming though as I recall it but it would have been cool. Was it, like, a 3-pitch K? Anyone remember? John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: The painful IGT, complete with Rogers' shitty lyrics and Ashie behaving like a douchebag at the end. http://archives.cranepoolforum.net/5000/f14_t5019.shtml That thread went to total shit at the end. Felt like we were doomed from Limp Bizkit. What about our gushing love for Ollie? Oliver's Army?? Plans for post-game (or in-game) sex so that you can have a first-born and name him Oliver??? Yes, please.

    Damn near forgotten about the Valentin bases-loaded K. Wish I could watch that whole game again. Was a nervous wreck & fairly certain I was fairly buzzin' for most of it.

    ^ That right there's a trip. Unrelated to anything, I saw this book used the other day for just $16 and shoulda bought it, but I'm saving all my pennies at the moment. If you happen to see it, there's tons of weird, neat, beautiful images from Japanese baseball cards and related/similar-style memorabilia. Thinking of going back to look for it. Pitcher & catcher? Ahem.

    I loved the movie. Spoiler here, but the only bit I wasn't into was all the attention paid to the 20-game win streak. Plus you did have the the "Last Second Victory Against Improbable Odds" when Hatteburg smacks the dramatic homer in the 20th game. It felt kinda like movie pandering to the lowest common denominator baseball fan and it didn't seem all that relevant to the point of the story. But then the next scene is Pitt saying it doesn't mean shit if you don't win the last game of the series, and it only serves to sell some tickets and hot dogs in the meantime, and he really could've been talking about the team or the movie at that point and I loved it. It was like they put that scene in the movie to try and let you think it was important and then took it back and said, 'No it's not. At all.' Pitt, PS Hoffman, Hill, & the kid who played Pitt's daughter were all great. And I don't know if those dudes who played scouts were real scouts, but they had me. And Robin Wright is still a sexy mama. Great flick.

Entering the last day, Mueller was at .327, Derek Jeter was at .326, and Mueller's Boston teammate Manny Ramirez was at .325. Mueller and Ramirez didn't start for Boston. Jeter went 0-for-3 for the Yankees to drop to .324. Mueller pinch-hit in the eighth inning -- but only after Jeter was already 0-for-3. Mueller finished at .326 to win the title That article reminded me how forgettable and completely unimportant winning a battle title is.

    Don't be fooled by the newfangled Honda The Cubes and Smarty Cars, for they are the Jose Bautista's of the auto world. Plenty of hype about them now, sure, but where did they come from? Where will they take you? Will they leave you "stranded in the clutch"? We are effing Honus Wagner. We are reliable, have long-standing credibility, and a fancy European name. Don't worry about your undereducated neighbor and his crappy "utility" Minivanwagon. Probably a Dodge Joe McEwing. Don't be like him. Don't be ordinary or worse, ignorant. Get the "Hall of Fame" car. Get the Audi. [youtube:3qsarfir]40WNKZsQMYg[/youtube:3qsarfir]

    I just read this piece now and was gonna post it here. Great work by Lukas, especially tracking down as many people as he could to get their takes and recollections. I do think the blase attitude about it all was a combo of people distancing themselves from it a little in retrospect coupled with a little bit of genuine progress in 45 years. Great article. http://espn.go.com/espn/page2/story/_/id/6852602/uni-watch-investigates-controversial-patch-1960s

    they do look a little spring training-y, but i like em. could maybe ditch the heavy white outline & it might match the hat better. btw who's winning? go Mets. u look good in your shirts, girlz.

    I wanna say the Mets have faced Hererra before (edit: yeah, he's pitched against 'em. Why I remember shit like this and not birthdays of loved ones is pretty fucking stupid). He was kinda heralded coming out of New Mexico, for a lolly pop kid. Wait, does this mean the Mets have their first New Mexican? He was born in Odessa, Texas. Pitched at Univ. of New Mexico. Never been a NM-born Met??

    Nats ask MLB to wear Navy Seals caps. Nats get shut down. linky.

    That was awesome. I was waiting for John Ashcroft's stunt double Rick Monday to go solo & break into 'Let the Eagle Soar'. And Goldie Hawn's bare, perfect boobies did it for me.

    I forget, who did the Brewers trade to My Chemical Romance to get Shaun Marcum? Nice eyeliner, bb. Congrats, Monk! Light it up in Vegas.

    Desperately need more recaps of softball chicks gorging on Lumberjack Slams at Denny's. Someone check Friendster, circa 2k2.

I'm having a change of heart on offering him a short-term contract as a free agent, though. $15 million for 2 years? You might could have both, sir.

    Reading that made me think more about how I felt the sky was falling after that 0-5 start. Seemed like Willie would never get that first W.
