Wright will wear this new helmet Tuesday in Denver according to a headline I read.

We just watched this on HBO and were laughing like crazy for most of it, got a little repetitive coming towards the home stretch but the final scene had me roaring with delight. Very enjoyable RDJ = WOW

Rockin' Doc Aug 28 2009 03:03 PM After Murphy was thrown out to end the top of the 8th, I went outside to finish my yardwork so I'd have the weekend free. I told myself I could save myself some misery by doing so. I thopught is was better to read about how the team managed to lose the game than to actually witness it as it happened. That is what my expectations have fallen to now that virtually the entire starting lineup is on the DL. The losses no longer hurt, since I've actually come to expect them.

I'm going to specualte on possible new owners..... 200/1 Dolan is selling his assets these days 500/1 Looking to build arena for Islanders 50/1 Would love a NY Team 25/1 Seaon ticket owner , I'm sure he could work out something with Bud about the Marlins 10/1 Me , when I win the $350 million tonight I will buy the team. I'll need a board of directors....

What should I expect from Misch today?

Jeff in an interview after the Madoff scheme broke scoffed at money problems and talked about how he had diversified his portfolio... JCL memorably said Jeff is the guy that gives other millionaires a bad name.... Here's the quote from Jeff "How is that possible? We have other money. Just because you guys don't know how much money we have, we have other money and other funds outside of (the Mets). "It's called diversification." Wilpon

I can't read past this Mets management has been criticized for failing to acquire such stars as Manny Ramirez -- You can quote me on this.... Wilpon may sell the team............or he may not.....intrigue in Queens I've got $37 and a september unlimited metro card with train connection in my wallet...that's worth $153

] casseroles passing themselves off as pizza, salads considered by the Midwestern palate to be hot dog toppings, There should be a thread here about that , or at least a lengthy conversation on Bourdain in Chicago eating that stuff. Great KTE Swannie , much needed laughs ....

Great that they won , but I'd like to see a night win....been a while.

I had a whole long post and it got deleted when I accidentally closed the browser. heres the short version: the argument that the Mets were "beyond help" is in my opinion just 20/20 hindsight, there was a period of a month or more after the Delgado injury (which should have been a big "we need help sign") in which all other significant injured players besides Perez were expected back soon and in which the Mets were playing .500 ball and were only a couple of games out. On July 2nd after beating the Pirates in a makeup game the Mets were a game back from both philly and florida. The team wasn't beyond help for that month at least.

I'm getting the Marlins feed on MLB Extra Innings.[/quote:2zd2iz2m] How hard it is for MLB players being away from their famlies LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 26 2009 06:44 PM Nice relay from Sullivan to nab an overly-frisky Uggla at second, stretching a single. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 26 2009 06:47 PM BOOM. Upper-decker breaks the tie. But, to be fair, that's what happens when you leave it up to the #8 hitting, sub-.400 slugging catcher. You get PUNISHED. metirish Aug 26 2009 06:47 PM Ronny Paufuckinglino takes Big useless Pelfrey yard LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 26 2009 06:54 PM Muffy with the leadoff double-- or as we say in Metland, "Flushing Dinger"-- sets things up for Francoeur. A "productive strikeout"-- wild pitch-- advances Muff to third with one out. I hope he brought a book. EDIT: Well, F me, then. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 26 2009 07:02 PM KEITH, APROPOS OF NOTHING: "Josh Johnson can tow my plow anytime." Check off "homoerotic praise of an opponent from Mex" on your bingo board, kids, and take a shot. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 26 2009 07:09 PM One out gotten, Ramirez given the free pass to set up a DP. And on a 3-1 count, Cantu swings hard... and grounds to Tatis, who throws to Castillo, who turns... it to sh*t, with Murphy's help. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 26 2009 07:37 PM 1-2-3 for the Mets in the top of the 8th. This Matt Lindstrom fellow is quite good. Live fastball, sharp slider... where the heck do the Fish get guys like this? LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 26 2009 07:40 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 26 2009 07:41 PM Up for the Mets in the 8th... Takahashi-Maru. (The no-win bullpen scenario.) COOL THING ABOUT AN EMPTY IGT: If you type loudly enough, it makes an echo. Nymr83 Aug 26 2009 07:40 PM the staten island little leaguers have hit into 3 bases loaded double plays tonight, they're really channeling the mets here metirish Aug 26 2009 07:43 PM I am switching back and forth to Nova on PBS , they have a show on black holes. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 26 2009 07:45 PM Was watching "Why We Fight." This is marginally less depressing. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 26 2009 07:54 PM I revise my opinion. Rockin' Doc Aug 26 2009 08:27 PM metirish - "I am switching back and forth to Nova on PBS , they have a show on black holes." That must be like watching a retrospective of the Mets 2009 season.
