Eric Clapton isn't scheduled to perform, but Slow Hand is putting on a show.

The booth seems to think it's Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal There's a bunch of decals of this guy on the right field wall, too. Gotta hand it to the Marlins. They do weird shit, but they go all-in on it.

Maybe Jazz is supposed to be a secondbaseman after all.

May's looked terrific, but two guys have managed to hit their way on in an unlikely manner. I had been hoping against hope that the Mets would open the next inning with him, but that's not going to happen.

Mets take the lead thanks to the power of Jazz & Pop.

Talking about the length of the game, but it seems like most of it was the bottom of the third.

With healthy wheels, McNeil ought to be scoring on that error.

Mets need more hit batsmen.

That was a fun pursuit by Pillar. Run hard for three steps, let up a bit for two, then accelerate again, and then let up a touch again.

Let's get thru the first inning, Cookie.

Dusty Baker and Huston Street might have helped also.

And let's get up to date, September people.

All Van Halen studio albums from 1984 onward were recorded in EVH's personal 5150 Studio, with the exception of their last album A Different Kind of Truth, which was mostly recorded in London at Henson Recording studios. And thus was Eddie's status and legacy as an honorary Muppet cemented.
