1:10 start, on SNY. Going to try and pull down the stream since I'm working from home today.

Curious to know, from those who have seen them, which of the "Best Picture" movies are worth watching, as Fwife wants to see some of them. I am drawn to "The Post" and "Dunkirk" based on them being based on history, but don't know much about the others. Recommendations?

Saw also that nymr was there on the Instagrams. Looked like some pleasant weather for baseball.

Being born in 1973, the image I have of Rusty is the second iteration of his Met life, the wizened pinch hitter. God bless.

Second straight day that XM is playing a Vin Scully retrospective instead of game broadcasts. What a pile of shit.

Yeah plus the on field audio is very good at picking up the profanities that the players are yelling (A.J. Ramos, in this case).

Streaming SNY feed via Reddit. Can't really watch, but I can listen to the TV feed like it's a radio feed and hope they use lots of adjectives.

Is there a radio feed of this, anywhere? XM is the worst.

Well, hopefully I am. Game starts in 4 min but the app is playing a Vin Scully retrospective.

Listening online via XM whilst I work.

I always conflate it with something that "sucks bhmc." I don't know if this is a related acronym.

MVP. He goes .315-38-115 and guns down a bunch of dudes on the bases. MASHER

Hell if I know.

I found a photo of the Mets' head physician. It explains a lot.

Not that I'm in this league, but ABNS and I play in a 6x6 roto H2H league and it's great fun. Each week is like a reset button. Make 1-2 changes each week on Sunday night, pick up the hot hand, and you can be competitive.

I'll be streaming via Reddit and using the Chromecast to push the game to one of two different TVs in my house (my 2nd Chromecast arrived today). It's a bunch of extra work but until MLB Extra Innings lifts the blackout rules, or SNY signs on with my provider, I don't have any recourse (I could theoretically subscribe to MLB EI and use a DNS anonymizer to hide my location, and evade the blackout rules, but between the two that'd cost me $200 this year, and the Reddit streams are free). I don't recall, did you cut cable? If not, did you try the NBC Sports app streaming? Your cable company might not provide SNY but the app might think it does. Another alternative would be bribing someone that DOES and us their login for the NBC app. I did cut the cord, yes, went from FIOS to Playstation Vue which I watch on our new (to us) PS4 in one room and on a Fire TV and Fire Stick in the other rooms. Sadly, if I sign in to the NBC App it checks against Verizon and verifies that I am an Internet only customer, and not a cable customer, and denies me any additional coverage based on that.

I expect him to fucking mash.

Even with Reddit streams, I won't get SNY evening replays of afternoon games. Which kind of sucks a butt.

As per our usual routine, eyeballing summer weekday matinees as a one day, there and back trip with the kiddos. Right now there are three choices and I am more inclined to pick one of the earlier two. Wed Jul 25 12:10 vs SD Weg Aug 8 12:10 vs CIN Thu Aug 23 1:10 vs SF As per years past, would happy to coordinate with Metfairy, d'Kong or anyone else who's available on one of those first two days for a meet up. We sat in the 200 level last year and those seats were pretty sweet. Though we like the upper deck, too, as long as we're on the infield.

Because it looks like Mets minor leaguer Joel Huertas (who I think is recovering from TJ surgery) has fallen bigly for one.

Gross.
