They are the height of boobish hackery.

Taking a pill to help your cock work is indicative of the ingenuity required to fix an overheating radiator using the power of store purchased bottled water.

Jay Bruce is a dick Ruins my Saturday night Mets game with that swing

I looked up the answer and it's someone I never heard of. Granted, I was not paying a ton of attention to MLB during this time period, but still.

Wow, the XM feed is a good 5 minutes behind that post. I just heard the home run call.

I graduated high school 21 years ago and I read this book in either 9th or 10th grade. I haven't thought much about it since -- as a 15/16 year old it was over my head, and the Redford movie put me to sleep too.

Listening to Howie and Josh on my phone because FIOS continues to fuck the Syracuse-area Mets fans with their lack of WPIX coverage. Good guys not doing so good. My mother in law is here so the wife and I are going to bail and go see a late showing of Prometheus once Fgirl settles in for the night.

It'll be on at the Fman household.... unlike tomorrow's game, and Sunday's, both of which are on WPIX. Which sucks ass. The bright side is, the next game on WPIX after this weekend is four weeks out.

Just swimming at work these days... which is why I took this job in the first place. Having said that, I forgot they were playing until the 6th and then was getting too lousy a signal on my phone to listen when it finally slowed down. Sweeps are good. Being done with the DH is better. Let's play actual baseball.

Missed the first four innings but have been watching it happily since. R.A. is dealing.

Forget standings, Strasburg will be shut down Joel Sherman The Mets had pitch-count guidelines for Johan Santana, then the lefty began to throw his no-hitter on June 1 and, well, so much for the plans. The Mets infamously had never had a no-hitter. They were in the midst of an unexpectedly positive season. There was a fan base ready to storm Citi Field if Santana were removed. Thus, the emotions of the moment served as an avalanche to wipe out pre-planned, post-shoulder-surgery logic. Manager Terry Collins let Santana throw a career-high 134 pitches. And if you think that was a difficult choice, then just wait for potentially the most seismic decision of 2012, when the Nationals shut down their ace, Stephen Strasburg. Strasburg, like Santana, is coming off surgery (Tommy John). But he is just 23. The lack of a no-hitter pales in comparison to not reaching the playoffs in three decades. The Nationals last appeared in the postseason in 1981, when they were the Expos. Now the moons have aligned for the franchise. The Phillies are down. Bryce Harper is an insta-star. But the Nats are in first place mainly due to an elite rotation in which Strasburg is honoring the otherworldly expectations for him. The Yankees will miss the fireballer this weekend because Strasburg goes tonight against Toronto. He is 7-1 with a 2.41 ERA. In 71 innings, he has struck out 92, walked 19 and yielded 55 hits. And here is the item that just might matter most � Strasburg�s season is about half over. Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo has vowed no matter Washington�s standing, Strasburg will be shut down before the end of the season. The expectation is about 160 innings because that was roughly the limit for teammate Jordan Zimmermann (1611?3) last year coming off Tommy John surgery. Rizzo won�t say the number. Actually, he doesn�t want to say much on the subject because it is such a tinderbox, and he knows it is going to explode further later this season. When we talked by phone yesterday and the topic was broached, Rizzo said, �Joel, you are killing me.� Then he promised, �This is the last time I am discussing this with any member of the media. It is well-chronicled. It is not changing.� Strasburg threw 68 innings as a rookie before his elbow broke and 24 innings late last year just to get back on the mound. �To ask [strasburg] to throw 200 innings now [off those previous totals], that is not a prudent way to do business with a 23-year-old, top-of-the-rotation starter we plan to have for a long time,� Rizzo said. �[shutting him down] is going to be painful, and we are going to take grief. But I will not shy away from it. I am the caretaker of this organization for the long haul.� Rizzo said there are no plans to artificially restrict Strasburg before then � skip starts, go to a six-man rotation � to assure he can pitch in September and October. �We don�t want to gimmick this thing up,� Rizzo said. Translation: Strasburg is going to become a controversial bystander in about eight weeks, renewing debate if pitchers are babied too much these days and whether Rizzo has taken the Nationals� best chance ever to win and flushed it by being overly cautious. �The situation hasn�t changed, and it won�t matter where we are in the standings,� Rizzo said. �[Making the call to shut Strasburg down] is not about guts. It is the right thing to do.� Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/more_sports/forget_standings_strasburg_will_KT6cNUN2pHDEnnORtXVyhP#ixzz1xglEdbzs I'll believe it when it happens. More likely is some "phantom injury" that they can blame it on. I can't imagine a scenario where he's throwing darts in August and September and they pull him from the rotation.

Wait, why is my cock out/up?

Wow, this whole thing started with two out and no one on base. Good thing I prompted them to, you know, score some runs and shit. Jason Bay, meanwhile, should choke on a hockey jersey.

YEAH IKEY!

YEAH MUFFIE!

Byrdak warming up for the bottom of the 7th. I will be counting the outs nervously. Hey, wild idea. How about the Mets score some more runs? Is that permitted?

I gave everyone the stock answer, that I found it surprising that all three games were cancelled due to rainouts and had never happened.

Nicely done. I'm going to go vigorously towel off right now, with enthusiasm for a Mets winning streak that is.

Bay is the DH (Doesn't Hit).

This game hurt my feelings.

Are Buck and McCarver sitting uncomfortably close together? I think they might be rubbing each other's cocks.

Maybe I am spoiled by Cohen, Darling and Hernandez because Buck and McCarver are a couple of stammering, yammering asses.

Clearly the home plate umpire not aware of recent revision to the MLB rulebook that states that you're not allowed to call strikes on Derek Jeter.
