Yes, I've been drinking. But did anyone else see that Evian commercial with the roller skating infants and think that they'd popped a synapse?

SNY figured out how to properly cover a team that has played unwatchable baseball recently.

Good IGT. I went to bed after the Reynolds triple in the 2nd. Wayne Hagin blows, I blame him for all of this.

Hey it's a third out! Fuck you Big Pelf.

Blech. It's almost like they're doing me a favor by sucking a first inning dong, then I feel better about going to bed before it's over.

Seriously, she barely outlasted Gary Mathews Jr. What a sissy.

Reyes batting lefty, Wright, Ike, Castillo, Beltran, all in the lineup together, cats and dogs living together, MASS HYSTERIA! I bet they score a hundred god damned runs tonight. You watch.

GO

Speaking of weak-hitting former Met middle infielders (or WHFMMI's if you prefer), we spotted Argenis Reyes toiling for the Red Sox' AAA affiliate this past weekend at a Syracuse Chiefs game.

That's a Wednesday-Thursday and I'm already taking that Monday-Tuesday off to go to Sesame Place. That's a long week right there, but Fboy told me is up for it (no surprise). I think he would like Citi Field even more at night. The 10th is a Tuesday. If you're doing the Wednesday/Thursday, it's the 11th and 12th. I'll be there the 10th and 11th. And we're doing the McFadden's thing on the 11th, so I'll definitely be there before the game - if you go that night, think about it. A ticket, appetizer, pre-game unlimited drinks (Fboy can have sodas) and a post-game drink coupon. Not a bad deal at all! Whether you do the McFadden's deal or not, hopefully we'll have a chance to say hi Gotcha... I got confused because our hotel reservation in Philly is for August 8th/9th and we're driving home on the 10th, after day 2 at the park. I'll have to look into the McFadden deal, thanks MF.

Nice 4-6-3!

Fuck. I'm already intoxicated and first pitch is still 20 minutes out. Stupid time zones.

Mr. Phillips, thanks for taking my call. I'm having a problem with starting pitching on my fantasy team... who's out there that you can recommend that might help me catch up in wins and ERA? Well, Fman, I'd suggest you put your manhood into a girl with low self esteem, who looks like an undercooked pile-o-mashed-potatoes, and then just hope and wish everything works out for your team. Uh, thanks Steve.

Steve Phillips, when he's not plowing incredibly homely women, is now hosting a show on XM's new (fantastically awesome) fantasy sports station, taking questions and discussing fantasy baseball.

My bigger concern is being on the third base side, if I remember correctly, so that we're shaded and not baking in the direct sun for 3-4 hours.

I think [crossout:1s3onb9f]Mel Gibson[/crossout:1s3onb9f] Brett Myers would make a fine addition to the 2010 Mets pitching squad.

I think that on the July 29th matinee Fboy and I are just going to drive down and buy tickets at the window when we get to Citi Field. That way I don't get bilked for $35 in handling fees, the way all of these resellers do, or pay $16 in eBay shipping fees for something that costs 41 cents to mail. Is there a handling fee when buying tickets at the gate? As long as I don't mind paying a little extra, to sit in the better seats, I figure that they aren't selling out these weekday matinees anyway and we'll have options. That's my plan.

Tonight's start pushed back to a near-comical 10:35 so that the Giants can honor Jon Miller and his loud pastel shirts in a pre-game ceremony. Niese v. Zito is your pitching matchup...

I lasted three innings.
