  1. How ironic. I met a ChiSox fan this past weekend at Home Depot and struck up a conversation with the guy. If there's any team's fan base that can identify with Mets fans, as the second most popular team (nationally speaking) in a big city, it's White Sox fans.

But they also picked up a lot of chatter on the field. After a dubious ball/strike call, something uninttelligible came out of the dugout, and the home plate ump took of his mask turned toward the duout and held up his finger. Unusually, what he yelled back was clear: "That's twice now, Jerry! Don't push me!" It's hard to imagine such an exchange happening under Willie (even if the mics generally picked the umps up, which they don't*). And this was only Manuel's second game. I think, during the previous tenure, the ump would've been yelling, "Hey, someone wake up Willie and let him know he's pissing his job away for refusing to show any life in the dugout."

Speaking of travel, no more west or mountain trips and only 3, 1-series trips (10 games total) to the central for the rest of the year! ... and they're spaced quite nicely. - June 30 plus July 1, 2, 3 in St Louis - August 1, 2, 3 in Houston - Sept 1, 2, 3 in Milwaukee Everything else is EDT from tomorrow thru game 162 That's gotta be a good thing. Time for the Mets to find a nice little rhythm.
  4. These boobs are about as relevant as phrenology.
  5. Well done. I went back and watched that catch Wright made in '05. Impressive.

You can't go changing stuff in a tight game! Ha! Wait too long and he melts like cheese on a hot plate. Besides, Petey was cruising.

It occurs to me that some lucky team could now hire Peterson and Buck Showalter and start an all jacket-wearing coaching staff. Best if it were someplace really hot and/or humid. Houston, maybe? Most of the warmest parks are climate controlled these days. Probably Miami would be best.
  9. I'm fading fast here... stupid time zones.
  10. Wow. Trot Nixon with a slick catch to save two ribbies with two outs. Nice D by the outfield tonight.
  11. I am here and enjoying the Mets' offensive outburst. Thin air is the shit. I wish I had something to mix with my alkeyhol besides orange soda, though.
  12. Jays fans ought to be hoping that Gaston isn't the second coming of Art Shell.
  13. ="Benjamin Grimm"]I thought it was because he had an Edge. They're called labia.
  14. Wow. The Mets front office could fuck up a wet dream.

  17. themetfairy wrote: ="Rockin' Doc"]Woo hoo. A wild pitch moves Reyes into scoring position for Mr. Wright. I saw this on the Fast Forward. What was great was that the wild pitch came just after Ron Darling said, "This would be a good time for Martinez to throw one into the dirt so Reyes could get to second." I did too. A nice win for the good guys.
  18. Reyes legs out a triple off the wall. He's running hard right out of the box.
  19. Commercials beaten to death by SNY that I hate: Ones for used BMWs Stupid Guiseppe Whatshisnuts Fucking Ford commercials staring fucking Captain Intangibles Commercials beaten to death by SNY that I like: Anything with the "Little Bit of Luck" guy
  20. Castro flies out. On to the bottom of the 2nd.
  21. Base knock for Endy with 2 out in the 2nd. Castro at the dish.
  22. Did all of the Mets fans go to bed?
  23. Wright with the early RBI grounder after Reyes goes 1st to 3rd on a SB/E by the catcher.
  24. I can get more in on the IGTs on these West coast games as the kids are all in bed now. Usually it's the 7th/8th inning before my son goes upstairs.
  25. PLAY BALL!
