Willets Point

Nice play by Jack Wilson. ...but it sucks for the Mets.

It ain't easy being Green.

C'mon! Let's kick some Pirate ass!

Poor Pedro! It would help if the O could get going tonight.

Nice to see Pedro get out of that messy situation with no additional runs scoring.

The Pirates broadcasters just gave a serious update on competitive eating. I'm speechless

"BOB" is the former mayor of Pittsburgh: ]In addition, the Pirates will honor the memory of City of Pittsburgh Mayor Bob O'Connor who passed away on September 1, 2006. Team members will wear official uniform patches marked "BOB" on the left chest of their home and road uniforms for the remainder of the season. From the Pirates webpage.

Here comes Pedro!

Anyone know what the "BOB" patch on the Pirates' uniforms commemorates? I like the mowed baseball in the grass.

P. Maholm I don't know who this is, but on first site I thought of Pat Mahomes. Then I though of Cooby.

... and Pedro's on the mound! I suppose our opponent is appropriate since the last time the Mets had a serious opportunity to win the NL East they lost to Pittsburgh. NO. NEW YORK 1. J. Reyes, SS 2.

She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything Was as fresh as the bright blue sky Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I'd stare too long I'd probably break down and cry Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I hate to look into those eyes And see an ounce of pain Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place Where as a child I'd hide And pray for the thunder And the rain To quietly pass me by Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine Where do we go Where do we go now Where do we go Sweet child o' mine

Looks like the collapse was transfered over to the Tigers.

I don't want the Yankees to win anything including the pennant.

The Yankees are almost certain to hoist the championship trophy this season unless there's some fluke in the postseason. Let the fluke happen in the playoffs if it's going to happen, I say.

Whomever starts the IGT tonight needs to include "Sweet Child Of Mine" for good karma.

Be on your guard for Curt Schilling, Color Commentator.

="Johnny Dickshot"]Strawberry sat out a few critical games during that stretch run complaining of a bad back. When he signed with the Dodgers after the season he said, "Now you'll see the real Darryl Strawberry." Grrr. In retrospect, we saw the real Darryl Strawberry - a talented and kind, but unmotivated and flawed human being.

I was a bad element.

Thanks all. To think, 5 years ago this week I was banned from the Mofo and now I've come all this way to these lofty heights.

Sad that we just miss playing the Pirates on Talk Like A Pirate Day.
