I wasn't feeling it earlier. Surprised they came back and more surprised Cuddy managed not to fly out when he muscled that single to center. That was an important piece of hitting.

One of the most amazin' games I've ever seen. I was like WHO ARE THESE GUYS! These guys are for real. Shame about deGrom not having it. I betchya he cuts his hair.

My brother wears Mets gear everywhere. EVERYWHERE! ALL THE TIME! Tonight he's wearing a Spiderman shirt and a Batman hat. Wuss.

My brother and a nephew are there. Who's sitting around the area behind home plate? My brother Wayne said he'd be there, about 25 rows back. If you're around there just stand up and yell "WAYNE!".

That's a pretty decent start for the captain.

Ryan Howard: It's ALIIIIIVE! 3-0 the dicks in red.

Mets go 1-2-3 in the first. I think it's fitting that Wright leads off an inning upon his return, so this is going well afaic. Hope he gets a standing O there.

Time to dress him up. [fimg=500:18ayanyz]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7BmB6VzESNU/Vds1Jh_IrxI/AAAAAAAAeKI/VK4eKNjq7qQ/s576-Ic42/WRIGHTreturnS-z15.png[/fimg:18ayanyz]

That's a forgotten story: Some video of a guy sitting alone in his section talking to a Mister Met hand puppet, if I recall correctly. I believe you do. I thought we'd do the puppet thing all season but it puttered out pretty fast. I bet I have some I never even posted. Here's 7 of em and I have at least 20 in a folder.

As you may have noticed by now I pretty much back up any manager we have. Sometimes they can put themselves on the fence but they'd really have to fuck up to fall on the "fire him!" side. I think the last manager I totally trashed was Howe and that took awhile before I could see he did not fit in well. Collins I like on a few levels and I hope regardless of how this season ends he is able to return. Mostly I figure what's the use of complaining. Managers have decisions to make and sometimes they are right, and sometimes wrong. Like many here TCs late inning pen moves, or more so removing the starter for the pen, like yesterday with Verrett, I don't agree with, but I understand that's what they do these days. I just read an excellent interview with Jon Matlack on facebook and when asked to compare today's baseball with the game in his day he said,"Today's game seems to me to be fantasy baseball on the field."

I've been asking around and the responses are similar so I'm going to have to agree. I have to type up my need list and I'll send that to you thru a fb private message and we can exchange addresses during the week. Have you come across an SP? I almost don't want to now for fear I'll start hunting for more. To try and complete this entire set with all the side dishes could possibly drive me crazy, certainly broke.

SPs are in retail too as far as I know, and no, none of the base cards are short-printed. You might have just gotten bum collation, which happens. Between us (over the last 5 months) we have gotten 12 blister boxes and one hobby box (from 4 different sources). That's like 1140 cards. The base set is only 300 cards. I'm at 230/300 with the base set with 3 and 4 doubles of way too many cards. That's kinda crazy. One of my brothers says buy the hobby boxes from now on, but I will not spend $120 for a box of 24 packs with 8 cards in each pack ( I get the blisters: 8 packs, 10 cards per= 80 cards for $20). On a good side note I've gotten 6 of the 10 Farrell cards and my brother got a BLACK PRINTING PLATE for Catfish Hunter, 1 of 1. My brother didn't know what it was. He says" Shit, I got a damaged card or something. The inks all smeared." Ha!

Tell you what.....no, I'm not even going to say it. Stay positive Z.

-
Gah! TC....he coulda been a legend.

Whoa.... Yoenis: I don't need to stinkin' dive for drives! Niiiiice quick inning. Wow, we haven't had a CG all season?!
-
Logans run continues. yay!
-
Gah shit. Cuddy batting for Verrett. Not official yet. Gary says it could be a ruse. Does TC ruse? Inning over, Cuddy don't hit so.....

Benjamin Grimm wrote: I agree. There was action in the Mets pen, but I'd like to see Verrett get the 8th. And if his pitch count remains low, the 9th as well. Totally agree. If he can complete it he becomes legendary in my book.

I am impressed with Logan's run here in Rockyland.
