  1. Ugh Edgin...you fail already. Yikes. 2-1 Mets
  2. Jeez CYoung. You're useless. fuck you freedy freeperson
  3. I believe they are wrong. That hit the back wall. There's a perspective issue there.
  4. I like that song in the open. Thanks for that JCL. They should have gone with blue and orange camo, so the Mets could,..ya know,.. hide from themselves.

That sliver of green just over Fisher's right shoulder -- that's padding, right? Thus it's not even a clue -- right? Or am I missing something? Padding? I see the grass, the warning track, and a blurred out bullpen (plexi-glass sections) and a lil bit of OF wall. And beyond that the silhouette of the Shea stands.
  7. He's leading the league in hits Bats. He deserves it. As a Mets fan Murphy is something to cheer about. Cheer up. And gratz Muffy!

Pinstripes at Shea on a 1970 card = Mets uniform. Well that fact that he's at Shea knocks the White Sox theory out of the water, agreed. But is that the off color outfield wall from early '67? On the card you display it looks a little darker. I'll check a few more copies.
  10. Is that the old Polo Grounds beer sign behind Dillon? There's a website called When Topps Had Balls. Great site. The guy makes custom cards and talks about actual cards. His recent post talks about Jack Fisher's 1970 Topps card. Now he is curious as to what uni Fisher was wearing. He notes that Jack had not played for the Mets in '68 and '69. He says he's pretty sure that's an airbrushed Mets uni, tho it's possible it could be a pinstriped White Sox one. Now we all know that's Shea in the backround, and that pretty much clinches the Met theory. But is that the light-green fence in the bottom corner? If it is I can tell him that the photo was taken during the first week of the 1967 season. I really can't tell for sure. http://whentoppshadballs.blogspot.com/2014/07/random-quickie-1970-jack-fisher-684.html?showComment=1404674830284#c1673168575863347960
  11. I didn't see the first inning. Of all the innings to miss, huh? Gonna watch it now.
  12. Granderson: .7 Murphy: .7 Duda: .5 Nieuwenhuis: .8 Lagares: .5 Recker: 2.5 Tejada: 1 Wheeler: 2.5 Eveland: .1 Black: .1 Familia: .3 Mejia: .3
  13. Two more. I started counting 68t Shea cards. I was up to around # 300 when I saw the Nye card and left off to get a digital copy of that for here. So in approximately 300 68t cards 30 of them were at Shea (this included leader cards). That is a lot.
  14. I'll start: Shea with the non-white-super-lightgreen-wall. I got this book the other day. This is a HUGE, heavy coffee-table style book. It has a picture of every Topps baseball cards from 1951 to 1985. Once a week I'll pick a year and look for Shea cards. (I found this thread before I found the one about the white wall at Shea)
  15. Granderson: .6 Abreu: 2 Duda: 2 Campbell: 2 d'Arnaud: 2 Torres: 1 Black: .2 Familia: .1 Mejia: .1

  17. I've seen a different look in Travis's eyes since his return. Confident, focused, a little mean. I thought it made him look more mature. But they shouldn't let him talk. He sounds like a nervous 14 year old.
  18. ohhhhhhhmyyyGod. whew..books

  20. Nice to hear the crowd making some noise. Big hit 4 lil d'. 6-4 NY
