  1. I just heard about the Niese thing. Yikes. Oh, great timing... Beltre hits a bottle rocket.

  3. So it's a little circle with his initials? That'll do nice. I still wish they'd wear a bow-tie for one game.
  4. EYoung: 1.7 Lagares: 1.3 Granderson: .7 deGrom: .5 Black: 1 Familia: 1 Edgin: .7 Mejia: .3

Instead, there hasn't been a hint since then that the Mets have been in this game. I didn't see that play Gary was talkng about. When Tejeda was looking in the outfield during a hit ball? I'll have to take a look at that. Sounds like it was just one of those things but I still have to see what that looked like. Sheesh, it's like I'll go watch Tejeda staring into center during a pitch and torture myself. Torture, just an unintended consequence of watching Mets games.
  6. Oh, this is that pitcher who cheats. I'd call balk every pitch.
  7. So it looks like they don't even want to pull me back in anymore. Well, I never...
  8. I like the manager running out there, having his showcase moment. But Gary has a point. It takes time.
  9. I can laugh at anything but this is no longer funny. He left too early again, this time they clip his wings. We joke about this base running bullshit but really, who is responsible? Edgy MD wrote: It's a limited tool. lol
  10. Gotta plate these two. Gotta.
  11. This leaving early thing...it's by design? Or are they just misreading a pitchers move? It has happened so much. I don't think Young has to ever leave early to get the base. Nice steal though.

  13. So should I even watch?

The very last at bat of my career, I hit a three-run homer to win a game. I was mostly a singles and doubles guy, so I was as surprised as anybody. One of my best memories. I hit my dinger and I hung 'em up. The boards Ted Williams I played in the Atlantic City mens league for years. Did do some work teams. I put together teams, or tried to, a bunch of times (if there was any interest wherever I was working at the time). Had some decent teams (at work, usually coed).
  15. Now since I don't care one way or the other what they do tonight, they will probably do something grand. And then...
  16. Just a clip on that they "clip on" above their top jersey buttons (or right around where a bow-tie would be). For a day. Sept 13th- his birthday. Or some other significant date. True, someone will probably say it's bad taste or something but fuck em if they don't "get" the tribute.
  17. I played softball over 25 yrs. I considered myself a third baseman (from hardball dayz) but I found myself at short, left & center a lot more in softball. Like Kong, I hit for power & average in hardball and my early years in softball, ended up a line single and split the gap kinda guy. Broke my finger in hardball: head first slide on a triple. Broke my ankle in softball: climbing a high chain-link fence to rob a homer. Came down off the fence off kilter-CRACK! I got softball stories coming out the waazoo. Did I ever tell you guys about "The Willie Glass Catch"?
  18. I sent it to Mets360. Hopefully they will give it exposure and then whatever happens happens. They really should do something. An black armband is perfectly fine w/me as well. Maybe you thought the idea about the players wearing a bow-tie was silly, but I thought it kool. All wear a black bow-tie. Can't do that for the entire season but for a day? A weekend? I'd love a pic of a player in one for a card. Wayyyy kool.
  19. If going with precedent: Though I don't think they'd have the bowtie in colors. If I can do that in minutes the Mets should do better.
  20. "It's a metaphor," he [Recker] said. "We're scoring runs, and now the other team should be waving the towel. We're saying, 'Hey, you guys need to wave the towel.'" Ha. Reck should be a politician. The only problem I see is easily solved: "We are not waving the towels," Recker said with indignation," we are whipping the towels. We don't wave. We whip. We want those guys over there to know we are whipping them."
  21. Granderson: 2 Tejeda: 1 Murphy: 2 Campbell: .5 Lagares: 1.5 Torres: 3
  22. Classic MGiM.
  23. Damn. Kimbral can bring it. I'm impressed Abreu could even touch him. I was hoping he'd launch one just to see who would have played short, like they were talking about. Shae Simmons. Who the fuck is he? He spells it S-H-A-E. I instantly hat this guy.
  24. Nice footwork there Doodoo. Okay,okay, it was a shitty throw.
  25. Well, that made the game worth watching. I did not think Laggy would get to that. Amazin'.
