Wow. Did not see that 3rd strike call coming. METS WIN! GJ Geericehawk. Very good game.

Q thought Flores was gonna cut that off and was a lil surprised when he didn't.

Ha! No yips there. Zimm just sucks. Muffy scores from second on the infield hit! Excitment!

Yikes. Its not even 9 and we are in the 8th! Muffy, my alternate double machine... BTW, great open JCL. It almost got me actually interested in this game. Almost.

Travis, my little double machine. DONT STRAND HIM! At least get him over to third. Pull a crazymurph d'man.

I think the problems of todays pitchers can also be attributed to the restrictions put on kids as they play the game growing up. Used to be you'd pitch until you couldn't and those that still could ended up with pretty strong arms. Now there are 12 yr old kids on pitch counts. Now I'm not saying thats a bad thing. But you could say they are being babied at every level. And it most certainly could be a factor in the conditioning of todays pitchers.

I'm glad that you like it so much That photo went viral Well, viral between me and my lil circle of friends. Seriously, that shot is worthy of viralishness. Somebody, inject it into the masses!

I didn't know that Callison hit his walkoff wearing a Met helmet in the 64 all star game. And that's major Met lore to me.

Looks like it's shaping up to be different slices of Met history told thru baseball cards. Besides the graphic stuff I want it to be informative so old fans can recollect and new fans can learn about the Mets. The player cards are fun and all but it's events and game/season/career Met stuff that I want to capsulize the most. I've only touched on it with highlight cards. It's the post season cards I'm looking forward to the most and I'm glad I didn't rush that. I'm still finding new pictures and info for them. They are coming together nicely. I have to do something for 1964 and then I'm planning a series of cards (4 to 6 cards, I figure) to capture the '64 A.S.G. on '65 Topps world series type cards (blue instead of red). Most don't know the details of that ASG and thats a sin. I could only find one color photo from the 64 ASG (Shea below does not count). I will colorize if I have to but that's a lot of work. I'm scouring the interwebs for more color images. I'd like this lil sub-set to culminate with Callison crossing home plate in a blue Met helmet. Getting detailed descriptions of the game is a must for the card backs. I'm finding good sources. I also have to learn the details around the blog deal. I like how you guys have links to other Metsites and I'll have to figure out how to do that stuff. I can't even figure out how to follow other blogs these days. There used to be a follow button but I don't see it anymore (I did start following a few back when). With all the new social media icons now I'm afraid to click stuff for fear of doing something stupid like broadcasting to facebook or something. I'll figure it out. All it'll take is time.

Great game! Niese and Torres shout out : Hey! We can pitch too!

OUR BROWN BEATS THEIR BROWN HANDS DOWN!

He got HBP'd but was then forced by Dekker's grounder. den Dekker, who has one day in the majors and a .000 OBA, now has 1/4 of the runs scored in 2013 of Justin Turner. 4!!!!???? Get that kid some at bats! Nah, I'm off that kick. But I do feel Red is undervalued. But thats the life of a utility guy. Hey Vic, could this end up being a close game? I'm with you today. I'd rather it didn't.

"Who would have seen this coming?" on the Mets offensive outburst. Fuck you McCarthy.

A EYiple clears the bases. WooHoo!

I do enjoy it when an opposing team goes thru the kinda shit we usually have to go through. Phils crumbling. Ike, stop it. Questioning reality will be of no help to you.

very fast baby steps as he steals second.

Nice. Mukky dukky Yukky and it's 6-0 Mets.

Both perfect and broken. I think he's an angel. lol. How can a uniform look good on a person who does not look good inside that uniform? Its a Met thing.

Phils heads call him "that guy Torres". Reckers pants look particularly tight today.

Recker making a day of it. Great diving catch on the foul pop.

Wow! Thank you! Watermarks schmortermarks!
