Young leads off with a double and then lightening strikes and knocks out a bunch of lights. Game delayed?

From wiki: In the 1960s, he occasionally appeared in print with a female companion, Lady Met (sometimes known as "Mrs. Met"), and less frequently with a group of three "little Mets" children; the smallest was a baby in Lady Met's arms. Does anyone have an image of these "little Mets"? I was looking all over for the above post and could not find even one image. Anyone here have one by any chance? Dinosaur Jesus: Have you ever visited or registered at Deviant Art? You should. I don't think Ive ever posted there but its a great place to see the art of others. Both there and at Tumblr, you can get lost looking at all the wonderful art work people share. http://www.deviantart.com/

Satins eyebrows travel back in time to thwart Joshs' diabolical plan.

Gah. After the granny opening day I made and expected to use these Image dump:

No Idea what's going on here but Recker is looking good doing it.

This day in baseball via Tumblr. Very kool they go with the UMD scorecard. June 25, 1989 The Mets beat Philadelphia 5-1 without recording a single defensive assist. The Phillies were retired on 13 strikeouts, 12 flyouts and two ground balls to first. The feat tied a major league record set by the Cleveland Indians in 1945. *Scorecard copyright retrosheet.org http://this-day-in-baseball.tumblr.com/post/53836916232/june-25-1989-the-mets-beat-philadelphia-5-1

With advances in medical technology and plucking, eyebrow doctors have become a thing of the past.

Lets take a leap backwards in the life of Willard Metz. The mid sixites were an exciting time in Mets history. There was the team with a legion of fans who loved them win or lose (mostly lose). There was the brand new and magnificient Shea Stadium And there was Mr Met (played by Willard Metz) and Lady Met (unknown). Contrary to popular belief Lady Met actually never was officially a "Mrs.". She was the teams female mascot and the fans took to calling her "Mrs. Met". Mr Met and Lady Met never married. Stories of them having children together out of wedlock have surfaced but that's a tale for another post. And long before the days of Mettle The Mule the Mets used part time animal mascots to help shoulder Mr Mets burden. Animal mascots were very popular in America for many years, with the more human mascots like Mr Met being exceptions who ushered in a new breed of sports mascots. In 1967, during the annual mascot convention in Chicago, Willard met and fell in love with Elsie the Cow, the Queen mascot of glue. She was the most popular female mascot of her time. They were soon married in an elegant celebration at Shea Stadium. Mets manager Wes Westrum, who opposed mascot human and mascot animal marriage, quit the team and left town during the ceremony leaving Salty Parker in charge. The marriage was short lived, as Metz found out he was suffering from a genetic form of hypolactasia during the honeymoon. They amicably divorced the following weekend. Westrum never returned and Salty held down the fort until Gil Hodges took over in 1968. If Willard Metz had not married Elsie the Cow and driven Westrum out of town it safe to say that Gil Hodges never becomes the Mets manager and the miracle of '69 may have never happened. After building the 69' team from the ground up Mets President Bing Devine said : "If Westrum stayed on there is no way Johnny Murphy would have traded for Hodges. They would have already had a manager if Willard Metz didn't fall in love and marry a cow."

White Sox better just beware of a man named Andrew Brown. Oh, and another man named Zachary Harrison Wheeler. Such Presidential names.

lol.nice. I wish I could just click LIKE, like on FB.

Now that's an imagination.

I shouldn't have picked Madonna cause you almost can't tell the difference.

I'll get it started. All I did was flip his brows and stick em under his nose. You can stick those brows anywhere you see fit.

LISTEN UP my friends. Wrights app. 150,000 votes behind Sandoval. We are really going to have to go out of our way to make this happen. And anyone here that doesn't, shame on you. And if all Met fans can't get enough votes together to make Wright the starter, then shame on us all. It's really up to us. MAKE IT HAPPEN! http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/all_star/y2013/index.jsp

If I ever make a David Aardsma baseball card, I'm going to be tempted to use this image: Ya gotta do it. Just for the fun of it.

Ceetar wrote: I think the call was ultimately wrong with no runners on. Once he goes to make a transfer, in any way, the ball is caught and the play is over because there is no need to make a throw. But with a runner on, the transfer is part of the action that needs to happen so you can conceivably argue he could be trying to hurry and drop it because he's trying to do two things catch and transfer to be able to throw. With no one on, all he's trying to do is catch the ball. This^. I love when someone saves me from typing. I hat typing. I will type more to say that IMO the ball was secure in his glove, if only for seconds. Enough seconds? In real time I thought so.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Frayed Knot wrote: But it's the right call even if an odd one -- and, yeah, I've seen it go against the Mets as well. Just pointing out that there's a practical limit to how long you can enforce the 'clean transfer' thing. I think the thing here is that the glove hand was still in its follow-through motion after catching the ball when the ball rolled out. So even though there was a moment or two where the ball was solidly grasped in his glove, it's hard to argue that he ever had "control" of the ball. I don't know exactly how the rule is worded, but I think the spirit of the rule should be whether the fielder had control of the ball, where he could decide what he wanted to do with it; throw it to the infield, toss it into the stands, wipe his nose with it, lick it, whatever. Revere never really had that possession. For the Mets, I love the call. Against the Mets, there would be a smoldering crater where my TV is. It was a judgement call and I personally thought Revere caught it . If Lagares was initially ruled out we wouldn't have given it another thought. The rule about transferring/control does give an ump the option to make that call. And he made it. Phils post game were all over this. Ha! Phils post game sucks.

Still, squarin' up the ball all day. I love it. It must be someone's turn to play the Brown Dirt Cowboy today because the captain was fantastic. This may be one of the most anticipated albums in my life. It wasn't Yellow Brick Road great but it did not disappoint.

Very good game. Harvey wins. Wright rocks. Mets roll.
