  8. After the last two games, and the last bunch of sudden wins, I don't expect much tonight. Or should I say I expect the worst? I dunno. We are Met fans. We know that all four of these games going our way would be a lil miracle. Lil one. But I'll still push it and forge on with my Python bit in support of our Mets. A few more flesh wounds should do it.
  9. Amazin'. That's a total, right? Not 40,000 at one time, I would think.

I've seen set-ups like this before in old photos, but always thought they were just outdoor boards that were there to view for free. But they were free, weren't they? I mean, there's the display right downtown for everyone to see. And the full details in the Evening Telegram was stuff you couldn't put on a board anyway--the game write-up, the sportswriters ragging on McGraw for playing Beals Becker instead of Josh Devore, etc. That's what I thought, and always thought. But reading that article and seeing the admission prices in the photo makes me think they somehow made it so only payees could be in front of that board. That does appear to be outdoors. Went over that article again (really a very good read) after the game and it looks like they did have free versions of these. I guess the papers figured they would draw a crowd. Two years later, newspapers, themselves, got into the act, starting with Joseph Pulitzer�s The World in New York. They erected a ball-field diagram with holes for colored, numbered pins representing the players. It quickly attracted a crowd estimated at about 6,000 people (the pic above), blocking traffic on the nearby Brooklyn Bridge.
  12. K, I'm done. Bring on the night!
  13. Grrrr. DeJaVuey a lil bit. Lets hope this does not become a routine I would not fancy. But it was a great catch, again off Muffy. I'm looking for a .gif or a clip that shows Duda waving out his teammates to come and pay tribute to Rivera with him after the big hit. To me, that was the highlight of any celebrations. I don't think the Mets overdid it at all. What they did there last night was a pretty big deal.
  14. Murphy 1.5 Wright 2 Duda 1.5 Harvey 4 Rice 1

Lter Didn't Mr Q eat up the Skanks once upon a time? Great game. > Another nice pitching performance from the Mattman. > Murphy robbed twice by Gardner twice gets a form of revenge. > Mariano the great does not even get an out. 1st blown save this season. Last time at Citi. We walk off. > Duda acting alive during post interview.
  16. MFS62 wrote: I just KNOW the VYF in my office is going to blame it on the fact Rivera had to pitch twice tonight (once before the game). Y'know what? Fuck him. I got out of work, turned on the radio in my car just in time to hear Terry get tossed and the score 1-0 MFYs. Then I turned it off. Did Terry have a legit complaint? What was the play? Later Not with the ump. Tejeda had his head up his ass. Clearly picked off second, no mistake. Collins just had to get thrown out there...or Im afraid he would have ripped up the dugout or something. One a those maybe this will fire em up things, I think.
  17. !!!![/bigpurple]
  18. Theres your two base dinkle.
  19. Perfect by everyone in that pickoff. Nice to see something done correctly. Okay Metsies, you have one more chance to un-embarrass us all. Wouldnt it be apropo if we got to Rivera here?

  21. WTF was that Mr T? How do you pull up on a ground ball up the middle?
  22. Frayed Knot wrote: btw, not that it's our greatest concern at the moment, but no way should that have been an Earned Run against Harvey. To call it Earned you've got to assume that Cano's grounder would have moved Gardener up to 2nd and then that Overbay's single would have moved him up Two bases. Both highly speculative assumptions, particularly the first one. And this is "home town" scoring?
