It's as if he stumbled on some of Johan's old JR Watkins in the bowels of CitiField pregame, and has somehow been gifted a temporarily Johanny change-up. I thought Shea was the only stadium with bowels.

Did not expect a pitching duel. Can they both keep this up? I think not.

I forgot how good he could look when he's not being fucking terrible. Harveys been giving him tips. "First, make sure there is a ball in your hand or you'll look silly."

Ashie62 wrote: Just tuning in now and I missed the barf.. 14 minute delay but not counted as official delay in game. The Aramark is being blamed.. What would be the difference in an official delay and an unofficial one? Games on. Wouldn't any delay be official?

I'm blacked out on MLB.TV . I do get the game from the local Philly channel. They would not replay the ump hurling, which is fine w/me. They do report he became ill during the Murphy squibble out. Did they show it on SNY?

Home plate ump threwup and there is a delay of game.

Rollins with a lead off walk is picked off by Gee. He was safe, but we'll take it.

Who knows, MLB could certainly have let it be known to owners that it wasn't much worth trying given the state of Shea with all the new ballparks opening that were options. I don't buy that "state of Shea" business. The Mets snazzed up Shea in the early eighties and it was in fine shape to host the game during that entire decade. Heres a few more cards from that silly set I made in 2002. This was one of the first projects I started on PsP7 when I got it, and you can see I had a lot to learn. I thought I was making these close to actual baseball card size, but they turned out to be mini's. I still enjoy looking at these though. Okay, so now I'm a lil more pissed at the Mets themselves than I was yesterday. We definitely should have hosted one during the 80s. And we didn't because they didn't want to be bothered? Gah.

Damn, I love these KTEs anymore. Great one!

Gee will rise to this occasion.

I think Jeff has moments, microsecond-long spasms, where the true horrendousness of things hits him--who am I, what am I doing here, will I have money for food tomorrow, why did I have to wear these socks?--and then he collects himself again and he's the smiling sophisticate we all love. Jeff, I'm here for you. Lmao. Lets have them holding hands.

Hard Light?), playing with color balance, using the Smudge tool to make it look less pixellated, and the Sharpen tool to try to simulate the digital corruption in the original. I found that the best way to add shading was to select an area, take the brightness way down, and smudge it to blend it in. I'd figured out some things by the time I did the guard in the back, which I think came out better. So who is Jeff helping to bury? I know what you mean but don't look at it like your goin thru hell. Its fun. Sure the end result is fun, but part of the fun is how you can explore (sometimes stumble) your way to interesting and amazing results if you really use a program coupled with your brain to its combined potential. I read what you say there and I don't see you going through hell. I see you exploring the possibilities. I always run shit thru filters and check out how it looks. And every once in a while I'll come across a new way to do something, or I'll try an effect that I would normally never consider and the result is amazin. Love when that happens. No Idea what's going on in that picture. When I noticed this thread I searched google image for "historic pictures". I quickly reviewed and grabbed a bunch that looked good to use. Didn't read captions or anything. Initially I figured one of the shovel guys would become Jeff. But then I saw a guy behind them who looked to be Hitler. Okay, that funny face Jeff head gets a lil square stache goes there,*BOOM. I like the movie poster concept on the Buck Rogers. Esp the old timey lookin ones. I gotta make up one a those.

Tejeda .9 Wright .5 Davis 1 Hefner 4.1 Lyon .3 Parnell .2

UGH. Well, even this can't ruin my buzz from last night. GJ by Hef, better than I expected.

Grrrrr. Just foul.

See?! Board matters.

The batting order hardly matters, as the opportunities find Ike no matter where you hide him. They focused on the tying run but didn't mention the pitch much. Was it really wild and clear or was it just aggressive from Tejada? It was close to Hernandez and he got to it quickly and I wasn't so sure Tejeda was gonna make it. Rubin didn't hesitate tho, got a good jump. I was surprised the catcher didn't even throw it to 3rd, and that's why Muff was stuck.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply m.e.t.b.o.t.. I will factor things and make an adjustment. Now who do I steal sips from...

Keep it goin. Keep it goin.

A quicky while we recover from DJs awesomeness. Explain how you did that "Boris" Jeff head. That's just beautifully done.
