But clearly the CF is relaying it in to Chipper and the third base coach seems to be signaling stop, but the runner seems to be running through that towards third, and is clearly going to be trapped in a Chipper-started rundown. Unless they're review it and rule it a home run..which never officially happened at Shea. Of course, there are no officials on the field, so it's easy to see how they could've made a bad call. That's one wacky drawing. I like that guys work though....usually. I like his sentiment about umps. Who needs em?

mmmmm, coffee. A Brave on third already? The NY Daily News today: Yankees: 4 pages Larry: 4 pages Mets: half a page

Asked what he would think about Chipper Jones if he were a Mets fan, he smiled and said: "I would respect the body of work, but I would hate his guts." T-minus one day til take off.

Disgraceful is right. Shameful is also appropriate. If the players are too young or were not here in NY then it's the organization's duty to teach them. Bring in Todd Zeile or any fan and let them tell the players what that meant to the city. Fred Wilpon was here. He has no excuse. I distinctly remember saying they would never forget. I'm starting to think Fred never got it in the first place. Over the years these asshat owners have been searching for a Mets tradition. Remember when they tried stealing Sweet Caroline? In 2001 Valentine, Ordonez, Franco, Zeile et al gave the Mets a great one. The best one in all of baseball. And they threw it away. Something that great and they just discarded it. It disgusts me. I am ashamed of this team. It boggles my mind that they can fuck up something this simple. It makes me believe that they will never accomplish something as complex as building a winning baseball team. I agree with this. Saved me a lot of typing. I also feel its MLB that's being most disgraceful as opposed to the players. What is their reasoning? Uniformity? Bullshit. Players wear all kinds of crap that does not conform to the uniform logic. If wearing a non uniform hat is such a big issue for MLB, ok, Ill go ahead and accept that. But can't they just have a singular tribute team logo just for that day? Wear these on their shoulders. I don't think a logo like this would ruin the uniformity of the uniform.

Why even call it a rain delay? GAME OVER MAAAAAAN! GAME OVER!

Well, it's a washout of sorts. lol Note to self: Be more specific as to what kind of washout I wish for.

He ran left, the ball was going right. lol. I don't think I've ever seen a camera angle showing a worse misjudgement on a play as that one did there. I had to laugh. It was funny. Was hoping for a washout too. Now it counts, so, yea, it'll probably start pouring any minute.

WARNING!: TIME SENSITIVE GRAPHIC IMAGE. I'll get two more outta that one. Yay!

Thank you Baxter for making me sit up in my chair for a second (long foul ball).

JHC! Uggla fights off a curve ball for a home run.

Guess I need a new scream. Bay 2012: 167 at bats 28 hits 52 strike outs

GET SOME RUNS YOU BUMS!

OH! We had him picked off. Damn. Horrible throw but Cedeno has to stop that from going into center. Fuck me, we give em another run.

Good performance by Niese tonight.

Boo him real loud until he waves goodbye to the crowd and then cheer him real loud.

Nevrmind. MLB.TV just posted the replay. Nice catch. Nice divot. Bad knee!

Just got here. What happened to Torres?

Great job FK. Thank you.

Covering the Mets ruins the Mets! Interesting article. Why do I feel bad for the guy? Cause his priorities have shifted? That's life pal. In the team's curvy logo script and goofy, anthropomorphic, hydrocephalic baseball mascot, I saw the boundless enthusiasm and good-natured irreverence on which I prided myself. I enjoy pieces that make me look up a word. Never can know enough words. hydrocephalic � n Nontechnical name: water on the brain accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the ventricles of the brain because its normal outlet has been blocked by congenital malformation or disease. In infancy it usually results in great enlargement of the head. Ha!

Excellent cards Ben. When I opened the thread and saw the 71' Dickey it felt like I went back in time and opened a pack and, WOW!YAY! I got a Dickey!(don't even...) Awesome that you went with the side view type. Instantly reminded me of Buddys card. This image^ is from your blog page MGIM. I enjoyed the story about the Mets baseball cards.
