I've always thought it completely ridiculous that pitchers bat in the All-Star game.I am vehemently opposed to the DH but the ONE and ONLY place it makes perfect sense IS the All-Star game.Yet every other year they make the pitchers bat. Incroyable! (I'm practicing my French for next year's Tour)

Not what you're looking for exactly but how many times does he mention that he garnered the highest percentage of Hall of Fame votes in history?Answer: Too many.

Minor celebrity?Why? Cause he blogs?Please. Wake me when Alyssa Milano shows up.

Dogs at the park?Where do they go doodie?

Only in their mountains...

So he was the unlucky one who actually touched the ball, oh well sucks for him. If he wasn't trying to grab the ball he would never have been villified like he was.No sympathy from me.

So screw them too.

There was a guy in my fraternity named Phil Nevins.I'd do Soriano for Zambrano and/or Heilmann/Seo. Would not give up Milledge for him.I'd give up Glavine and/or Hernandez for Shoppach.If those names aren't enough to get those deals done (one or the other not BOTH deals) then I'm cool with standing pat.

Bartman may very well have gotten jobbed but you know what? Too bad for him.He knew where he was sitting and the ball wasn't a line drive. Everybody in the place knew that the ball would come down close to the field and that there was a chance that a play could be made on it.My point - back the fuck up and let the fielder have a chance to make the play.If you are at a game and you are oblivious to the goings on as it relates to that ball rolling along the wall or the fly ball that could possibly reach the seats then why are you there? Give those front row seats to someone who will appreciate, respect and actually watch the game. You want a souvenir? I'm sure there's a gift shop at the end of the ramp.What seawolf says about people just losing their shit over free stuff is so true - one of my pet peeves are the people that start screaming and standing and clawing at the batboys and players for the errant foul ball that comes their way. It's the most annoying thing when you're trying to watch a batter and 15 people who couldn't give a crap jump out of their seats and start screaming 'JIM! JIM! JIM!']Grr. Grumble. Grouch. Indeed. Amen, brother.

Hysterical. Bizarre. Ridiculous.8 sliders.

You are a glutton for punishment.

Fan interference drives me crazy too.Especially a fan that interferes with a play that if let alone would benefit their team - foul pops in the front rows of the stands for instance. Bartman may not have leaned onto the field, but as a Cubs fan he should have backed away and made it easier for Alou to get to the ball, not fought him for position.]People do crazy things for free stuff. I've even seen a guy fall out of the suites onto a metal railing at a Ducks game reaching for a t-shirt -- an image that will be with me forever.For a t-shirt? At a Ducks game? Incredible.

I've got tentative plans to go on Wednesday night.Garvey, Winfield retired by the Pods?Ridonculous.

Zemeckis did Back to the Future if I am not mistaken.Good enough for me.Verhoeven did Showgirls right? Naked chicks always make movies better so if he got it, that'd be fine.The others I don't know enough about to opine on.

But I can dream.)You're smarter than that Wolfie.

Rumor has it its a rotater cuff problem.

Vic Sage wrote:The "Diamond Club" is a sports bar, more or less. There is no dress code that i'm aware of, but you could call to make sure. The menu is strictly "pub food". Its strictly a nachos and burger place, so stay away from anything fancy. Not too pricey, but more $$ than its quality warrants. There are a few plaques, trophies and busts in the lobby... the "Mets Hall of Fame", such as it is. And a souvenir shop. There is another dining room where they do a buffet, but i've not been there.Mr. Sage is talking about The Grill Room which is on the other side of the room from the actual Diamond Club. The D.C. is the formal dining room. If you want to eat in the Diamond Club as opposed to the Grill Room you should call today or tomorrow morning to make reservations just in case.The Diamond Club has views of the field which the Grill Room does not.Also up there are the two Mets World Series trophies, bronze busts of every member of the Mets Hall Of Fame and a souvenir shop (although the shop on the field level behind home plate is better)If you're lucky you may actually see a Met. If you're really early sometimes you'll catch a current player or coach. Last time I was there I saw Keith Hernandez and Ted Robinson. I think they have to walk through the Grill Room to get to the broadcast booth.OE: If you want my advice skip the Diamond Club. Go up there, check out the trophies and such. If the mood strikes get a burger or dog at the Grill Room (no reservations bnecessary but get there early). This way you can wear jerseys, hats whatever.Enjoy.
