Fine. My kids are on their own if they get into it with anyone. Daddy doesn't go to jail for nobody.

If only..!

Nah, we're white, non-threatening and field-level. I'm glad to hear that its Merengue night though because that means more people stay after and less traffic leaving.

Giving the wife the night off and taking my 3 kids tonight.

Um, yes.

The key is to have a calculator next to your keyboard.

No clue.

Nice job Edgy. Good for you. ="John Cougar Lunchbucket":2hkio819]I could pass it along to GT if you like[/quote:2hkio819] You know George Thorogood? metirish Aug 06 2008 06:37 PM You won't believe who's a huge Mets fan. I own nothing about it[/url:2238pxwl] AG/DC Aug 06 2008 06:51 PM That's some pretty good stuff --- Benigno aside --- but they do a pretty weak job getting and cropping source photos. They should have got a shot from Joe Pepitone's Foxy Lady spread. TheOldMole Aug 18 2008 05:50 AM NY Times on Jon Stewart: ]He�s the Jersey Boy and ardent Mets fan as Mr. Common Sense. bmfc1 Aug 18 2008 06:08 AM Mike Tirico. On "Mike & Mike" today, he said that he will be taking his children to Shea this weekend for the last time and remembering all that happened there. He said "it may be a dump, but it's our dump." soupcan Aug 18 2008 07:30 AM I knew Tirico in college, we had a couple of mutual friends. Watched a few Met games with him. He's genuine, always been a Mets fan. SteveJRogers Aug 18 2008 10:06 AM ="bmfc1"]Mike Tirico.

Oh, that is so not going fly around here! = Rockin' Doc Aug 18 2008 11:02 AM Actually, Tirico might as well be quoting our own Vic Sage when he refers to Shea as "...a dump, but it's our dump". AG/DC Aug 18 2008 11:12 AM Yeah, well, Steve thinks he's got us pigeonholed or something. Centerfield Aug 18 2008 11:40 AM Tirico likes the Mets and went to Syracuse. I wonder if he has douchebag neighbors. bmfc1 Aug 20 2008 11:10 AM More on Tirico: http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/watchdog/blog/2008/08/espns_mike_tirico_took_his.html John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 22 2008 01:01 PM ="soupcan":1k8o5vbb]Nice job Edgy.

I had a small part in making that happen since the producer saw the interview on my site. AG/DC Aug 22 2008 01:09 PM Has he cut the song yet? John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 22 2008 01:09 PM uh AG/DC Aug 28 2008 02:09 PM Still no word from Lonesome George. Meanwhile, meet Sam Champion metirish Aug 28 2008 02:29 PM Funny that they call themselves Sam Champion and are Mets fans. Farmer Ted Aug 28 2008 02:34 PM Mrs. Ted came across a photo of American Idol David Cook taking BP at Shea. Pinstripe jersey, blue hat, hacking at it left handed. I'll try to pull it up if I can find it. I'm guessing he's not a Mets lovin' big shot, rather "I'll dress up in the (name city) uniform to show 'em I'm down with (name team)". seawolf17 Aug 28 2008 02:35 PM ="metirish"]Funny that they call themselves Sam Champion and are Mets fans. "Wait... what?" TheOldMole Sep 19 2008 09:57 AM Josh Waitzkin, inspiration for the movie Searching For Bobby Fischer: During an interview following his first U.S. Junior Chess championship win, when asked what he aspired to when he grew up, Josh replied that he'd like to play for the Mets. MFS62 Sep 24 2008 07:07 AM You may not have heard about him, but in the Danbury, Ct area, he used to get a lot of press in the sports pages. He was a local kid who played minor league ball for a number of years.: http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=20155 I was called to jury duty yesterday (Tuesday). When the clerk read the roll call, I remembered his name. After, I went over to him and asked "Are you Sean Fesh the pitcher?" When he said he was, I said "Boy the Mets sure could have used you last night." He said "I know. Last night's game killed me. I've been a big Mets fan for a long time." Then he got a cell phone call. Then the jurors got dismissed, the case was settled out of court. SO, I never got to ask him any more questions about his Metliness. Later Centerfield Oct 01 2008 08:34 AM I read an article that Chris Rock is a die-hard Mets fan. I wasn't sure whether he was or whether he just agreed to tape the segment used at Shea. I don't know whether this team makes its fans funny, or whether it attracts funny fans, but this is a pretty impressive list: Jerry Seinfeld Chris Rock Ray Romano Kevin James Jon Stewart I'd pay to see that show any day. The Yanks can keep Billy Crystal. Rockin' Doc Oct 01 2008 10:34 AM It helps to have a sense of humor when you're a Mets fan. AG/DC Oct 13 2008 09:38 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Oct 13 2008 12:55 PM J.R. Moerhinger, award winning author of The Tender Bar Read on Gwreck Oct 13 2008 11:02 AM I thought it was a nice tribute to his childhood and memories of Shea but when he came across as uninformed it didn't help the piece. AG/DC Oct 28 2008 10:54 AM Tobin Bell, kinda. Edgy DC Nov 12 2008 10:25 AM J.C. Romero, totally. Rockin' Doc Nov 12 2008 07:12 PM Get Romero for the pen, NOW! John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 12 2009 07:46 AM Ralph Macchio on a FAN interview this morning confessed to Met and Jet fandom. However in my Lawn Guyland yout, I recall an acquaintence who knew him tell me that he walked into a room where a NY Giants football game was on TV and couldn't tell which one was the Giants.

Perez - 4 Wright - 2 Delgado - 2 Wagner - 1 Reyes - .5 Cancel - .25 Heilman - .25

Yeah the Adam West - Burt Ward TV series was great. All the stars appearing as campy over-the-top villans - Cesar Romero as the Joker, Victor Borge as King Tut (my personal fave), Burgess Meredith (Penguin), Frank Gorshin (Riddler)...on and on. My brother-in-law bought Frank Gorshin's house in Westport, CT. He told me that when they started remodeling they pulled down some wallpaper and the entire wall behind it was green and covered with question marks! Wasn't true, he was pulling my leg but he had me totally freaked out for a good 30 seconds.

holychicken wrote: Since the win today I have been going back and forth between the "damn it! We could have been 3 games up!" and the "WOO HOO! After that first game I figured we would be lucky to finish this series only one game back!" 2 of 3 is what you want going into any series. That's what they got. Be happy. Balls could've bounced a number of different ways today or last night. Nice read bmfc, I'm glad you got a win today.

Have I not noticed this before or is the Violent Femmes discography a new addition to the Shea in-game library this year? Just now - 'Blister In The Sun', after a homerun (noticed mostly after Delgado shots) 'Gone Daddy Gone'.

It took me a day and a win to be able to even look at that voting thread.

Santana 4 Castro 2 Delgado 2

1979 - 10 run inning against the Reds, Flynn's inside-the-parker topping it off 2000 - Another 10 run inning. Winning this game after being down 8-1 in the 8th. Against the Braves! 1985 - Home Opener - Carter's game-winning 10th inning jack off Neil Allen in the bitter cold 1979-ish - Bill Robinson giving me Dave Parker's bat 1979-ish - Lenny Randle banging into the wall in front of me chasing a pop-up, missing it and screaming 'FUCK!' right in my face. 2000 - NL pennant clincher against the Cards 1999 - Pratt's NLDS winning homerun against the D-Baggs 1986 - Any one of the many games I saw during the regular season that year that consisted of monster moon-shots into the rightfield off Straw's bat. 1988 - NLCS game 3. Mex falls down running the bases, Jay Howell gets ejected for foreign substance in his gliove, Mets win 8-4 2000 - World Series Game 3. World Series win against the Yankees.

Maine - 4 Reyes - 3 Wagner - 1 Beltran - .5 Schoenweiss - .5 Smith - .5 Wright - .5

What spurred this on..?

Its Bowa. Get past the mustache. That's Bowa's face and the guy is not big enough to be Schmidt.

That Phillie is definitely Bowa, not Schmidt. I'm telling you - there was a luggage issue at the airport and they mixed and matched the unis with whatever they could find.
