my son will never do a wave. in fact, he refuses to even wave hello or goodbye.

[by the way, he went 2-4 in his last little league game, hustling out two infield hits and sparking a 5th inning rally that put his team back on top 15-12. SMALL BALL YAY. at the end of that inning, he was catching and a pitch knocked the wind out of him -- he didn't cry or anything. what a difference a year makes yo.]

[EXCELLENT!]

― Andy K, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 14:25 (nineteen years ago)

[i know right, but his favorite part was getting a pizza pretzel from the concession stand after the game. and he's just as into memorizing show tunes and tapdancing as he is in baseball. okay enuf about him, back to mets.]

[I made two flyball errors inna Willy Mo Pena stylee in my intracompany softball game yesterday. They lead to at least 6 runs total. We lost 18-6.]

[Which is just to say I am jealous of the Cibula sports gene.]

― David R., Tuesday, 15 May 2007 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

[omg the c1bula sports gene hahahahahahahahahahahaha. did i mention that the combined distance on sammy's two singles was about 26 feet? did i mention that i was banished to right field duty by seventh grade but refused to take the hint for THREE MORE YEARS?]

[Just tell him Productive Outs don't exist before the 8th inning]

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 14:52 (nineteen years ago)

[Supposedly, some of the dudes on the other team were surprised that our "big guys," me included, could hustle down the line so fast. I wanted to sit on those smug in-shape SOBs.]

― David R., Tuesday, 15 May 2007 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

[Haha, I don't need to demonstrate the Productive Out Fallacy; Ned Yost is doing that for me.]

[Daver I was on a bar's softball team in Chi and the other team said the same thing about me and the other "big guys" on our team. It was the last game we won, because then our pitcher and our two best hitters quit to join the neighborhood lesbian team and we were left toothless. For at least two guys on our team, that was not an exaggeration.]

they are my son's like sixth-favorite team

[I love that he has a 6th favorite team! Right now, I barely have 1!]

the dl will always have a place for him

reyes:

The only thing preventing Wednesday from being a completely positive day was some late news on Jose Reyes, whose left hamstring cramped up during an eighth-inning at-bat. Reyes singled, and Randolph -- who was cautious about the situation after the game, classifying his shortstop as day-to-day -- immediately lifted him for a pinch-runner.

But no sooner had the game ended than Reyes was lobbying for his manager to stick him atop the lineup Thursday afternoon.

"No doubt," Reyes said of his odds of playing. "It's not a big deal. I told Willie I don't want to come out of the game."

― maura, Thursday, 17 May 2007 12:47 (nineteen years ago)

no L Mills discussion?

Good thing this was announced, or I'd be mighty pissed I hadda leave Shea at 9:40 last night AND THEY STARTED THE GAME AT 10:16:

For the inconvenience of the delay, the Mets are offering all ticket holders for the May 16th game free tickets for one of three games against Minnesota, June 18-20.

To receive their new seats, fans must mail their May 16 tickets to: Mets Ticket Office, Shea Stadium, Flushing, NY 11368, and include their name, address, phone number and first- and second-game choice. Tickets are subject to availability, and the offer expires June 4.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 17 May 2007 13:11 (nineteen years ago)

what a different lineup today: chavez, gotay, green, delagdo, franco, newhan, castro, gomez, vargas

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

Well, about 12 hrs after finishing the last game.

3 hitless inning so far for Vargas...

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:49 (nineteen years ago)

morbs comes through with the jinx!

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 17 May 2007 18:25 (nineteen years ago)

No-hit jinxes are a non-starter for Mets fans, sorry.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 17 May 2007 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

Dempster making this exciting...!

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

zi-RONG

― David R., Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

Of all the days for me to turn the game off in the 8th inning...

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

never doubt the power of GOTAY.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

Shame on me, really.

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:12 (nineteen years ago)

What happened to Wright's pop?

― Alex in SF, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:12 (nineteen years ago)

Beltre-esque.

― Steve Shasta, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:24 (nineteen years ago)

He's had 2 HR and 2 doubles this week, so perhaps he's got it back.

(yer a laff, boardboy)

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:26 (nineteen years ago)

(xpost)Well not quite. I mean Beltre pretty much stopped doing anything well with the bat. Wright's still making contact at least.

― Alex in SF, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:27 (nineteen years ago)

Gotta love Cohen's excitement during the play by play.

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 17 May 2007 21:19 (nineteen years ago)

Morbs,

How much more... how did you put it... oh yeah "regressing" do you foresee for Maine?

Shasta

― Steve Shasta, Monday, 21 May 2007 01:50 (nineteen years ago)

not too much more, Herr Schadenfreude.

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 21 May 2007 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

also he's still 10th in the league in VORP. Maybe regression will stop sooner than Bonds'.

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 21 May 2007 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

You're right, they both have Walks and Homers in common.

― Steve Shasta, Monday, 21 May 2007 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 21 May 2007 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

― Steve Shasta, Monday, 21 May 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 21 May 2007 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

― Steve Shasta, Monday, 21 May 2007 17:50 (nineteen years ago)
