hey morbs

ive heard two diff visiting announcing teams talk about how the atmosphere at citi is drastically worse than at old shea and i was wondering if it's true or not? are the "real" fans being priced out or is the thing just too cavernous or what?

meh, I dunno. My last 2 visits were in the first row of the upper deck near home, and the main problem was people going up and down the stairs near my sightline during the game. Plus the Wave. Same shit everywhere, right?

I don't know how it's "cavernous." The seats are closer to the field and there's more room on the concourses.

oh yeah, Beltran to the DL. fuck fuck fuck

Fernando Martinez back up, Takahashi and Wilson Valdez down; for the bullpen, Elmer Dessens (OMG) and Pat Misch up.

Elmer Dessens (OMG)

dude holy shit

what a disaster for Flushing, NY

My prediction: .500 @ ASG

lookin good at this point tbh

yeah, I think The Troll wasn't expecting half the fucking team to be on the DL tbh. It's a miracle they're where they are.

oops, that wasn't SS, just a Yankee fan!

Yankees, Mets..... what's the difference?

about $70 mil

lol

anybody watching the SNY broadcast of this game? they show an aerial view of the defense and one of the announcers says "playing him pretty much straight away, no?" when clearly everyone on the field has shifted drastically for a pull

i <3 this nieve fellow

"playing him pretty much straight away, no?"

didn't see the game, sounds like Keith

tomorrow's game could be over in like 90 min.

hope not, I paid about twice what I wanted to for my ticket...

fernandomania

it actually is kind of amazin' what the mets are getting out of people like livan and various other pieces of crap

it's also amazin' that they have to resort to them, tho

just came up on shuffle

callalldestroyer (who is a very pleasant fella) and I saw catcher's interference and a 6-5 force in consecutive innings. Also 4 Cardinal pitchers in the 8th inning (Mets didn't score).

glad that "Meet the Mets" is the new 8th-inning singalong, but just since Monday they dropped the bridge:

Oh, the butcher and the baker and the people on the streets,
Where did they go? To MEET THE METS!
Oh, they're hollerin' and cheerin' and they're jumpin' in their seats,
Where did they go? To MEET THE METS!
All the fans are true to the orange and blue,
So hurry up and come on down -
'cause we've got ourselves a ball club,
The Mets of New York town!

well, i guess that could have been worse

bad nuff

David wright: strikes out against chien-ming wang

k-rod walking mariano is up there with castillo's dropped ball.

(walking mariano with the bases loaded)

this mets lineup couldn't have gotten 2 runs off of rivera if they had 9 outs

lolll @ bb-rod

glad that "Meet the Mets" is the new 8th-inning singalong, but just since Monday they dropped the bridge:

morbs (great meeting you btw!) i meant to ask you if this was a long-standing tradition or something but from what i gather here it's new.

during the part that goes "the mets are really sockin' the ball/hitting those home runs over the wall" the 16 yo dude next me deadpanned a perfectly timed "NO" and i cracked up.

well the song is from '62, they used to play it when there was a live stadium organist the first 20 years of the franchise... Then it vanished, and there was ac rappy '80s synth-driven version that changed the lyrics. Now they've resurrected the original the last couple years (since the redo mentioned "Shea").

oh yeah--feels like there's no way that song could have been written at any other time than 50s or 60s. it's got retro charm tho repeating the entire thing twice is a bit much.

well, moreso when you edit out the bridge.

ac rappy '80s synth-driven version that changed the lyrics

WHAT DE FUCK YOU TALKING ABOUT OLD MAN?

that song shreds and SHREDS forever and all time

I meant "a crappy," and that's not Meet the Mets, Shasta Jr.

Fernando Nieve finally pitching like Fernando Nieve.

lol @ shasta jr

oic only one person can think the mets are complete garbage on this board ok

at least trolly-stylee.

also, the current active roster is not the Mets. It's THE STEMS.

mets kind of are complete garbage atm, dogg. when they get healthy that'll probably change but it's hard to watch this smallball bullshit right now

It's not smallball, it's benchball. or AAAball.

wtf is this camera angle on espn right now??

dunno, blackout here cuz of Mets cable.

I didn't know COMPLETE GARBAGE could take 3 of 4 from St. Loo.

NOW THAT'S GARBAGE

lol i turn on the mets game & keith and ron are talking abt the furry convention in pittsburgh

keith: "i rode down in the elevator with them and the odor was overwhelming"

whoops keith & gary i mean, no ron

"he was petting his beaver"

the current Stems' throws NEVER arrive in time, NEVER

this is gonna be a long and torturous afternoon....
