Camden Yards is beautiful, just beautiful. Simple, elegant, and seemingly just about the game, for the sake of the game, and nothing else; a very pure baseball park, I might call it. Well-behaved fans, and a real live organist playing the organ, and it was Cal Ripkin's HOF induction day :sniffle:. Gotta' love a good road trip, I tell ya.'   more »

This was just my kind of game; offensive dominance, defensive prowess, wet baseball players playing in the rain, AND the win in just 5 short innings.   more »

Sure wish I could've been there today! So... :batbat: who's gonna give me their Mets travel mug that I couldn't get because I didn't go to the game? :batbat: I don't have much to offer, but I DO have a Yankee ticket that I won't mind parting with! No, really!   more »

Is that the same Sad Sosa photo from last time, or is it new? I've been seeing Sad Sosa photos quite a bit lately, so it's getting hard to tell if they're using a new one or not. But I guess we could save a few bucks that way, right? Just use that one from now on, and take a new one if/when it's Happy Sosa time again. Cuz I guess we might need all the cash we can get if we want to get a new starter. Just in case, yano.   more »

I guess I should stop complaining about Lameday, because when it's all you've got, it's just about the greatest thing on the planet. Thanks for the super-craptastic Lameday, MLB!   more »

Easily one of the most fun games I've attended this season, what a great night! We are looking good here, I say, real good. And how about that John Maine, huh?   more »

See, I told you... Brad Penny can't even pitch! Haha, just kidding, he's freakin' awesome, obviously. Still I thought it was a great, really exciting game! Well, except for the part where we lost, that part wasn't much fun, really.   more »

Valentin, too?? Again??!! Even *I'm* starting to freak out a little now... Please be careful out there, yous guys.   more »

Not watching the game can be fun too, I guess, though it does require a bit more alcohol consumption, not to mention a whole lot more imagination, in order to achieve any meaningful level of entertainment from it. Or so this experiment seemed to imply, anyway.   more »

I love the all-star game way too much, I swear yesterday felt like my birthday or something.   more »

I'm reading Jimmy Breslin's book, Can't Anybody Here Play this Game?, about the 1962 Mets, so somehow that loss didn't hurt as badly as I might have expected it to. Everyone else must have been miserable tho... Pick up this book you guys, it'll help! At least we're not 120-42!   more »

In a word, Woohoo! Quick and dirty review, too much awesomeness and sleep deprivation to allow for much more. Oh, well.   more »
