For a minute there I was afraid that I couldn't maintain my perky optimism in the face of that disappointing loss, but -- SURPRISE! -- I found it. Phew, close one! Let's go Mets!   more »

I know I said I'd switch to decaf, but it hasn't worked out yet. Actually, I don't see that working out at all. More caffeine! More agressive martial-arts style fitness routines! Hah! Take that, Padres! :kicks and punches the air all agro-like: Yeah, you KNOW it! Haha, man, what is with me lately?!?! I think it's this whole 'home stretch' thing, and since it's cold and wet out I'm feeling very September-ey and am all revved up about things, you know? Let's go Mets!   more »

Too... excited... for... homestand... sentences... not... making... sense... :deep breath: ok, that's not working, I think I need to go for a walk or something, yeah, a walk to get some decaf, that aughta do it...   more »

What is this, good news/bad news? Yes, we actually had pitching AND offense... all in the same game!!! That is the good news. The bad news, however, is that not only is Paul LoDuca on the DL, but Ramon Castro is hurt now, too. And Mike DeFelice's batting song is nowhere near as cool as LoDuca or Castro's are. Please come back soon, LoDuca and Castro! Please?!   more »

Ok, THIS time I'm REALLY asleep and dreaming that we just lost that @#$%& game, right? RIGHT?? Cuz that was a reeeally bad dream... Paul LoDuca got hurt and everything! I woke up in a cold sweat! It was one of those get-jolted-awake-and-call-out-for-your-mom bad dreams... Only it was real! Oh the horror! :cue scary movie music:   more »

I'm asleep, right? I'm asleep and dreaming that we just lost that game. Phew, that's a relief! I knew there was no way that could've been real...   more »

I already knew how lame Lameday is, but still the level of lameness exhibited by this program exceeded all expectations during this game. I got the text message from mlb.com about David Wright's home run before lameday had even showed Castillo's at-bat. Now THAT is lame. Lameday, you've outdone yourselves! :golfclap:   more »

[This space reserved for mercilessly taunting the Hated Braves over this win if we somehow are able to win the next one and take this series. I'd do it now, but don't want to jinx us.]    more »

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... That's right, I went there, cuz I'm badass like that and will use terrible cliches from great, canonical novels if I want to. I also went to this game and, as always, had a brilliant time in spite of the big-time-bummer of a loss. Just when you thought I couldn't get perkier, let's go Mets!   more »

Great game! And finally he's got his 300th win... :misty: I don't mind saying that I cried a little last night during that hug-fest on the field following the win. Good god, baseball is awesome.   more »

I was late to the game and missed A-Rod's homer, and was surprised by how NOT disappointed I was to have missed it. If it were one of the Mets I sure would've cared, but then again I'd also have cared enough to be on time, so there you have that.   more »
