View Article  Game Review Quickie: 08/09/07. Mets 6, Hated Braves 7. Hernandez v. Smoltz.
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 »
View Article  Game Review Quickie: 08/07/07. Mets 3, Hated Braves 7. Perez v. Carlyle.
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 »
View Article  Game Review Quickie: 08/05/07. Mets 8, Cubs 3. Glavine v. Marquis. 300 Wins for Super-Hot Tom Glavine!
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 »
View Article  Game Review Quickie: Yuckees 16, Royals 8. Hughes v. Davies.
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 »

Yes, SNY, YES, ESPN and FOX, you're very smart... well played!   more »
View Article  Road Trip Review: Orioles v. Yankees, Sunday, July 28, 2007, Camden Yards! Yuckees 10, Orioles 4. Wang v. Cabrera.
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 »
View Article  Game Review Quickie: 07/29/07, Mets 5 Nationals 0, Maine v. Traber.
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 »
View Article  Day-Night Double-Header Review Quickie: 07/28/07. Mets 1, Nationals 1.
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 »
View Article  Game Review Quickie: 07/27/07. Mets 2, Nationals 6. Sosa v. Bascik.
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 »
View Article  Road Trip Countdown, 31 Hours To Go! Orioles v. Yankees, Sunday, July 28, 2007, Camden Yards!
Doing the advance reconnaisance for this outing has got me allll revved up! And my new Favorite Baseball Fatass, Roger Clemens,* will be pitching for the Yuckees. Woohoo!   more »
View Article  Game Review Quickie: 07/26/07. Mets 4, Pirates 8. Perez v. Malholm.
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 »
View Article  Bring Mr. Met's Family Home! [appropriated from Hot Foot in the hope of helping Mr. Met bring the rest of his family (??) to the game!]
Three kids?? What the... ??!! The game is meant to be for kids (isn't it?), and i'm all in favor of keeping it family-oriented, so this got my vote. Quality reporting once again, Hot Foot.   more »
View Article  Game Review Quickie: 07/24/07. Mets 8, Pirates 4. Maine v. Snell.
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 »

View Article  Game Review Quickie: 07/21/07. Mets 6, Dodgers 8. Sosa v. Penny.
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 »

... learning to do so can be a bit of a challenge, high-quality college education notwithstanding. Guess they can't prepare you for everything, can they?   more »
View Article  Game Review Quickie: 07/19/07. Mets 13, Dodgers 9. Glavine v. Lowe.
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 »
