Oh Met Fan...

how much are you willing to bet that lasts night's game will end up costing the Met's something at the end of the year?

Touch all the fucking bases!

I am way more concerned about the pathetic defense in the bottom of the 11th. Delgado is a strong first basemen when healthy. Any team that relies on pitching also relies on defense. Every ball out to left field this year has been an adventure. Our starting catcher, first baseman, #3 starter, and our backup infielder are all on the DL right now. Our starting shortstop likely should have been placed on the DL - and will now likely have to stick out a seemingly serious day-to-day.

Bah. Stupid Mets.

But, if you think that the Mets season will rest on this one game, you are more optimistic than I.

Some dude has a Mets blog called "Misery Loves Company"

They related this old story on there today


"Marvelous Marv" Throneberry: in June of '62, while trying to run down a base runner, he collided while attempting to tag the runner without having the ball. Interference was called, and Chicago then scored four runs. Later in the same game, Throneberry lined a triple down the line but was called out for failing to touch first base.

When Stengel stormed out to protest, the umpire cut him off, informing him that Marv had missed second base, too.

"Well," Stengel replied, "I know he touched third base because he's standing on it."

This proves there is a long and sad history of Mets missing shit.

So the Mets finally hit something....................unfortubately it's our beloved Erin Andrews.

Erin Andrews Takes One on the Chin
Posted Jul 9th 2009 1:33PM by TMZ Staff

Super hot sportscaster Erin Andrews shouldn't participate in any activities where balls fly at her face -- "Clueless" anyone? -- because a line drive hit her perfect mug last night during the Mets/Dodgers game.

Andrews -- who serves as a sideline reporter for ESPN -- was struck in the chin by a foul ball hit by New York Mets player Alex Cora during the 4th inning.

Erin was hustled to the hospital a few innings later, but only suffered a bruised chin.

UPDATE: ESPN just released the following statement:

"She's totally fine. The producers on site suggested she go to the hospital as a precaution. Doctors released her soon thereafter. She flew home as scheduled and is looking forward to working MLB All-Star events and the ESPYs in the coming week."

Her chin shouldn't have been where balls were flying.

If I have said that once, I have said it a thousand times. Chicks just don't listen.

Are you saying that there are no chins getting in the way of balls at softball games?

I'm not sure.

I think I was hinting at fact that even if it is a woman's softball game there may a need for inventory on these lines...

This was bound to happen if she was "chokin' up on the bat".
