how's everyone doing?

Anyone live in Yonkers/New Rochelle? Did you get a tornado?

I was watching the images from a camera on the Empire State Building looking north, and it looked like something out of a National Geographic special. I’d never seen a sky that dark around here.

It’s been eerily quiet here in northern Brooklyn. No rain, no lightning. Just dark clouds.

but…we see a lot of ominous skies like that in the NoVa (Norther Virginia) and Maryland areas. I’m at work and I just saw the same view you did on the news. Either it’s a sign of possible tornados in the area or it’s a sign that the METS bullpen is due for another implosion. I hope for neither.

or the Yankees

The weather is beautiful in Pittsburgh right now. My guess, given that the tornado warning was for the Bronx and southern Westchester, is that God is displeased with the Yankees.

good for a change

if only every game could be like the last couple

by mmxii on Aug 15, 2008 7:12 PM EDT up reply actions

i feel that we've done above average when it comes to scoring early

but you’re right. games like the last two would be welcomed more often

Good start

Also, Adam LaRoche is back at 1B for the Bucs. I’m happy that useless fuck Mientkeiwidofgbhfdsfggdhgf can’t hurt us again like he did on Monday.

He was terrible for the Mets in 2005

And then he had the nerve to rip the organization on his way out. Hey Doug, maybe if we had a real 1B and not you in 2005, we win the division.

how about them Dodgers helping us out by sweeping the Phils?

I guess it would be an understatement to say that Manny has been one hell of a pickup.

Mets vs. Pirates

I was at the Monday afternoon make-up game. It was a tough loss. It’s good to show these guys that they will not run over us again…they got lucky..but not this time! the mets left many men on base. i hope they can get some more rbi’s in the next few games
