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.

sorry, I live in D.C.

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 to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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

Mets vs. Pirates

I mean to say the Mets vs the Rays in the World Series would be great!

Quiet night I guess?

I was out at a beer festival/playing murderball. One of those fridays . . .

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
