Everyone wearing #42
such a phony, pointless marketing move designed so Bud Selig could pat himself on the back about how racially aware he is. I loved it when Griffey and a few other players wanted to wear #42 for a day to honor Jackie, but this is turning what was once a nice gesture into complete overkill. I agree with what Rob Neyer wrote yesterday – they are taking Jackie Robinson out of the realm of man and putting him into the realm of myth, and that’s a bad thing.
/end rant. Anyway, Lets Go Mets. Hopefully good Ollie shows up tonight, for more than 2 innings.

Everyone's wearing #42?
Did not know that. Well, whatever. Let’s Go Mets!

I agree
I say that you designate a day each year when anyone who wants can wear #42. This has become a device for Selig to enhance his legacy. Besides, after all Roberto Clemente did and all he has is an award named after him?!

And I’m not sure I totally disagree, Murphy is costing more games with his defense right now than he is winning with his offense, and he is going to lose confidence with each and every mistake he makes. If he starts getting tentative out there, that will compound his defensive inadequacies.

Agreed
Shut up about it already. I heard someone say last year was not a blown lead as the Mets were 7.5 out in June. They just could not sustain the comeback. If anything, the Follies nearly blew it, but since they won the Series no one’s mentioning that.

It's true, though!
It’s a common misconception that the Mets won the World Series in ’07 and the pennant last year. But in fact, they blew a division lead in September two years in a row. Thanks to the Elias Sports Bureau for that info.

Pitch 2: Ball (wild pitch, awesome)

luis scored. throw to the plate goes to the first base dugout, jose running the whole time, score.
