this could come back to bit me later.

like I know in my head
it’s way more likely to be disastrous than good, but I’ve still got visions of 60% gb 6+ K’s in my head.
mediocrity thy name is Wilpon- jdon
yeah part of my brain sees him mowing through the cubs
and the other half sees a typical Mets effort. Guess we’ll see

ugh I really hope this isn't blacked out
the universe would be taking an ultra shit on mlb.tv mets fan to let us see nearly every game this season but Meija’s first start.
mediocrity thy name is Wilpon- jdon
Zambrano outweighs Mejia by 100 lbs.
I hope he doesn’t charge the mound
and has an abundance of crazy
Mejia hopefully can match it with grissionz
I hate Philadelphia so much.
So my plan for today:
1. Watch a couple of innings.
2. Go to a block party.
3. Come home.
4. ?
5. Profit!

actually i might be wrong
it seems since the game is scheduled for 1:05 instead of 1:10 it won’t be blacked out, but games scheduled at 1:10 will be blacked out.
mediocrity thy name is Wilpon- jdon
they own the rights to games from between like 4:10 to 7
so any game that starts 3 hours before that time is blacked out

Ah....
that’s why they were laughing at Pagan when he got hit by the pitch last at bat.
First time in his career.
I hate when catchers wear those Darth Vader helmets
makes them seem prissy
When was the last time you heard a catcher say
“He’s expressed to me his desire”?
I also have this crazy notion that
when hitters let go of the bat with one hand and conk the catcher in the back of the head—-the should be declared out. I always get very mad when I see that.

I know folks disagree...
But I liked Trachsel. He had some rough patches, to be sure, but he also had some long stretches where he outperformed what you’d expect from a bottom of the lineup starter.
Anyone else agree with me that there should be some kind of official disctinction, or something,
between deadball-era ball (and before), and more modern baseball? Records like Cy Young’s total wins and losses, stuff like that can and never will be broken just because of the way the game has changed.
