The kicker is that the ball has a nice Citi Field inaugural season logo on it -
It's a nice companion to the ball that Angel Pagan tossed to him during BP last month -

Astros: M. Bourn cf M. Tejada ss L. Berkman 1b C. Lee lf H. Pence rf J. Keppinger 3b K. Matsui 2b J.R. Towles c Y. Bazardo p Mets: Angel Pagan CF Luis Castillo 2B Daniel Murphy 1B Jeff Francoeur RF Cory Sullivan LF Fernando Tatis 3B Josh Thole C Anderson Hernandez SS Pat Misch LHP (2-4, 4.33) Wright gets the day off. I'm pretty sure Monday is an off-day so why today? Perhaps Jerry needs another day to evaluate Tatis. I'm trying to win a fantasy championship so I need every player playing and Jerry gives Wright the day off on the penultimate day of the season. (I am aware that you don't care about my fantasy team.) He can't be fired fast enough for me. Dave Lennon thinks that Jerry wants to make sure that Wright finishes above .300. He's at .308 now. Even if he goes 0-4, he's still at .305. The Padres and Blue Jays have fired their GMs but Omar is still the Mets GM. Beltran scratched.

Manuel speaks in pre-game conference.."Reyes can be productive in 2010 even if he has lost a step or 2" Thanks Jerry, now clean out your fucking office Good luck with your fantasy team..Lost on the last day once..Whole team was sitting.

Thanks Ashie. I enjoyed Gary's questioning of Jerry's explanation for scratching Beltran. Jerry said that it was because this is a day game after a night game. Gary said that this game was always scheduled as a day game after a night game.

Yeah, that sums up Manuel's preparation issues pretty well.

Jerry says Sheffield has more good offensive baseball in him and the pitching needs work Maybe Sheffield & Misch are two of the "player signings" being considered in the management's letter to fans

Tying run on deck. Time to go for the cheap save.

Anyone see that fan catch Francouer's foul ball in the bottom of the 8th, keeping the at-bat going? That was D-Dad. If that had led to a run, I would have been tempted to give him some Schaefer ;)

I just watched it on the replay - there were a couple of angles of it showing how he reached over the wall to make the catch, and you could see all of us..

Crap, it was just on and ends at 9 on SNY. I could have watched the last couple of innings.

If anyone Tivo'd the game, I'd love a screen shot....

I Tivoed the replay. Once I go through the images yesterday, I'll see if I can do something with it...

I'm intrigued and puzzled by the paperclip icon next to the thread title.

What's with the paperclip?

Paperclip means there's an attachment.

I'm certain I'm misreading this, but DD seems to be reaching onto the field of play. Anyways, good for him.

EDC: DD seems to be reaching onto the field of play <<< If it was an important game, he could be on Letterman Tuesday.

Hunter Pence appears to be afraid of a blow from DD-Dad

| themetfairy Oct 04 2009 07:44 PM Re: IGT--Astros @ Mets, 10/03/09 |

D-Dad was nowhere close to making contact with Pence. But he may have been in the field of play. Which is why he was so nonchalant afterwards, lest an umpire thought to eject him from the game. If it were an Astro at bat, he never would have done that. But with a Met at bat (and a meaningless game), he gave it his all.

Here I am all afraid you'd get mad at me again for even the implication that he might be possibly a smidge guilty, and it turns out he's probably guilty. Hilarious. Congratulations to the big kid. Way to play it cool.

Was there a beer cup in the glove prior? 48 years of games I haven't come close to getting one

[quote="Ashie62":umtd74qa]Was there a beer cup in the glove prior? 48 years of games I haven't come close to getting one[/quote:umtd74qa] LOL no - he's not a beer drinker. And even if he were, there are cup holders at the new stadium. D-Dad has been bringing his glove to games as long as I've known him, but this was the first time he caught a ball. He was really thrilled. When you look at the reaction shot, you can see that MK is the only one among us who saw that his dad had the ball.

I'm watching the Mets play at CitiField And Jeff Francoeur hits a foul ball at me like a chump And I caught it, because, you know, I had my glove on And the ump is all “You reached into the field of play” I THREW IT ON THE GROUND!! I ain't a part of your system! What?! You think my name is Bartman?! I’m an adult and I can buy my own baseball! The moral of this story is: you can’t trust the system!
