Same here. I saw deGrom's inning pitched, and then stuck around until I realized deGrom wouldn't be returning for another inning. Those corporate money grab market surveyed caps baseball's corporate bean counters pushed out ruined my all-star experience. For me the MLB ASG was always about whatever Mets were on the team and the uniforms, the aesthetic spectacle, the pageantry of all those baseball colors, like I probably said in another thread or two. And those idiotic caps, to me, are a stain on the whole thing. Goddamnit. |
I'm watching the game now-going into the 5th. 1-1.
I had this on last night but my brothers and I did our annual ASG/BaseballCard/pack party thing. We were having so much fun yakkin & opening the packs that we weren't watching the game until we saw deGrom come on. And after his interview with Erin Andrews we went back to ignoring the game. I'm gonna have to scan my card haul cause I did great in the Mets department.
Game itself has been boring--knowing what's going to happen is a major factor. The pre-game with Rose & the Reds, meh, nice. But it won't change the hole he has dug for himself. Joe Morgan looked surprisingly frail.
The tribute to Aaron, Bench, Koufax, Mays & some guy with a pencil mustache was excellent. I enjoyed seeing that, so far, the highlight for me.
At least until the 6th. I wanna jump ahead but I'll sit thru this boring badly brimmed bullshit while I scan some cards.
