Mets are playing the AL East in late September. Wow. There can be some MFY satisfaction if the Red Sox take this series.

This nonsense will continue next year as the Mets play Oakland September 23-25, 2022. You're right. Here are the AL WC Standings: https://www.mlb.com/standings/wild-card So while we want the Mets to win, if the Mets lose it's not all bad.

What's the Dropkick's non-mention (but mentioned) thing about?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMgHX2dhVlE It was Daniel Murphy's AB music and is used in almost every movie set in Boston. It's a terrific song.

The words to "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" were written by Woody Guthrie while he was living on Mermaid Avenue on Coney Island, so it all circles back to New York.

I was trying to avoid being cynical about our team and that's all I could come up with. Hopefully, I will have a chance to think of something better for Wednesday.

MMO would be a much more pleasant place to visit if they'd ditch the ads. I got a Jeep pop-up-ad window that froze my laptop for a good minute before it finally loaded. There's banner ads on top. Then a small one on the bottom that you can close -- but it's a fucking mess and not fun.

Wow, a Dom Smith appearance. All it took was a trip to the 10-man league. First start for him since September 9, when he whiffed three times in four trips. His last nine appearances have been as a pinch-hitter (nicely going 3-8 with a walk, 2 doubles, and 3 RBI).

I understand the unis and the message... but if you're going to have interleague play, which creates the opportunities for fans to see different teams, then the interleague opponent should wear their normal uniforms.

They're wearing the City Connect uniforms because they've been on a 5-game win streak since they started wearing them. If the Mets win tonight, we'll see the regular Red Sox unis tomorrow.

The Mets are facing the deadly Bases Loaded With No Outs Challenge.

I remember a waitress in Baltimore telling my group the same thing during the very first year of inter league play. OTOH, the NESN guy is probably contractually obligated to say what he said.

The camera keeps finding Jacob Barnes in the Sox bullpen. Even in that highlighter-colored uni, you can't miss him.

Baez, we just needed contact there. You didn't need to hit one to New Hampsha.

Add in 2d and 3d one-out, Baez and Alonso up, and no runs.

Edgy MD Sep 21 2021 07:28 PM Re: IGT 9/21/21: NYM @ BOS: I Will Not Mention The Dropkick Murphys

Yeah, but at least they had to face a new pitcher who was on his game. When DiSarcina did that send, the Mets had the bezez loaded, no out, and a pitcher self-destructing.

I'm not even particularly sure I get the City Connect thing. I dial it up and the first description I see is "Nike has been working with each MLB team to craft a uniform that expresses the personality and communities of the team's home city." That's sort of a big part of what unis have been trying to do all along, no?

Edgy MD Sep 21 2021 08:43 PM Re: IGT 9/21/21: NYM @ BOS: I Will Not Mention The Dropkick Murphys

The official scorer will have to decide on a winning pitcher ... if the Red Sox win, Gary.

Frayed Knot Sep 22 2021 09:08 AM Re: IGT 9/21/21: NYM @ BOS: I Will Not Mention The Dropkick Murphys

the Mets have played nine straight regular season games that have lasted at least 3:30 And the sad part is, there's been nothing unusual about this set of games. As a whole they haven't been high-scoring or particularly "strategic" to where a game is sailing along until the brakes get slammed on in the 7th inning. And it's not one of those Septembers of yore with 38 guys on each bench. These games have started slowly, muddled through the middle, and then crept to an eventual conclusion, several of them with me no longer in attendance by that point.

Edgy MD Sep 22 2021 09:19 AM Re: IGT 9/21/21: NYM @ BOS: I Will Not Mention The Dropkick Murphys

They don't even have the 40-man roster to blame anymore. The most notable game lengtheners are that (a) three of them have come against American League clubs, and (b) managers are going to the bullpen earlier in every game. Oh, yeah, (c) lots of calls to Chelsea.

Frayed Knot Sep 22 2021 01:07 PM Re: IGT 9/21/21: NYM @ BOS: I Will Not Mention The Dropkick Murphys

Usually it's the mound conferences, pitching changes, and replay reviews which bring the games Up to three hours, but these recent games are usually past the one hour mark before they even hit the end of the 3rd. When that happens, 3:15 or longer becomes the base line with late game machinations just tacking onto things from there.
