am i alone in not getting the mlb2k8 ad with the guy wiping down the bat who uses it to whack jose reyes' jose-jose-jose-jose-jose-playing boombox, which brings jose into a laughing fit, abbreviated by the bat wiper's general sense of malice?

because i don't get it.

The whole ad campaign is pretty lame, except for the Denis Leary voiceover at the end.

The boom box ad is funny, and whacking something with a bat can't be lame.

What's to get? Some nutty guy wiping a bat and counting how many times he
does and gets distracted by the boom box and eliminates it and continues his
nutty counting of bat wipes. Reyes is equally batty and starts laughing at the
guy because the boom box ad is funny.

Not to go into game ads in the IGT but the Mohegan Sun campaign is far
lamer and actually makes me miss the Foxwood jingle if that's possible.

I don't think you'll get any major fights over that. Although the Foxwoods Leprechaun ad was pretty creepy.

Back to the game - Angel Pagan has had a hot start this year. Another RBI for him tonight makes it 4-0 Mets!

I think they want The Schneid to get comfortable catching everyone before they start paying attention to his inability to hit. I kinda wanna see him sink or swim a little too.

3 doubles in 3 ABs is almost better than 2 2Bs and a homer. I think he should go for 4 or 5.

Not for nothing but I was very worried that Beltran was going to be unhealthy but he looks pretty darn good.

Each time Ollie goes out there, he's the Met most likely to throw a no-hitter. He's also the Met most likely to walk 10. And he's likely to do both in the same game.

In the meantime, the bats have come alive! 7-0 Mets in the 6th!

That was a gorgeous play! Mr. Wright dove after a ball, made a great play to keep it from becoming an extra base hit, jumped up, turned, and threw the ball to first just in time to get the out. Just beautiful!

Whomever thought the phone calls during the SNY broadcast was a good idea should be fired.

Beltran getting robbed was just stupid. Umps had a real bad 2007, now this shit (first the inconsistent strike zone in games 1 and 2) to start this year. Where is the badly-needed umpire oversight?

Those may have been road games, but they were home crowds.

Given the low expectations for the Marlins, and the huge number of transplants who live in Florida, I have a feeling that a lot of the games played in Miami will have more fans rooting for the visitors than for the Marlins.

I've never attended a Mets game in Miami but did go to one in Montreal back in 1998 or 1999. It was quite the pro-Mets crowd and very surreal to be such a vocal presence in the enemy's park.

themetfairy
Apr 04 2008 02:22 PM

I went to a Mets series in Montreal in 1986. After the Saturday night victory, the Mets fans exiting the stadium were chanting, "Let's Go Mets" and "We're Number One!" It was, indeed, surreal.

I went to a Mets - Red Sox game in Fenway and after Benitez gave up a game-winning hit, to Daubach I think, a guy wearing a Piazza shirt got chased out of the place by two Red Sox fans screaming at him they they were gonna f**k him in the ass the way Piazza likes it.

Disturbing but not quite surreal.
