I was disappointed that he didn't mention one of the spearheads of that movement, dewey decimal system inventor Melville Dewey.

Dui was something of a fascinating, influential, high-achieving nut, wasn't he?

You might have done better had you thrown that pitch to Andrus.

Second 11-10 win in club history. The first was the opener of the Robin Ventura grand slam doubleheader sweep over the Brewers, May 20, 1999.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

It was a win, but dayum. Almost felt like a loss.
The 2023 Met formula; short start by Carrasco, punctuated by crappy bullpen work. Fortunately they outhit their pitching this time.

Even duct tape can't fix stupid. But it can sure muffle the sound.

It was basketball jersey giveaway night. I got there early and was carrying mine in its plastic bag when I went to the Goya to get nachos.
"You want to trade?" the guy fixing my nachos says. "I give you this tray, and a drink." I thought about it for a moment and said hell yes. Nachos and a Corona for a tank top I'll never actually wear.
I thought that brought some magic to the evening but in the end my main takeaway was that Alonso sucks, sac fly and all.

Most definitely.

I should say it was refreshing to see that the jerseys had no advertising on them. It was almost like the Mets footed the bill for it. Also weird in that Tuesday Nights are hardly ever giveaway days.

I noticed the non-advertising thing. As usual, they looked great on the kids in attendance, and not so good otherwise.Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2023 9:40 am I should say it was refreshing to see that the jerseys had no advertising on them.

I also dug the road colors. The only thing missing was randomly varying the numbers, so you and your friends or siblings could look like a team.
