Jack Cust.

Hee.

See, this is what Ziggy was probably talking about when he said...

…he didn’t want to be mentioned in Cooperstown for something bad that he was a part of. ;-)

Wee, Swooney!

Walk it, big boy!

Productive out!

Serious question:

Does Cust get credit for a sacrifice on that?

If anyone should, it should be he.

Ooh Jennifer can we play the game?

Still working on it.

ok cool

Submarine pickoff?

This is probably already on here somewhere, but Billy Wagner is likely going to be out for a solid year, and the Mets will be looking into Street as well as others.

Who do they have that we want?

Reyes, Wright, Beltran

OK but they have to throw in Santana

Did y'all forget we're talking about STREET?

I wasn't talking about players Street would be traded for.

I was talking about players the Mets have that we’d want.

I dunno.

I don’t know very much about Shawn Bowman currently, but he was the kid who was supposed to be such a huge 3b prospect that the Mets were going to have to move Wright to 1st to accommodate him. He was out all last year with an injury but looks to be doing well this year. He’ll be playing Arizona fall ball.

Also, he’s the guy that adjusts himself more than Hannahan.

2002 12th round pick. In his 4th year in A+ at 23 years old. Is that him?

What’s good about him?

I just saw him at AA a few weeks ago.

He did have those injury setbacks which is why he didn’t move up as fast as they’d. like. I mean, I’d assume he’s on the block since the Mets are committed to Wright from here to eternity. They’ve already had another 3b prospect (Daniel Murphy) switch positions just so he could stay in the org. So I don’t think Bowman could do it too.

I don’t know a whole lot about him… I know that he’s hyped and that I like his face.

Mostly he was known for his defense, I’ll assume he can hit too. Rather on the thin side, doesn’t look like any kind of power hitter.

At least he'd have one fan.

Mets also have way too many 2b's, and gotta get rid of some of them

But none of them are very good.

I'd take Flores

ha ha ha

you’d have to kill a few people to make that one happen. they’re so desperately in love with him.

They don't need him and Reyes

Crap.

Jeffy!

The Man!

DOH!

Welcome to the bigs leagues, rook.

Now get the hell off of the 40 man roster.

At least his ERA won't be infinity.

Too soon.

High meatball. He'll fit right in.

BLLLAAAARRRRGHHHH!

It’s true.

The Raiders game is now on - I always wondered how they stadium shared.

It looks like a temporary stand is constructed in the outfield – is that right?

it bothers me

that there are broncos running all over the infield right now

I feel dirty.

I love it when you talk like that.

Dad?

Okay, that was wrong.

LOL!

then I don't wanna be right?

or… something?

That was shocking even for AN

The dangers of a really bad game.

I apologize.

It wasn't that bad.

Then again, it’s literally impossible to offend me. I’m probably not the best barometer of what’s decent and what’s not for AN.

No... do tell.

(Now, that was bad)

Ouch!

But it was funny.

you left out the "dy" at the end.

but I can work with that.

Yeah, they have a bunch of removable seats.

not only do they let a whole bunch of extra drunken fans onto the outfield, but they also absolutely tear up the field for the baseball team.

Yay.

A's should look into a new stadium.

Football should be a college sport.

So says me.

Frankly, I prefer OldhamA's brand of football.

Doesn't that kind of attitude get you shot in America?

Yeah, largely

Although youth soccer is so, so, so big.

I haven't seen an NFL regular season game in 15 years.

I've been to one NFL game.

K.C. Chiefs. The good seats. I thought it sucked ass.

You're on par with me then - I went to the London game last year.

I’m going again this year. Can’t agree that it sucks though, but each to their own.

I enjoy it when I watch it. It's just that I don't have the time to follow

baseball plus NFL. Casual EPL and UEFA is the best I can do.

NFL is a pretty awful "at the game" experience.

It’s become a very “made for TV” event.

I'd rather watch football at home.

Sitting in my spankies with a glass of tea and a book to keep me company.

If there were more girls in their spankies

I’d enjoy it more.
…
Aw, no comeback. Crap.

Ooh, tea!

Some of that would go nicely with my ridiculous summer headcold/congestion.

I never got to the tea part.

I spent much of my evening last night

with my nose stuck in a few hot cups-o-tea. So miserable.

My secret:

Slip a little of grandpa’s cough syrup in the tea with some honey, take a bunch of medication and sleep it off. Stick some Mentholatum up my nose, take a hot shower.

I sat out in the rain watching the A’s last week… I have a sore throat now.

That's a fine plan,

except that I had to accompany my wife to the bar for her birthday bash the same night. Worst. Party. Ever. From my perspective.

Those Raider Nation "black hole" buffoons would freak out if they saw real football hooligans.

I don't really like real football hooligans

They're the thing of myth and legend - I've certainly never seen one.

I'm not crazy about the racist chants either

Where, in Spain and Eastern Europe?

Yes.
