SLACKISH REACTION: Actually not so slacks as I wrote this part at 10:30 last night. Um…where do we begin?
I was at soccer so it was actually 13-0 before I even put it on.
The SNY Media Guide Theater thing is probably the worst thing I have ever seen in the history of television. It’s not fun, it’s not funny and it’s not professional. We’re paying money for cable TV, broadcast the game and do your jobs.
I love that Gary Cohen repeatedly looks like an idiot for the Net Negative Comment.
Come for Daniel Murphy’s 2nd inning HR.

Gare had a horsesit PBP call when McNeil homered. He called it like it might go out but maybe not. Then it hit the face of the second deck. That’s pure Sterlingism at its worst. Because of the score neither SNY nor Mets posted it, but trust me…crap call.
And then of course The Virus Pitched. My half-ass recap is here. I wasn’t trying to be half-assed but he was putting guys on base faster than I could type.
But hey it was the Trade Deadline, so the Mets made some moves! Well one move.
We have claimed INF Jack Reinheimer off waivers from the D-backs and optioned him to Las Vegas. To make room on the 40-man roster for Reinheimer, Yoenis Céspedes has been transferred to the 60-Day DL. #Mets

Are you fucking kidding me? It’s like they were trolling us.
Meanwhile, in Cincinnati, you gotta feel for this guy.
Early in the day the rumor he was heading for Chicago. I don’t know if Chicago Supermodels are of NY or LA quality, but they are likely hotter than Jenny the Waffle House waitresss. Plus I bet there are more “burrito places” in Chicago than Cincy, so life was looking good for The Dark Knight.
But then the Reds kept him! I can only imagine how sad it was last night in the studio apartment, alone, easing burritos, knowing you’re stuck in suburban Kentucky for two more months.

Pretty long Slackish Reaction. This is Morning Me now and looks like nothing new developed overnight. The Mets play at Noon today – because it makes sense to play games on a Wednesday afternoon but not on Saturday afternoon. Ok then.
Nice to see my #1 follower back in the game today!
