I am actually excited to watch Mets Baseball tonight!

It should be nice out to watch some baseball on the deck over a nice cider with ice.  Then, when I head inside….

I have a brand new gigantic television – the kind I tell you to spend your ticket budget on.  Max is going (Max has got this) and it’s the closest thing to a meaningful game in two months since the Mets opened a 10 game lead.

About that lead….stay calm…the Braves have thrown the kitchen sink at the Mets and still didn’t catch up.  Max will win tonight and the Mets will leave town in first.

…

BTW if you’re curious why I haven’t covered the Hernandez ceremony, I was on a secret mission for MI6 and haven’t seen it yet.  When I catch a moment I will watch and review.

It has come to my attention that the Mets had a coach on the field prior to the winning run scoring.

Any manager worth his Herzog should have immediately gone out and protested this okay. Clearly we cannot have coaches on the field while ball is live.

Sometimes I wonder why MLB even has rules.

Now before you tell me it’s a walk-off…

How many coaches can I have out there on the play? All of them?

Is it “too soon” at any point? Can the coach come celebrate as the runner rounds second? How about first?

Can the coach come out and celebrate if he’s confident the run will score on a sacrifice fly?

What about a single to left? Looks to me like the runner will be safe. Can I run on the field of play?

Obviously the answer is no. The Marlins should protest the play, the run does not score.

Odd.  From Culture Kings.

What are we even doing @mlb?  This is $25 past outrageous and $45 past sanity.

Ya know, I find myself, like everything Mets, kind of strangely not interested in this.  Like so many Mets things they waited too long.  And I’m not going to be home to blog and screen cap it so….hey congrats?
