8:04 Murphy is 2 for 2 in this game so far.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As of 7:40 pm tonight the Dan Murphy hit count to 300 is at 297….I was fed some erroneous info before, but that is what happens when you get called into fill in for the starting pitcher who is stuck in traffic.

Will sent this to me in May…it’s been sitting at the top of my “stuff to get to” line in what has been a busy spring and summer.  Anyways, an interesting discussion…

Shannon –

Something happened at the Mets/Giants game last night that really bothered me, and I wanted to share it with you.

I was sitting in the fifth row of section 313, in the obnoxiously named Excelsior section. In the bottom of the 8th with the score tied 6-6, a young fan in a Reyes jersey two rows in front of me stood up and started clapping. He wasn’t drunk, or obnoxious. He was just excited.

I stood up as well, and began clapping. Moments later, the usher walked down the steps and told the fan in the jersey to sit down, which he did without incident.

The usher didn’t admonish me, maybe because there was nobody sitting behind me in the sparsely populated section. But if he had, I would not have sat down. This is not the Philharmonic. It’s a baseball game. And I’d think the team would be happy that people still care enough to stand up and cheer.

Not long after, I heard the fan talking to his buddies. “This stadium is like a funeral,” he said. He was right.

Sounds like a case of the old “down in front.”  I’m probably the wrong person to ask since I’m a curmudgeon and wish we could all sit down at concerts…but a tie game, late in the game, I can see it.  Get a cheer started.

Now if this fan were getting up every time RA Dickey got ahead in the count I’d be president of the Sit Down Club.

Sounds to me like the usher handled it well.  Thoughts?

Regular joes like us, we know to keep our eyes forward in the men’s room.  Apparently, the rich guys aren’t able to control themselves, or maybe they are just shy.

Anyways, sure is funny that there are dividers in some of the restrooms at Citi Field, just not the ones we use.

From Ceetar’s cool photo gallery….and be sure to visit Optimistic Mets Fan and bombard him with emails ([email protected]) to just join the Mets Police already.

By the way, I applaud Ceetar for taking this photo.  As a blogger, urinal shots are the hardest to take…you have to be alone and not get caught, because otherwise it looks VERY weird.  Very challenging.

 

Ladies and Gentleman. It is time to name my new residence I will be upgrading to. Like I said in the earlier post announcing this contest, Shannon has place Mets Police HQ, and I now I want a cool name for my apartment.

I think I deserve a cool name for my place since I am  the defacto second in command here at MP. It could be a take of on MP:HQ, photography, comics, films, the Mets. Let’s see what you got guys. Maybe I will confer with Shannon on it but I doubt it. Let’s see what you got guys.

The winner gets a Man Up and Play Better T shirt. You have 48 hrs to get your entries in.  Post your entries in the comment section and I will pick the winner from there.So get cracking.
