The Mets Police

Mets Intern #5 didn’t sent me the game notes, come on guys wtf, I needed them today. Fortunately I have Twitter Embed Technology!

The @Mets are also the first team since 1894 to win a game by 20+ runs and lose a game by 20+ runs in the same season.

They had never done either one before this season. #LGM

So that. That’s a lot of information.

SLACKISH REACTION: Apparently the Mets scored a lot of runs! And I have no idea what happened in the second game. I wrote this very late last night as I am out of town. I love that my blog is so ridiculous you come here to not find out how the games went.

David Wright played for PSL again and I am alarmed. I mean I thought he was dead so I am glad he’s playing at all, but I don’t see much happening at the plate. Recap here.

Anyway baseball can eff off with this Facebook stuff.  I didn’t even see the game and I hate it.  They handed in the THREE WORST HOME RUN CALLS IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME….and here they are.

Anyway I wrote this last night, and am passing out after eating some 11pm ice cream which seemed like a good idea at the time.  I probably should have just asked @nikometsplus to sub for me today as I didn’t think I’d be out that late.

NOT LINKING:    I’m just gonna blindly hate on whatever the AAIMBR has today.  Probably some dumb ass trade or whining that Alonso isn’t up.

Going to bed.  Good morning to you.  I’m still asleep.

 

People were getting mad at me on twitter for saying DW wasn’t driving the ball.  You watch, you decide.

I also find it interesting we’ve reached the point where each individual at bat doesn’t get its own tweet.

I’m out of town, but my man Nick looked out for me and sent these my way. As you know it was Facebook’s turn to air the games.

Here’s Scott Braun with the call…

There’s nothing wrong with it, it just kind of sucks. At least he didn’t Trackwall but….

Verdict: Sterling

OK surely a grand slam to cap a 10 run inning would lead to a good call…

We’d say this is the icing on the cake of a 10-run inning.

But this is way more delicious than icing. pic.twitter.com/qQzkTWUGdQ

Wow that sucked.

Verdict: Sterling

And wait til you hear this one…

Verdict: This is the worst home run in the history of the sport and Facebook Baseball Must Die

I hope the millennials enjoyed the game with all the cool comments and smiley face emojis or whatever the eff baseball did today. Holy S this sucked.

A reminder that MLB has placed game one of the doubleheader on Facebook only (NO TV).

Nobody like this.  NOBODY.  Not us old people.  Not the millennials. Not the Mets (except for the part where they get Facebook money). Not the people who pay cable subscriptions for SNY.  Not the people who pay MLB.TV for “every” game asterisk asterisk.

Be ready for terrible announcing and dumb-ass enjoy hearts scrolling up your screen.  This was awful last time, and I am glad I am too busy today to even attempt to interact with it.

Game two is on SNY.

 

Are you familiar with “Viris Guy?”   There’s someone on twitter who keeps creating accounts, and if you mention Jose Reyes this guy chimes in and says something along the lines of Reyes having ruined the Mets etc etc and almost always specifically calls the guy a Virus.

Virus Guy should send me some coins in the tip jar.

At some point this season I found the entire thing hilarious and started just calling #7 “The Virus” – and it seems to have caught on in a fun silly way, not the obsessed way Virus Guy does.

I a actually hoping that The Virus comes back next season only because I like typing The Virus.

Now don’t get me wrong, I NEVER liked The Virus as a player.  I didn’t even like him the first time when you guys thought he was someone from a Meat Loaf song.  the Jose of your dreams that would walk, steal three bases and then do a coordinated dance with Pedro Martinez.  I didn’t even like that guy – so believe me I don’t like the guy who ran out the door to the Marlins and then had some interesting domestic situation headlines I want no part of in life or on my team.

Anyway, I am not sure what the point of this article is/was other than I enjoy typing The Virus, and the whole thing makes me laugh, and I’m on an airplane today.
