Dep no likey the spicy food. It’s quite amazing how much alcohol the man can put away without blinking but one plate of lamb vindaloo keeps him awake at night!

From my personal experience Ive learned to wait til the last minute. But, I also use stubhub. You can print your tix at home and its just easy as hell

I’ve heard waiting is the way to go, and you can find deals on stubhub, etc. but of course its riskier and you may get stuck buying something you dont really want and not really saving all that much

tough call!

i’m most likely going to use stubhub, but i haven’t seen any cheap deals so far.

LMAOOOooooOoOoo

it is kinda ironic

I think the years of drinking hard alcohol in my 20s and doing various other bad things have just nuked my stomach by this point. i used to be able to handle more food of that nature than i can now

the people i’m going with aren’t big baseballs fans, so i don’t want to splurge on tickets..cheap would be nice.

MetsBlog post:

Schneider is a bomb, he stinks. This is the kinda change we have needed. Let these “kids” show the MLB players how to play with heart and win because they want it more than the other team. Let the pitcher underestimate us and make him pay, let the other team get lax and think they have the game won before it starts. When our DL team comes back they can see how a real team plays and picks each other up.

kill me?

Then wait. Like I said, last night I picked up 4 tix for 15 bucks a pop and its Johan v Carp. The seats look descent too

It’s just amazing because I have terrible stomach issues and IBS and all these issues but spicy food doesn’t bother me at all.

But I feel like crap even if I don’t get drunk. Massive headaches and feel green to the gills.

Jodi, who rarely even watches baseball said this to me after the Castillo error and I cant get it out of me head “Errors like sneezing is contiguous. So is good play in the field.”

NYPost_Mets Jerry Manuel says John Maine could return as soon as Saturday depending on Maine’s bullpen session tomorrow. #Mets 6 minutes ago from web

NYPost_Mets Jose Reyes will hit and field ground balls today but still has no timeframe for a return. After the All-Streak break seems likely. #Mets 10 minutes ago from web

BOSTON – The author of a health book has sued Elisabeth Hasselbeck, accusing the co-host of ABC’s “The View” of plagiarism.

The lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court in Massachusetts, alleges that Hasselbeck lifted “word for word” content from a book written by Susan Hassett, a self-published author on Cape Cod.

Hasselbeck’s book, “The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide,” has appeared in the past month on several best-seller lists.

Hassett said in the lawsuit that she sent Hasselbeck a personal note and copy of her “Living With Celiac Disease” book as a courtesy after the television celebrity disclosed she had the illness last year.

Celiac disease is a digestive disorder associated with people who cannot digest gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley.

Hassett said Hasselbeck’s book “slavishly reproduces” lists and passages from her own work and includes inaccuracies about celiac disease that can be “misleading and dangerous” for people with the illness.

A lawyer for Hassett declined to comment Tuesday. A phone message left for Hasselbeck’s agent was not immediately returned.

The lawsuit seeks to block the sale of Hasselbeck’s book and asks that copies of it be withdrawn from distributors and stores.

I hate when they say after the A.S break. That doesnt exactly narrow it down. Sept 29th is after the A.S. break, lol

Francesa just asked Minaya if the Mets have any prospects that other clubs are asking for, after Fernando Martinez. Omar mentioned Holt, Mejia, Davis, Flores, and Valdespin. I was surprised to hear him mention Valdespin and not Tejada.

Francesa also asked him if he expects to sign a bat, and Omar said there aren’t any available.

best part: I got a B. lolololol

Wow Dep. NYU for the win. When I was in college the only time I ever came close was using Encarta a crap-load for one paper. But I cited the shit out of it. But I was basically quoting Encarta…a lot.

LOL

Got an A in it!

Honestly he is correct. I mean to give up guys for Dunn a guy you couldve just signed makes no sense, Holliday isnt exactly tearing it up with the A’s. I dunno. Im just hoping to stay close and get guys back. Billy Wagner and Pedro Dos out of that pen against the Philth is gonna be awesome. (Of course if Wags comes back 100%)
Comment posted by MyFavoriteBaseballSquadron on June 23, 2009 at 5:07 pm (#1016701)
“Sign a bat”, didn’t realize there were many FA bats available period.

There’s a market, just that Omar doesn’t have the chips to sit at the table.
Comment posted by metswin2009 on June 23, 2009 at 5:07 pm (#1016702)
I like that we arent the favorites and the Philth are god like. Will make it that much sweeter when we get everyone back and choke them.
Comment posted by metswin2009 on June 23, 2009 at 5:10 pm (#1016703)
We have the chips just not the ones that we are willing to give up (Reyes, FMart, Wilmer)

Someone on WFAN a few weeks ago called in and asked Francessa what it would take to get Pujols. He said., Wright, Reyes, Johan and half the minor league organization, lol
Comment posted by MyFavoriteBaseballSquadron on June 23, 2009 at 5:14 pm (#1016705)
I don’t know if people will be so high on the Phils if they continue playing poorly. Not even poorly as getting swept twice in a row at home but their pitching in really an issue. The starters have been a mess nearly the whole season, even moreso after Myers went down. Lidge was regressing and now his replacements aren’t faring much better. Not saying that the Mets can’t be given a mulligan for the amount of injuries they’ve sustained but if you get past the grit of the Phillies I think the NL East is well on its way to becoming a wide open contest.

BUT THEY HAVE GRIT!!!

I checked out the Philth starters and actually Joe Blanton has been there best pitcher the past month:

32.1 ip 2w 0l 30 k’s 2.78 era 1.14 whip.

There bullpen is awful. Makes our ‘08 pen look like the Yankees pen of 96, lol
