Eddie Vedder.

you mean “fairweather baseball fan eddie vedder, who will curry favor with whichever team will let him hang out with them, and will suck up to a philly crowd by singing a song for the phillies and suggesting that they win it again this year.” i think the people in chicago might have something to say about that.

“I work with a lady whose husband died tragically after a fall where he hit
his head. He was 34 years old - a HUGE Mets fan and a new father of a
beautiful 12 week old baby boy. It hit all of us so hard around here. He
was such a big teddy bear with a heart of gold (and blue and orange). So
this weekend would have been his first father’s day, so Tonia (the
mom/wife) ordered an adorable Mets outfit for Hunter (little 3 month old)
and is having professional pictures taken to put out at the cemetery along
with a Mets pennant.”

Fantasy baseball played out between the Wu-Tang Clan and the E Street Band (Masta Killa with a knife-twisting two runs to end the tiebreaker)

Really Fantasty Baseball at Flip Flop Fly Ball

okay, let’s really break this down.

First of all, the E Street Band would never lose a home game played in Asbury Park, NJ.

About the only thing I wholeheartedly agree with is Nils as SS. Clarence should be catcher, Patti should be an outfielder. I would also put Garry at third base and have Danny in the outfield. Max is definitely CF.

I am disappointed that they got lazy on the stats for E Street. And Led Zep as umpires is just random. They could have gotten more creative on that.

All of this, of course, is based on extended interpretation of public personae, and my own rich internal fantasy life. But if you think I’m bad, wait until someone else in my house gets ahold of this.

Keith Hernandez was at the Oriole game last night.

I seriously urge all my followers to watch this video. It is seriously one of the biggest fails in baseball history, but left me laughing the ENTIRE time.

“18.08.85 East Rutherford, NJ, intro to “Glory Days”
“Are my people out there? (crowd cheers) good..(Bruce leads the crowd in the sing-along) alright, you sound good (crowd cheers)… now this is a song…about Father Time…about time’s winged chariot …it’s about getting old…oh yeah…I’m talking old, man…I’m talking, like, I’m old, I’m 35 now…anybody out there as old as me? (some cheers) hey, alright, alright, my brothers, my sisters (chuckles) but now the Big Man – let me see…well, the Big Man, he is…he is…he is much older than me (chuckles) but somehow he always maintains his youthful beauty all the time (crowd cheers)(?) Tom Saber, he’s forty, right? he got his 300th victory…that’s not so bad…anyway… gonna do this for all you old guys out there (chuckles) if you got your kids with you or if you’re married…you’re a husband (chuckles) like me, this is for you out there tonight (crowd cheers) are you ready, people? (crowd cheers) are you ready back there? (crowd cheers)…””

- Bruce Springsteen mentions Tom Seaver’s 300th Win Onstage in 1985

It’s not “Saber,” of course, but the guy who does this research is Finnish, there is no way he could know.

And yes, he was a few days off.

(I did not find this, someone else did)

It is in some ways a relief to know he was always a fairweather baseball fan.

“Many of the strange songs on the iPod are there not so much because I like them, but mostly because I like the bizarre and funny memories attached to them: Like, one time I saw Luis Castillo shaking his tail-feathers to the Snakes on a Plane song. Ergo, the Snakes on a Plane song is on my iPod. This seems perfectly logical to me.”

- Oh, it’s THOSE Girls

Anything that reminded me of Luis Castillo dancing would be banished to the hinterlands. However, I will remind myself that he still had his defensive skills when he was on the Twins.

probably the only member of the Mets right now I am am not unconditionally mad at (although I cannot ever be angry at Johan Santana, and find it hard to be upset with Carlos Beltran)

I know we should all be focusing our hate on the Phillies in preparation for the upcoming Philadelphia massacre, but I just saw that picture above, and read this piece at NESN.com.

All…

I liked this blog until I read this. I was hoping someone could refer to me to a non-sexist, non-misogynist, non-woman-hating Blue Jays blog. Because I’d like to read one.

going on thursday, very excited.
