   i plan to boo delgado for the uneasy relationship he will have with his child during her teenage years. he is a good dad now, but i think he will start to slip when she starts dating boys. she will wish mike jacobs was her dad.

   lolpen

   currently, there is no such thing as a bases-clearing walk. ollie attempted this, but it is not possible.

   HAHAHA…I get the feeling he might figure out how to do it before the season is over

   I’m quite sure Delgado’s daughter will wish Nady was her father.

   load the bases and then wild pitch on a ball four that rolls to third base, DW double taps and throws it to RF. ryan church throws it to journeyman catcher du juor, but it goes off his brand new mitt.

   LEAVE HIM ALONE

   I thought Delgado’s kid was a boy.

   Jessica, don’t let the facts get in the way of a reason to boo.

10. Comment posted by Danny on April 30, 2008 at 10:43 pm (#676583)

    Via MC Lite:

    During a minor-league rehab game for St. Lucie tonight, Ramon Castro left after the fourth inning with what was described as ‘an injured leg.’

    Castro had been 2 for 2 with two RBI before leaving the game.

    According to Bill Metsiac, a reader of MetsBlog, Castro called the team’s trainer out during the fourth inning, “and they slowly left the field together.”

    is it still a curtain call when you implore a guy to come out of the dugout for additional booing?

    PJ, this was High-Sterical!


14. Comment posted by pj on April 30, 2008 at 10:46 pm (#676588)

    she isn’t born yet.

    i boo him every day that he fails to fertilize that egg.

    maybe it would help if his wife had both ovaries on the right side.

    Han, Zod! Anyone get banned that I should know about? Any have to be talked off the ledge?

    It’s great that you guys are all on here being normal tonight. Or at least what passes for normal on the Geek. I was a little afraid to peek at the site.

    God knows eating “vegetables” has sucked the fat off of Prince Fielder’s bones.

    excellent ramon. your thoughts?

    the HD looked glorious. they gave away too much! the first scene with ed norton in the tunnel and trapped and tim roth walking right up to him was awesome.

    i’m psyched. that n iron man should be glorious


30. Comment posted by pj on April 30, 2008 at 10:59 pm (#676603)

    athena, game thread was interesting. i think people are letting this one roll off of their backs.

    I think the Hulk will be very good. His face is a bit too CGI-ish, but eveything else is shaping up nice–espeically the end fight scene.

    I am on my tomorrow around 12:15 to see if Iron Man rules.

34. Comment posted by Kneel Before Zod! on April 30, 2008 at 11:01 pm (#676607)

    he looks really really different, very tough. i liked it. agree on the face, but at least he doesnt have flames on his arms or something lol

    enjoy iron man, let me know what ya think!

    I find the blowouts easier to get over quickly, myself.

    LOL, someone made a mention that the Hulk kind of looks Hispanic. I thought that was funny….

    im not sure there’s anything i enjoy watching more than a sobbing drunk meathead


43. Comment posted by Jessica on April 30, 2008 at 11:07 pm (#676616)

    I agree with Danny. There’s humor in the absurdity of suck that is found in a game like the one the Mets played today. There’s only agony in losing the way the Braves did tonight.

44. Comment posted by mookie03 on April 30, 2008 at 11:07 pm (#676617)

    agreed danny…that and i didn’t see any of the game. weekday day games are very easy to get over, it just feels like an off day to me

    lol Jess - 0-9!!!!


46. Comment posted by Dep on April 30, 2008 at 11:09 pm (#676619)

    there’s absolutely nothing to be said after a game like this, and all the negative nellies are soooo disgusted they cant even look at a PC right now! :-p

    zod, the best part is coming up. strap in.

47. Comment posted by The Chinatown Chicken on April 30, 2008 at 11:09 pm (#676620)

    The thing with a blowout too is that you already got over it by the time the game is over. You’ve already accepted the probablity of defeat by the 7th-8th inning when your team is losing by more than 10 runs.


48. Comment posted by pj on April 30, 2008 at 11:09 pm (#676621)

    i want to go to the thursday day game v nats at shea!!!!!

52. Comment posted by Athena on April 30, 2008 at 11:17 pm (#676625)

    Braves lost a heartbreaker today? Sweet.

    I agree about getting over the blowouts. Though I didn’t really get to absorb it, since I was not on the internet all afternoon or night. Maybe I still have to go through my seven stages of grief. ;-)

    Anyway, just want to check in. I have a very early flight to Iowa (!) tomorrow. Talk to you all in a couple of days.

    AND JOEYS GONNA BE GONE, MAN.

    His club is the first since the 2000 Houston Astros to lose its first nine one-run games.

    Ouch, imagine their record if they won half of those games.

    Excellent, Dep. That does make me smile!

61. Comment posted by Danny on April 30, 2008 at 11:23 pm (#676633)

    Ironically, pj turned 13 today.

    That’s how many runs the Mets were supposed to score tonight.

    that aint respecting it fully.

    Yep, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 1 more group project due tomorrow night, a take-home final over the weekend, a final exam next Wednesday, a paper due on the 12th, and I am done with college. Then I have an actuarial exam on graduation day and another at the end of the month - I already have the first exam under my belt, but if I can pass at least one of these it will really help in my job search.

    What are studying to become Jess?

72. Comment posted by The Chinatown Chicken on April 30, 2008 at 11:38 pm (#676645)

    The Yankees also put starter Phil Hughes on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday night with a strained right oblique muscle.

    Hughes lasted just 3 2/3 innings in a 6-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night. He allowed six runs and eight hits to drop to 0-4 with a 9.00 ERA after six starts.

    “We obviously went through a tough time last night and he’s struggling so we’ve had some discussions earlier today and we’ll get together and have some further ones,” general manager Brian Cashman said earlier Wednesday.


73. Comment posted by Jessica on April 30, 2008 at 11:38 pm (#676646)

    I majored in actuarial science and finance, and I’m studying to become an actuary.

74. Comment posted by The Chinatown Chicken on April 30, 2008 at 11:41 pm (#676647)

    Ha, you are actuary. I’m sure assessing risk management comes in handy as a baseball fan.

75. Comment posted by The Chinatown Chicken on April 30, 2008 at 11:43 pm (#676648)

    The future is bright for you it seems.

    In 2002, a Wall Street Journal survey on the best jobs in the United States listed actuary as the second best job, while in previous editions of the list, actuaries had been the top rated job (Lee 2002). The survey used six key criteria to rank jobs: environment, income, employment outlook, physical demands, security and stress. A similar survey by U.S. News & World Report in 2006 included actuaries among the 25 “Best Professions” that it expects will be in great demand in the future (Nemko 2006).
