My concerns about tonight’s Mets game

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

For the third day in a row, we are seeing precipitation. Last night’s Mets/Yankees game was concluded in a deluge. We had sunny skies for a while, but now more moisture is coming down. This is particularly of concern because John Maine is pitching, I’m quite worried that continuing inclement weather could obviously be a real hardship for him.

In other words…

The rain on Maine is plainly quite a pain.

  4. Close, but not quite up to the classic “Spahn and Sain and pray for rain”.

  7. I think he’s got it! My jove, I think he’s got it!

    What he has, I don’t know what it is or if there is a cure for it.

    Until later

  8. METS SUCK!! GO YANKEES!! LOSER!!!

    I’m trying to sound all sports fanny like.

  9. Hey, at least a bad pun is more clever than the myriad headlines talking about “The Yankee Clippard” today.

  11. That reminds me of an exchange from one of the Christmas episodes of “Frasier.” Frasier Crane has mail-ordered an educational toy called The Living Brain for his son, only to find that there’s been a little mixup in the shipping department:

    Frasier: These are for a Franklin Crane from Kennebunkport. Do you know what this means?

    Niles: Yes – the Cranes of Maine have got your Living Brain.

  14. Gee PAD, go any farther for that joke and you could watch the Dodgers…

  16. Sorry to get off-topic yet again, but I don’t watch baseball any more and part of the reason is because of guys like Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds. You know, shameless cheaters.

    Usually I’m against passing down judgment on somebody with only circumstantial evidence (as opposed to indisputable, concrete evidence) to go on, but IMO Bonds should have been kicked out of baseball years ago. He needs only 11 more home runs to break Hank Aaron’s record, and there’s a lot of season left.

    The man is turning FORTY-THREE in July. Even without all the BALCO stuff and the stories people have told and his admission that he did use something but that he didn’t know it was a performance enhancer at the time (sure), I can’t see how he can possibly be playing this well at that age without the aid of some kind of drug. Not only should his endurance be less than what it had been, but his reflexes should be slower and that should affect his bat speed.

    It’s frickin’ disgraceful. I really hope that Carlos Delgado is clean because I respect his beliefs and was a big fan of his when he was in Toronto, and as far as the senior circuit is concerned the Mets were always my favorite team (this was before I found out that Mike Piazza was a right-winger who threw a fit when he found out that Bill Clinton was in the same hotel as him and that Al Leiter, formerly one of my favorite pitchers, campaigned for Dubya), but I’m not going to give anybody the benefit of the doubt these days.

    I hate to politicize everything, but here’s the other reason I don’t watch any more:

    I’m sorry, some people are able to watch somebody they vehemently disagree with and still be entertained without being reminded of what an áššhølë that person is and getting angry. I am, unfortunately, not one of those people. “Stranglehold” by Ted Nugent is a kickass song, for example, but whenever I hear it these days it just causes me to remember what a dìçkhëád he is and really dampens my enjoyment of the music.

  17. Huh. Funny. I actually heard my braincells scream in protest as they died reading that pun.

  18. This reminds me of an old SNL skit when Edwin Neuman was the guest host. They had an news anchor parody of My Fair Lady, where he tries to get Brad Hall to speak better by talking about environmental concerns in the northeast…

    “Terrain in Maine is stained by acid rain.”
