So it doesn’t get mixed in with the earlier thread, here is a thread specifically designed to discuss today’s episode of “Young Justice” by yours truly.
I would ask that no one post until 11 AM Pacific (2 PM Eastern) in order to allow for West Coast airing.

Every Friday, without exception, is Cartoon Night at the David household. It began a couple years ago when Cartoon Network had THE premiere line-up of cartoons on Fridays. They had programs like “Ben 10” and “Symbiotic Titan” and “Young Justice” and lots of other cool programs. Over time they’ve either dumped them or relocated them to Saturday morning (although the frequently unwatchable “Clone Wars” remains), but the tradition has remained since Disney still gives us shows like “Phineas and Ferb.” And we fill in the rest of the night either with animation we recorded from earlier in the week, and the occasional offering from our DVD collection.
So last night, unaware that Johan Santana was making history, we were blissfully watching stuff off the DVR, followed by a DVD of “Waking Sleeping Beauty” about the resurgence of Disney animation.
To make up for it, I watched the “Mets Fastforward” recap show this morning and intend to watch the full rebroadcast today at noon. I’m bummed that I didn’t see it live; on the other hand, I’m superstitious enough to think that if I had, then the ump would have grown a set of eyes and that liner down the third base line would have been called fair. Personally, I’m not surprised. What ump wants to get the Jim Joyce treatment if he blows a call that goes against the pitcher in that kind of situation? If the replay shows it was a fair ball, well, the Cards had plenty of opportunities to score (including the five walks). If the replay shows it was a foul ball but he called it fair, he has to deal with angry NYC fans, which can’t be fun. So I figure if he has a shred of doubt, he’ll side with the pitcher, like a tie going to the runner. Besides, the Cards lost by eight runs, so it made no difference; I can’t begin to count the number of incredibly close games the Mets have lost because of blown calls.
So kudos to Santana for the game and the Mets fielders who made some spectacular plays.
Now if only I’d seen it.
