I know that television rules the sports world but you would think two high powered baseball clubs like the Mets and Highlanders would have doubled teamed the Used Car Salesman to let him and the dickheads at FOX know that playing a day/night double header on a Friday in the summertime is beyond ridiculous. Traffic? What traffic? The Grand Central Parkway and the Deegan are a parking lot on a normal day now add tens of thousands of fans in cars going to the Bronx and Shea and the police vehicles and other emergency vehicles that will be involved in this endeavor today makes the 1 train to the SI Ferry and my living room look like the best bet to view today twin bill.

Note: Mets Merized Online feel sthe same way.

I can’t get to work up about this series but reading the fish wraps you’d think the Highlanders were head and shoulders better than the Mets. In reality as bad as the Mets have been this year they are only 3 ½ games (2 in the loss column) back of the Phloundering  Phillies  while the Highlanders are 5 ½ back of the World Champion Boston Red Sox who show no sign of faltering.  Again as much as the Mets spin their wheels this season they have the better shot of a post season berth than the Bronx Bastards. Dan Giese and Sidney (Olde English) Ponson. HA HA HA HA HA How fucking pathetic.

Yesterday I posted a story on Ike Davis and the Cyclones acting like fools toward a reporter from Hudson County as it turns out the story was a bunch of bullshit as we found out via the excellent work of Mark Healy of Gotham Baseball and Toby Hyde of Mets Minor League Blog. By the way Davis went 1-4 (double) in the Cyclones 4-2 win over Aberdeen. First round pick RHP Brad Holt pitched 5 innings of no hit ball with 1 BB and 6 K’s and Ryan Church on a rehab start went 3-3 but had some stiffness in his legs and may play tonight at Coney Island before being activated tomorrow at Shea.

Howard Megdal has a great column today in the New York Observer on Jerry Manuel being the opposite of Willie Randolph and that is a good thing.

All you Captain Red Ass fans, checkout this post of P-Lo’s post game rant that shows that Paulie still has a passion to play the game but is frustrated with the attitude and mistakes that his young teammates in D.C. have shown. Carry on old solider.

Attention All Mets Season Ticket Holders: YOU”RE NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
