Crowd shots from Mets-Dodgers May 6

@MLBJoe is in section 302

our buddy @jerielzuniga took this in “LF Reserve” (not sure what he means but I have a few adult beverages after work)

and this one around 9:30

Random thoughts:

Fred should appreciate traditional uniforms given that the Dodgers have worn more or less the same thing for 50+ years

Howie is awesome.  The way he calls a game you kind of know the result before it happens.  His intonation tips you as to whether a ball will be caught or not…unlike some Hight and Far fools.

Mets wearing lucky pinstripes

With a winning streak on the line, the Mets returned to their lucky uniforms


By the way it took me 20 minutes tom wrestle control of the Slingbox from my kids who were watching this crap at home:

Video of the infamous 1986 Mets-Reds fight!

Youtube is awesome today!

Kids, you’ve heard the tale of the rough and tumble gritty 1986 New York Mets and manly men like Ray Knight.

One night there was this fight and before the night was over Gary Carter was at third, and Roger McDowell and Jesse Orosco were taking turns in the outfield and the mound.

Whatever was in the air that night, almost every Mets fan I know was watching TV that night…and today Youtube provides us with video of the fight. Awesome.
