Halloween baseball pain.



That chicken suit man, a favorite fun face in the Mets crowd, is the face of New York suffering when this happens.

ADDED: When things go bad for the home team in baseball, the fans often look like they are praying.

Nobody appreciates a second baseman's fielding of hoppy grounders until they really need one.

Are we sure that isn't Pajama Boy in a different get-up?

There are a lot of areas of work where nothing seems notable and the only thing that gets attention is when you make that one mistake.

They wouldn't be in the WS if not for Murphy. His hot bat carried them past the Dodgers and the Cubs. That said, go Royals!

Tank said...

As Mike Francesca always says, the ball seems to find Murphy at the worst possible moment. Also, Mets' relief (before the ninth) is their weakness. He called it.

Not dead yet. Harvey will, or will not, be a hero by tomorrow.

BOO!

Go Royals! Take the Crown. I'll take Crown Royal.

The fans are praying.

Win or lose, it's impossible to maintain a shred of dignity while wearing a chicken suit.

I have no dog in that hunt, but ugh, it must have been brutal to be a Mets fan last night. Watching that error hurt. Murphy had to feel awful, though he did redeem himself by getting on base in the 9th. A "Cespedes for the rest of us" is the one who ended the game, and what a horrible way to end it.

I dont' think they're coming back from this, though I don't think they'll lose tonight.

I think "chicken suit guy" is also "pajama boy."

Although, pajama boy would probably never attend a baseball game....that's a little too masculine. Maybe it's his brother.

As some have said the Karma from the "Buckner" game (Mets v. Red Sox '86) finally came back to bite the Mets. Unlike the Sox the Mets still have a chance to win the Series - not that I want them to.

"pajama boy"-- my thoughts exactly

Murphy's Law!

Tradguy - as a former 2nd baseman, thank you.

traditionalguy said...

@mrs.e...They told me Third base was "the hot corner" because of line drives and a long but straight throw over, but playing Second Base was harder for me. The manager expected perfection, but mis-judging strange hops on the slower speed grounders and the pivot to first lead to the most errors.

Truly it is written, the pain of a New York sports fan is joy to every decent person anywhere. The only time one shall not smile at the suffering of Mets fans is when they are playing the Yankees, for the Yankee fan is brought forth directly from Satan's bowels.

That was my thought exactly. Pajama Boy going incognito!

PAJAMMA BOY's mutant cousin. Metrosexuals for the Mets. OF COURSE, OF COURSE! Ann, the Mets are losing because they are the team representing the Metrosexual political universe.

Seriously, the sooner the owners of the Mets sell their franchise to the Castro brothers, the sooner the Mets will start winning the World Series.

LOSERS! GO RED SOX!

@ Steven

lol. I guess that's why I if I had to choose, I'd pick KC for the WS win.
