Baseball is a far more grueling sport than football. Pitchers pitch every 5 days. NFL QBs play every 7 days. Pitchers usually throw about 100 pitches/game. QBs throw 30-40 passes. Pitchers are always "throwing hard," even the off-speed stuff is going 75-80 mph and the arm motion is the same. QBs usually throw the ball less than 10 yards in the air.

Tickpick is my go-to anytime I'm looking for resale tickets. I even sold a ticket (Foo Fighters ... not Bills) once and that was also very easy! I actually sold it twice. The original buyer bought the ticket, but never completed the transfer. About an hour before the concert, I realized that I still had the ticket. When you sell a ticket, you don't get paid until the day AFTER the event takes place. I thought I was left holding the bag and miraculously, someone I was with knew someone in NYC who needed a ticket. So I sold it to HIM and transferred it to him very easily. Turns out, I STILL got paid for the first sale, so I unwittingly double-dipped. Anyway ... I think Tickpick is great.

@Just Jackstrikes again.

I am a man, a man I'll give you something that you won't forget I said you shouldn't have worn that dress

So Kaiir Elam was basically a 2nd round pick?

And in her eyes, you see nothing No sign of love behind the tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years

I am really worried about deGrom. The list of different injuries to his pitching arm is long. I think his mechanics are among the best in the league, but it just doesn't seem healthy for a guy with his build to consistently throw high 90s, low 100s, and his arm is suffering. I hope he can get AND stay healthy. I have a lot more confidence in Scherzer coming back and kicking ass for the remainder of the season.

I just wanna know who gets the statue.

Ahh, I see! Agreed! Survived the West Coast trip, going .500. I'll take it. Who'da thunk that the Braves could win 11 in a row, the Phillies could would 9/10 and the Mets are still leading the division by 5? Pretty sweet. Diaz (knock on wood) is having a nice season so far.

Nimmo and McNeil are home grown and before Eppler's time, but I agree that he has made some sweet moves. Canha reminds me of Paul O'Neill, back during the Yankees' dynasty. Just comes to play hard every day!

When I wake up early in the morning Lift my head, I'm still yawning When I'm in the middle of a dream Stay in bed, float up stream

Ordered mine on 5/22 and have heard nothing.

Well, she was just seventeen You know what I mean And the way she looked was way beyond compare So how could I dance with another (Ooh) When I saw her standing there

Oh, I knew your lyrics weren't JBV lyrics! I was just saying it would be easy for someone else to play off of them with JBV lyrics.

We'll be back in the high life again All the doors I closed one time will open up again We'll be back in the high life again All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in And we'll drink and dance with one hand free And have the world so easily and oh we'll be a sight to see Back in the high life again

*TIME OUT* As tempting as it might be to post Bon Jovi lyrics in response to this, there are unwritten rules!!! *GAME BACK ON*

And when I go away I know my heart can stay with my love It's understood It's in the hands of my love And my love does it good

What 'ya gonna do when the well runs dry? You're gonna sit right down and cry What 'ya gonna do when I say "bye-bye"? All you're gonna do is dry your eye I'm walkin', yes indeed, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me

In the morning I raise my head And I'm thinkin' of days gone by And the thing I want out of life is I want you, I want you

Same thing Brees did, LOL!

Oh, yeah, I'll tell you somethin' I think you'll understand When I say that somethin' I want to hold your hand

Yes.

Color me shocked.

Injury bug is doing its damndest to bring the Mets to earth. Alonso got plunked for the 7th time this season last night and got nailed on the wrist. X-rays were negative, but they're still looking at it. Marte tweaked a quad last night. Scherzer and deGrom have obviously been out. McCann, too. They've done well without Scherzer, deGrom and McCann - but any extended absences from Alonso and/or Marte will definitely concern me.

I've been doing the same calculation/projection for the Mets. As of now, if they play .500 ball the rest of the way, they'll have 90 wins. When that number reaches 100, then I'll feel comfortable with the lead they have in the division. Yankees are kicking ass, as they should be.
