MINDLESS DRIFTER ON THE ROAD.

I’d like to award the first MetsGrrl “Hello Kitty” Award to the following individuals:

1. BILLY WAGNER.
2. DAN UGGLA.
3. BRAD LIDGE.

I also dedicate the Neil Young original composition from which the title of this post comes from. (No Googling!)

I finally went to bed around 1am, and I remember the radio saying “...and we’re going to the 15th.” I also remember hearing the crowd screaming and hearing Justin Morneau was sliding into home and hitting the radio so hard to shut it off that I consider myself lucky that I still have a radio this morning...unlike TBF, who broke his clipboard - he always keeps score during the All-Star Game - after Wagner blew it. I wanted to include photographs of the carnage, but he duct-taped it together and I was waiting for the game to be over before posting.

I’ll leave my one other comment to my friend Lisa, a card-carrying member of Red Sox Nation. I think it says it all:

Did you stay up for that game?  Holy crap that was long.  Do you
remember where they were playing?  It is on the tip of my tongue…

Karen emailed me this morning that NY has this *other* baseball team
and they are called something crazy like The Metropolitans.  I told
her she was losing it and next she was going to tell me they are going
to put a man on the moon.
