Last nights game between the Mets and the Cleveland Indians was stomach churning bad. That first inning pitched by Jon Niese made me wish that Shaun Marcum was still with the team (well not really). All I know is that after viewing last night’s game, I have finally come to terms with the fact that this Mets team, the way it is currently structured, has pretty much no shot to finish the season remotely close to a respectable .500 record. In order for them to finish .500 they would have to go 19-3 the rest of the way which we all know would need a miracle to happen.
So hear area few songs that I think pretty much fittingly describes last night’s game.
1. “Welcome to My Nightmare” by Alice Cooper
2. “Indians” by Anthrax
3. “Run to The Hills” by Iron Maiden
4. “One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer” by George Thorogood (because I sure needed it !)
5. ” No More Mr. Niese Guy” also by Alice Cooper
6. “Sleepwalk” by Santo and Johnny (because essentially that’s what this team did last night).
7. “Shot Down In Flames” by AC/DC
8. “Sounds of Silence“ by Simon and Garfunkel
9. “If” by ’70’s Top 40 friendly band, Bread (I have dubbed this the official post game song for Terry Collins)
And lastly at number 10:
“Cleveland Rocks!” by Ian Hunter – well because last night they did !
So do you agree/disagree ? Any songs that you think that I am wrong about or that you think describe last night’s lesson in futility any better ? If so please leave your suggestions in the comments section below.
And with that said….. HERE COMES THE INFAMY !!!!
Mets alumni celebrating a birthday today includes:
Mets coach from ’64-’67 and briefly in ’74, Sheriff Robinson would have been 82 (1921). Robinson also managed the Mets minor league teams, The Quincy Jets in 1963 and the Buffalo Bisons in ’65.
Middle reliever from the ’89 season, Don Aase is 59 (1954). Aase didn’t fare well in his lone season as a Met. He went 1-5 with a 3.94 ERA in 49 appearances that season – But he had one of the best last names in baseball history.
Current Mets closer, Bobby Parnell turns 29 (1984). Hopefully he will be back in prime health next season so that he can anchor a hopefully revamped bullpen.
Mo Vaughn‘s favorite Rap group is The Fat Boys !!!
