Rutgers & the Mets

Same here plus the fact we had one of the worse days at our first West Point game. What should have been a 1:45 hour trip turned into a 3:45 trip because of mismanaged traffic control. Unreal. The game was boring, and whomever said it's a great college football atmosphere can't possibly have attended a Rutgers home game. Rutgers game day blows away the West Point experience. It felt HS like to me. Leaving was just as bad another 2 hours just to get on a bus and get back on the road. Never, ever again. After the Rutgers- Louisville game in 2006, Rutgers did a complete revamp on busing lanes and traffic patterns and improved leaving time 100%. I hope when our Army invades foreign countries they have better planning,LOL. I was sitting on the bus with a Port Authority cop who works Met Life Stadium for Giant/Jet games directing traffic, and he was flabbergasted how bad the situation was.
Agree. I'm actually very glad I was at the RU game and didn't watch the Mets game on TV. I would have had a terrible night.
At least the NY Rangers won again. And my FCS favorite, James Madison, put up over half a hundred points on yet another opponent and may be ranked #1 (tallest midget) this week.
All I know is the dodgers owe the mets a leg.
I say send harvey out, put one in the ear of their third hitter of the first inning while Matz warms up in the pen.
This way, the mets pay the Dodgers back, harvey doesn't endanger his precious arm by pitching, mets fans regain their love for harvey, and the mets gain an advantage going forward in the series. Mets win, Harvey wins, the fans win, Boras wins.

The Mets loss was a travesty decided by old men - Torre and his crew - in a bunker.
Torre was clueless in the press conference as usual and to award 2b to someone who did not even touch the base and who should have been called out on interference - is a sham.
Hopefully the Mets fire Collins after this year and the old geezer can join Clueless Joe in the bunker....
The daily blunders of Collins last night:
1. Not arguing his ass off for interference. Further I don't even think the old geezer was aware it was interference as all I know the Met players in the locker room after the game and Alderson and Ricco were irate and Collins is just agreeing with the umps. There's a reason why the old geezer has never won until this year and it starts between the ears...
2. Keeping Reed in to pitch to Adrian Gonzalez when you have Niese available.

I'm not really going to defend Collins here, but I've noticed that there's a lot less arguing in general now that replay is in place, particularly after the first couple of managers who got heated up about a replay call got tossed. My sense is that the umps essentially tell the managers "there's nothing I can do now" and the managers have realized that's true.
Well, the Rutgers loss stung, and the men's soccer team losing really stung, but the Met's losing was great for me. The only thing better is the crying of the Met's fans. And I couldn't believe that a writer in the Record....Klapisch ....wrote that "the Mets were incensed at what looked like a deliberate attempt to injure their shortstop". I thought that was one of the dumbest statements I've ever seen in the Record. And that's saying a lot. DELIBERATE ? REALLY ?
As for RU, I thought they played pretty good and the crowd was excellent. Michigan St. made some big plays and the fact that they had a senior qb and we had a rookie I think ultimately decided the game. But anyone who saw the game had to come away thinking things weren't as hopeless for RU football as was thought. Playing aggressively on D was nice to see too. And the guys I know who took RU and the points sweated it out but now like RU more than they did before Saturday.
It was also strange seeing such a large percentage of the crowd at the Rose Bowl celebrating a Mexico win over the U.S. team. But they were the better team. The USA has a ways to go yet in soccer.

I thought it could be a rough night coming in, however, both teams made it interesting. So while it was bad, things went better than I expected. The Mets will rebound and they have the right guy on the mound Monday. He's already nailed Mr. Utley with a fastball this year and that may be repeated. There has been a history of the former Phillie taking a hard, late ,, questionable slide into Tejada. Earlier this year, ;Harvey was told to intentially walk Utley in a game situation. Harvey nodded his head and then proceeded to fire one into Utley's back. "Why walk him when I can throw at him". I thought it was the best game RU has played this year, they showed a lot of toughness and some smarts ..which has been missing this year. They need to learn that they have to play like that every week, not just when a top team comes into your place.
And the Devils too. Total loss for me and one of those losses is let's just say tainted.
Me too. However, I can handle the Rutgers loss much easier since I had zero confidence that they would pull it out.
