"Mr. Met has only 3 fingers and a thumb on each hand but the gesture was unmistakeable."

Ha. That happened last night as the Brewers crushed the Mets.

I'd just like to say that when you have only 3 fingers, it's easier to tell which is the middle finger.

High four, Man.

I continue to be saddened by the coarsening of life in America. Yeah, this is not a big deal. But F-bombs and middle fingers have become standard expressions for the mildest levels of being upset.

Cut it out!

And get off my lawn!

Holy Cow! The Brewers are in 1st place.

Three fingers and a thumb are four. There is no middle.

We are dealing with this mater internally

Like, changing out who's inside the suit? I see what you did there.

You mean that doesn't mean he thinks you are #1? All this time feeling humble has been wasted.

Too bad he didn't have a severed Bernie Brewer mascot head to go with it. That would have been cool.

Or should I say "that would have been covfefe!"

Ann count. When they say the classical "middle finger" they count the thumb.

Hey, pay attention, Original Mike. They've been in first place for more than a week. Believe!

You get together the five Milwaukee racing sausages, Brat, Polish, Italian, Hot Dog and Chorizo, and have them kick the stuffing out of Mr. Met. Loser.

The Duluth-Superior Dukes minor league team had a ballhead mascot (The Duke) but little kids found him scary and would cry when he came out, so they had to retire the Duke. Maybe related to the scary clown thing.

New York's funny-looking mascot...

On behalf of America's funny-looking, I deplore the New York Mets insensitive choice of mascot. The funny-looking will lead a boycott of the Mets and their sponsors until a more appropriate, somber-looking mascot is adopted.

I would like to, but their current rank has much to do with the losing streaks of the Cubs and (until last night) the Cards. I watched part of the game on Tuesday night and the Brewers lost it despite the best efforts of the Mets to hand it to them. That ridiculously improbable error by the Mets shortstop plated 2 unearned runs for the Crew and tied the game and the Brewers still couldn't get it together and win.

I don't expect this to last, but they're certainly more fun to watch this season than I expected them to be.

I am certainly happy they hired David Stearns.

Brewers are beating the Mets right now.

Hey Kathy Griffin, here's job opening in entertainment. It's perfect, no one will know who you are. Don't pass this up. Use your head.

Wait. Don't use your head.

Birches म्हणाले...

Yeah, I it was unmistakable. I hope the former mascot has some marketable skills.

Unlike the other sports teams I follow, I have to admit to being a fair weather Brewer fan. I only follow if they're winning.

Listened to some of today's game while in the car. However it was difficult because I don't know the names of any of the players. "Shaw hits to right field". "Is that good? Is he on our team?"

If they keep winning, I'll learn the roster.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

Yeah, it's like they're all new people, xcept Braun.

I'm getting used to them though. Travis Shaw is a new favorite.

More and more, real life is turning into "The Simpsons."

It's actually the longest finger, not the middle finger, that carries the significance.

Good day to everyone out there and I am here to share a very great testimony of how I became free and happy today after all I went through with my Ex wife and her lawyer as they tried to end my life after my wife and her so called attorney tried to ruined my life. I was with my Ex wife for over 10years and we both have worked together that we had a joint account both in Europe and America because we loved each other so much that I never expected what happened to me later. My wife filed for a divorce and tried to claim all the money we worked hard for both in Europe and America including our only child Mira. So I almost gave up my life if not for the help of my very good friend who resides in Europe where I worked for over 7years and we have been good coworkers for years that introduced me to a hacker whom I contacted to help me hack into the accounts and move the money for me not to end up committing suicide at the age of 56 years. At first I was scared that if he falls and get caught what’s going to happen but my coworker assured me that his a genius and very calm and ready to listen to my problems so I proceeded with him to handle the hacking of the bank accounts to move some of the money for me without anyone getting to know about it till date. He was able to move %80 of the funds both in Europe and America via online banking system that I am now leaving in Australia trying to start up a new life and family too. Please I know too well there are lots of people going through this out there and I pray for you to be strong until you get to see this post that will change your life in less than a week of working with this amazing hacker. My name is Patrick Fisher and I tell you that his the best and very good hearted man to help you and I don’t know if he does any other hacking job but I can only testify for what a did for me. May God bless each and every one of you going through hard times in their homes today? be strong and I hope everyone tells their stories someday.
