Sunday Night Baseball Drinking Game - Mets vs. Phillies Edition

Bobby Valentine is quickly climbing his way up the "most annoying announcer list" so here is our Sunday Night Baseball Drinking Game to get you through the night. The "drink" rules will stay the same each week but the "chug" rule will change depending on who's playing.

Drink every time:

ESPN uses the behind the plate camera view
They use K-Zone during an at-bat (one drink per batter)
Bobby Valentine says something that makes you want to mute the TV
The ump and K-Zone disagree (2 drinks)

Chug:

Whenever the Phillie crowd boos

Extra chug rule for this week:

Whenever a Phillies fan barfs on another person

Mets Fire GM Minaya and Manager Manuel

I'm slightly depressed that baseball is coming to an end so I plan on keeping you posted on everything that is even small news in baseball for the months to come.

The Mets, who are really just an embarrassment of a franchise, have finally made a positive move. They announced Monday that both GM Omar Minaya and manager Jerry Manuel would not be returning to the organization. They will look to hire a GM first to help aid the process of hiring a new coach. The Mets were once a prized franchise and now they're just kind of a joke. Injuries, trades and domestic violence cases (looking at you K-Rod) have plagued the Mets and they have had two losing seasons in a row.


The Mets finished 79-83, a huge 18 games behind the Phillies in the NL East. On opening day, the Mets ranked 5th for the highest payroll with a total of $133 million.

ESPN Announcer Accidentally Says "Shitty Field"

Just because every good baseball post needs a hot girl to go with it, I give you Adriana Lima in a bikini. She has been on St. Barts for a Victoria's Secret photo shoot and loves spreading her legs.


Most of you probably won't even get this far down on the page but oh well...back to baseball. At least ESPN knows the New York Mets and their ballpark sucks. Why can't people hit home runs there? I don't want to see David Wright hit doubles all day, I want home runs. Citi Field, home to the Mets, is ranked 26th on the HR per game list (ahead of only PNC Park, Safeco Field, Oakland Coliseum and Target Field - aka 4 of the other most boring teams in baseball). ESPN has decided that Alex Rodriguez's quest for 600 home runs is oh so important that they need to switch to every at-bat he has until he hits it. Why? The man has roided his way to 599, who cares when he hits number 600. Albert Pujols should do it in the next 5-6 years and that is when I will care.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand. ESPN was broadcasting the Cardinals vs. Mets game when they switched to a Gayrod at-bat. When they switched back the ESPN announcer said, "A double for Alex Rodriguez, let's get you back out to Shitty Field." Of course he meant to say "Citi" Field but it must have been one of those Freudian slips. He said it, I was just thinking it! Everyone loves it whenever people curse on-air and it doesn't get bleeped. Enjoy.

Matt Garza Adds Another No Hitter to the Tally

That's right, another one got pitched and unfortunately it was the Rays. Last night Matt Garza pitched the first no hitter in the history of the Rays, leaving only the New York Mets and San Diego Padres without a no-no. Did they miss the memo that everybody is pitching them this year? What a bunch of losers. Garza threw 120 pitches, 101 fastballs. At least he's got a lot of variety.


More important Clay Buchholz, Ricky Nolasco and John Danks all got wins last night. What's the importance you ask? All 3 are on my fantasy team bitches!
