Things To Note While Wondering, "OH MY GOD KING, THAT'S THE RAPTURE'S MUSIC!":

-This was the 6th Annual Mets Fans vs Yankee Fans game, the 1st Annual Rapture Bowl, the 1st ever night baseball game and the first ever game played at Hellgate Field aka Whitey Ford Field aka "This is the 'the hood", really?" Field aka Little Kids Sexing Each Other Behind the Fence Field aka Random Dudes Playing in Right-Center Field...Field aka Hector's Eyelid Memorial Park.

-The palpable fear that the lights at Hellgate would not turn on were allayed when, well into the game, the lights flickered on and OMFG WE PLAYED BASEBALL AT NIGHT!!

-Alvin the Baseball Gear Terrorist pulled a reverse flake. He was simultaneously punished and rewarded by being banished from the Mets squad and placed on the victorious Yankee Fans + Wilson & Tiffany team.

-THE RAPTURE was supposed to take place this day (according to some loon in which far too many idiots believed) but WE PLAYED ON. We may have been among the billions LEFT BEHIND but fuck that noise, we had ourselves some NIGHT BASEBALL!!!

-The only thing that WAS raptured away this day was a piece of Hector's eyelid when, while receiving an errant throw from right field, he lost the ball in the lights (OMFG LIGHTS!!) and had it deflect off his glove and right into his left eye. While Hector was able to receive care at the field ("there ya go, I got it" -Alvin, after cleaning Hector's non-injury having hand) and later, at a hospital, he missed an undoubtedly epic time at the strip club/bar/diner/fast food restaurant that was had by the people LEFT BEHIND.

-TYK = Mr. October. Wilson = Mr. November. Cruzer (as his wife will attest) = Mr. Noche.

-Roger, catcher for NYMF, made a couple throwing errors on balls hit in front of home plate. In an attempt to make amends, he fielded a nubber hit by Jose in the bottom of the 8th and, in lieu of lobbing the ball to first, Roger ran after Jose and tagged him (3/4 of the way down the line) for the final out of the inning. Much "hahahahahahaha...what a dick" ensued.

-In the momentum-shifting 7th inning, Pat had the ballin'est-ass slide ever as he seemingly glided across the plate to score the go-ahead run.

-Speaking of Pat: Earlier in the game, Tiffany, Wilson and TYK were mulling a nickname for Pat that did not rhyme with his name. Bat was out, as was Cat. Gato was out because it's taken. Then, someone asked what was the Chinese or Japanese word for cat. Tiffany responded with "meow meow." Laughter ensued.

-Baseball After Dark!!!

-Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society...YF+WT&TYK played solid defense, committing only 3 errors while turning two inning-ending double plays--both involving Joe Materrorist. With one out and two runners on in the 7th, Roger hit a sac fly to Mike in LF; Mike's throw home was cutoff at the mound by Cruzer, who then threw out Joe, trying to advance, at third.

-With one out and the bases loaded IN THE FOLLOWING INNING, Joe Materrorist hit a grounder to Cruzer, who fired to Wilson at home, who then, with all his strength, lobbed the ball to Mark at first to double up Joe...again.

-Joe took solace in the fact that HOLY SHIT WE WERE PLAYING NIGHT BASEBALL!

-Mike's eternal question of WHERE ARE THE BLAIRS?!?! was finally answered when THE BLAIRS arrived shortly before the game.

-In stark contrast to his late-inning tomfoolery, Joe Materrorist made a nifty rolling catch to unnecessarily rob the lovely Tiffany Blair of an infield hit. Commenting after the game, Joe claimed that he was "an equal opportunity terrorist."

-He didn't really say that.

-Hector's fine, thanks for asking.

-Hey remember when we used to remove pitchers after their second hit-by-pitch? Fuck you, neither do I.

-Everyone on NYMF recorded at least one hit except for Jackson.

-YF+WT&TYK's 8-3 hitters combined to go 0-for-18 but with 5 walks and 7 runs scored.

-People named Brian combined to go 1-for-10 with 8 k's.

-The #8 hitters combined to go 0-for-10 with 7 k's.

-There were no balls hit into the East River/Long Island Sound. It's my belief that this was due to a combination of the humidity, a lack of talent and the baseballs being soaked/caked with dirt by its 3rd or 4th use. It looked as though Jason Blair almost sent one out in the 3rd, but the ball fell short of the fence for a single. Pat also almost hit one out in the 3rd, but his ball died right at the warning track.

-Including his team's win on May 28th, J. Cruzer is on a 4-game captaincy winning streak. Much like the reign of El Gato the Terrible, This. Must. End.

-Contrary to what was previously indicated, individual win-loss records will NOT be included until the next game Wilson plays in because fuck you, that's why.
