The day began with drinks at the lovely Lounge 47. On the menu: pleasant summer drinks; exchanging commenter names and "how far did you go to get to LIC?" tales; and really cheap liquor. Seen: BowdenBowdenBowden, Lady Andrea, Peter Cavan, "Deadtern" Rob Iracane, Sportsgirl365 and many more... guys.
Sitting at the Mets game in the Deadspin section, sporting his well-known beard: former Twins closer Jeff Reardon, apparently out of jail since that whole robbing a jewelry store thing has blown over. Jeff revealed that he now travels the country freelancing as a blogger by the name of Business or Leisure. Sitting directly behind him was Deadspin editor Will Leitch, sans his traditional black t-shirt, instead rocking a "snaps" shirt. Is he starting a new trend among the elite sports blog editors? A very exclusive group that consists of him and, um, well... just him, probably.
Who was that Mets pitcher that once stated "chicks dig the long ball."? None other than slugger Tom Glavine, who was seen at Shea Stadium rounding the bases on Friday night after yet another big hit. Pitching is fine, but pitchers who can hit get the ladies. And ladies who can pitch get the hitters. Hidies who can lade get the bitchers. Oh my God, I'm wasted.
Seen: Wearing a t-shirt with the letters "Metchicks" emblazed on it, with "Deadspin.com also appearing on the tee? None other than Ladies blogger Metschick.
Blind Item: Which famous sports blogger and #1 seed in the Hottest Blogger Bracket was spotted moving in on The Hotness after Will Leitch left Shea? Best. Hint. Ever. No word on whether or not he had a chance to pen a second "Quickie" that evening....
Raucous time had by SML, The Marathon Man and his friend from McGill, thanks in part to many overpriced Shea Stadium Bud Selects. "No more endorsing weak crap", said SML to Jay-Z. "I can't hear you, as my ears are stuffed with cash money," replied Jay-Z.
Spotted later that evening, in Long Island City Bar, in the backyard garden? New York Senator Chuck Schumer*, smoozing with the political crowd and sipping some Long Island City Iced Tea (not).
Meanwhile, the Deadspin ECPP moved over to notorious frat boy (or B&T) bar The Big Easy. Who says bloggers can't get down and boogie? Um, okay, yes, that's my hand raised. But I guess you all will just have to prove me wrong.
Seen: on a warehouse wall in the LIC by SML while heading home: Former TV and comic book star The Maxx. This way to the Egress, right Mr. P.T. Barnum? What ever happened to The Head? What every happened to The Pitt?
Seen: in Long Island on Saturday morning, at the Sayville High School graduation? None other than Senator Chuck Schumer**. Um, wait... SML has the same social calendar as the Senator? Also seen: Tommy Lee Jones, Brett Favre, De La Soul, and two/thirds of Hanson. Favre announced that he may attend next year's graduation, but will wait until May 2008 to make up his mind.
*Absolutely true.
**Still true. Senator Schumer was all over the place this weekend. He's working for New York, even on the weekends.

Hmmm, good guess. Maybe The Hotness (Becky) can give us a positive confirmation on that blind item!
Becky, anything to add from that night? You can share your low opinion of SML now that you've met him and some of his more unsavory associates....
you guys are like 16 year old girls...
Dan and I are like real life friends.
he's still married.
I'm still dry-spellin.
now grow up and if something crazy happens that anyone would be interested in, I will feel free to share, as always.
The Marathon Man told me I was cavalier about my ass. I am still trying to figure out what that means.
It's all tongue-in-cheek fun, Ms. Hotness. I hope you aren't offended or anything....
I was just answering the riddle. I could care less, but I do enjoy a good riddle from time to time.
becky, you get sensitive when peole talk about you just like every other woman I know. relax, yo
I didn't mean YOU, Kobra Kai, I meant SML & his cohorts, which, had you seen them in action, would make perfect sense to you.
so YOU relax...yo.
Yeah, those guys are dicks. Except for the cool one's. I'm back to relaxing now.
