At the beginning of this series, I told myself, just get one in ATL and sweep Miami. It was going to be a tough task to take 2 of 3 from a team wanting to clinch as soon as possible and on Chipper Jones' last homestand, (though we have handled him for 20 something At Bats.) Luckily, the dramatic occurred Friday Night.
A person I know works on the show "Impractical Jokers" on TruTV. If you haven't seen it, it's hysterical. Four lifelong friends dare each other to embarrass themselves in public. It's a Candid Camera style show, where three of them watch the other while they tell him what to do or say through an earpiece. If they don't do what the others say, they get a "thumbs down" for the bit. Whoever has the most "thumbs down" by the end of the episode is the Big Loser of the evening, and gets a big punishment.
Here is an example of how funny the show can be.
It's gets even better from there. Tonight is the Season 2 premiere. Right now, they are running last season's episodes until the new one is on at 10. I know none of you are watching the Mets tonight (unless you're watching a recorded encore or MLB.TV or somethin') so, watch "Impractical Jokers", or at least DVR it. If you read this after it airs, do yourself a favor and go searching for the next air date on whatever channel TruTV is on your cable provider.
Hope you're all enjoying the day off of Metropolitan Baseball before they roll back in to face the Braves and Larry's Swan Song.
