Andre Ethier had a pretty good thing going when the Los Angeles Dodgers took the field vs the lowly New York Mets on Saturday night. Ethier had a 30 game hitting streak going strong and had some pretty sick numbers to start the season. Ethier sported a .367 average to go along with his .434(…)

We’ve made it pretty obvious that we LOVE competitive eating here at FloppingOut, so when I came across this little tidbit by ESPN.com’s New York Mets beat writer Adam Rubin, I felt the need to share it. The Mets were in Philadelphia this past weekend, but for me at least, that was an afterthought. On(…)
