Oh, he gave "Sports Talk" a plug. You had me thinking he gave the Pool a plug. I was already sweeping.

Well, Mother Nature tried but she couldn�t stamp out Daily News Mets beat writer Adam Rubin�s in-studio appearance on our commercial-free, no one makes a dime from it, Long Island Sports Talk radio show last night. A direct lightning hit to our antenna put us out from 9PM to 9:30PM, so instead of 2 hours of all Mets talk, you have 90 minutes of all Mets talk.

Here is the link to the interview:

Thanks for the link. Listened to about half of it so far --- which one is you?

[Guest Edgy DC]

]Rick Peterson coming back?

From where?

[patchyfogg]

Gwreck: I'm the first voice you hear when the show starts.

Edgy: I should have added "Is" in front of "Rick Peterson coming back?" Of, course, that depends on your definition of "Is."
