I didn't know that Doug Flynn was one of the Defenders. http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/4/10755-2515-11846-1-marvel-feature_super.jpg

Well, if it could move to Queens...

What the Mets should do: What we could do, theoretically, if prepared with a good stencil:

Good point. I missed a few innings last night, and misread the box score. I thought it was Putz who pitched the inning with the one-run lead, but it was Parnell. The point I had given to Putz has been reassigned to Parnell.

Perez 4 Beltran 2 Delgado 1 Wright 1 Reyes 0.5 Murphy 0.5 Parnell 1

I think the Mets Hall of Fame should be located in Dodger Stadium.

If such a policy exists, it's insane. Do they also require people to take off their caps during the national anthem?

Benjamin Grimm Apr 16 2009 07:57 AM What the Mets should do: What we could do, theoretically, if prepared with a good stencil: Edgy DC Apr 16 2009 08:14 AM Best part of that catch is that his knee is down, his hand is down, and the ball isn't anywhere within the perimeter of his glove yet. How many "diving" catches occur where the man actually toches down before leather hits leather. I swear he slid a foot or two before the ball hit the glove.

Actually, though, I was suggesting something a little more polished for what the Mets should do. batmagadanleadoff Apr 16 2009 08:37 AM I'd like for the Mets to build an exact size replica model of Shea Stadium over the exact same spot where the real Shea Stadium formerly stood.

Yes, the Giants and Dodgers are in California now, but Mel Ott, Christy Mathewson, John McGraw, Bill Terry, Pee Wee Reese, Jackie Robinson, Wilbert Robinson, Zach Wheat and all those other guys still belong to New York.

Do you really think a Jackie Robinson rotunda would make sense in LA, a city that Jackie never played in?

Is the lot still open for commuter parking on non-event days? I remember a few times years ago I'd park my car at Shea and then take the subway into Manhattan. And if that option is still available, what are the hours? If it's staffed and patrolled 24 hours, it might be harder to find an opportunity. But if the gates close at some point, it might be hard to get out of there when the task is complete.

I'd be willing to design a Ron Swoboda stencil. Along with some blue, orange, and while spray paint I think a stylized diving Ron could be applied fairly quickly.

Revised totals. I noticed that someone awarded a point to Livan Hernandez, even though he didn't play in the game.

Most home runs hit at Shea landed where no fans were sitting.

I'd like to see a life-size image of Ron Swoboda's diving catch embedded into the parking lot in the spot where it occurred.

I quit WFAN four years ago, and never looked back. There's so much better stuff on the radio. For your own individual sanity, I urge you to stop listening.
