    I just got a call from the MeiGray group. My sign measures 23 inches by 64 inches and weighs 32 pounds. It's too heavy for UPS to ship, so I have to decide whether I'm going to go pick it up myself, or have it shipped by a private trucking company. They're going to get back to me next week with the exact shipping cost. The estimate is "about $100." Their warehouse is in Bridgewater, NJ, about a 50-mile drive from my house.

    Well, the Bradley Effect will adjust for that.

    Gosh, that's a frightening photo.

    MLB.com is running a contest where you pick the destination of 15 free agents. The prize is Opening Day tickets. I entered, but if I win it will be pure dumb luck. I don't know much about the needs of any of the other 29 teams, so I probably made some pretty uneducated guesses.

    Or they could play a wacky game at Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands. How short would the home run distance be in the left and right field corners?

    Looking at the two photos together really shows how much garishness was added to Shea over the years. I'm sure Citi Field with start out with a lot of that clutter already in place. I can only imagine what it will look like 40 years from now. (And I hope I live to find out! At this point, another 40 years is about as much as I care to get.)

    There's also Keyspan. Less capacity, of course, but wouldn't Fred love to play a major league game in Brooklyn?

    The entire Yankees front office, and all of the players, should go to jail. And their fans too!

    Bride. I'm no fan of the Ralphie movie.

    It was prettier when it opened than when it closed.

    Yeah, there's no need to keep YS2 around. Even if one of the two stadiums had an unexpected delay, the other new stadium would remain an option. The Yankees could play at Citi or the Mets could play at YS3. And believe me, they'll get it done. Even if some of the restaurants aren't completed, or if there are fewer working restrooms than they wanted, or anything like that, they'll open anyway. As long as there are seats and electricity and fire alarms and whatever else is needed for an occupancy permit, the ballparks will open. And those are the things they'll make sure they have done in time.

    It would also be a vote for quality over stupidity.

    Bob Gibson won nine Gloves.
  15. Benjamin Grimm
    I like the idea.
  16. Benjamin Grimm
    Have they started taking down the old stadium yet?
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    It is, isn't it? They need to get the aura installed and they have to paint the mystique.
  18. Benjamin Grimm
    Well, let me just say that Pop-Tarts are yummy.
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    What about the color of the bricks? Does anyone know? How well does the color of Citi Field match Ebbets?

    When are the ghosts gonna move in?

    Long hair is one thing, but... pigtails????
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    That is nice. I was hoping that switching leagues wouldn't cost Santana his Glove, but I guess it did. Oh well.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    He looks like Johnny Damon with an "Alvarez" wig.

    I think it's too early to be "telling" if the Mets haven't contacted someone. Just because they haven't expressed public interest by November 5 doesn't mean that they're not going to consider any of those players.

    True, but I think the laugh also comes from the surprise. You're thinking, wow, how is he going to beat this guy? And then, oh, yeah, with a gun! It's kind of like when the Thing swats away the incoming spaceship of the dreaded Lizard Men of Tok in Fantastic Four number 16, The Micro World of Doctor Doom. Oh... wait. Nobody's going to get that reference but me.
