    I still think it was just "he". Turner's name was probably mentioned by the questioner, and when he responded he used the word "he".

    He gets suspended for saying he likes Castro? What happened to freedom of speech? It looks like the Communists have won! Oh... wait...

    Tim McCarver used to do that to me all the time back in the day. "Mookie Wilson is playing too deep" moments before a dunker would land just in front of him.

    John Franco with a two-inning save. Those were the days.

    Voting for the Mets' Opening Day win over the Braves on Thursday afternoon will close on Tuesday morning. It looks like everybody has probably already voted for this game, but this notification is being posted regardless, as required by statute. Schaefer POTG 04/05/2012 Mets 1, Braves 0!

    I'm just hoping that when I watch today's game, I get an English-language broadcast.

    I was at the game too. Nice, crisp, fun game to attend. Sat, for the first time, in the 400 section, the Promenade boxes. (In my previous four trips to Citi, I was always in the 500 section, Promenade Reserved.) From where I was sitting, I couldn't tell if Wright's homer was credited to the new fences. Duda's first homer clearly was, and his second one clearly wasn't. We didn't wander into the Shake Shack area at all, so I don't know what the lines were like. Didn't matter; my favorite Citi Field sandwich is the turkey and mozzarella hero, with roasted red peppers and marinated mushrooms, from Mama's of Corona. If I went to 100 games a year, I'd probably eat there 85 to 90 times. They had some cool retro-looking t-shirts in the gift shop, but I lost interest when I saw the prices. $34.99 for a t-shirt? No thanks.

It wouldn't be a passed ball, because the runner didn't advance successfully. Is it a caught stealing? That's not quite right either.

    They look like the Mets again. And that, of course, is a good thing.

    I think we'll be quite happy with his season. As for numbers, I'll guess 13-9, 3.60 ERA.

    Is that the game where Murphy led off the inning with a triple and represented the potential winning run, and the Mets couldn't get him home? I remember how deflated I was when David Wright struck out.
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    Me too. Vanis takee, Carlos.

    I've been working on it... Let's see... N-I-E-U-W-E-N-H-U-I-S. (Now checking... ) Got it! It helps to break it down into three pieces: NIEU WEN HUIS. The trickiest part for me is remembering the U in the first segment, and how the U precedes the I in the last segment when it's the other way around in the first. The second segment is the easy one. Now... how do you pronounce it?

I think it's just a "fun fact." And naturally, the Mets are going to choose fun facts that have a positive spin. I too would rather they filled that scoreboard real estate with substance instead of fluff.
