    We should put it to a vote. I'm sure they'll abide by our decision.

    Franco is a worthy selection. Yeah, but they should include Rube Walker too. He'll never stop being dead, of course, but he's deserving and he can share his day with a living person.

    Or Linda Ronstadt.

    These were out eight finalists last year: Frank Cashen Dwight Gooden Jane Jarvis Davey Johnson Mike Piazza Darryl Strawberry Bobby Valentine Rube Walker Four of them made it (Johnson, Cashen, Gooden, Strawberry). I think Piazza is a good guess. Strengthen his Mets credentials prior to the Cooperstown cap decision.

    I just skimmed Houston's Wikipedia page, and based on that, I think an appropriate name would be the Bayous. (Houston was founded on the banks of the Buffalo Bayou, which seems to explain the name of the minor league team. The city has four major bayous.)

    Carlos Beltran wants us to "get over it."

    They could be the "We Have a Problems" But I think "Tralfazzes" is best.

    Well, sure. Who would want to admit to being from New Jersey?

    Wow, for a guy who's played his whole career in Milwaukee, Detroit is going to be quite a culture shock!

    I have a hunch that he's going to be one of my favorite lanzadors.

    Well, then my vote is for naming the team the Keiths.

    I would have LOVED it if Ralph had asked Choo Choo about how he got his nickname. Or about his wife's name and what she's like.

    I looked up what the team name was when Houston was a minor league city, and it looks like the answer is the Houston Buffaloes. I don't think I like that.

    My guess... the Boston Braves had temporarily renamed themselves the Boston Bees at one point, but the name didn't stick. Is that it?

    I'm rarely able to have much of an opinion on these things. The only movies I've seen from the entire list are Hugo (with several mentions) and Rise of the Planet of the Apes (with one).

    Fred Wilpon's wallet?

    It's good that you're excited, and I really don't want to harsh anybody's buzz, but at this point, the thought of the Mets 2012 season just makes me feel weary. And I've never felt that way in January before!

    And not to mention, as far as jet lag goes, coming to the United States from Europe is easy. Jet lag is worse when flying west to east, and easy when flying east to west. And for me, the worst part of it has always been that most flights from the U.S. to Europe are red-eyes. You arrive at your destination at about 8 a.m. local time, get to your hotel at 9, and the room isn't ready for check-in yet. So you drift zombie-like around the neighborhood for a while, or crash glassy-eyed in the lobby until your room is ready for you to get a few hours sleep. And then you're fine. Presumably an NFL team would have the money and the influence, to arrange it so that a comfy bed is waiting for the players when they arrive. Or better yet, they could charter a flight that would have them arrive at a more convenient time. If any major American sports league could handle a European franchise or two, it would be the NFL.

    My favorite title sequence is probably the one that opens HBO's True Blood.

    Could they arrange it that the teams that go to London for a road game do so in the week before their "bye" week?

    What does "putting on the mac" mean? And when did Steve McQueen stop being dead?
