Got nothing Metly this year, first time quite a long while... -
For posterity and regurgitation on slow news day...

He and Mariano both used by Metallica, drove some Skank fans nuts...

Right; it's like that Potroast song, "Two Out of Two Ain't Good." (with apologies to the late Mr. Steinman)

Eeeeek, Christmas cancelled!

=Gwreck post_id=115418 time=1671808265 user_id=56]Mets are paying a 90% tax on payroll amounts above $293M. Eliminating $12M from what counts towards the tax limit (McCann's contract) means that there is $10.8M in CBT tax savings. So, when the Mets traded him, even if they are still responsible for $9.5M each of the next two years, it's less than the CBT tax they've avoided.

He'll always be Confortoboom to me...

Show us the math NOW, Anthony!!

So the Mets are paying $19 million so McCann can be the Orioles backup C. Strange days indeed, most peculiar mama...

I may agree somewhat with all this and that but today, tomorrow and all off 2023 I'm gonna sit here and look at all the nice shiny toys under the tree.

Sour grapes is gonna sour... Text from nephew in-law-in No Cali, "I hate you."

They showed a few highlights of him at 3B, SS and 2B before on MLB. Looks like he could play anywhere, even standing on his head spitting nickels.

Hard to type with this jaw on my keyboard. I hadn't been on the computer yet and this blurb came across the New12 Westchester banner bottom and I almost dropped my cuppa. Thought the Giants had him all wrapped up with a bow and whatnot.

Anthony Recker seems to have popped up a lot on stuff and could be like a hot commodity in the making. No idea if he has play-by-play skillz though. Plus, he has a good face for radio!!
-
Nice promotion, too good to turn down! Good luck to him.
-
I'd become quite used to him and he will be missed. I hate breaking in new ones. They're like dress shoes, takes a few years for them to be totally comfortable.

=whippoorwill post_id=115103 time=1671480218 user_id=79]Actually it's dated March 9, 2007 Which is just a few months before dad died. KC do you remember when we met Rusty? It seems like it was a year or so before that. I wonder if that is what prompted dad to ask. But why would he ask his insurance agent???

Matchbook strikes a memory, I smoked like a chimney back then.

Right, I think I was only to the original once. I took my Mom in the 80's I guess and it was the one and only time she was ever in a cab. She didn't believe in springing for a cab when one could walk or take the subway. My recollection is the place was kinda gloomy and not well lit. Not many people for a weekend lunch date. We had ribs, they were nothing special. We walked back to GCT, a second cab ride would have traumatized her.
-
What year was the letter? He had two restaurants, the original up in the 70's? Later on he had a 'fancier' one on Fifth Avenue. First time we went there it was pretty good and the second time not so much so.

I have a few pictures somewhere of some of us in Philly parking lot being stalked by Japanese reporters checking out a Diamond Dad Shinjo banner. 'Awesoma Powah!' or, something....

Even the official site lists the news item with (source) in the description and when you click on it's a DiComo tweet - which is kinda amusing but I won't go there at the present time. Maybe it's taking time for him to get here from Japan and then pass a physical? Still, I would think that in itself would be worthy of a news blurb or two.
