    Nolan Ryan Bobblehead Night, featuring Texan Dillon Gee, who doesn't need to leave New York to find himself. The bases have been swept clean since last night. Time to fill them with Mets and then send them home.

    Fans would roast them to no end, of course, if it failed. Fans are fickle folks, and they don't tend to reward you for daring failures. If Flores -- given a fair audition -- proves an adequate-fielding, good-hitting SS and a net-positive over what they'd been getting from Rumar Tejntanilla (and wins result), huzzah! If Flores in that same circumstance instead proves a sieve in the field and a letdown at the plate (and losses result), thumbs down and move on. If it works, it will be greeted with provisional approval. If it doesn't, it won't be. Points for acting on creative thinking and the response that might result if the experiment goes awry are fine to bandy about on a gloomy off day, but they're not the end product of attempting to create a productive lineup and/or maintain an adequate defense. Gather more wins than losses over a representative period of time. That makes everybody embraceable. The goal is not pats on the head or pecks on the cheek for the general manager. I think the general manager would be the first to acknowledge that.

    Quintanilla designated for assignment. Speculation centers on new SS Wilmer Flores.

    Nimmo didn't get on base Monday night, reducing his OBP to a mere .489. Slugging is only .441, but I'm sure he's earning bonuses on whatever scale the organization rewards its youngsters for not swinging too much.

    The Raider part wipes out Lynn Swann, who roomed with Fred Lynn -- plus Swann wasn't rookie of the year. Unless you mean MVP (Swann MVP of Super Bowl X; Lynn MVP of AL 1975 months earlier).

    A nice swan song for Ike. Joins Murph as only Mets to win Player and Bench Player awards. I'm assuming Murph worked his way up from bench to full-time status in Schaefer terms. Ike went the other way before heading west.

    Evidence -- gleaned from the paper Don was reading in a previous scene (Friday's Post) points to the game Don and Freddy missed as April 21, 1969, an eleven-inning loss to the Phillies. Gary Gentry went nine, struck out eight, walked seven and gave up seven hits in his third major league start; if his pitches were counted, it wasn't mentioned. Ron Taylor gave up the game-winning hit to Tony Taylor. Not quite 10,000 True New Yorkers were in attendance. Larry Hisle, whose birthday is today, homered. The only Met run was driven in by Rocky: the right fielder, not the governor for whom Henry Francis works.

    Mad Men, Season Seven, Episode Four (air date 5/4/2014), �The Monolith�. Takes place late April 1969. Don is in the late Lane Pryce�s old office, now his. Finds Lane's familiar Mets pennant tucked away. He eventually hangs it up where it used to be displayed. Later he gets drunk, calls Freddy Rumsen, suggests going to Shea and when Freddy comes by to pick him up, Don sings a couple of lines of �Meet The Mets�. Freddy takes him home to sober up. When Don awakes the next morning, he asks, �Did the Mets win?� One of the great Mets pop culture moments of recent years.

    More 1969 porn, from the evening of September 24... [youtube:uk9m94r5]rYHOM81SlfE[/youtube:uk9m94r5] [youtube:uk9m94r5]pc865NM7uLU[/youtube:uk9m94r5] The deeper Part II gets, the drunker Nolan Ryan gets. Plus a rare Jim Bibby sighting! Part I features Charles Payson declaring, "I'm Mr. Payson."

    SbMO7ETcN44 A chunk of an old rain-delay staple some of you might remember. 1969...aaahhh...
