And even Seaver, in '67, wasn't as good as Harvey is right now. Coming into this season I was hoping it would be a 1983 kind of year. Instead it's smelling more like 1979. I'm coming to believe 2013 is on the verge of establishing its own discernible, meaningful precedent, as in "oy, it's another 2013 this year!"
  8. More such talk, handsomely illustrated, this time with Alex Belth of Bronx Banter, the only man who could use "pernt" for point unironically and have it come off as literary. Our fandom (anybody�s fandom, really) is so much more than the agreed-upon milestones. It�s the big inning we�re all talking about the next morning or the rookie who came up to pitch a shutout and then disappeared or the quirky game where all 17 hits were singles. It�s firsts and lasts and lots of in-betweens. It�s the championships and superstars, too, of course, but it�s also the moments of contention that fizzled and the stage being set for great things and the residual fumes on the other side of those great things and the games and players who got us through the rough times. It�s everything, if you�re a steadfast fan of a team.

  16. In The Happiest Recap Game No. 11, 8/21/1962, the story is told of 3B coach Solly Hemus getting thrown out for arguing, 1B coach Cookie Lavagetto replacing him and Gene Woodling come off the bench to replace him. Then Woodling was called on by Casey to pinch-hit, so Richie Ashburn volunteered the services of Marv Throneberry, and Stengel went along with it. Why not -- the Mets were in the midst of a 13-game losing streak...which ended in the ninth when Marv left the box to pinch-hit with two on, two out and the Mets down by two. Coach Marvelous homered to win the game and end the streak. You can look it up.

  19. Does Hefner's voice always seem to be cracking as if he's on the verge of tears as he reflects on his pitching? He sounds so upset in every postgame interview. Or is the kid just keeping him up late?
  20. I thought this was a thread about Ike's sweet, sweet ass.
