G-Fafif

Ron Swoboda

Gary Cohen will be doing the first two games of the Reds-Giants series on ESPN Radio, Saturday night and Sunday TBD. He'll partner with Rick Sutcliffe before being shoved aside so Chris Berman can bigfoot his way back in and pretend he's a baseball announcer.

Not the MFYs versus Not the MFYs.

Phillies didn't play well and fired coaches. Mets didn't play well and retained all coaches. Clueless Phillies.

Probably won't be seeing this at Future Citi Field given the company's state.

Check out our sluggers!

Rico Brogna, good fit.

28 shown + Murray + Hairston...hmmm...three to go.

Robin Ventura. OE -- Never mind, just found him on the Metrix.

Eddie Murray.

Australia's favorite Met, Bobby Bonilla.

The last Mets-Astros game ever of a National League nature in late August. It was on Channel 11, which meant it wasn't on my Cablevision-fueled television. For a couple of reasons, I decided to grab my pocket radio and drive it to my hometown of Long Beach (which is six miles from where I live but where I haven't been in several years) and spent the afternoon on a middle-aged sentimental journey of sorts, walking and listening, walking and listening. When the Astros tied it in the top of the ninth, I was guessing we were due for 16 or 24 innings, classic Mets-Astros stuff delivered as farce. I was ambling close to the elementary school playground where I sucked at stickball when Ike Davis ended it with one swing in the bottom of the ninth (nobody ever ends it with two swings, but you know what I mean). I was about a half-block from the scene of my lack of youthful triumphs. Kept walking, took a look around, saw construction had closed the playground off for summer, read something into it, turned around and picked up some mushroom barley soup to go at a deli I used to patronize. Next to the no-hitter and Dickey winning his 20th, it was my magic moment of 2012.

Carlos Delgado.

Richard Hidalgo.

Let's try Cliff Floyd.

Keith Hernandez one time. OE -- Or not!

Darryl Strawberry.

I wish you could've seen my mouth fall open in delight (that's what she said) when I got a gander at that Strikeout Leaders card. One more Schaefer ass kicked.

G-Fafif will have the ball to open the '13 season... you don't mess with a winning streak. While I'm still hot...

Irish and I just finished blowing the nonexistent cash prize on invisible Korbel that we didn't pour over each other's heads.

Tejadas fine season and individual at bats which are a joy to watch has me sayin " Jose who?" It doesn't by any means tell the entire tale, but as we speak, Reyes and Tejada have identical batting averages of .287. Wish they still played together.

While the Pirates have avoided .500 from 1993 forward, one team has never not had a winning record in that span. The MFYs' last losing record came the same year the Pirates last won anything. And fuck them.
