Ojeda saying Mets have some guy who mostly care about their stats. Seeing as how very few of them have stats worth caring about, I can't imagine who he means.

Collins ripping several new a-holes in the postgame. He's both entertaining and correct.

Per Arnold Horshack, "Ooh! Ooh!" That's a yes.

Looks pretty untornadic out there, thankfully.

Our little surprise, eh, guys? Be careful as all get-out. Remember what happened last time. A flash storm that followed tornado warnings powered through New York City Thursday evening, with winds up to 70 miles per hour knocking down trees, damaging buildings, destroying cars and causing the death of at least one person. The severe weather wreaked havoc on the city�s transportation system in the middle of the evening commute. All Long Island Rail Road service was suspended out of Manhattan due to downed trees on the tracks near Sunnyside, Queens. LIRR service was also disrupted between Brooklyn and Queens, and the entire 7 subway line was inoperative for several hours. Several roadways were closed to vehicular traffic because of the debris. A woman was killed when a tree toppled onto her vehicle on the Grand Central Parkway near Jewel Avenue, authorities said. It may be because I just got through watching Season 2 of United States of Tara, which takes place in Kansas, but tornadoes are nothing to fuck around with. Then again, this is just a watch. Either way, possible severe weather.

The 1986 Mets will be honored some time this season. If he's healthy enough to come in, then honor him that day along with his team. That's what they did with Tug back in 2003 with the 1973 team. They did. It was incredibly lame, but they did. I second your emotion on gathering the champions this summer and making Gary the focal point as they did with Tug eight years ago. The Mets have have wormed away from doing an OTD for the 25th anniversary (cost, mostly) but this seems like a good impetus to get the band back together. Hell, half of them work for the organization anyway.

Ooooh...on my to-do list! Do it. Among the more pedestrian fare, the chicken nachos are outstanding. And nothin' wrong with a sweet sausage or a Hebrew National frank from the Kosher stand or good ol' Daruma in the World's Fare. Yes, Citi Field is good at food.

The knish at the Hot Pastrami stand is sublime. As is the Hot Pastrami. A worthy counterpoint to the BBQ Brisket at Blue Smoke.

Murphy, as Met Third Baseman No. 145, played a pretty good hot corner. Now for that $2.25 one needs to ride the subway...

OK, I'll be the insensitive prick: 3-7 days? Those are the parameters of the bereavement list, even though it does sound like something the Mets doctors would come up with.
