Ah why don't ya just pour a pint of Killegans in celebration ya lassie! On second tought, I should PM that lad Rockin' Doc and suggest that great Irish Red beer as a beer of the game, rather than any piss poor water that Coors crap came up with. I swear, they must have gotten the water out of the Liffey its so bloody bad!

The number currently is 26

Nice and he gets todays win as well!

Awww nice to shuffle my Nedicks/Marty Glickman tribute to the previous page like that guys! =

Game Over! Good like

I don't hate John Denver at all, I really wanted to use Rocky Mountain High but I figured based on the response the Billy Joel songs got that any Denver song would garner "Hiss, BOOO" responses. I was noting that yes I know its John Denver, but I'm posting the song anyway!

Someone probably more hated than Billy Joel! He was born in the summer of his 27th year Comin' home to a place he'd never been before He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again You might say he found a key for every door When he first came to the mountains his life was far away On the road and hangin' by a song But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long But the Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye Rocky mountain high He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below He saw everything as far as you can see And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun And he lost a friend but kept his memory Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams Seeking grace in every step he takes His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake And the Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply Rocky mountain high Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more More people, more scars upon the land And the Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly Rocky mountain high It's Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky Friends around the campfire and everybody's high Rocky mountain high

Oh, the title comes based on the fact that "Desperate Housewifes" got turned down by NBC before going to ABC, the whole downfall of NBC and "Must See TV" and the rise of CBS in recent years is the framework of the book.

Pretty entertaining book about the ins and outs of the TV biz over the last few years. The reality revolution is covered, along with the big turnover of all three network news lions (4 counting Ted Koppel) Good quick read, especially if you like to see how the sasauges are made in the entertainment industry

="ScarletKnight41"]Cliff Floyd poster Hmmm, I would have gone with this #30 though

From what Howie was saying today, all bets are off and its Davey Williams coming up Sat. Either way, it seems for the second time in a row we are debuting a starting pitcher on the day we don the 1986 style jerseys in a retro-day

Had 11 assists including being part of 2 GiDPs - I wonder if that 1/3 inning at 2nd base was in the resumption of the "Pine Tar" game when Billy put out an ass-backwards lineup because he was pouting over the decision? And Gator in the OF, yeah I believe that is correct

Its good like

Sure, I'll see what I can do

Will be at the celebration Sat night.

I'll be at the game as well, though I'm a Sam Adams drinker I shall raise you a Met win, scattering 3 runs on 7 hits with 10 Ks

The first part was a mediot's describing how a great star on a really crappy team, in a "small market" is like an expensive piece of art being shoved in your garage, buried behind all sorts of junk The second part is my implication that ARod is now in NY but is treated as if instead of hanging the Mona Lisa in a real trendy Italian restaurant he is being treated as if he is in a laughable wannabe trendy Italian restaurant chain, like The Olive Garden. Weak I know, but its the best I could try to come up with to mock the original comparsion.

Like that series in Philly in early September of 1986 I need some beers...

Sweet stuff. By the way, I swear I think a set exists but I can't find verification of it, but sometime early in the Mets HOF run (probably the year the original broadcast trio got inducted) they had a set of cards of all the Met HOFers up to that point (Joan Payson, Bill Shea, Stengel, Weiss, Hodges, Murphy and may or may not also the broadcasters) given away at Shea. The only reason I ask is this would be clearly the only known card of Payson, and Shea, and probably the only known card of Johnny Murphy as a GM (MFY cards of the Fireman plenty available) and could be the only known card of Lindsey Nelson (Murph and Kiner got on cardboard in the 2002 All Amazin Team set by Fleer) Anyone know anything about this set?
