  1. I should be there for a Sunday in the Park!
  2. Want to have a neat bronze version of Jesse Orosco celebrating the 1986 Final Out? http://cgi.ebay.com/METS-JESSE-OROSCO-BRONZE-STATUE-SHEA-STADIUM-SGA_W0QQitemZ8821960993QQcategoryZ25144QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Not sure when this guy is handed out at Shea yet but this is something the Yanks started last year, seems like a neater collectable than the Bobble-Heads or Celbri-ducks. Though that should be a McFarlane figure
  3. ="Edgy DC"]Somebody's gonna call the game Before the night is done Somebody better take the blame When Edgy has no fun (Everybody...) Everybody's gonna curse the skies Before the sun goes down They're all renting crappy DVDs Like Elizabethtown There's gonna be a... Hey its Glenn Frey and Conway Twitty! Seriously, Conway Twitty covered this Eagle classic, no difference between the two versions of Heartache Tonight
  4. WFAN and 1050 ESPN Radio have it now Old Fashioned 2 for the price of 1 Double Header, AKA Long Day's Journey Into Night tomorow
  5. ="Centerfield"]Vizcaino and Strawberry come to mind. Nice trivia question Only man to have all 4 teams be the ONLY 4 teams he played for! 1983-1990 1991-1993 1994 1995-1999 Viz: 1989-1990, 1998-2000 Then Cubbies from 91-93 Sorry can't seem to google a big shot of him as a Cubbie 1994-1996 Traded with Kent to Cleveland in 96, wound up with Kent going to SF for Matt Williams! Sorry can't seem to Google a shot of Viz in Cleveland either! 1996 1997, 2006 2000 And from 2001-2005 he was an Astro Decent bit of traveling

If there were any Braves fans down there, it'd blow their minds. Ask anyone from Atlanta and they'll tell you that Braves fans don't give a crap about the Mets. Why should they? We've never been a legitimate threat to them. Of course Brave fans don't give a crap about the Braves! Don't even sell out Divisional Round playoff games!
  7. ="seawolf17"]="HahnSolo"]About Lets Go Mets, when did the crowd start adding in "hoo" in the chant? Let's Go Mets hoo Let's Go Mets hoo I can't stand that. And it seems acceptible now. I think that might have started to drown out the "Let's Go Yankees" chant during interleague play. But I could be wrong. I agree that it's dumb. So is The Wave. Just cut it out, all of you. I long for the day when some frigging moron stands up to do The Wave and gets drilled by a foul ball. Yeah the Interleague Yankee games is when I first heard the Hoo back in 1999. Basically a Lets Go Mets/Lets Go Yankees chant would go simultaniously and the HOO would drown out the EES in Lets Go Yankees. At first I thought it was "Lets Go Mets WHO!" Don't forget the "HEEEEEEEEEEY! HOOOOOOOO!" that was popularized by the early 90's crowd at the Vet or the "Who Let The Dogs Out" stuff
  8. Man we have had a rash of these long games this year. Granted nothing compares to the 20s we'd pull back in the 60's. Wonder games tended to last longer back then? If I had the time, or the inclination I'd probably spend a few hours at retrosheet figuring out an answer!
  9. Some alt-grunge group did a song tribute to Jose Oquendo that the Sklar Brothers (of ESPN Classic's Cheap Seats) used as motivation to get Oquendo into Cooperstown! Can't seem to find the song or the lyrics though
  10. Looks like a repeat of last year with our catcher and CFer going as starters! http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060530&content_id=1479280&vkey=allstar2006&fext=.jsp Pujols all over the competiton at first, Delgado doesn't stand a chance Biggo slim lead over Utley. Surprised periennal guy Jeff Kent is so low Rolen over Wright. Thats disapointing right now Current Card Eckstein over former Card Renteria with Reyes and Rollins not far behind LoDuca is in a dog fight with Piazza and Molina Andruw Jones, Beltran and Edmonds are your OF leaders with Griffey, Soriano and Abreu behind Xavier Nady is 11th in the OF, no Floyd (bad start of course)

Tony Mullane, whom the first "Ladies Day" promotion was created due to his being the favored player of the women of Cincy back in the day, suffers from the same fate.
  12. Tom Glavine is now the 5th all-time winningest lefty by the way Warren Spahn 363 Steve Carlton 329 Lefty Grove 300 Tommy John 288 Tom Glavine 285
  13. Yup. Since I put Tommy Boy's Rookie Card up, I thought I'd do the same for the rest of the Top 3 Active Wins Leaders (yes Clemens is still considered ACTIVE)
  14. On the active chart Glavine is keeping ahead of Randy Johnson (283 to 269) and trails: The "retired" Roger Clemens at 341 and his old pal Greg Maddux at 323
  15. Bobby Mathews 297 Tommy John 288 Bert Blyleven 287 Robin Roberts 286 Fergie Jenkins 284 Tony Mullane 284 Jim Kaat 283 (Not trying to be a wise guy, just thought I'd put a 20 year old picture of Glavine up) Tom Glavine 283 Countdown to 300 T-17

Honestly, we're all former something-or-other. Let Braves fans gnash their teeth if a longtime Brave gives us his best. Thanks for the ride there for a few innings, Tom. Good point, eh, just wanted to garner some opinions thats all. Probably put a poll up. I mean MFY Fans didn't feel any disgust that Gooden got a no-hitter as a Yankee or that Roger Clemens started the final game of the 1999 World Series

  18. Honestly though, would you want the first one of "those things" be done by an ex-Brave, (When Glavine goes into the Hall it will be with an Brave cap on, and dollars to doughnuts 47 gets itself retired down in Atlanta) or God forbid an ex-MFY?
  19. Mathews, who once considered himself a Met fan actually was laughing uncontrollably each time the Cubs scored a run against Glavine in Tommy's first game as a Met!
  20. Remebered Wally Mathews once actually rooted FOR something to happen rather than somthing like this to to happen to an ex-Brave! Then again I don't think Mathews (or anyone who works or worked for 1050 ESPN Radio) likes Mr. Glavine that much. for whatever reason
  21. Dopey ESPN Radio Sports Center announcer just said it in a different way, but not the way you want it to be done! GEEZ!
  22. (GWreck got to the lineups before I could)
  23. Not a great lineup today against the D-Train
