  1. That was the allure of McFaddens, until it became tourist trap for sports bar loving fanboys. I can't imagine a brand of tourism that includes McFadden's. "We have come all the way from Topeka! From Glascow! From Seoul! But our time in New York will be for naught if we don't see McFadden's!" Confusing it with McSorley’s? FWIW, the Citi Field location was part of a sports bar expansion effort that included Philly, Pittsburgh, Nashville, etc. All, except for Pittsburgh shuttered around the time the original, by Grand Central in midtown Manhattan, abruptly closed. Tourist Trap was more along the lines of “oh, its a sports bar trying to be an “authentic Irish Tavern/Gastropub,” and its walking distance from the sports and performance venue arena(s)” Not necessarily in terms of the branding being “must go to this famous noted restaurant/club/bar/etc when in town.”
  2. Just be glad a huge guitar structure, like the one in South Florida, isn’t in the plans! BTW, at night laser light beams shoot up to create a illuminated, elongated neck

  4. The load times are making me think of this:
  5. One way to find out would be to sign up with our old handles and see how quickly someone chimes in with, "Are you the same ******* who used to post on MOFO back around the turn of the century?" Worked for me!
  6. https://metsrefugees.com/ I don’t recognize any names. Unless they all have new handles. Doing some digging, looks like its more of a splinter from an old ESPN forum section, I was “outed” as being the SJR from the MoFo, and there are a couple of MoFoites over there. So that was where my bad assumption was from *shrug* It is very active for a nice old school alternative to modern day social media platform “groups” “sub forums of the platform” and “hashtags to follow” Though I like places like Discord for that real old school feel, while on a device app platform

  8. Oddly I do know of one other Met one that is about as active as this one. Also a refugee of the old MoFo of yore. I would like to know more please MetsRefugees
  9. Yeah, but no one is clamoring that Lee’s boyhood home be kept as a shrine and tourist attraction museum!
  10. FYI the only posthumous induction since the 2010 relaunch was Al Jackson getting the achievement award in 2021 (passed away in 2019) Others Casey Stengel 1981, died 1975 Joan Payson 1981, died 1975 Gil Hodges 1982, died 1972 George Weiss 1982, died 1972 Johnny Murphy 1983, died 1970 Tommie Agee 2002, died 2001

  12. Dude, someone is just tired of your ****. How is this different than blocking trolls on X, Truth Social, BlueSky, etc?
  13. Take it to the Red Light Forum then. Edgardo Alfonzo How is blocking someone you’d rather not see on your internet device screen, anywhere (here, other social media platforms, etc) a form of discrimination and bigotry?
  14. RKO…I mean M for Randall Kirk (same first and middle intials as a legendary pro-wrestler Randal Keith “Randy” Orton) Myers
  15. Obscure…the now late Octavio Dotel?
  16. OE: RMPL I’ll post later
  17. Both are probably still high up, despite their crash and burn endings…I’ll go with Doc first though as my guess
  18. Feels like there has been a groundswell of late, seems like he’s on the Dick Allen track, getting his number retired, and sadly it would be a posthumous induction.
  19. Valenzuela seems like a lock. I can see Delgado, Mattingly or Murphy barely getting enough votes to get in.
