  1. You can't be giving awards and retired numbers out everywhere you go. Jeez. Big moment in the season, captured on film, pretty unusual if not great headline. Easy choice
  2. Obnoxious folksinger encounters hijinks in New York and Rhode Island.
  3. I hafta say, "Cobra Kai" made a big comeback this season. A big, stupid comeback, but a comeback just the same.
  4. Really, I've been singing Purple Rain for 2.5 hours now
  5. Yeah the gravity of the moment and the wordiness (and unnecessary logo) of the Snooze cover got me to support Newsday in this one. Not often for me, jack.
  6. Not a big guy, that's what I remember
  7. Also comes to the Reds as a similarly high-ranked but underperforming infielder departs in Jonathan India
  8. Played well enough to have made himself an option for a shitty team that might need a starter; I figure that's why he hasn't re-upped yet cuz if it were up to the Mets they'd take OMG
  9. Edgy MD wrote: Bernie Sanders is a member of the Lunchbucket family. I thought everybody knew this. What defensive stiff Marshall could be. He was a big dude, tall and thick, we could really see that as he approached us.
  10. I have told the story before and must once more. My Dad took Bernie Sanders & I to Shea in '83 and for the first time in my life we got front-row yellow seats (field level in shallow right field). Sitting behind us that night was an Irish guy obviously watching his first baseball game ever, and we're helping his companion explain what he's seeing. At one point he asks if it were possible to get a home run without hitting it over the fence and we all assured him it's possible but never happens. Then sure as shit Mark Bradley bloops one near us--it's too shallow for Mike Marshall to catch and he awkwardly charges it but the ball goes behind him into the corner. Inside the park HR for Mark Bradley (starting for Strawberry who sits against Fernando Valenzuela).
  11. I wrote an email to Randle to ask about his nui number and he replied in ALL CAPS NUMBER 11 WAS FOR 1 GOD IN MY LIFE AND FOR BILLY MARTIN WHO WAS MY MENTOR IN BASEBALL... Here's his awesome recording (d'oh missed smg's post above): [media=youtube]l0GZskssncE[/media]
  12. Jose Reyes Jeff Innis Armando Benitez 123
  13. Randle brought some energy to that sad 77 Mets squad. Big fan of the sliding baseball card. That was a handsome set.
  14. Lynette is a total smokehouse. But it was only a few months later that Gaspar met his wife ( introduced by Danny Frisella, according to his bio). Where is Lynnette today?
  15. Linnette picked the worst looking and most ill-at-ease Met. She'd have done much better with Boswell or Garrett. I wonder how their date went
  16. Agee Montanez Murray Mahomes Butler
  17. Rickey was way into football. Bryant's book clears up the name issue, forget exactly what went down.
  18. 1st member of an exclusive club now closed to additional members: Italian-American Mets who wore No. 31
  19. Luzardo, Nola, Wheeler, Sanchez, Suarez in the starting rotation, top prospect Lance Painter also expected.
  20. Good. I guess this means we're out on Sasaki
  21. Nick Lowe. Can't link YouTube from my phone for some rrason
  22. Avi
  23. Nope. [media=youtube]YEpr8kaczck[/media]
