It may be quicker if the boat is being powered. There are many cruises you can take on the Ohio River: https://www.cruisecompete.com/river_cruises/water/ohio_river/1https://www.cruisecompete.com/river_cruises/water/ohio_river/1 When I stayed at the old "Big E" hotel in Owensboro, KY (a beautiful place that was gutted by fire and now replaced) there was a stop for one of the old paddleboat steamers. One came to dock there and it was like looking at a page out of history. Later

    TWOKABOOMS! Why do I feel the three runs might not be enough? Later

    I can understand that military assignment. Kiner used to mention his great eyesight. And, as someone responsible for locating and rescuing downed pilots as well as enemy subs, he was well qualified. If I were a pilot downed in the ocean, I would want someone with Kiner's eyesight looking for me. Later

    Jared Eickhoff is not really the guy I want toeing the mound in that ballpark. Maybe we could just get a rubber tee with his name on it and hope that they miss some foul. The way they used to say that was, "Tell the outfielders to play deep and cut across." Later

    Thanks, Ben. Later

    Looks like we're starting not-so-formal KTEs again. Eleven years ago, I started writing 50 year anniversary KTEs for certain opponents. I started with one for the 1960 World Series Champion Pirates. The second was for the 1961 NL Pennant winning Reds. I think the others were the 1962 San Francisco pennant winner and the 1964 World Series Champion Cardinals. I'm not going to do a 60 year look-back, but the old ones weren't in the KTE archives when I looked. Were they ever kept? Later

    Psst. Quick! Get out of town before somebody realizes the Mets won and makes them play another inning. Later

    Did anyone interview Tylor Megill after the game? He must be pissed. Later

    He would have found loads of "ain't" spots to "hit 'em" against the shift. Later

    Black cap, blue cap - both with classic NY blue and orange logo. I also have a Brooklyn Cyclones and a Columbia Bombers cap. The only jersey I own is an original Jackie Robinson Brooklyn Dodger pinstripe I got many years ago and never wear. But I do wear a black golf shirt with a Mets encircled logo on the left front and Mets color trim. My wife and I have T-shirts we have worn to games, one orange and one blue. (no logos) I probably wear the Cyclones cap more than any other piece of garb I mentioned. I once wore the Columbia cap to the flea market where I've met Kase, and a dumb MFY fan (sorry for the redundancy) asked me if it was a Columbus Clippers cap (the AAA MFY affiliate at the time). I told him in very condescending manner that it wasn't. It was the highlight of my day. Later

    Lefty Specialist wrote: Meh. Hate them. Always have. Always will. Black is not a Met color. You can make a case for it. When the Mets were born, they adapted the colors of the teams that had left New York - Brooklyn Dodger blue and New York Giants orange. But in their later years (from the 1930-1936 and 1948-1957) the New York Giants team colors were orange and black. So, you could say black pays homage to that team. I don't care one way or another, but just throwing that out there. Later

    =bmfc1 post_id=71403 time=1626382000 user_id=73] Maybe it's time to name them. Let them explain to the fans why they think that they know more than the Doctors and are willing to put the team's pennant chances in jeopardy as well as the health of their teammates, their families, the team's staff and, employees.

    A Boy Named Seo wrote: He's "only" 37 and very well rested. Certainly doesn't hurt to check him out, especially given the state of our pitching depth. Right. If he hasn't lost too much off his fastball (and the radar guns will tell them) he would now fit into the category of "crafty lefty starter". And there is always a place for that kind of pitcher on a pennant contender's staff. He last full year (2019) was good, and because of almost two years of inactivity (was he injured?) he's only "35". Kick the tires, guys. Later

    Glad to see the CPF was well represented. The mic-ed up Liam Hendricks (the AL closer) was really our Fmann in disguise. He dropped a few cuss words while pitching because he thought his mic wasn't working. It was. Later

    If we don't have a recent picture of Taijaun Walker's better half, we should. https://sports.yahoo.com/taijaun-walker-talks-most-fashionable-201508190.htmlhttps://sports.yahoo.com/taijaun-walker-talks-most-fashionable-201508190.html (link is to story from SNY) Later

For a guy like Smith, whose main focus is the star-driven entity that is the NBA, 'star power' is the lens through which he's going to see things. When he's not a hyper-obnoxious vociferous fan of the basketball team for which he roots, SAS generally views everything through the prism of race. In this case it wasn't even his race. Later

    Oh, I took my time, re -writing that several times, just to be sure it would be taken as a joke. But right after I hit submit I realized you aren't an editor any more. Later
