    Josh Smoker blew a save for the Pirates today, in a game they won in extra innings. Later

    Who says you need a great cleanup hitter? Well, they have one (or more), just not batting fourth. And, nine runs with no homers? Wow! Later

    How can the MFY game be delayed? They're playing in an f'n DOME. They couldn't fit Michael Kay's head under it? Later

    He gave so much. He did so much. And in later years, he suffered so much. RIP. Later

    I handled the 1963 yearbook in the Polo Grounds, too. Later

    Any player who can hit 31 HR righthanded is a welcome addition. But Pawtucket was a Red Sox affiliate. Those righty homers should have had them, and their fans, salivating. So why did they sell him to the Pirates after that season? Bad fielder? The Sox have the DH. Strikeout prone? His numbers weren't even close to being off the charts.(109 in 450 AB) So, there's got to be something .... Maybe the Sox had several better, and younger, prospects. I dunno. But, let's find out. Welcome, Bryce. Later

WFAN is the MFYs' flagship radio station. There is no facility called Steinbrenner Stadium. But this is what happens when you have unnatural affiliations. I realize it has been the the MFY's station for a few years, but WFAN was the flagship station of the Mets for so long that now, when I hear John Sterling's voice on it, its like hearing an Ayatollah at a Bar Mitzvah.

    He'll come up in September and pitch well enough to have Mets fans who haven't heard of him before asking, "Where has THIS guy been all year?" (and not in the way you've been hiding your crazy uncle from polite company) Later

    I think they should have signed recently released Scott Kazmir for the major league minimum and seen what he has left in the tank. There's no structural damage, he was suffering from the typical Spring Training "tired arm". Yes, IMO, if this is their only signing, this is abad move. Later

    Benjamin Grimm wrote: Is John Belushi's 1941 a remake of From Here to Eternity? Or of Tora Tora Tora? Of course not. But what about all the different versions of biographical films, from Lincoln to Churchill? You're right (happy?) The Titanic film wasn't a remake. But it was certainly telling the story of the ship going down from a different standpoint. As I said, I was just trying to provide a public service - letting folks know those two movies would be on tonight. No good deed goes unpunished. sigh Later

    Benjamin Grimm wrote: James Cameron's movie wasn't a remake, though. It was a new film about a subject that's been filmed before. I get that. Instead of only taking the perspective of the rich folks, it took the perspective of some poor folks, too. But that's like saying that each version of King Kong isn't a real remake because some of the story lines (character motivations) are different. Its still about a big ape on an island falling in love with a beautiful girl. This is about a famous ship sinking, and the passengers on it. And this version sucked. Spoiler alert When Leonardo DiCaprio's body floated by, I felt like standing up and cheering. Again, the other two are on TV tonight. And that was the purpose of my post, to alert the movie buffs who might want to see them (again). Later

    This was released too early to make Vic's list, but Titanic (1997) doesn't deserve to be in the lifeboat when compared to two movies on the same subject that preceded it - Titanic (1953) and especially Night to Remember (1958). Decide for yourself, because both of the older movies will be shown tonight on TCM (Turner Classic Movies). Later

    How could any Mets fan vote for anything with Clueless Joe's picture on it, especially that picture? Later

    Both teams using it. Yadier f'n Molina filling the spot for the bad guys. PJ Conlon has given up one hit in 4 IP. Mets up 1-0. RBI hit by Frazier. Later

This is how the Mets signed Reyes last year. Hmmmmmm Later

    The Mets with the DH and the Cards not? Is that allowed? Its spring training and they can do whatever they want, but two teams playing by different sets of rules? I haven't noticed if this has happened before. Later

And that is why I voted for 1996. And, in case they forgot to remind us (which they should have) 1996 was the tenth anniversary of a World Series victory. Later

    I was at the opening series at the Polo Grounds. We were in the upper deck behind home plate. The bullpens were far away and it was tough to read the uniform numbers of relievers warming up. Casey called for one and I turned around to the guy behind me who had binoculars and asked "Who is that out there?" He said "Santa Claus". I turned back around toward the field. It was snowing.
