Missed it. Thanks Later

We've talked about the guy numerous times, mostly negatively. But I heard on the radio yesterday (forget whether ESPN or WFAN) that Bob was hit in the eye with a batted ball while playing in a baseball game. The reporter said the injury was serious. Let's put our opinions of his writing aside for a while and wish him a speedy and full recovery. Later

memories of Bobby: He was one of a line of shortstops the Yanks converted into centerfielders. The list included Mantle, Kubek, Tresh and Murcer. The year the Yanks played at Shea, Murcer had a lousy year - only two home runs at home, and both of those came in September. Seemed to be a nice guy. Like many ballplayers who follow a great one, some Yankee fans didn't like him just because he was "replacing Mantle" (even though he didn't do it directly). But I also remember Yank fans initially not liking Mantle because he "replaced DiMaggio". He suffered a lot. RIP Later

More on Murphy. He's a third baseman who has been getting starts at second base lately. Later

Strap him to a skid and paste a shipping label on his forehead. I'll gladly pay the postage. LAter

Bless you, Fred. And, thanks from all of us. Later

He has been named to the Futures Game, and will be the only International player to be mic-ed up . My boy has a future in broadcasting? Later

Looking at that list makes me wonder what it would take to get Melvin Mora from the O's. Later

Tatis is hitting like its 1999.* Later *= Yes, that was a Prince reference. (Sorry if someone has used it before)

I was present at another memorable (or, forgetable) Shea moment. A day game, probably Sunday. I believe Gooden started, rains came, and they set the record for the lomgest rain delay in history before resuming. (IIRC the record still stands and the Mets eventually lost). Is there a way to find the date? Are rain delays counted in the official "Time of Game" in the box scores? Later

I'm not sure if this is what the Yankees mean by a "double dip". http://www.nypost.com/seven/07092008/gossip/pagesix/finger_dipping_play_by_play_119038.htm Later

On the radio, the three Mets announcers paid homage to a famous Bob Murphy quote after a similar Met win over the phillies. ("They won the damn game") My sentiments were reflected by a quote from the late great Pirate announcer Bob Prince, who said in similar circumstances, "We had 'em all the way". (Except I never refer to teams I root for as "we") Later

And the other part of you? Later
-
Well, when Taylor was written about, his strengths pointed to included "Plays through pain" and "highly agressive". And, aren't those known effects from smoking crack? Or are they not? That was the part of his "performance" I felt was enhanced. (as in PED) Just my opinion. Later

Vince Coleman Firecracker wrote: Fuck Josh Hamilton. Crack is a PED. Especially for a defensive football player. Yet I'd imagine many NY Giant fans were happy when Lawrence Taylor made the football HOF, but would be against Bonds making the baseball HOF. Just my guess. Later

I comiserate with him. But then again, after 40 years of marriage, they're strictly decorative. Later
-
I hear of Pasucci and think of Shelly Duncan. Why not see if he can provide a similar temporary lift, if not a permanent one? And, while I'm stretching, why not a Schoeneweis for Shelly Duncan deal? Later
-
I'm giddy about the fact that Wilmer collected his first pro base on balls in the second game of tonight's double header. Learn that plate discipline, kid. His OPS is now over 1.000 I'm kvelling. Later
-
Its tough to throw a runner out at first when the ball has gone through the second baseman's legs. Later

Took the grandkids to see it. They enjoyed it. I just kept fantacizing about Anjolina Jolie and Lucy Liu in the same movie. How did you like it? Later
-
Could he be any worse that some of the others who have inhabited the pen this year? But who replaces him as a starter? Later
-
OK, fair enough explanation. I can accept that. Later
