=ashie62 post_id=10448 time=1558300444 user_id=90] John Calipari was reading a paperback when the Nets did not fly him home

1. Fred Wilpon buys out the Doubleday Group. The Wilpon-Katz group acquires 100% ownership of the Mets. 2. Early 1990's- Fred Wilpon becomes the de facto majority owner of the Mets. 3. The Mets trade Tom Seaver to the Reds. The gap between the 2nd and 3rd ranked events is about as wide as the Grand Canyon.

This thread title's gonna need a few hours to ripen. I wonder if Mickey's gonna fly with the paper bag on his knee.

I haven't started an IGT in about three seasons. Screw The Kinks.

You are.

Poor fucking Sandy Alderson. Has to endure this utterly horseshit Huckabee Sanders-like fucking lie from the Mets that there were no limits on team payroll and all Sandy had to do to get more money for payroll was to ask for more money and it would've been there as easy as like when your kid asks you for a few dollars for pizza.

Poor fucking Mickey. Forced to play a thoroughly washed up Jose Reyes every day because eff Wilpon "likes" Jose.

Knowing the Mets, they'll get some replacement who has little, if any managerial experience and almost no leverage because what matters more than anything else is for Jeff Wilpon to be able to manipulate, control and browbeat at will the new sucker like a puppet on a string. Besides, what kind of manager with other options who's in demand would want to work for this utter trainwreck of a front office that every single baseball insider knows is utterly incompetent at everything? Who the fuck would want to manage in New York City with all of the pressures and heightened scrutiny that comes with managing in the country's biggest market on a payroll that's ever so slightly larger than league average when you finally realize that the scumbag ownership group is including David Wright's salary and probably, Johan Santana's salary, too in the final count.

=G-Fafif post_id=10322 time=1558172890 user_id=55] Kingman shouldn'ta dove. If he hadn't, Alonso would be on pace to perhaps pass Todd and Carlos for second. But he dove and finished with 37. Which reminds me — don't dive, Pete. Not awkwardly, anyway.

In 1976, Dave Kingman, on pace to hit way more than 41 HR's for most of the season until he sustained an unfortunate injury, hit his 14th HR in the Mets 30th game. But I thought that this thread was going to be about Gordon Richardson.

Technically the Shop Around the Corner -- but you were far closer than I! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033045/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033045/ It was just on tv the other night. I had never seen it, and when I read the description of the movie, I immediately though of You've Got Mail. Later The other night? It seems as if this movie airs at least once a week.

In fact, one could argue that it's kind of the opposite. There's an old joke concerning Doris and the studio-created chaste image that served her for many roles and many years. I can't remember now to whom it was first attributed, but whoever it was claimed that; 'I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin'. Supposedly Oscar Levant said that, which sounds exactly like something he'd have said. Similar to the jibe toward George Gershwin and his long-time love, Kay Swift, whom he never married before he died: "Ah, look! Here comes George Gershwin with the future Miss Kay Swift." OK, a "sheltered childhood" means, in my case, we didn't have movie options for a lot of my childhood but when we did, it was movies my mother wanted to see. She was not a DD fan. She was not into chick flicks. She tended toward movies such as Mister Roberts, Trapeze, The Greatest Show on Earth, Around the World in 80 Days, The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming; Auntie Mame, stuff like that. So that shelter meant if I was to see a movie, mom wanted to see it and took us kids along. We had no nearby theatre to trot off to. Sometimes I speak circumspectly. That before she was a virgin line is attributed to Levant, and also, Groucho Marx.
