Nice job seawolf, hard to believe that hte season is just about over.

Doris was one hell of a fan though...Bob raisman remembers her after her death.. ]Overnight loses family member "Thank you for your time and courtesy." That's how Doris From Rego Park ended all her telephone calls to radio sports talkies. The depths of the night can be very daunting. Especially if you are sick. Especially if you are lonely. Especially if you just want to talk to somebody. That's when Doris did her best work. Sometime between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. Usually it was with WFAN's Joe Benigno. The two of them talked like family. And all of us who are up and around at that hour were part of it, too. Oh, it wasn't always smooth sailing. A few times Doris went wiggy on Benigno because he put her on too close to an update or commercial break. At those very cantankerous moments you knew Benigno was thinking about the many times he let Doris go on and on and on. His tone presented an image of a guy throwing his arms up in the air and saying: "Geesh, what do you want from me?" That's okay. Families do have their moments. For Doris, it was always about the Mets. She spoke as if they were family, too. We all knew what season ticket plan she had at Shea and what games she would be attending. And after almost every Mets game, Doris would be on the air with some talkie. As she rehashed the game, always interrupted by a constant cough brought on by her battles with breast and lung cancer, the sheer intensity of her love for the Mets always came through. That's what was so cool about Doris. She didn't have particularly startling insights, but man did she have passion. Day after summer day, night after summer night, she ground it out with her team. Most fans are pretenders. They really aren't totally plugged into all 162. Doris was always there. Even in late September, long after the Mets lost all hope. There wasn't a phoney bone in Doris' body. She liked Doc and Darryl, but she loved her Lenny. Doris had her favorite talkies too. Benigno. Jody McDonald. Suzyn Waldman. Ian (The Bird) Eagle. Don LaGreca. Over the years, she would call me with questions, mostly about sports talk radio. The last time I spoke with Doris was in June. Fox Sports wanted her to read the Mets lineup prior to a Subway Series interleague game at Yankee Stadium. Doris said she was too sick to go to the Bronx. I suspect she just didn't want to set foot in Yankee Stadium. If the game was at her beloved Shea, well, I still want to believe she would have been there, proudly reading the Mets lineup on TV. Today, following a memorial service in Rego Park, they will bury Doris Bauer, who died last week at the age of 58. The cancer finally got her. It took away a familiar voice. A voice full of concern for her Mets. It took away a piece of the radio night. Thank you, Doris. Thank you for your time and courtesy. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/story/137145p-121982c.html

I thought St.Louis fans were the best in baseball, that's all I seem to hear every time I tune in to watch a game they are featured in.

No, I am wrong, why did I think that?

Is that Jon Litner in the middle?

Next season we might not have any ties to the 2000 WS team, you would think the Mets would pick up his option especially with the money posted above, thing is I imagine Trax will get a better offer elsewhere.

Well I'm excited, now I have find out if SusCom will carry it, I'm sure they will, certainly SNY woulid seem to have top notch people in place to make this work, from reading the press release they want it to be more than just a Mets channel but a sports reporting channel...sounds great.

Any word on this, what time wa the press conference set for?It will be interesting to see how the play by play guys shake out,Dave O'Brien according to guys that follow this stuff in the papers is the lead candidate for the top job, where does that lead Ted,Fran and Keith, my guess is that Fran and his production company will probably produce original shows for the network.

I certainly wouldn't throw her out of the bed for farting...

His control problems are being blamed on this injury...so when did Loop last appear in a game?, probably his last as a Met

Looper to have surgery Monday, he's got a chip in his shoulder.

Great pic, the guy behind you with the red shirt is giving you a weird look..

Yeah what's that about,and why is Willie walking laps aroud the stadium with his staff, it would be foolish to get rid of Peterson, I went looking for a thread about the Mets new TV station, couldn't find it, the Mets will launch it tomorrow, http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-sbmnotes284445971sep28,0,4504861.story?coll=ny-mets-print

I assume you mean because he took that hit last night? ]Mike Piazza left last night's game in the sixth inning after being hit on the wrist by Victor Zambrano's wild pitch, but he said the ball missed his healing pisiform bone. "It's OK," Piazza said. "It's a little sore. I should be all right. I'll just keep icing it and see what happens." ... Recently, manager Willie Randolph has joined some his coaches walking laps around the stadium, and it is interesting to note only one member of the core group has not taken part in the pregame sessions: pitching coach Rick Peterson. His job seems secure, but Randolph and GM Omar Minaya said the staff will be re-evaluated following the season, with possible changes

OotS for the 28th, Ramon Hernadez just hit a grannie and the Padres lead the Giants 9 to 6...

I'll take that Johnny if it's 3 years at $21/22 Million, or 4 years at 28/30 Million, not a chance though for 4 years at $40 which is what he will probably want/get, but surely your chart of pitchers that got big deals last season would be food for thought for GM's wanting him...JD send that thread out now, spam MLB with it.

I just heard on the FAN that the Marlins don't have to pay Burnett a $50,000 clause for innings pitched, he missed the clause by 1 inning,now that kinda money is probably nothing to him but still, and any reasons given for McKeon being called negative?, so he goes from GrandFather type figure when they won the WS to a negaitve....winning hides it all I suppose.

WOW, LaRussa won't like that, the pinch runner had to be a rookie,any idea who it was?

Astros win, so it's official, the Mets are done but not with the winning...go Mets

Great win, these past ten days or so has shown that this team still has a lot of fight in them, does Heilman's success out of the bullpen ask more questions or is he the answer as the closer?, at the least he should be in the mix.

The Braves are the NL East champs again...

Good find, I must start reading TSG more now..

Oh I'm very interested, thnks for the score, here's what I want to happen, the Indians win the WC, the MFY and the Red Sox go into Sunday's game all tied, Schilling throws a gem and they MFY's are done....what time is the game Sunday?

Great freaking game.....still I would rather the Phills win the WC than the Astros....
