He had no special reason to be nice. But every time the Padres came to town, Gwynn would greet me warmly. He noticed things others would not. One time we spoke, I was wearing a Vanderbilt golf shirt. Gwynn noticed the logo and asked if I went there. When I said yes, he lit up. The Padres beat writer Buster Olney, of The San Diego Union-Tribune, also went there, Gwynn said excitedly. �You�ve got to meet him!� he said. Pause for a moment to consider how rare this is. Few players would bother to notice a detail on a reporter�s shirt. Few would know which college the team�s beat writer had attended. Fewer still would then offer, with genuine enthusiasm, to play matchmaker. But that was Gwynn. When our interview ended, he went back to the clubhouse, found Olney and brought him to the dugout to meet me. A few years later Olney was writing for The New York Times, and he recommended me for a job. Gwynn had set me on my career path. Epic

Wow, I would never have thought that, as bad as they have been, a run of sorts is what is needed

A Chris Young HR

Rangers gave up a PP already , no score edit..Kings just scored as i posted this

They have the hockey game on the big screen various beat writers are tweeting

Sure by now most of you have seen this, but if not then salivate , that's a 300 foot throw btw [youtube:1yywck0i]1P3br_geYFI[/youtube:1yywck0i]

Mets might announce a crowd of 28,000 but there won't be that many there ....

Nothing from what I have seen...I mean who has even thought about Loduca recently....not a bad way to get your name out there I suppose.

Hard to a team taking this contract, Mets would have to eat some to get anything back I suppose .. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/post/_/id/59342/david-wright-year-by-year-breakdown since LoDuca said that Twitter is certainly talking about it , more in the negative towards Paul from what I see

Lamar Johnson Lamar getting a lot of twitter fame recently old friend Brian Bannister ?@RealBanny Lamar Johnson for president. #LGM Bannister still loves his mets https://twitter.com/RealBanny

True, since I guess 2006 there is an element of Mets fandom that absolutely suck , it is as if we felt entitled or something......

Yes and I am sure the front office would like that theory to go around......the fans suck, not us

here it is Meanwhile, Hudgens told Newsday about the critical SNY booth: "I'm glad I don't have to listen to those guys anymore. I just shake my head at the old-school guys that have it all figured out. Go up there and swing the bat. Well what do you want to swing at? It just confounds me. It's just hilarious, really."

Oh, it's the fans fault, it us that is forcing Tejada to swing for the fences each at bat.......thanks Dave

A Frazier double breaks it up

Ryu just rumbled home from 2nd on a base hit from Crawford....4-0

Clarification needed....fired or reassigned?

He says that recently Gomez informed him, while holding a plate full of kiwi, that the fruit had three times as much potassium as bananas. "I asked him how he heard it," Braun says. "He told me, now that he's wealthy, he's been Googling rich-people conversations, so he knows what to talk to wealthy people about, and he came across that data." I love that ......

Somehow hearing Gary say the Mets last scored a run Tuesday is worse than hearing his say it's been 21 innings .....they way this is goign he'll be saying Mets last scored a month ago.

It's all going pear shaped Terry and Sandy

#FreeJuanLagares is now a thing on twitter......
