Who was the third base coach for the D-Backs , when Keith was walking off the field he gave him a warm greeting and several other Mets types stopped to talk with him.....wearing #7 I think

Towers is with the MFY now days....his work for the Padres is paying dividends now . What has Josh Byrnes done to illicit a hard on from you LWFS. Dan O'Dowd , Dombrowski are names I would like to see, it's all for naught though as I agree with bucket up there on Ricco and Wally.

Davidoff had a live chat today , got to it late but he speculates that Manuel will stay the remainder and that Omar will be reassigned within the org. I guess if you are looking for both a GM and a manager you hired the GM first?, you can't hire a GM and then tell him who to hire can you?

Yeah , I can't see Manuel getting fired now. The time to fire him in hopes of saving the season has passes IMO.

I wonder if Piazza was involved with the Italian team , last I saw of him in the SNY booth I think he mentioned he was heading over there to coach with them again.

Hard for me to feel anything other than bile when I see Perez coming in and walking guys, giving up runs and so on.

I was there today , got a call this morning asking if I wanted tickets, the pre-game ceremony was nice. I thought it might be louder but it's hard to tell when you are there , especially at Citi Field. It was really great to hear from Cashen and Johnson , need to see those two around the place more. I have expected Gooden to talk about recent events , then I remembered he's not a politician and owes me nothing. He got a good laugh when introducing his family he reminded everyone that " I've got a lot of kids, this might take some time". Strawberry was the only one to thank the WIlpon's by name , probably gave the best overall speech , he looks and sounds great. I thought he might end his speech with a plug for his new restaurant but he's got class. The game started great and I thought we were in for a good day , then the arse fell out of it and that was that , the friend I brought with me is a MFY fan and he was sooooo impressed with Citi Field , with the Mets down 8-1 I took him around the whole place, at one point he remarked to me that he liked it a lot more than the new MFY stadium, says he wants to take his young girls there . The Mets HOF & Museum was worth the price on it's own , like an eegit I posed with the 1969 WS trophy, bought the kid a Mets cap and after getting home turned right around and brought the mother in-law to JFK.....and the traffic was a nightmare coming back in to the Bronx both times. Stopped at the way over-rated Five Guys Burger joint on the way home.

A subdued celebration all around. Well done you Meties. The percocet is killing me...

I absolutely love this part of the game....walking two hitters to get to Beltran.

Gary , Ron and Kevin toeing the party line on trades , not that I disagree with them.

It's all gone

Shit , if only Omar had made a trade today...any trade at all....maybe , just maybe this doesn't happen. Thanks again Omar.

Geez , after all Gary and Ron's talk about Parnell doing well in the seventh translating to him being the eight inning guy he's gettting hit hard. The search continues

Great stat from the booth and Elias Mark Reynolds entering the game had 699 strike outs in 534 games........ Stan Musial had 696 strike outs in his 22 MLB career , Joe D had 369 in his 13 seasons.

Very nice......

The D-Backs can just about field a team....fucks sake they were busy.

Huge buzz about #600 huh?

Brilliant , I was even reading it in various voices......good stuff dude.
