Great clip, just love the Piazza fist pump going to first. Miss you Mike, I guess he will forever be my fave Met, in my time as a Mets fan there has been no one better , or no one I liked more anyway.

Rain delay brilliance, Mets Year book 1968. The opening scene features Koosman saying goodbye to his misses and his own narration as he is shown driving to the park, it looks and sounds like z scene from Taxi Driver.

Feliciano's throw reminded me of Payton's in the WS.

prick-teasers

Only 33....I would have guessed more , seems like he has been around forever.

Jeez , sorry to read this Edgy......

I really can't be bothered voting 25 times......did I hear correctly that at one point in the late 50's early 60's they held two All-Star Games in the same season?

Here's a fun fact , this is Bob , a chicken that Lorcan adopted when we were there for New years, we would feed him every morning ....he got fat....he gave birth to a bunch of chick the week after we left....Bob is now Bobbi

the missus tells me the weather has been horrible there for weeks, near constant rain, bmfc can attest to that.

Vic Sage wrote: i liked it more than little vic did. I think its a heartbreaking rumination on growing up, even mortality, that is more for adults than children. Can a kid really relate to the scene where the toys realize they're going into the fire and hold hands for comfort? Mine didn't. He preferred TS2. But i found it profoundly moving moment, as was the final scene of Andy playing with his toys one last time, with the little girl, before heading off to college (i.e., adulthood). Sure, there are some similar narrative beats to TS1 and 2, but they serve a different end, and so i viewed them as rearranged pieces to make a slightly different puzzle, and i don't fault it. Yeah , it had some great moments , the fire scene , Woody the last to hold hands, as if he finally realized this is it , he'd tried everything to keep them altogether but if need be then they would meet their end here together......that scene with Andy and the girl, the way Woody had manipulated it.......nary a dry eye in the house.

This from Ken Davidoff in an article imploring the Mets to " go for it"......a loss of two and that will change Alas, the day didn't bring only positive developments for the Mets. Jenrry Mejia, the prodigal former mop-up man, left his start for Double-A Binghamton after one-plus innings, citing stiffness in his right shoulder. The Mets didn't want to include Mejia in a trade package for Seattle's Cliff Lee anyway, but if Mejia goes down for even a short while, that 1) eliminates him as a trade chip; 2) deletes him from the Mets' internal depth chart for starting pitchers and 3) pretty much confirms that this year was a fiasco for the 20-year-old righthander. http://www.newsday.com/sports/columnists/ken-davidoff/davidoff-mets-again-show-it-s-time-to-go-for-it-1.2058813

stealing the wonderful title of the Francesa thread.The first paragraph is Newsday In what appeared to be a staged moment (an ESPN camera just happened to be there), Alex Rodriguez interrupted his pregame stretch and trotted over to greet Joe Torre, who was standing behind the batting cage. The two chatted, smiling, for about 45 seconds.Fake After sharing the same field without a word for two days, Alex Rodriguez and Joe Torre shared a moment together before Sunday night's series finale. "I thought it was important for me to go over there," said Rodriguez, who went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday night's 8-6 win. "I thought it was the mature thing to do. I felt in my heart it was important to not let things linger, to build on what I've tried to build here the last two years." Said Torre: "I was glad we got a chance to shake hands." A-Rod had not acknowledged Torre during the first two days of the series, but as he stretched before batting practice Sunday night, Dodgers third base coach Larry Bowa walked over to A-Rod and whispered something in his ear. Rodriguez walked over to Yankees media relations director Jason Zillo to have a few words, then jogged toward the batting cage, heading directly for Torre. "You don't want to let things linger," A-Rod said. "You don't know when the next time Joe and I are going to see each other. At the end of the day, I just wanted to be a gentleman and do the right thing." The manager jokingly held his hands up as though he was fending off Rodriguez, who countered with some shadow-boxing moves. The two men shook hands and spoke for 30-45 seconds, at the end of which Rodriguez was heard saying, "Thanks, Joe." "It was a big zoo on Friday and I didn't want to get caught up in that," Rodriguez said. "It took me a few days to get my thoughts, and I did that today. It was a nice exchange."

Francouer "I was trying to add it up, like in the seventh or eighth inning," Francoeur said. "We played, pretty much, some of the top teams in the AL. I think more than anything you always hear people say, 'The American League is this, is better than (the National League).' But we know we can play with them. We beat good teams."

Yeah , I've not enjoyed the NL at all...I picked up Willis to start against St. Louis.....desperate much?

This is what I dislike about rotisserie leagues, you start out bad and you are done for the season, it's a fight to stay out of last place.

Mejia pulled from his start today with shoulder stiffnes.

No. Just got back from New Roc City, I can totally see how Lunchpail would think it was scary. Lorcan was fine watching it but did ask to sit in my lap when things started getting intense , and I was kind of surprised with how intense it was , throughly enjoyed it though, an excellent movie, stay for the closing credits and you will be rewarded.

Santana's getting slapped around in the first ...4 runs....40 pitches......and carrying three catchers.

No need for apologies , I take the piss but never with the intention of insulting or upsetting anyone.

ESPN reporting a four year offer will be made and accepted. Valentine they say loves the Marlins scoucting network and new stadium.
