How nasty was the collision ?, Beltran , Cameron bad?

What's going on there now, are they introducing the Mets, who's doing it, Howie? , is Ralph there?

Mr. Zero wrote: For the life of me I can't imagine what kind of P.R. meeting would produce the idea: "Let's have a wax figure of David Wright ride the 7 train to Shea". Then again, probably the same type of brainstorming that generated: "Lets have an apple pop out of a top hat whenever a Met hits a home run". The local watering hole for opening ceremoinies and a couple innings I hope. Probably the same brainstorming session that " pick the eighth inning song" came from.

Take the #7 train, it might be fun. ] 'Wright' boards train to last Shea opener By Bill Hutchinson Daily News Staff Writer Tuesday, April 8th 2008, 4:00 AM If you spot Mets star David Wright on the No. 7 train Tuesday, don't mistake his waxy look for Opening Day jitters at Shea. To celebrate the last opening at the 44-year-old Queens ballpark, a wax figure of the Amazin's third baseman will ride the train from the 42nd St. station to the game. The life-size replica will leave Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Times Square for the first time since being unveiled last year to commemorate Shea's final season. Weather watchers are forecasting balmy temperatures for today's 1:10 p.m. first pitch against the Philadelphia Phillies. It won't be hot enough to cause Wright a meltdown, said meteorologist Mike Silva of the National Weather Service. He said morning clouds will give way to sunshine with temperatures in the mid-50s. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is rolling out its "nostalgia train" to ferry the waxy Wright and other dignitaries, including Mr. Met. The train will feature an original "Bluebird" car, the type that ran on the 7 line when Shea opened in 1964. Mets officials are to board the train with the Wright statue at 11:30 a.m. and help the MTA pitch its "Take the Train to the Game" initiative at a noon press conference at the Willets Point/Shea Stadium stop.

Of course I had to go look at it , the opening lines were enought to make me gag. ] It's important to note that Derek Jeter, famously protective of his private life as he is, would sooner publish a list of all the women he has dated than come out of a ballgame because of an injury.

Yeah you're right , I thought he was brought to the Bronx as a first baseman.

It really is amazing the tripe they talk up there, I watched some of the game last night and was watching when Jeter left the game, John Flaherty nearly fell out of the booth telling us how "Derek plays with so many knocks and bruises that this is probably an aggravation of one of those". It makes so much sense to move Rodriguez over to SS instead of playing the likes of William Betemit who is a first baseman from what I remember.

I might have guessed Collazo . I have a memory of Muniz pitching OK for the Mets last season , so did Collazo IIRC.

Nice one , I love it when the team opens up at home in the second week, huge excitement again.

="soupcan"]I'm very excited about tomorrow. It will be my 24th consecutive Shea Stadium Opening Day attended (it could actually be the 26th, but the earliest I have recollection of is '85) and the first with one of my children. I feel like I'm passing something on to him. Just wanted to share that. Super cool , enjoy.

I read this on your site earlier and not that I would know but it looks like it's a spring training kit. Fantastic picture .

And he's here through 2015....WTF was Minaya thinking?

AG/DC wrote: Yes, cover the Gnats. Of course. I just hope they aren't as bloody awful. Somebody pick up Sandgnat at LGA, please. Yes please someone pick him up , we can't have him taking a cab from LGA to Shea.

Is it fair to say that it's one of those movies that the critics love but the movie going public care little for?

Fuck yeah that's what I call a big shot loving Mets fan , great to see you.

No there is not, it's at your discretion.

I think it's safe to say that studio magic had something to do with that. I remember at the time that was a controversy with a whole slew of singers like Astley who all came from the same producer, studio techniques were rumored to be involved.
