I guess the print guys get their own conference. I mean what's Russ Salzberg gonna bring me? I don't think I've ever heard Tracksuit's voice. Was waiting for his question. He would ask, "Um, could you guys, like, tell me what's happening? The only news I broke during this whole hiring process was that the Mets were going to interview the Phillies bench coach and that didn't turn out to be accurate. So, like, could you help?" He'd also ask why there were only white guys up there...

Supposedly, he is tight with Collins.

bmfc1 wrote: "I'm chuffed , ignore the negativity from bmfc.....he's a real comedian that fella." No worries. He was my 4th pick out of the Final Four but he hasn't lost a game yet so he's got a clean slate with me. I hope he's the best manager they've ever had. If the Smart Three like him, then I trust their judgement. ugh. He was my fifth pick from the Final Four, but what bmfc said regarding trusting the judgment of this front office.

My oldest saw HP at last night's midnight show, and said it was the best movie of the series.

I'm practically giddy with a nearly unbearable lightness of being. This off-season is going too well so far.... I fear that this is just a dream, and will be awakened soon to a harsh reality...

Amber had Burkhardt in the dugout asking him questions and he was so flustered he couldn't answer any , she also posed three questions to Keith......he was stumped on this one..... in 1986 WS Game Six the Mets made two fielding errors...who made them? I remember Ray Knight's error... Um - Alexi ftw...

If they had built Citi with Shea dimensions, people would still be calling for them to reduce/adjust them. I problem is that they have all of these stupid nooks and crannies for no reason. Make it a fair park like Shea for both sides of the plate.

They should just replicate the Shea dimensions where possible, and just be done with it.

Ken Levine, Emmy-winning writer, director, producer, and some time major league baseball announcer eulogizes his friend here.

i love how Richie Ashburn was throwing his hands out during the rundown in an attempt to deflect a throw...

Every time I watch that video, I come away with the same observation. It wasn't a tirade - it was calculated. Why else would he tell the catcher to get out of the way?

Gotta love the beginning of the first comment... This seems out of character for the Yankees, who are normally a lot better at community service and engagement than Flushing hahahahahahahahaha

Was called "5020" by his Braves teammates for his usual line in the box score..

I don't agree with it being ridiculous. I thought it was a smart move on Jerry's part to just get him in a game asap, to get his feet wet, for lack of a better term...

I have this fear that not winning game one is still going to bit the Rangers in the ass...
