An entertaining game. I can only wish that the quality of SNY's HD coverage approached that of ESPN. Their games just look better on TV than any other network coverage out there. Having said that, watching the Braves lose is always good viewing.

I give it a thumbs up. Stupid? You bet. But funny nonetheless.

You'd have to think that if they were going to do this it would've been done by now.

Great read, thanks for sharing.

="John Cougar Lunchbucket"]Maudlin Rigo Beltran appearances were always livened up by the BeltranSexuals. That is hysterical and disturbing all at once. Nicely played.

="soupcan"]This thread has me remembering the summers of '77-'78. My friends and I in the upper deck in right field dressed in our costumes cheering on our favorite Dominican righthander, Nino Espinosa. We didn't need one since everyone knew us, but once we unfurled our banner there was no mistaking that we were... Nino's Ni�os! I think I have a picture of me at one his games somewhere...Oh, here's one: "El Nino is Spanish for... The Nino!" - Chris Farley

I would've liked to have sat in the upper deck as a member of Seaver's Beavers. Aside from chewing up hitters, the sexual innuendo inherent in this nickname puts it right off the top of the chart. Honorable mention to Anthony Young and the AY KY's. Lubricant = funny.

="Rockin' Doc"]Because he's PayRod, 99. When he speaks, the reporters just can't help themselves. Well, that explains why it's in the paper. Not why it's worthy of being there.

Someone let me know once this becomes newsworthy in any fashion. Thanks.

Listened to part of the game on XM on my way into work this morning. Will do the same tomorrow.

="metsguyinmichigan"]="Fman99"] How come Steve McQueen's character doesn't have a name? His character's name was Vin. Not sure why that didn't make it to the poster. Today would've been Steve McQueen's 78th birthday, ironically enough. I know this as this is also my son's third birthday. -
Read the book. I watched parts 2 and 3 this past weekend on my free HBO preview that I'm getting. I suppose I will miss the rest of them. Not too bad. Paul Giamatti can act, let there be no doubt of that.

I think a lot of this is the lasting image I have of these guys. Sure, Benitez had some postseason saves and McGraw tanked some. These things happen. Ultimately, I associate McGraw with being a winner and coming through in the clutch, being a leader and a beloved Met. And I associate Benitez with his biggest failures, his trying to throw every pitch 105 MPH and ignoring his other pitches, and his general huffiness and inabilitiy to take responsibility for his own shortcomings.

AG/DC wrote: I don't care about Jose Mesa. And I'm sure Irish has had his head examined many times. And your evidence for your postiion is that he failed in game one. And if you simulataneously eliminate anybody else with a high-profile failure, you're left with nobody. Whom did you vote for? We're not talking about a single high profile failure here. It's not like we didn't watch Benitez blow countless games against the Braves those last few years, and even a playoff game against the Giants earlier in those same playoffs. I voted for Tug McGraw, thanks. Give me Mr. "Ya Gotta Believe" over ol' Melty Magoo anytime.

AG/DC wrote: You're missing the point. And because a guy didn't doesn't mean he couldn't. All it conclusively means is that he didn't. Mariano Rivera may be the "Greatest Post-Season Closer of All Time," but Arizona didn't care in game seven in 2001. I think you're the one missing the point. Read anyone's account of that game and they'll tell you Mesa was scared shitless up there in game 7. Anyone, ANYONE, who claims they'd want Armando Benitez trying to close out game 7 for their team in the World Series should have their head examined. That's the point.

metirish wrote: A expected reaction to Benitez, I figure if we are at game seven then he would have closed the door a few times. Well, Jose Mesa closed out game 6 of the 1997 WS. Didn't help him much in the next game though...

Sweet lord, can we PLEASE get on to the games that count. This exhibition shit is causing me to go ca-ca-coo-coo.
