  1. I beg your pardon, but I've been predicting the Yankees will win it all since 2001 and I haven't failed yet.
  2. Speed Racer is one of those things people talked about nostalgically in college that I'd never heard about. I didn't watch enough TV as a kid.
  3. I doubt any Florida teams will be in first place come September. Oh, and the Yankees will hoist the 2008 World Series trophy, blah, blah, blah...
  4. ="Farmer Ted"]I think I saw a rainbow flag on the back of the Cadillac his daddy gave him. Sure it wasn't a Deadhead sticker? Don't look back. You can never look back
  5. Damn, Steve Jeets dissed the Premier of Bermuda. I wonder if he wore shorts with his suit.
  6. I think Willie is going to get a fired, hot and toasty sammich from Subway.
  7. Infant creeper...hmm.

  9. Wow a double derivative logo. I'll have to order one.
  10. So I signed up with Meetup.com recently and found a group of Mets fans in Boston and went for my first meet up tonight and the game was rained out. Pity.
  11. ="SteveJRogers"]Stuff like this makes me want to discontinue this thread! ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease...
  12. Benjamin Grimm wrote: ="Willets Point"]Is Casey Hodges related to Gil or do we just like him because he's has the names of two Mets managers? Not related to Gil, but the son of Ron. Ah, wrong Hodges. So he's the son of an English accounting professor.
  13. Can we say it was a diving catch into the stands to make it sound better?
  14. "Songs From the Attic" is the best album because it gives the full-band treatment that the songs deserve. I have a soft spot for "Glass Houses" if only because it was the first record I owned, and by record I mean vinyl LP.

  16. IIRC, that was a reaction to Mike Hampton's return to Shea as a Colorado Rocky on Aug. 21, 2001. I've tried these facts as search terms with no luck, but maybe they'll help someone else.
  17. Bupkis.

  19. A Washington ballpark should have a marble facade with big columns and arches. Seriously. You take the exterior of say Washington's Union Station and make a few modifications and you'd have a great looking entrance to a ballpark.
  20. IIRC, I think they argued that the loss of Ray Knight also hurt the Mets although Knight's post-Mets career was nothing to write home about. I think they argued that the Mets lacked Knight's "fighting spirit" with the milquetoast players they'd acquired by 1992, but I would think that fighter or not, Knight would still suck at the plate by that time.
  21. ="Benjamin Grimm"] And Zwilling played for three different Chicago teams. That's fascinating. I wonder if Zwilling is the only player to play for Chicago in the AL, NL, and Federal League. Or perhaps the only player to have his entire career on those three franchises.
  22. I think my problem was that on one hand they loved the "bad boy" Mets of the 80's who won games while living fast & large, and hated how the Mets management was watering down the team by trying to make a roster of good citizens. On the other hand they bitch about how the "bad boy" Mets treated them badly (which is pretty much a tangent off what FK said).
  23. ="Triple Dee"]Can somebody please tell me whether they think The Worst Team Money Can Buy is a worthwhile read. It's good toilet reading for a few laughs.
