    Sad to say, I'm rather vanilla actually.

    Excellent, Metropolitanos night can't be far off.

    I don't really mess around under the hood too much to be of any help to you.

    Mmmm...macaroni & cheese, ice cream and a comfy bed. All in a bright blue & orange building. Coincidence that a man named Howard Johnson ended up wearing the blue & orange for the Mets? I think not! First time I saw HoJo was in the first World Series I watched. I probably laughed at his name. And his funky moustache. Then he became a Met, and eventually a very good Met. I remember 1987 when he slugged and swiped his way into the 30-30 club (nobody talks about the 30-30 club anymore). HoJo amazed us all and Whitey Herzog was convinced he was cheating and kept taking his bats. Ah, the innocent days when the bats were juiced not the players. I was not following baseball in HoJo's later years, so I missed his sad decline. I still remember him fondly and glad he's still involved with the Mets in the minors.

    You've got to admit though that the Boy Genius really screwed up signing Wells to 2 years.

    Wasn't there a Strawberry/Hernandez fistfight in 1987?

    It looks like we've got ourselves an old-fashioned ass-whuppin'!

    Y'all are way behind on this.

    I'll have to watch it again but I recall a scene in Still, We Believe with Pedro doing just what Bret is suggesting, talking about ways of approaching the batters with the other pitchers. Mind you it was a brief scene, it was in 2003 and it was with the Red Sox, plus I'm basing this on my sieve-like memory.

    If only managers would experiment more they'd learn that some pitchers are only effective in the first inning. One day we'll see the "openers" revolution where a fireballer shuts down the opposition for the first inning and then an 8-inning reliever comes in. SC=100

You'll also find the link blacked out at other times: during their coverage of Net basketball games, NJDevils hockey, plus various national games that they cover like weekly NFL games (Monday/Sunday nights) or Bowl games, NBA playoffs, etc. You've just listed all the things worth listening to on WFAN. Why is this available online again?

    So you think you're a sports journalist.

    This is good fodder for a Grumpy Old Man rant: "In my day, you had to get paint, a bedsheet and come up with a creative idea to walk on the field at Shea. Now these whippersnappers just line up to run on the field!"

    Rockin' Doc does these polls a lot better than I did last year. Good work Doc!

    If I recall correctly, the banner tradition (if not Banner Day itself) started at the Polo Grounds and survived a move to Shea so it should be able to move to the new ballpark too.

    Not getting much of a response so I'm bumping this just in case folks didn't see it.
  20. Willets Point
    Does this have something to do with Clemens going to the clubhouse to shave after he's left the game?

    When I was in high school I got hit on the hand during practice. By the pitching machine.

    I'm achin' for a triple happiness, but it looks like it will be defered. OE: Atlanta's not playing today anyway so it would only be double happiness. O2E: But it's not going to happen anyway. Oh and the Yankees are going to win the World Series this year.
