  1. The Topps airbrush artists were, um, creative at times. https://beckett-www.s3.amazonaws.com/news/news-content/uploads/2021/02/agee-spectacular-400.jpg>
  2. =metsmarathon post_id=85950 time=1645044275 user_id=83] join us! you know you want to! it's both fun AND challenging!
  3. I thought that happened last fall when I saw him getting a standing O in the Nats final game.
  4. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/baseballFormer Labor Secretary Robert Reich offers an illuminating personal account of the 1994-95 strike negotiations.
  5. Bleacher Report: https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10026801-mlb-lawyer-says-minor-league-players-shouldnt-be-paid-during-spring-training.amp.htmlMLB Lawyer Says Minor League Players Shouldn't Be Paid During Spring Training Well that's just evil. I'm guessing this isn't getting settled anytime soon if that's where the owner's are at.
  6. Lenny Dykstra is in the midst of an extended Twitter beef with adult contemporary singer/songwriter Richard Marx. Who needs the hot stove?
  7. It has some good moments but is basically an average romantic comedy.
  8. Not for nothing, but we got 50 years of baseball as it ought to be, so it can't be said this was a rushed decision.
  9. There really needs to be a 50-hour multi-part set of uncut concert footage. Gotta say the energy of The 5th Dimension performance really changed my impression of that band.
  10. If the CBA isn't resolved, the Old Timers might be the Mets' regular lineup for the season.
  11. My biggest memory of Gerald Williams is of him engaging in fisticuffs with fellow future Met Pedro Martinez. [media=youtube]j1A3F7g537Q[/media] Most bench-clearing brawls are just posturing, but Ice got some serious punches in.
  12. Psst...everyone meet at Citi Field on August 27 for a surprise birthday party for KC.
  13. Everything that Greg likes about LFGM is why I hate it. There's an entire sports news industry out there committed to the idea that we all most be absolutely FURIOUS and OUTRAGED and just plain ANGRY about sports all the time. The cover is the equivalent of a split-screen on Sports Center where six different middle-aged white guys in six different places are each yelling louder and louder than the other to prove that they are they are the most virulently ANGRY. Because if you're not constantly ANGRY and OUTRAGED, you don't really care do you? I don't think its healthy and its certainly not what draws me to sports. I'll take the fleeting moment of beauty in Almora's catch any time, although there were a number of better covers that were eliminated earlier while the LFGM RAGE MACHINE chugged it's way into the semifinals.
  14. LFGM must be defeated. Other than that, I don't care who wins.
  15. As someone who prefers celebratory covers to wound-licking, this disappoints me.
  16. The soundtrack was released to today.
  17. I saw "David Wright" trending on Twitter and it was just a bunch of people talking about how much they like David Wright and think he's a good guy, which I found heartwarming.
  18. I recall Innis being brought in to relieve Doug Sisk and McCarver saying something like "Innis is in, and Doug out" over a shot of Sisk sitting in the dugout. Sorry that is what I remember best about Jeff's Mets career.
  19. I only just now learned that the time on the ballot has been reduced from 15 to 10 years and that Bonds and Clemens reached their limit. I kind of expected that they would get in eventually on 15-year balloting process. I guess they'll have to wait for the PED Era Committee to vote.
  20. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FJ_HKAkXEAIVbbz?format=jpg> Former Met Pedro Martinez standing by when Papi got the call.
  21. I'm always in the middle of a dream.
  22. What time is the announcement?
  23. I'm going with the celebration of crushing the MFYs with 3 HRs as the right one (especially since if the Yankees had won one more regular season game they probably would've advanced farther in the postseason).
