I heard some of the George Thedore interview.Highlights were basically that he loves his 15 minutes, hopes nobody forgets about him now that Beltran/Cameron has eclipsed Theodre/HahnI didn't hear him comparing his collision with the one yesterday unfortunately but I caught these tidbits:Best memory of being a major leaguer was playing with Willie Mays. Told an anecdote about how Willie caught a fly ball but didn't have the arm anymore to throw it in so Willie tossed it to an unsuspecting Stork to make the throw in. George, not expecting it, dropped the ball and the runners either advanced or scored. Theodore was given an error on the play. Said George: "I was and am honored to have that error." I thought that was a cool thing to say.On how ihe got the nickname: "A minor league teammate gave it to me." No explanation, no elaboration. Weird. I'll take a wild stab at it George - could it be because you friggin' look like a stork?On the '73 Mets: "We had a lot of injuries that year, that's why our record wasn't better than it was. When healthy we could've played with any team".

Glavine's a strikeout machine.Still no score.

You're saying that both teams have wood?

Ahem.In-Game-Thread.The only Khalil's to be discussed here are the one's playing.

He doesn't rate a name MFS?Why didn't you just write 'old black guy dies'?

I will be at Fenway for that series by hook or by crook.

How's a white guy get named Khalil?[url=www.martinsquest.com/personal/khalil_greene.htm]Oh, okay...[/url]

Thanks, I'll try to remember that.

Thanks guys I appreciate it but for some reason the video keeps freezing up and quitting way before I see the catch.Normally I wouldn't really care but this play has now been so built up that I have to see it.Damn.

Wow - there are complete articles devoted to this one play in both today's New York Times and New York Post.The articles are accompanied by still photos of the catch but I still have yet to see video of it.Can anyone give me a link?

Pedro not so awesome tonight.4-0 Pods bottom 3.

Yancy's a buzzkill.

Liked it very much. Lotsa good one liners. I gave it a 7.Best part was when Owen/Luke Wilson (can't remember which one is which) tries to crash weddings by himself.Count me in on the Rachel McAdams fan club as well please.

Mr. Met is the dog's balls (translation: 'very cool')I would like to have a Mr. Met wristwatch.

I actually might have that card.What did the '77 Topps cards look like?

="Edgy DC"]Some top players of the passing era:Bonds: Not officially proven, but establishedMcGwire: Not officially proven, but establishedPalmeiro: ProvenCanseco: Acknowledged and proud.Camininti: ProvenSheffield: Not officially proven, but established, and he's been more frank than Bonds.Giambi: Not officially proven, but seriously established.Sosa: Not established, but highly suspected, and besides was caught corkin'.Clemens: Highly suspected.Piazza: Suspected.I think you could state that Giambi is 'proven'.Piazza? I've never even heard his name mentioned as a suspect. He was great in his twenties and early thirties, got hurt and then aged as his numbers declined. Seems pretty sensible and natural for a catcher.I've suspected Clemens but assumed that because he continues to excel and he must of course stopped juicing now if in fact he ever did that he's all natural.Silly me for assuming that the suspected guys must have stopped.

I'm stunned.Stunned at his stupidity mostly. Not surprised that he takes 'roids, just at the fact that continued to do so after everything that happened surrounding the allegations against him.What's next - McGwire, I-Rod and Sosa testing positive?Stop the freaking presses.

Favorite sportswriter of mine was the late great Jim Murray of the L.A Times.Talk about painting a word picture - the guy was blind in his later days and still covering events and spitting out weekly columns.I read everything he wrote, whether it be about baseball, horse racing or Chinese ping-pong. He was that good.

There is NO WAY the Dolans are going to deprive me of the Mets.If I have to go satellite I'll do it. I will.You hear me Dolans?! Do you?! I'll do it you bastards!

It was funny because he screwed it up!

My internet was down but my TV wasn't:Ted Robinson: "Camilo Pascual was one of the last cuban players ton come over before Castro came to power."FX: "You know, Castro wanted to be a major league pitcher..."Really Fran? Wow I never heard that story before...Oh wait yes I have - about a thousand frikkin' times!Moron. I hat him so damn much.

Awesome. Loved it. Samuel Jackson was great. Holly Hunter was great.Great story.Can't say enough good things about it.

Strawberry dug that windscreen.
