Teufel off to Buffalo

Associated Press wrote: BUFFALO, N.Y. — Tim Teufel is working his way up the New York Mets organization after being hired to manage the Buffalo Bisons, their Triple-A affiliate. Teufel has seven years experience managing in the minors, and had a 66-76 record in his first season at Double-A Binghamton last year. He takes over for Ken Oberkfell, who was promoted this offseason to be part of Terry Collins staff in New York. Teufel was a member of the 1986 World Series-champion Mets. He has a 403-480 record in the minors, and broke into coaching in 2003 by managing Brooklyn of the New York-Penn League. The Bisons also announced Friday that Ricky Bones will return as their pitching coach. Mike Easler has been hired as hitting coach.

Good for him, just curious. What kind of wages would a guy like TT get for that gig.

We can just use random alphanumeric characters to title our posts from here on out. Perfection has been achieved.

I only get it because my father used the phrase a lot when I was packing to go to college in Buffalo.

I'm surprised to learn that the song is about having sex on a train. (Or, more accurately, about preparing to have sex on a train.)

"And they're turning 'em away!"
