I know that I must do what's right Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti [youtube]yjbpwlqp5Qw&feature=fvst[/youtube]

Go, Dickey, Go.

Mount Kilimanjaro Very often I dream Africa, Where I belonged to the land in my previous births. Once I talked friendly with mount Kilimanjaro. 'I want to draw you on a canvas for an Exhibition.' 'First you have to climb, my dear painter.' But I missed several occasions and never tried again. Now when I see her in my dreams as a sculptor She acts like a stranger And never talk about our bygone incidents. I feel like a dwarf beneath the mountain. --- Nimal Dumhinga

How selfish of Dickey to post such a beautiful scene while we freeze , SC turned all the way up I'm guessing we won't see that scene framed and mounted in Sandy's office.

I wonder if Bobby Ojeda is still pissed off about all this.

Edgy MD Jan 14 2012 12:35 PM Re: Ascending with Dickey

The funny thing is that the stories about Ojeda --- particularly from the year the Mets had six starters and he and Darling alternated being the odd man out --- suggests that his lifestyle didn't exactly place him under glass while he was pitching for the Mets. To say nothing of drunk boating at night as an Indian.

That Racaniello guy gets some cool vacations. Wasn't he also the guy who Wright dared to bike from Jersey to PSL ... in February and with no money?

Chase Utley's up? Bah, I struck that guy out 6 times while climbing Kilimanjaro.

Raised Altitude. Rarefied Air. Ready Ascender. Roof of Africa?

a recap NY times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/20/sport ... ss&emc=rss Looks like Wilpon opened up his checkbook to at LEAST 12k (his crowdrise is at 88k right now: http://www.crowdrise.com/bombayteenchal ... ccess#topp) and he also made an appearance on cnn: http://www.amazinavenue.com/2012/1/19/2 ... lier-today

his latest update

metirish Jan 20 2012 08:02 AM Re: Ascending with Dickey

Fair play to Wilpon for his donation that put them "over the top". Picture to the right of the Times article for a brief second I thought it was Dicley.

Edgy MD Jan 20 2012 08:04 AM Re: Ascending with Dickey

I just set beautiful free at my end.

A Boy Named Seo Jan 20 2012 09:15 AM Re: Ascending with Dickey

Cheers to RA Dickey for giving a shit about something important and bigger than himself and sports, and actually doing something about it instead of sending a tweet saying, "this is really bad, yall!" #donate_some$$. I'm not gonna climb Kilimanjaro or anything, but I just gave Bombay Teen Challenge my Friday night fancy craft beer money & will drink High Life (from a can) tonight instead. #RADickey #ChampagneOfBeers #donate_some$$ #irony

Although he is traveling, at least he is getting exercise. : ) It's a long season, gotta stay conditioned.

For his effort, Slowey gets shipped by the Roxx to Cleveland for a young power arm in Zach Putnam.

Edgy MD Jan 21 2012 09:10 PM Re: Ascending with Dickey

Mount Tal's Hill, I think.
