Let’s see, closed, as Cooter’s, in 1991… Address 5164 Richmond which is in an area near a strip mall retail complex called Galleria, and the near by Westin was where the Mets stayed back in that time… Right now Google Maps is telling me the site was around Mediterranean restaurant called Dimassi’s w...

I feel ike everything is going Scoresward.

Nope, just said the wrong name.

I’ll see if I can quickly go through a rabbit hole to see what’s there now, etc…

Going to be doing a week long Austin-Houston trip in mid July, and looking at least at the Friday the 16th game vs Oakland (still weird thinking that’s a divisional matchup). Was in Houston last July, but the ‘Stros were on the road. Did get a cheapie tour (just the HOF corridor, a bullpen level par...

Some chryon writer at WPIX news had Mookie Wilson on the mind!

David Green. He was the Nicaraguan outfielder compared to Willie Mays with a better am, Andre Dawson with more speed, etc when he was on the way up. Key figure in the trade for not one but two Hall of Famers when he went from the Brewers system to the Cardinals' for Ted Simmons and Rollie Fingers. ...

Was down a vintage Tonight Show rabbit hole over the weekend, and found this. TW0_npkgG_M It’s late in the clip, but Johnny brings up the future Met Phil Linz’ harmonica incident. He manages to bring up a win streak the Mets were on as the MFYs were on a losing run, and takes a dig on how things too...

And also why did this need to take place in the early 20th century? Joaquin Phoenix is 45. I don't know what age Joker was supposed to be but that seems about right. That means Joker, in the future when Batman is Batman, is like a 60ish year old man? That doesn't really seem to track. It is meant t...

He's in danger of being Wally Backmanned. So... if he gets fired before the season starts, does he retain his position as the 22nd Mets manager, with the new guy being number 23, or is it like it never happened, and the new guy will be 22? I know someone who maintains a Mets database, and he may ha...

I also still remember Jeff Torborg being very high on him. To the point of saying that fans would love watching him.

DAMN IT WOLFIE!

BTW, my point about the uber popular podcast, was that since both hosts are highly noted persons in their professions, and generally lean towards not being very negative towards anyone’s private persona. Case in point, a more well known guest, on a live recording in front of an audience of the show,...

The late British writer Christopher Hichens was solidly in the anti-Mother Teresa camp and wasn't shy about saying so. Not a yardstick by any means, but in the last year or so I’ve listened to two podcasts who’s focus have nothing to do with anything about her, including an uber popular one, mentio...

Laura Bush killed a guy? As a 17-year old she ran a stop sign, and crashed into a car that killed the other driver. It was an accident and she wasn't charged. The line "Oh yeah! Laura Bush killed a guy!" is from Family Guy, and not meant to say its her Chappaquiddick or anything, but as a...

All kidding aside, the coverage of that story was just mind-boggling. As if every member of the media had lost all common sense. https://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/16/sports/baseball/sorrow-and-questions-in-a-land-of-dreams.html It is curious that this piece from that week is the only “investigation” ...
