Re: IGT Game #2 Mets @ Hou Fri 3/28 8:10 PM

Howie said players get paid $10,000 for wearing the mic while on the field, as Lindor did this game. Did not know that!

Re: NY Mets 'Borough Race'

I like the food idea!

If you are keeping the pizza for Brooklyn, Queens gets a glorious poppy seed bagel, and Manhattan gets a giant deli sandwich or a pretzel from a street cart, what are you noshing on in the Bronx or Staten Island?

I think Clint Hurdle? I think he was here in 1985, went away for the glory year of 1986 and came back the following year?

Tell me that Andrew Cuomo is America's worst politician and you'll find out. Are you really threatening a forum member to agree with you or else? Of course not. But if some ninny has a seizure and thinks that a call to the FBI is necessary because some Mets fan showed up at Citi Field in a garish f...

Re: Pardon Pete Rose?

It should be an easy decision for Manfred. Making Rose eligible for the Hall of Fame and putting him in the Hall of Fame are of course two different things. I would imagine making him eligible sends him to the writers' ballot, and I suspect they'd let him linger for 10 years like ARod, Manny, Sosa, ...

Re: Pardon Pete Rose?

His jail time, if I remember, was tied to not reporting revenue from memorabilia and autograph sales, not connected to his gambling ban. And I think a number of former stars were caught doing that, though I don’t know if they went to jail. So I don’t see the point.

Re: It was 50 years ago today ...

I think “Presence” is a mess and I haven’t listened to it in ages. But “In Through the Out Door” has its moments. “In the Evening” is good loud fun. “Fool in the Rain” is solid. “All of my Love” is a good listen. Drops off pretty far after that. Would have been better if “Ozone Baby,” the outtake on...

This team will hit, but the pitching is going to be ugly.
I don’t think it will be ugly. Senga, Manaea, and Peterson are all solid. The other two spots are question marks.

The last great Zeppelin album. Stuff I didn't know until recently: "Houses of the Holy" was recorded as the title track for that album but was left off because the band thought it was too similar to "Dancing Days." I'd have reversed that. "Dancing" is one of my least fa...

I'm just glad Pete is back. Would be awkward to present him with his award if he were playing for the Blue Jays. Kind of like RA Dickey and his Cy Young Award.
