At least now the overly optimistic fans can put away the “The 1986 Mets got off to a 3-5 start” every time the Mets get off on a slow start a week in!

My tour of the Mets minor league stadiums, kinda, continues with Spring Training action this Saturday vs the Nats and Sunday vs the Fish

Bobby Valentine would also be a three tenured Met as all three times were broken up.

Mike Jorgensen, David Cone, Hubie Brooks, Pedro Feliciano, Jeurys Familia, Bob L. Miller, Mike Jacobs. Do managers count? If so, Gil Hodges, Yogi Berra, Roy McMillan, Dallas Green (ugh!), Willie Randolph (double ugh!). But not Joe Torre, who never really "came back" to manage the Mets. To...

That two people died in the same house a week apart without it getting reported is pretty unusual. It's certainly not typical. But it happens. People that live alone die and on occasion, nobody notices for days until the mail piles up, overflowing the mailbox and the stench of their decomposing bod...

Love to see the stats, and I’ll probably run them myself if I get some free time at my laptop later, that suggests how much the opposite of that shirt became true ;)

Certainly the team whose logo little Mikey would be sporting on his HOF plaque’s cap, the guy on the left owned back in his day

Yeah, I do not know what is in dispute. You seemed to be coming off like Met fandom should have been more aware of Bob Gallagher’s passing back in August. I am not coming off like anything. I wrote that something was sad. I wrote that because it was sad. I did not and would not indict my fellow fan...

On another note, I met Bob at a public signing in 2006 in NJ with other lesser seen Mets Doc Medich and Johnny Stephenson. He seemed like a good guy and told my two kids to study hard in school and pay attention to Mom and Dad. Told me he was a longtime educator. Yup. It’s all over his bio on Sabr ...

Yeah, I do not know what is in dispute. You seemed to be coming off like Met fandom should have been more aware of Bob Gallagher’s passing back in August. And lamenting the fickleness of “fame,” such as it can be for certain persons, and how quickly it can fade, that can make one not realize the pa...

I’ll add that it really should be considered unusual for time frame and the persons who ended up finding them. These may have been recluses, but they certainly were not a pair of Eleanor Rigbys. They certainly have living loved ones and friends, etc. Yet NO ONE bothered to see how they were!? While...

Well of course the coverage of Gene Hackman's death is because he's Gene Hackman. But I'd call the circumstances -- where a couple of differing ages die of completely different causes just a few rooms apart and, most notably, A WEEK apart, and where the longer survivor either doesn't realize or can...

I am certain that Hackman’s and Arakawa’s families were notified before a public announcement was made. That is besides the point I was making. It is in response to a statement you wrote in support of the point you were making. You are being way too semantical. Yes, because it was a police investig...

I am certain that Hackman’s and Arakawa’s families were notified before a public announcement was made. That is besides the point I was making. The point I was making is that since they were both dead for at least a week, her longer, many personally connected or known to them were unaware of their ...

I don't think that the circumstances surrounding Hackman's death are so unusual -- at least in this sense: about 9,000 people die in the US every day. The odds are that on occasion, somebody's death will slip through the cracks and go unnoticed for longer than what is ordinary or expected. It happe...

I amn't indicting autograph collectors specifically, just the sad societal irony that somebody is important enough for his signature to be collectable, but still insignificant enough for his passing to go un-noted. Gene Hackman and his wife were dead for at least week. No one related to either of t...

On the side profile as well. Which helps when you are now with a team with the same cap color, even if your side profile no longer looks the way it did in the photo! https://deanscards.blob.core.windows.net/thirdparty/5371955f.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/FI8AAOSweo5kZoMX/s-l400.jpg https://i....

It’s been isolated for YouTube

I remember reading one time (likely during Christmas season) that buying a car for someone else as a gift is somewhat difficult. It's certainly legal and possible, but there is a lot of red tape and forms involved. Is that why it’s taking so long for Lindor to make good on the new wheels for Jeff M...

While I'm sure many of you have been enjoying the regular off season content from G-Fafif and company in the National League Town podcast, I'm happy to announce the return of the much beloved (presumably) Mets on Tap podcast for this season, where Ceetar, ABNS, Seawolf and I will be discussing all ...
