I've been a bit of a blog slacker all week but sometimes my Clark Kent persona gets in the way.
Some quick hits:
Carl Pavano might start for the Yankees? Really? Does that mean that maybe John Stears will be back 'in June' as they said every year? Actually Stearns did return in 84 but damned if I recall it.
If you are the NYYs and your season is Ponson and Pavano, well maybe things didn't work out so well.
The Mets got another Reyes, this one Al. Maybe they should sign everyone named Reyes. Since they already have an A. Reyes what happens on his nameplate? Will it say Al? Mets Police don't believe in name plates anyway. If you don't know who #5 is we don't want you anyway.
The meanies at ESPN have moved the Sep 7 game to 8:05pm. That way ESPN can pick up zero national viewers against the first NFL weekend, and Mets fans can freeze on a September night at Shea.
See if we can keep ESPN distracted before they hose us on September 28 the way they hosed the Sep 21 game.
Of course if they move the game then Seaver can claim he had 'night plans' and then he won't have to go.
Shea is coming up on 17 games left, right? 17 hmmm that number sticks in my brain. Is it that someone from the Formerly Brooklyn Dodgers wore it? No that's not it. Is that how much uppers will cost next year? No that's too low. Oh now I know, 17 is the first number they give out to and Tom, Dick or Fernando. I thought I recognized the # from the outfield fence but I'm mistaken.
Have any more details leaked about Sep 28th other than Famous Dodger Mike Piazza is coming by?
How about Pelfrey being the ace? And Jerry with the complete games? He must really trust the bullpen.
Playing with fire – isn't Shawn Chacon out of baseball after pushing an executive (which is ok if you are Manny being Manny) – maybe he could give you an inning in the pen?
Don't roll your eyes at me, Omar just brought in Al who the cops had to taser (twice) earlier in the year. I'm just trying to help.
Congrats to Misty May-sigh-Trenaor and the best player on the planet Kerri Walsh on the gold.
Shout out to Faith and Fear in Flushing: thanks for the link and kind words. Over the weekend I'll send some love back.
I named my dog Reyes and I think I saw Omar watching us play catch at the park. If you see a dog in the lineup, he's mine.
Felt good to be snarky. Catch y'all later.
