PORT ST. LUCIE — New York Mets bullpen catcher Eric Langill, 32, was charged with DUI in a single-car rollover at a traffic circle Sunday night, according to sheriffs reports.
…
A deputy quoted Langill as initially saying the accident occurred because a car cut him off as he was going home from a bowling alley.

Seaver part of terrific spring training game matchup | HeraldTribune.com
March 13, 1985.
That’s when 40-year-old Tom Seaver and 20-year-old Dwight Gooden faced each other in a Sarasota pitching duel for the ages.
Looking back, that matchup was a prime example of just how remarkable Seaver’s career was.
Because who thought Gooden’s wouldn’t turn out better?

The Mets St. Patrick’s Day uniforms
With all the new readers and twitter followers, and there are folks who may not follow blogs in the off-season, I thought I’d remind y’all about the jerseys the Mets will wear for St. Patrick’s Day.
Your next question is where can you get one. I believe they are only going to be sold in Port St. Lucie. I am going to great lengths to acquire one for myself.

The Scoring Third: The Guessing Game: MLS NY2 Stadium
An interesting blog post that suggests 126th street would not be considered for a soccer stadium.
we can rule out several locations:
Long Island – Outside the urban core
Staten Island – Outside the urban core
Meadowlands/Hoboken – Red Bulls territory
Belmont Park – Ruled out by Garber’s admission
Flushing Meadows/Citi Field – Outside the urban core
Hudson River Locations – Too close to Red Bull arena/territory
