This talk of going back in time and changing the scoring of yesterday’s one hitter is crazy.  

Every time someone doesn’t like a call we’re going to appeal it?   If he had given up a second hit later would they be trying to get this down to a one hitter?

What about the 1972 Red Sox?  They finished 85-70 and a HALF GAME behind Detroit who finished 86-70.   That seems sucky in retrospect.  Let’s round everyone up, play that extra game and if Boston wins let’s replay the entire playoffs.

It also seems unfair that the 1995 Expos didn’t get a chance to win the World Series.  Let’s round everyone up and play out the end of that season.

Don Denkinger – yep let’s make that good too.

Now that there’s replay and no-hitter appeals no injustice shall stand!

You accidentally name your new rotunda after someone who never played for your team?   Keith Hernandez Rotunda here we come!

You forget your team colors are blue and orange and not black?  We’ll remind you!

Mets Sell More Than 1000 Season Box Seats; TOTAL SURPASSES GIANTS …

$3.95 – New York Times – Nov 17, 1961
The insigne done in orange and royal blue, official colors of the new club, … be available to the Mets and Houston, the other new National League team. …

I got stuck in traffic on my way from Flushing to Yankee Stadium today.  The Triboro (I mean, cough, RFK bridge – horrible idea renaming that one by the way) – anyway the Formerly Triboro had a lot of traffic and I knew I was going to be late for the Yankee game.

So I flagged down an officer and told him my predicament.  He turned on his siren and escorted me to the stadium.  I was comfortably in my seats by game time.

Now some of you may not believe me, but this is a new service available to all citizens that the NYPD has started offering.  Since all men are created equal, and there is no caste system in the United States, nor would the NYPD ever provide special treatment for one particular citizen (oh say, Alex Rodriguez), the next time you find yourself late to a ballgame pull over a cop car and yell “Hey buddy, how about an escort?”

1.  Seahawks – Favre won’t head off into the sunset happy, and neither will Holmgren.

2.  Arizona – I have been writing this blog since 1948 and have made the same prediction every year.  Never been wrong.

3.  Rams – unless Martz returns….

…oh wait he is in San Francisco, a team nobody sees coming.   Watch for J.T. O’Sullivan and the Mike Martz offense to light up the scoreboard.   They may not win it all, but they may remind you of the recent Bengals teams.

1.  Giants – teams don’t repeat, the Giants were never that good to begin with, and there is a PSL Curse upon this franchise.

2.  Eagles – Donovan McNabb is back, they have great backs blah blah blah.   Never works out.

3.  Redskins – Daniel Snyder still owns the team.  Talent won’t matter, and they don’t have the talent.

Tony Romo is for real.   Get ready for a third generation of Cowboys fans living throughout the entire country.

1.  Dolphins – Tony Sparano won’t get whacked by Bill Parcells but when you are starting the Jets discard at QB, you ain’t winning.  That being said – they will finish ahead of the Jets.  Yes, Parcells is that smart.

2.  Jets – Brett is 39 running a new offense.  Plus they are the Jets, they have a curse, as done Madden ’09.   Look for Brett to have a miserable season playing in about 9 games.

3.  Bills – one foot out the door on their way to Toronto.   Not good for the fans, not good for the team.

Yeah I’m picking the Patriots.  You’d be an idiot not to.
