I can’t say I saw him play much, and I didn’t hear him call too many baseball games – but my perception of Bobby Murcer seems to be the same as those who knew him – a genuinely likable man.
Sorry to hear that he has died.

Wagner: Under Willie it Was The Yankee Way
I may not be a huge Billy Wagner fan, but I do like his willingness to talk bluntly. As reported by Jayson Stark on ESPN.com, Wagner has been very forthcoming on the difference between Willie and Jerry:
“I don’t want to bash Willie, because I liked him,” Billy Wagner said. “But before, it was more of The Yankee Way. It wasn’t The Mets Way. There was no facial hair. You could never have music in the clubhouse. You couldn’t have kids around. Believe it or not, some of us in here actually like kids.”
Hm, I seem to remember a certain blog saying that the Mets didn’t need a Yankee at the helm.
Generic We’re Happy Mets Are Rocking 7 In A Row Post
Seven in a row. Nice. Wish I had something other to say other than nice home run, they are playing better and spunkier since Jerry took over….etc. I’m happy…what a turnaround. Very cool. I just have nothing to say about this game other than I am happy they are playing well.
Tomorrow is Four Inning Pedro, so I expect a loss….would be nice to win Sunday night and hit the break 8 of 9.
Don’t Do It Brett Favre!
Brett,
Don’t do it.
Don’t leave the Packers.
Stay retired. Or be a Packer.
Don’t be “that guy.” Don’t be the guy that plays that one extra year with the Ravens or Bucs or Bears or Jets or whoever.
Don’t be Joe Namath in a Rams uniform.
Don’t Be Johnny Unitas on the Chargers.
Don’t be Jerry Rice, finding yourself in someone else’s number, hoping to make the Broncos.
Don’t be Steve Carlton on the Giants, White Sox, Indians and Twins.
Don’t be Tom Seaver playing half a season for Boston.
